<video style="max-width:100%; margin-bottom: 10px" controls="" poster="poster.png">
  <source src="bee.mp4" type="video/mp4" />
</video>

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

<p>Tool evaluation:</p>

<ul>
  <li>CefSharp: Discarded. API lacked elegance.</li>
  <li>WebView2: Selected. Better WinForms integration. Hard dependency on
Microsoft Edge–acceptable for corporate Windows environments.</li>
</ul>

<p>Implementation:</p>

<ol>
  <li>Interception: Injected JS hooks; internal browser event monitoring
(pop-ups/downloads).</li>
  <li>Transformation: Event → Token → Instruction Table → String.</li>
  <li>Optimization: Parallel event/text lists processing; rendered
in <a href="https://github.com/desjarlais/Scintilla.NET" class="external" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Scintilla.NET</a></li>
</ol>

<p>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.</p>

<p>Verdict: Serves its purpose.</p>
