## Chain Mode

Execute multiple commands sequentially in a single call with automatic map synchronization.

**Syntax:**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp chain <command1> [args1] <command2> [args2] ...
```

**Key Features:**
- Auto-waits for page load and map generation after navigation
- Supports Smart Mode (--text) for reliable element targeting
- Adds random human-like delay (300-800ms) between commands
- Stops execution if any command fails
- Each command executes after the previous one completes

**Chain-specific Options:**
```bash
--timeout <ms>    Timeout for waiting map ready after navigation (default: 10000ms)
--delay <ms>      Fixed delay between commands (overrides random 300-800ms delay)
```

**Quote Rules:**
- No quotes needed when values have no spaces
- Use quotes when values contain spaces

**Examples:**

```bash
# Basic chain (no quotes needed)
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u <url> click --text Submit extract -s .result

# With spaces (quotes required)
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u <url> click --text "Sign In" fill -s #email -v "user@example.com"

# Login workflow with Smart Mode
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u <url> fill --text Email -v <email> fill --text Password -v <password> click --text Login

# Multi-step workflow with Korean text
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u <url> click --text "메인 메뉴" click --text "설정 변경" click --text "저장"

# Screenshot workflow
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u <url> wait -s .content-loaded screenshot -o result.png

# Custom timing
node .browser-pilot/bp chain --timeout 15000 --delay 1000 navigate -u <url> click --text Submit
```

## Daemon Commands

Daemon starts automatically on first command and stops automatically at session end.

**daemon-start** - Start daemon (auto-starts on first command)
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp daemon-start
```

**daemon-stop** - Stop daemon and close browser
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp daemon-stop
```

**daemon-restart** - Restart daemon
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp daemon-restart
```

**daemon-status** - Check daemon status
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp daemon-status
```

## System Maintenance Commands

**reinstall** - Reinstall Browser Pilot scripts

Removes the `.browser-pilot` directory to force complete reinstallation on next command. Useful when:
- Installation or build is corrupted
- Scripts are not updating properly
- Troubleshooting persistent issues

```bash
# Show confirmation prompt
node .browser-pilot/bp reinstall

# Skip confirmation and reinstall immediately
node .browser-pilot/bp reinstall --yes

# Quiet mode (no output)
node .browser-pilot/bp reinstall --yes --quiet
```

**What it does:**
1. Stops the daemon if running
2. Removes `.browser-pilot` directory completely
3. Next command will trigger automatic reinstallation via SessionStart hook

**Options:**
- `-y, --yes`: Skip confirmation prompt
- `-q, --quiet`: Suppress output messages

**Example workflow:**
```bash
# Reinstall scripts
node .browser-pilot/bp reinstall --yes

# Next command triggers automatic reinstallation
node .browser-pilot/bp navigate -u "https://example.com"
```

## Common Options

Most commands support:
- `-u, --url <url>`: Navigate to URL before action
- `--headless`: Run in headless mode (no visible browser)
- `--timeout <ms>`: Custom timeout for operations

## Smart Mode vs Direct Mode

**🌟 Recommendation: Use Smart Mode by default for better reliability**

| Feature | Smart Mode (Recommended) | Direct Mode |
|---------|--------------------------|-------------|
| Selector | Text content | CSS or XPath |
| Reliability | ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ High (stable) | ⭐⭐ Low (brittle) |
| Duplicates | Auto indexing | Manual indexing |
| Map Required | Yes (auto-generated) | No |
| Speed | Medium | Fast |
| Best For | Most cases, text-based UI | Unique IDs only |
| Maintenance | Low (text rarely changes) | High (selectors break often) |

**When to use Direct Mode:**
- Element has a unique, stable ID (e.g., `#user-profile-button`)
- Performance-critical operations requiring maximum speed
- Element has no visible text content

## Exit Codes

- `0`: Success
- `1`: General error
- Non-zero: Command failed

## Examples

**Take screenshot:**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp screenshot -u "https://example.com" -o "example.png" --full-page
```

**Login flow (Direct Mode):**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp navigate -u "https://example.com/login"
node .browser-pilot/bp fill -s "#email" -v "user@example.com"
node .browser-pilot/bp fill -s "#password" -v "secret"
node .browser-pilot/bp click -s "#login-btn"
```

**Login flow (Chain Mode):**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u "https://example.com/login" fill -s "#email" -v "user@example.com" fill -s "#password" -v "secret" click -s "#login-btn"
```

**Smart mode workflow (map auto-generated on navigate):**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp navigate -u "https://example.com"
node .browser-pilot/bp click --text "Login" --type button
node .browser-pilot/bp fill --text "Email" -v "user@example.com"
node .browser-pilot/bp fill --text "Password" -v "secret"
node .browser-pilot/bp click --text "Submit" --verify
```

**Smart mode workflow (Chain Mode):**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp chain navigate -u "https://example.com" click --text "Login" --type button fill --text "Email" -v "user@example.com" fill --text "Password" -v "secret" click --text "Submit" --verify
```

**Extract data:**
```bash
node .browser-pilot/bp navigate -u "https://example.com/products"
node .browser-pilot/bp extract -s ".product-title"
node .browser-pilot/bp extract -s ".product-price"
```
