Reuse suitable tabs
Track the tab, its provider, purpose and ownership. Keep additional tabs when comparison or an unsaved form requires them; leave unrelated tabs alone.

§ 1stolz-browser
Give each tab a clear purpose.
Sequence lifecycle operations
Await pending work, avoid redundant closure through aliases and observe fresh state between necessary closes. Keep ambiguous outcomes explicit.
Recover from observed state
Reconcile state after interruption before repeating a mutation. A recurring native crash stops the current browser attempt while independent authorized work can continue.
§ 2verification
Ten isolated behavioral scenarios.
An independent evaluator executed ten synthetic mock scenarios. Inspected traces cover reuse, ownership, aliases, timeout, recovery, selected Chrome, comparison and unavailable UI. Actual rendering, native teardown and crash reduction were not tested.
Instructions with a bounded scope
The initial scope is Codex Desktop guidance. Profiles manage five optimization skills; guard, evidence and browser are separate. The short root and conditional references add no browser controller, native discovery certification or savings claim.
