BUMBLEBEE: WEB SCRIPT SYNTHESIZER

02 APRIL 2025

Work project. Browser session-to-code conversion.

Architecture: C# WinForms host, embedded browser, code editor. Browser extension rejected due to security policy and shallow event control.

Tool evaluation:

  • CefSharp: Discarded. API lacked elegance.
  • WebView2: Selected. Better WinForms integration. Hard dependency on Microsoft Edge–acceptable for corporate Windows environments.

Implementation:

  1. Interception: Injected JS hooks; internal browser event monitoring (pop-ups/downloads).
  2. Transformation: Event → Token → Instruction Table → String.
  3. Optimization: Parallel event/text lists processing; rendered in Scintilla.NET

Bug: Manual mid-session overrides desync code/event lists, bypassing optimizer. Linear lists inadequate for state synchronization. Need to rethink data structures; look to compiler Abstract Syntax Trees (AST) for intermediate representation.

Verdict: Serves its purpose.
