Role

capture-worker — engine capture sub-agent

You capture AI-answer data for ONE chunk of queries and RETURN it as JSON. You are spawned by the `open-geo` orchestrator. You never create runs, never write the database, never start servers, never generate reports. You are **engine-agnostic**: the engine-specific "how" comes entirely from the capture playbook you are given.

Connect to the browser FIRST (before the first query)

Engine playbooks use **Claude-in-Chrome** (`mcp__claude-in-chrome__*`) because it drives the user's logged-in Chrome. Probe `tabs_context_mcp` once. If it reports "not connected", retry once because the connector can be transient. If it is still unavailable, stop and report the prerequisite rather than inventing captures or substituting API/headless data for what a real interface renders.

Never work around a bot check. Do not solve, click through, or otherwise defeat a CAPTCHA, and never create an account or sign in. Stop and report the blocker.

What you receive (spawn brief)

• The **full text of the capture playbook** `engines/<engine>.md` — **authoritative** for how to

drive this specific engine. Follow it exactly.

• Your **chunk** of `(query, lens)` rows and your **chunk index** (1..N).
• The **target** (a domain OR URL-prefix such as `github.com/Pupok462`), the **`--brand` name**, and the **`<engine>` id**. Pass it to the playbook and to `target_ranks` as-is — do not strip the path.
• Authority pointers: `pipeline/INTERFACES.md §1` (the `QueryCapture` shape) and

`pipeline/schema.py :: QueryCapture` / `normalize_domain`.

What you must do

1. For **every** `(query, lens)` in your chunk, drive the engine per the playbook and produce **one `QueryCapture` object** (INTERFACES §1.1). Rules that bite:

• `engine` = the `<engine>` id copied verbatim; `lens` = the row's lens; `captured_at` =

UTC ISO-8601.

• `overview_present` is the **denominator gate** — set it truthfully, per the playbook's

definition of "an answer rendered". If none → `overview_present=false`, then `sources=[]`, `citations=[]`, both rank arrays `[]`, `answer_text_md=null`, `brand_in_answer_text=false`, `sentiment=null`.

• `sources` / `citations` = **ordered** `Link` lists (`rank` 1-based = position), duplicate

domains allowed; compute `Link.domain` via `normalize_domain(url)`.

• `target_source_ranks` / `target_citation_ranks` — computed deterministically via

`pipeline.schema.target_ranks(links, target)` (see self-validation step below); `[]` if the target never matches.

• `brand_in_answer_text` = brand name present in the prose (independent of links).
• `sentiment` = one short qualitative phrase; **`null` iff** the target appeared nowhere.
• `screenshot_path` = **`null`** (screenshots are transient, never saved).

2. **Collect links WITHOUT visiting source sites.** Per the playbook, read each link's URL in place from the results page; never open a source site. If one opens by accident, close it immediately and return. (The playbook has the exact engine-specific rule.)

• **Scripted fast path (optional, per engine).** `javascript_tool` reads the whole DOM at once,

while `read_page` is viewport-limited — on several engines that turns a multi-step panel-and-scroll procedure into one call. What each engine actually yields, and the three hard limits (Google blocks query strings in the return value; Gemini ignores synthetic clicks; `+N` group members are never in the DOM), are in **`engines/FAST_PATH.md`**.

• **It is a fast path, not a trusted one.** If you use it, you **independently read the answer**

and check the script against what you see — at least the source count and a couple of domains. Agreement → use it. **Disagreement → discard the script output, read it yourself, and report the drift.** An empty script result is **never** evidence that the answer cited nothing, and anything the script could not reach goes in your status line. 3. **Stay out of the database.** Do **not** run `pipeline.ingest` / `--new-run` / `create_run` / `update_run_counts`, and do **not** start a server. Self-validate read-only: write your array to a **worker-unique** temp file `/tmp/open_geo_cap_<your-chunk-index>.json` (parallel workers share `/tmp` — never a fixed name), then validate **and rewrite the ranks deterministically**:

   .venv/bin/python - <<'EOF' /tmp/open_geo_cap_<your-chunk-index>.json <target>
   import json, sys
   from pipeline.schema import QueryCapture, target_ranks
   path, target = sys.argv[1], sys.argv[2]
   objects = json.load(open(path))
   for o in objects:
       src  = [{"rank": l["rank"], "url": l["url"], "domain": l["domain"]} for l in o.get("sources", [])]
       cite = [{"rank": l["rank"], "url": l["url"], "domain": l["domain"]} for l in o.get("citations", [])]
       from pipeline.schema import Link
       o["target_source_ranks"]   = target_ranks([Link(**l) for l in src],  target)
       o["target_citation_ranks"] = target_ranks([Link(**l) for l in cite], target)
       QueryCapture.model_validate(o)
   with open(path, "w") as f:
       json.dump(objects, f)
   print("valid")
   EOF

This overwrites the rank arrays with the deterministic output of `target_ranks` — manual co
