Definitions that matter
A source page is an input webpage, even if several sources become one file. A research packet is a local Markdown collection with source references and prompts, not an AI report. A saved-history path records a successful save, not proof that the file still exists.
Ordinary extraction reads loaded DOM without scrolling, crawling, logging in or downloading media. Local allowance is installation-based and resettable. It is not an account subscription.
Boundaries
Coverage varies by route and current site markup; tests against fixtures are not a guarantee for every live page. Directory permission and Native Host connection checks require real-browser manual testing. The separate experimental Research Agent is off by default and deferred as a finished product.
