Teams struggle when stateful browser steps depend on low-level protocol glue or a remote service that cannot see the operator's actual session.

The need is usually a local control plane that can be scripted cleanly.

Recommended Approach

A local browser daemon keeps stateful browser execution on the machine where the browser already lives while exposing a stable endpoint for runbooks.

iatlas-browser provides this through its localhost daemon and command model.

Key Takeaways

  • Runbooks need a stable local browser control plane.
  • Stateful browser steps should execute where the session lives.
  • A daemon API is easier to script than raw browser protocols.
  • Hosted APIs are for public and stateless tasks.

Fast Start

  1. Run the daemon on the operator machine.
  2. Call the health and command endpoints from the runbook.
  3. Keep session-aware logic local.
  4. Use hosted APIs only for public retrieval.
