+The model reports one of two results when it finishes a form: `ready`, every required field filled, or `blocked`. Status `ready` needs the send control's selector, so always name that control. The rules every form gets already cover a captcha puzzle, a login wall, a closed posting and a required fact about the candidate that the CV does not give, so say `blocked` only for what is this site's own.
+
+## When the model is stuck
+
+A plugin earns its keep in the moments the form does not behave. The model is told, for every site, never to repeat an action that left the page as it was; the plugin says what to do instead on this site. Write it as the failure the model will see, then the way out, and say where it was seen. What real forms have shown so far:
+
+- A click "not actionable" or "would have landed elsewhere": something covers the control. Name the cover and how to dismiss it (a cookie banner: the "Decline all" button inside `div[aria-label='Cookie Consent']` on Workable).
+- browser_type refused with "not an input": the id sits on a wrapper. Name the control itself (`input#question_<uuid>` or `textarea#question_<uuid>` on SmartRecruiters).
+- An upload refused, "the click landed on an icon": name the input that took the file on a real form (`#description_input_<id>` on Workable).
+- A key that scrolls nothing: the form scrolls inside its own container. Say to reach a field with `scrollIntoView()` through browser_evaluate (SmartRecruiters), not with PageDown.
+- A page that redraws itself after every click without changing address (Workday): say to read the page again after each one.
+- A code or a link sent by email: say what this site's message looks like, its sender and its subject, if you have seen one. Where to look for it is the mailbox plugins' business, and the model's.
+
+Give the cost when you know it: "seen on a real form, 40 steps lost" tells the model how much the shortcut is worth.
+
+## Menus and dropdowns
+
+`menus.md` reaches the model on every form. It names the five kinds of list, the test that tells them apart, how to check that a choice was taken, and the two ways past a click that does not land. A site's plugin adds only what is that site's own: an id pattern such as Paylocity's `#<id>__listbox__option__N`, or a list that hides its rows in a shadow root, as SmartRecruiters does.
+
+## What belongs in a plugin
+
+Write only what the model cannot work out for itself. A fact it cannot derive stays: where a control is, what it is called, that a key is refused, that an id is a uuid, that a button has no id at all. A decision it can make by reading the page goes: which field to fill first, which search to try, how many times to read the page. Writing those down pins it to one road even when the road is wrong, fills the prompt at every step, and stops it thinking.
+
+Belongs: "Do not click "Apply with LinkedIn"; the CV goes in `#resume-upload-input`." It names a trap and a selector the page does not show.
+
+Does not belong: "Fill the name field with the candidate's name." The model reads the label and knows.
+
+Two things are not road but boundary, and they stay. What the model must not do, because a real person's accounts and name are at stake. And when to stop, because steps cost money it cannot see.
+
+## What the code already decides
+
+- One form has 150 steps, and then it ends as blocked. A shortcut that saves steps is worth a sentence, with its cost: "seen on a real form, 40 steps lost".
+- A form may reach a mailbox twice. The third arrival ends it. Do not promise the model more looks than that.
+- Every form already gets these rules, so do not write them again: never sign in or register through Google, LinkedIn or another service; stay on the form's own site and the mailbox; a closed posting is reported, not hunted elsewhere; a fact about the candidate that neither the CV nor the answers give is never written, and a required field asking for one ends the form.
+- The plugins with `when: always`, `menus.md`, `gmail.md` and `outlook.md`, are added to every form. A site plugin that contradicts them leaves the model with two answers.

 - **Unit tests.** `tests/test_plugins.py` shows how a plugin is checked: `fill_form` runs against `ScriptedModel` and `ScriptedBrowser` from `tests/fakes.py`, with no network and no send. Run `pytest -m "not browser"`.
 - **A local page.** `tests/test_real_browser.py` serves a form from `127.0.0.1` and runs the real browser on it. Copy a site's form structure into such a page to check the selectors, with `pytest -m browser`.
 - **The batch screen.** If you select a job and press `a` by mistake, Esc at the confirmation sends nothing and says "Nothing was sent."

+A field that makes you choose is one of five things, and which one decides what works. Read it with browser_snapshot or browser_read_html first, and tell them apart by what takes the focus.
+
+1. A native `<select>`: `browser_select_option` with the option's value or its label. A click on it is wasted.
+2. A listbox: what takes the focus is a div or a button, often showing "--" or "Select One". Click it to open its list, read the options, click the one you want. The list is named by the field's `aria-controls` or `aria-owns`, and where it is not, it is the element that appeared on the click; some sites name it with the field's own id and `__listbox` after it.
+3. A typeahead: what takes the focus is an editable text input, and typing filters the rows. Type the words of your answer, read the rows, and click the row that matches it, or the first if they all do. On some sites that row reads "Create" and your words, and still sets the value.
+4. A radio or checkbox group drawn as a menu: nothing opens, the real input is hidden, and a div beside it takes the click. Click that div by what it holds, such as `div[role="radio"]:has(input[name="Q_1"][value="true"])`.
+5. A tag field: one input that keeps several values, each added by typing it and pressing Enter. Add one value at a time and read the tags back.
+
+A click the tool called a success often leaves the field empty: read the field's own text back and see your answer in it.
+
+When a click does not land, and the tool says the event would have landed elsewhere or the element is not actionable, do not click it again: the option is under something else. There are two ways past it. With the list open, press ArrowDown and read which row is now highlighted, from the list's `aria-activedescendant` or the row's own class, and press Enter when it is yours. Or read that row's box with browser_evaluate and click its centre with browser_click_at: those numbers are viewport pixels, the same as a snapshot's `at`. Never take a point off a screenshot by eye, and never click from a script, because the browser refuses an event a script made.
+
+When one field has beaten you three times, leave it. If it is optional, go on without it. If it is required, call finish_form with status blocked and name that field.

+After sending: the page says "Fertig!" and "Danke für deine Bewerbung!" on a German form, at an address ending in `/applied`. Read the page: if the form is still there, the application was not received.

 Name and email: type each with browser_type, using the selector that browser_snapshot gives for it verbatim, for example `#first-name-input >> #first-name-input`, `#email-input >> #email-input`, `#confirm-email-input >> #confirm-email-input`.
 
-City: type the city, then click the suggestion that matches the CV (for example "Milan, Italy", not another Milan) as described under Menus.

 Phone, in two parts. First the country: the combobox labelled "Country code" shows a flag and a dial code, which differs per posting (+1, +971). If it is already the number's country, leave it. Click it with browser_click_at, at the point browser_snapshot gives in its `at`. A list opens with a search field, "Search by country/region or code": type the country name into it with browser_type (`input[placeholder='Search by country/region or code']`), for example "United Kingdom". Choose its row as described under Menus. The button then shows the dial code, "+44". Then the number: type into the field labelled "Phone number", with browser_type and its snapshot selector (`#spl-form-element_5 >> #spl-form-element_5 >> #spl-form-element_5`), the national number without the dial code and without a leading 0, written as `<national number>` here. The page shows it in groups and keeps "+44". Do not type the dial code into the number field. Read the field under the phone: if it says "Please provide a valid phone number", the page refused the number. Numbers in the range 07700 900000 to 07700 900999 are refused this way: the page turns them into "1481 7700900123" (Guernsey). Then report the form as blocked and say so; do not try other spellings of that number.
 
 Upload the CV with browser_upload_files and the selector `[data-test='resume-upload'] >> div`: the dropzone "Choose a file or drop it here" in the Resume section. Do not use the file input `#spl-dropzone-file-input-1` or the label that points at it: the input covers the dropzone, so a click on the label lands on the input and fails. Leave the input inside `apply-with-resume-container` alone. Confirm the attachment with a screenshot: the file name (test-application.pdf) appears under the dropzone with a trash icon. The page's text does not show the name, and the tool may say the input is empty again: the page clears the input once it has read the file, and that is normal. Do not upload again when the name shows.
 
-Menus (the country list, City suggestions, a dropdown's answers) open a list under their field, inside the shadow root. browser_snapshot does not list their rows. To choose a row: type in its search field if it has one; take a screenshot to see the list; then read the row's centre with browser_evaluate, which only reads: walk into shadow roots and take the innermost element whose text starts with the row's text and whose box has a width. Its centre is in viewport pixels, the same units as the snapshot's `at`. Click that point with browser_click_at. Do not take a point from the picture itself: a screenshot's pixels are not the viewport's on every screen. Check the choice took: the closed field shows the chosen text (the country button shows "+44"), and the error under the field is gone.
+Menus here are the shadow-root case of the menus rules: the country list, the City suggestions and a dropdown's answers all open under their field, inside the shadow root, and browser_snapshot does not list their rows. The row to click is the innermost element whose text starts with the row's text and whose box has a width: walk the shadow roots with browser_evaluate to find it. A choice has taken when the closed field shows it, for example the country button showing "+44", and the error under the field is gone.
 
 The footer "Next" button has no selector in browser_snapshot: read its centre the same way (browser_evaluate reads, then browser_click_at). Leave "Add" under Experience and Education alone unless the page requires an entry: "Please provide at least one work experience entry" under Experience means it does. Then add one from the CV: Title, Company and Office location suggest as you type, and From and To take MM/YYYY.
 
 The form scrolls inside its own container, so PageUp and PageDown move nothing: seen on a real form, 40 steps lost pressing them. To reach a field, call its `scrollIntoView()` with browser_evaluate, walking the shadow roots.

+The "Preliminary questions" step often asks for the right to work, sponsorship, and a block of required boxes with the person's name and today's date, stating that the answers are true. Its fields carry an id `question_<uuid>` on a wrapper and on the control alike: type into `input#question_<uuid>` or `textarea#question_<uuid>`, never the bare id, which browser_type refuses ("not an input"). Seen on a real form, one step lost that way.
 
-The last step's footer control sends the application: `[data-test='footer-submit']`, labelled "Submit". Its label is what the page says, for example "Submit application". Never click it. If a plain CSS selector matches only that control, name it as the submit control; if none does, call finish_form with status blocked and say that the send control could not be named.

 The application form is one page, and its labels follow the company's language, so go by each field's name. Questions come first, then "Personal details", the attachments, the consent box and "Submit application". Read the whole page before you fill it.
 
-Questions are inputs named `candidate[answers_attributes][N][...]`. A yes/no is a radio whose visible label is "Yes"/"No" (or "Ja"/"Nej"); its input is hidden, so click the label. A list of boxes is a checkbox group. A number is a slider with an "Edit number" button. Some questions are custom menus: a button with aria-haspopup="menu" shows the current value as its text, and a hidden required input behind it holds the value the form sends. To answer one, click the button to open it, then read the options from the page (browser_read_text, or a snapshot taken after it opens). Where the options are buttons with role="menuitem" and a data-v attribute, click the one that matches the answer by its selector, for example `button[role="menuitem"][data-v="Engineering"]`. Check that it took: the button's text shows the chosen value and the hidden input reads the same value (browser_evaluate). A click by coordinates is the last resort.
