Pivots Foragent from five narrow verbs to one generalist browser-task capability plus a small set of fast-path specialists. Step 5 showed hand-written site-specific code doesn't scale and that structured typed skills are hostile to the natural-language callers (mostly other LLM agents) Foragent actually has. §5 wholesale rewrite: two-tier capability model (§5.1), v0.2 initial set with browser-task as the generalist (§5.2), multi-phase flows with returned artifacts (§5.5), learning substrate on RockBot's ISkillStore + ILongTermMemory (§5.6), human-in-the-loop explicitly caller-side (§5.7). §3.7 adds LLM tier routing via RockBot's TieredChatClientRegistry. §7.1 makes allowlists mandatory with wildcard support. §9.1 adds steps 6-9; §9.2 drops the Stagehand exclusion. §12 closes Q1/Q2; adds Q6/Q7/Q8 for the step 6-8 work. Appendix A gains decisions #16-#20: direct-SDK (no MCP/Stagehand), tier routing, mandatory wildcarded allowlists, framework persistence for learned knowledge, multi-phase as separate tasks.

Ships the phase-1 / phase-3 form capability pair from spec §5.5 and
bumps the RockBot framework to 0.9.* for the multi-file skill API.
- FormSchema / FormField wire types with stable JSON serializer options.
- IBrowserPage.ScanFormAsync: single-JS-pass deterministic form read
(labels, validation attrs, select/radio options). Adds
SelectOptionAsync + SetCheckedAsync for the batch submit path.
- LearnFormSchemaCapability: navigate → deterministic scan →
FormSchemaEnricher (one LLM turn, can only add dependsOn + notes;
structural fields are DOM-authoritative) → persist as Skill with a
SkillResourceType.JsonSchema "schema.json" resource at
sites/{host}/forms/{slug}.
- ExecuteFormBatchCapability: resolves schema by skillRef via
ISkillStore.GetResourceAsync or inline; streams per-row progress via
AgentTaskContext.PublishStatus; default mode "abort-on-first"
(spec open-question #8 resolution), caller opts into "continue".
Success signal: optional successIndicator selector, URL-change
fallback.
- Package bump 0.8.* → 0.9.* (adds RockBot.Llm.Abstractions). Docker
image rockylhotka/rockbot-agent 0.8.5 → 0.9.11 so the peer side
gets PR #291 structured-data invoke_agent.
- Version scheme adopted: 0.2.0-alpha.8 in Directory.Build.props,
documented in CLAUDE.md Conventions.
- 14 unit tests + 1 Kestrel+Chromium end-to-end integration test.
Resolves spec open-questions #6 (typed artifacts — uses RockBot 0.9
resource files, no parallel Foragent store) and #8 (batch semantics —
abort-on-first default).

Summary
Pivots
docs/foragent-specification.mdto an agentic model: one generalistbrowser-taskcapability plus narrow fast-path specialists, with RockBot'sISkillStore+ILongTermMemoryas the learning substrate. Steps 6–9 added to §9.1. Built directly onMicrosoft.PlaywrightNuGet (no MCP sidecar, no Stagehand port — see Appendix A #16).Context: the v0.1 spec envisioned five narrow site-specific verbs. Step 5 surfaced the scaling problem (hand-written
ISitePosterper site) and the calling-agent shape mismatch (invoke_agentpasses free-text; typed skills are hostile to natural-language callers). v0.2 addresses both.What changed in the spec
