But this creates a more predictable boundary. Like in theory, all business digital workflows should be automated in a predictable way, not just “trust the AI bro” style.

Does this mean the CLI generates a reusable script or abstraction for a specific site so it doesn't have to re-evaluate the entire page structure on every run?
