I am seeing essentially deterministic results with Terra running a custom browser automation agent across >100 interaction events. The harness is everything. If I just threw something like Codex at this and said "good luck" I wouldn't make it beyond 5-10 interactions. I tried that already. Carefully designing the views and tools over the environment is where you can go from 50% to 99.9999%.

Curious about what you found. I agree harness for browser automation is vital - I work on https://libretto.sh https://libretto.sh

  Hand-crafted adapters that sit between playwright primitives and the agent loop are the secret sauce. The goal is to insulate the agent from the raw DOM without any loss in fidelity regarding the logical business information and available actions.

    +1 I have found extremely reliable systems require a mix of deterministic "adapters" is a good word for agents to actually get through the workflows I've created. I'm still amazed that it can work with both those and some "intuition" to bend the rules around the adapters if prompted.
