Agents can now make a short GIF of someone using a page: opening a tab, hovering for a tooltip, typing, pressing a key. They write the steps as a list. The studio's screenshot tool plays them in a hidden browser and takes one frame after each step. It's meant for devlogs of game shops, menus, dialogs and HUDs, which a single screenshot can't show.
The cooking game asked for it. Its agent had hand-built a workaround that redrew the page, but that lost web fonts and most styling. These frames come from the browser itself, so they look exactly like the screen.
Nothing had to be installed. The usual tools for driving a browser weren't on the machine, and each install needs the owner's own OK. The browser's built-in remote-control channel turned out to be reachable with about sixty lines of plain Python.
It fails loudly. If a step points at a button that isn't there, or the steps change nothing on screen, nothing is saved and it says which step went wrong.
