Excerpt

GCU Browser Automation

All GCU browser automation drives a real Chrome instance through the Beeline extension and Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). You drive it from the terminal: every command is hive-browser <command> ... --json, run through terminal_exec. Always pass --json so the result is machine-readable. That means clicks, keystrokes, and screenshots are processed by the actual browser's native hit testing, focus, and layout engines — not a synthetic event layer. Understanding this unlocks strategies that make hard sites easy.
