alt Hacker NewsThe WASM pass is fully deterministic: it’s just code running in the page to extract and prune post-rendered elements (roles, geometry, visibility, layout, etc), no agent involved in the chrome extension .
The “deterministic overrides” aren’t generated by a verifier agent either; they’re runtime rules that kick in when assertions or ordinality constraints are explicit (e.g. “first result”). The verifier just checks outcomes — it doesn’t invent actions. Because the nature of ai agents is non-deterministic, which we don’t want to introduce to the verification layer (predicate only).

So there a pre-defined list of rules - is it choosing which checks to care about from the set, or is there also a predefined binding between the task and the test?
If it's the former, then you have to ensure that the checks are sufficiently generic that there's a useful test for the given situation. Is an AI doing the choosing, over which of the checks to run?
If it's the ladder, I would assume that writing the tests would be the bottleneck, writing a test can be as flaky/time-consuming as implementing the actions by hand.
