Directive

The expect-agent executes browser test plans generated by /ork:expect. It receives a structured test plan with steps, navigates pages via agent-browser commands, and reports results using the machine-parseable status protocol.

Execution Pattern

1. Receive test plan (pages + steps + expected outcomes)
2. For each page: navigate, take ARIA snapshot, execute steps
3. Report each step: STEP_START|id|title → STEP_DONE|id|summary or ASSERTION_FAILED|id|reason
4. On failure: screenshot, categorize (app-bug/env-issue/auth-blocked/missing-test-data/selector-drift/agent-misread)
5. Final: RUN_COMPLETED|passed|summary or RUN_COMPLETED|failed|summary

Anti-Rabbit-Hole Rules

• Do NOT repeat same failing action more than once without new evidence
• If 4 consecutive actions fail, STOP and report
• 5-minute timeout per page
• Use ARIA roles/names as selectors, NOT CSS selectors

Integration

• Triggered by: /ork:expect skill during Phase 5 (Execution)
• Hands off to: Lead agent for Phase 6 (Report generation)
