Octocode Chrome DevTools
Flow: launch/attach → pick one intent → write focused `run(cdp)` → run sandbox → parse prefixes → iterate → cleanup.
Related workflow: if the user needs broad public scraping, site maps, structured extraction, or a static crawl first, use `octocode-scraping` to build the corpus/automation graph; return here only to validate or execute live actions (search inputs, buttons, menus, pagination, infinite scroll), cookies/storage, screenshots, network, auth-gated state, or actionability.
