# explore-unfamiliar-target ## Goal Explore the unfamiliar target currently assigned to the run. ## Operating Contract - Work from the visible app state rather than assuming a fixed flow. - Capture enough evidence for highlights, limitations, and a short brief. - Prefer user-visible value over exhaustive settings exploration. ## Inputs - targetName - artifactsRootDir - analysisFocus ## Outputs - findings.md - highlights.json - limitations.json - worker-summary.json - screenshots/* ## Budget - maxMinutes=12 - maxActions=60 - maxScreenshots=12 ## Allowed Surfaces - Only the surfaces assigned to the run - Supporting workspace windows only when required ## Stop Conditions - Enough evidence exists for 2-3 highlights and 1 limitation. - The budget is exhausted. - A hard block such as authentication or missing permissions prevents further exploration. ## Decision Heuristics - Prefer first-run onboarding and core feature paths. - Capture screenshots only when they materially improve the brief. ## Failure Policy - Escalate if payment is required. - Escalate if personal account creation is required. - Escalate if the app crashes repeatedly.
