QE Browser
Thin AQE-owned wrapper around Vibium that adds QE-specific primitives: typed assertions, batch execution, visual-diff against baselines, prompt-injection scanning, and semantic intent scoring.
Engine: Vibium — single ~10MB Go binary, built on WebDriver BiDi (W3C standard), Apache-2.0 licensed, published on npm/PyPI/Maven Central. Auto-launches a background daemon and auto-downloads Chrome for Testing on first use.
Why Vibium, not Playwright?
- 10MB binary vs ~300MB Playwright install
- WebDriver BiDi standard (not CDP) — future-proof for Firefox/Safari
--jsonmode on every command (matches AQE structured-output rule)- Built-in MCP server:
npx -y vibium mcp - First-class semantic locators:
find text|label|placeholder|testid|role|xpath|alt|title
Platform support (verified 2026-04-09 against Vibium v26.3.18)
| Platform | npm install -g vibium | vibium go <url> | smoke-test.sh |
|---|---|---|---|
| macOS arm64 (Apple Silicon native) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| macOS x64 (Intel) | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Linux x86_64 | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ |
| Windows x64 | ✅ | ✅ | not yet tested |
| Linux ARM64 (aarch64) | ✅ binary itself | ⚠️ Workaround required | ✅ after workaround |
Linux ARM64 workaround
Google Chrome for Testing does not publish a linux-arm64 build. Vibium falls back to chrome-linux64 (x86_64) on aarch64 hosts, which fails under Rosetta with failed to open elf at /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2. To run qe-browser on a Linux ARM64 codespace or container:
# 1. Install Vibium normally — the vibium binary itself IS native ARM64
npm install -g vibium
# 2. Install Debian's native ARM64 chromium + chromedriver
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y chromium chromium-driver
# 3. Symlink Vibium's broken cached binaries to the native system ones.
# Run after `vibium install` (auto-runs on first `vibium go`).
for dir in ~/.cache/vibium/chrome-for-testing/*/; do
# Newer Vibium layout (v26.3.x): chromedriver and chrome at the root
if [ -e "$dir/chromedriver" ]; then
rm -f "$dir/chromedriver" "$dir/chrome"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromedriver "$dir/chromedriver"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromium "$dir/chrome"
fi
# Older Vibium layout: chromedriver-linux64/ and chrome-linux64/ subdirs
if [ -e "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver" ]; then
rm -f "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver" "$dir/chrome-linux64/chrome"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromedriver "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromium "$dir/chrome-linux64/chrome"
fi
done
# 4. Verify
vibium --headless go https://httpbin.org/html
vibium --headless title # → "Herman Melville - Moby-Dick"This workaround is verified working on Debian bookworm aarch64 with chromium 146.0.7680.177-1~deb12u1. Track upstream — when Vibium adds a --browser-path flag or Google ships linux-arm64 Chrome for Testing, this section becomes obsolete.
Headless mode
Helper scripts (assert.js, batch.js, visual-diff.js, check-injection.js, intent-score.js) automatically inject --headless into every vibium invocation because the qe-browser skill is designed for QE/CI use cases where there's no display server. Vibium itself defaults to "visible by default" — running vibium go on a headless container without --headless fails with Missing X server or $DISPLAY.
Opt out for interactive debugging:
QE_BROWSER_HEADED=1 node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/assert.js --checks '...'When you call vibium directly (not through a helper), pass --headless yourself if you're in a container:
vibium --headless go https://example.com
vibium --headless titleActivation
- When a QE skill needs to navigate, read, interact with, or capture a web page
- When running visual regression tests against stored baselines
- When asserting page state (URL, text visibility, console errors, network failures)
- When validating exploitability of security findings (pentest)
- When scanning untrusted pages for prompt injection
- When running batch automation with explicit pass/fail gates
Core Workflow
Every browser-driven QE task follows the same shape:
1. Navigate — vibium go <url> 2. Map — vibium map to get element refs (@e1, @e2, …) 3. Interact — vibium click @e1, vibium fill @e2 "text" 4. Verify — use this skill's assert.js to run typed checks, OR use vibium diff map to see what changed 5. Re-map if DOM changed
# Typical login flow verification
vibium go https://app.example.com/login
vibium map --json > /tmp/refs.json
vibium fill @e1 "$USERNAME"
vibium fill @e2 "$PASSWORD"
vibium click @e3
vibium wait url "/dashboard"
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/assert.js --checks '[
{"kind": "url_contains", "text": "/dashboard"},
{"kind": "no_console_errors"},
{"kind": "no_failed_requests"}
]'Ref Lifecycle — use diff map
Vibium refs are invalidated when the DOM changes. Instead of versioning refs manually, Vibium gives you vibium diff map which shows exactly what's new, removed, or repositioned since the last map call. After any interaction that changes the DOM:
vibium click @e3
vibium diff map --json # shows added/removed/moved refsThis is cleaner than tracking version numbers — you get a structured delta you can feed directly into the next action.
QE Primitives (this skill's value-add)
All scripts live in .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/ and shell out to vibium. They expect vibium to be on PATH (installed by aqe init).
assert.js — Typed assertions with 16 check kinds
node scripts/assert.js --checks '[
{"kind": "url_contains", "text": "/dashboard"},
{"kind": "text_visible", "text": "Welcome"},
{"kind": "selector_visible", "selector": "#user-menu"},
{"kind": "value_equals", "selector": "input[name=email]", "value": "user@test.com"},
{"kind": "no_console_errors"},
{"kind": "no_failed_requests"},
{"kind": "response_status", "url": "/api/user", "status": 200},
{"kind": "element_count", "selector": ".result", "op": ">=", "count": 5}
]'All 16 kinds: url_contains, url_equals, text_visible, text_hidden, selector_visible, selector_hidden, value_equals, attribute_equals, no_console_errors, no_failed_requests, response_status, request_url_seen, console_message_matches, element_count, title_matches, page_source_contains.
Full reference: references/assertion-kinds.md.
Exit code is non-zero if any check fails. Output is JSON: { "passed": N, "failed": M, "results": [...] }.
batch.js — Multi-step execution with stop-on-failure
node scripts/batch.js --steps '[
{"action": "go", "url": "https://example.com/login"},
{"action": "fill", "ref": "@e1", "text": "user@test.com"},
{"action": "fill", "ref": "@e2", "text": "secret"},
{"action": "click", "ref": "@e3"},
{"action": "wait_url", "pattern": "/dashboard"},
{"action": "assert", "checks": [{"kind": "no_console_errors"}]}
]' --summary-onlyReduces round-trips vs calling vibium per step. Supports --stop-on-failure (default true) and --summary-only.
visual-diff.js — Pixel diff against stored baselines
# First run — creates baseline
node scripts/visual-diff.js --name "homepage"
# Subsequent runs — compare
node scripts/visual-diff.js --name "homepage" --threshold 0.05
# Scope to an element
node scripts/visual-diff.js --name "hero" --selector "#hero"
# Reset baseline after intentional change
node scripts/visual-diff.js --name "homepage" --update-baselineBaselines stored in .aqe/visual-baselines/ (project-local, gitignored by default). Uses pixelmatch for pixel comparison; returns similarity % and diff image path.
check-injection.js — Prompt injection scanner
Scans the current page content for known prompt-injection patterns (ignore previous instructions, system prompts in hidden text, etc.). Ported from gsd-browser's heuristic scanner (MIT/Apache).
vibium go https://untrusted-page.com
node scripts/check-injection.js --include-hidden --jsonReturns severity-ranked findings. Intended for pentest-validation, injection-analyst, and aidefence-guardian.
intent-score.js — 15 semantic intents
Heuristic-scored element discovery — no LLM round-trip. Ported from gsd-browser's intent.rs:59-385 (MIT/Apache).
node scripts/intent-score.js --intent accept_cookies
node scripts/intent-score.js --intent submit_form --scope "#login-form"
node scripts/intent-score.js --intent primary_ctaIntents: submit_form, close_dialog, primary_cta, search_field, next_step, dismiss, auth_action, back_navigation, fill_email, fill_password, fill_username, accept_cookies, main_content, pagination_next, pagination_prev.
Returns top 5 candidates with scores and selectors. Useful for dismissing cookie banners, finding login forms, and navigating through wizards without having to map the whole page.
Common QE Patterns
Pattern 1 — Visual regression in CI
vibium go "$STAGING_URL"
vibium wait load
node scripts/visual-diff.js --name "homepage-$(uname -m)" --threshold 0.02
# Non-zero exit if diff exceeds thresholdPattern 2 — E2E flow with explicit assertions
node scripts/batch.js --steps @flows/login-flow.json
node scripts/assert.js --checks @assertions/post-login.jsonPattern 3 — Accessibility audit without axe round-trip
vibium go "$URL"
vibium a11y-tree --json > a11y.json
# Analyze a11y.json with axe-core or in-skill rulesPattern 4 — Auth state reuse
# Once: log in and save state
vibium go https://app.example.com/login
vibium fill "input[name=email]" "$USERNAME"
vibium fill "input[name=password]" "$PASSWORD"
vibium click "button[type=submit]"
vibium wait url "/dashboard"
vibium storage -o .aqe/auth/myapp.json
# Every subsequent run
vibium storage restore .aqe/auth/myapp.json
vibium go https://app.example.com/dashboardPattern 5 — Pentest exploit validation
vibium go "$TARGET"
node scripts/check-injection.js --include-hidden > injection-report.json
vibium record start --name "exploit-$(date +%s)"
# Perform exploit steps via vibium commands
vibium record stop -o evidence.zipPattern 6 — Semantic cookie banner dismissal
vibium go "$URL"
# Heuristic scoring — no LLM needed
ACCEPT=$(node scripts/intent-score.js --intent accept_cookies --json | jq -r '.candidates[0].selector // empty')
[ -n "$ACCEPT" ] && vibium click "$ACCEPT"MCP Integration
Vibium ships its own MCP server. Use via:
claude mcp add vibium -- npx -y vibium mcpWhen Vibium MCP tools are available (mcp__vibium__*), prefer them over shell-out for the core navigate/map/click/fill operations. Continue to use this skill's scripts/ for the QE-specific primitives (assertions, batch, visual-diff, injection, intents) — they are not part of Vibium.
Fallback Policy
If vibium is not installed (e.g., aqe init hasn't run or user opted out), the qe-browser helper scripts implement the contract automatically. You don't have to grep error strings. Each script:
1. Catches the VibiumUnavailableError thrown by lib/vibium.js when the binary isn't on PATH 2. Emits a structured skipped envelope (see Output Contract below) with vibiumUnavailable: true at the top level and output.reason: "browser-engine-unavailable" 3. Exits with exit code 2 (skipped, distinct from 0=success and 1=failed) 4. Never silently falls back to Playwright or puppeteer-extra
Downstream skills that shell out to these helpers can branch on the structured fields:
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/assert.js --checks "$CHECKS"
EXIT=$?
case $EXIT in
0) echo "passed" ;;
1) echo "failed" ; cat last-output.json ;;
2) echo "skipped — vibium not installed; run \`aqe init\` or \`npm install -g vibium\`" ;;
esacOr in Node:
const result = JSON.parse(stdout);
if (result.vibiumUnavailable) {
// Surface skipped status to the caller; do NOT mark as failed
return { status: 'skipped', reason: result.output.reason };
}Migration from Playwright
If you have an existing Playwright test:
// Playwright
await page.goto('https://example.com');
await page.fill('input[name=email]', 'user@test.com');
await page.click('button[type=submit]');
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/dashboard/);Becomes:
# qe-browser
vibium go https://example.com
vibium fill "input[name=email]" "user@test.com"
vibium click "button[type=submit]"
vibium wait url "/dashboard"
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/assert.js --checks '[
{"kind": "url_contains", "text": "/dashboard"}
]'Full migration guide: references/migration-from-playwright.md.
Output Contract
All scripts emit a structured JSON envelope. There are three valid status values:
success (exit code 0)
{
"skillName": "qe-browser",
"version": "1.0.0",
"timestamp": "2026-04-09T12:00:00Z",
"status": "success",
"trustTier": 3,
"output": {
"operation": "assert",
"summary": "All 6 assertions passed",
"assert": { ... }
},
"metadata": { "executionTimeMs": 142 }
}failed (exit code 1)
Same shape; status: "failed" indicates a genuine assertion failure or operation error. The output.* block carries the per-check details.
skipped (exit code 2) — F1 contract
Emitted when vibium is not installed on PATH. Top-level vibiumUnavailable: true is the canonical signal for downstream skills.
{
"skillName": "qe-browser",
"version": "1.0.0",
"timestamp": "2026-04-09T12:00:00Z",
"status": "skipped",
"trustTier": 3,
"vibiumUnavailable": true,
"output": {
"operation": "assert",
"summary": "vibium binary not found on PATH. Install via `npm install -g vibium` or run `aqe init`.",
"reason": "browser-engine-unavailable",
"error": "vibium binary not found on PATH...",
"remediation": [
"Install vibium globally: `npm install -g vibium`",
"Or re-run `aqe init` to install via the AQE bootstrap",
"Set QE_BROWSER_HEADED=1 only for interactive debugging (not the cause here)"
]
},
"metadata": { "executionTimeMs": 0 }
}Exit code summary
| Exit | Status | Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 0 | success | every assertion passed / operation completed |
| 1 | failed | genuine assertion failure or operation error |
| 2 | skipped | vibium unavailable; environment problem, not a test result |
CI tooling can use the exit code to distinguish "test legitimately failed" (block the build) from "we couldn't run the test because the browser engine isn't installed" (warn but don't block).
Validate with scripts/validate-config.json + schemas/output.json.

skill: qe-browser
version: 1.0.0
status: active
description: >
Runnable eval suite for the qe-browser fleet skill, executed via
`aqe eval run --skill qe-browser`. Uses the CommandEvalRunner
(src/validation/command-eval-runner.ts) which evaluates exit codes and
JSON envelopes from each primitive's stdout. See ADR-091.
The runner dispatches to CommandEvalRunner when the first test_case has
`input.command` set; the pre-existing LLM-prompt runner remains the
default for skills without shell-based primitives.
Supported assertions:
- exit_code strict equality vs process exit
- json_fields dotted JSONPath -> expected value (deep)
- severity_at_least ordered: none < low < medium < high < critical
- candidate_count_at_least numeric lower bound
Setup steps in `input.setup[]` run sequentially before `input.command`.
Any non-zero setup exit short-circuits the test as failed.

qe-browser: Assertion Kinds Reference
Full reference for the 16 typed check kinds accepted by scripts/assert.js --checks.
All checks return { passed: boolean, actual, expected, message? } and the overall runner returns a JSON envelope with passed, failed, and results arrays.
Page state checks
url_contains
{ "kind": "url_contains", "text": "/dashboard" }Passes if location.href contains the given substring.
url_equals
{ "kind": "url_equals", "url": "https://app.example.com/login" }Passes if location.href exactly equals the given URL.
title_matches
{ "kind": "title_matches", "pattern": "^Dashboard — .*" }Passes if document.title matches the given regex. pattern is a JS-style regex string.
page_source_contains
{ "kind": "page_source_contains", "text": "data-testid=\"hero\"" }Passes if document.documentElement.outerHTML contains the given substring. Use sparingly — slow on large pages.
Content checks
text_visible
{ "kind": "text_visible", "text": "Welcome, Jane" }Passes if document.body.innerText contains the given substring.
text_hidden
{ "kind": "text_hidden", "text": "Loading…" }Passes if document.body.innerText does NOT contain the given substring. Use after a spinner should have gone away.
Element checks
selector_visible
{ "kind": "selector_visible", "selector": "#user-menu" }Passes if document.querySelector(selector) exists AND has non-zero dimensions AND display is not none AND visibility is not hidden AND opacity > 0.
selector_hidden
{ "kind": "selector_hidden", "selector": ".error-banner" }Passes if the selector either doesn't exist OR is invisible.
value_equals
{ "kind": "value_equals", "selector": "input[name=email]", "value": "user@test.com" }Passes if element.value === value. For <input>, <textarea>, <select>.
attribute_equals
{ "kind": "attribute_equals", "selector": "#toggle", "attribute": "aria-pressed", "value": "true" }Passes if element.getAttribute(attribute) === value.
element_count
{ "kind": "element_count", "selector": ".result", "op": ">=", "count": 5 }Passes if document.querySelectorAll(selector).length satisfies op count. Operators: ==, >=, <=, >, <.
Console checks
no_console_errors
{ "kind": "no_console_errors" }Passes if the captured console log has zero entries with level error or severe. Console buffer may reset on navigation — run this check BEFORE navigating away from the page you care about.
console_message_matches
{ "kind": "console_message_matches", "pattern": "ready: \\d+" }Passes if any console entry's message matches the given regex.
Network checks
no_failed_requests
{ "kind": "no_failed_requests" }Passes if no captured network entry has status >= 400 or failed === true. Same caveat as no_console_errors — network buffer may reset on navigation.
response_status
{ "kind": "response_status", "url": "/api/user", "status": 200 }Passes if a captured network entry whose URL contains the given substring has exactly the given status code.
request_url_seen
{ "kind": "request_url_seen", "url": "/analytics.js" }Passes if any captured network entry's URL contains the given substring. Use to verify that a specific request was made.
Combining checks
Pass multiple checks in one call — the runner evaluates them in order and reports passed/failed counts:
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/assert.js --checks '[
{"kind": "url_contains", "text": "/dashboard"},
{"kind": "selector_visible", "selector": "#user-menu"},
{"kind": "no_console_errors"},
{"kind": "no_failed_requests"},
{"kind": "element_count", "selector": ".notification", "op": "==", "count": 0}
]'Notes and limitations
- Console/network buffers are session-scoped in Vibium. If they're empty, the check passes by default with a
notefield in the result. This is conservative. If you need hard guarantees, usevibium console --jsonandvibium network --jsonyourself before callingassert. - Regex patterns are JS-style (not POSIX). Escape backslashes in JSON:
\\d+,\\s+. - All selectors go through `document.querySelector` / `querySelectorAll`. No XPath (use Vibium's native
vibium find xpathfor that). - Checks run in the page context via
vibium eval --stdin. They cannot see cross-origin iframe content unless you switch frames first viavibium select-frame.
Migrating from Playwright to qe-browser
Short recipe for porting existing Playwright tests (or Playwright-style snippets in QE skills) to the qe-browser + Vibium pipeline.
TL;DR table
| Playwright | qe-browser / Vibium |
|---|---|
await page.goto(url) | vibium go <url> |
await page.click(sel) | vibium click "<sel>" |
await page.click(ref) (from page.locator) | vibium click @e1 (from vibium map) |
await page.fill(sel, text) | vibium fill "<sel>" "<text>" |
await page.type(sel, text) | vibium type "<sel>" "<text>" |
await page.press(key) | vibium press <key> |
await page.hover(sel) | vibium hover "<sel>" |
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'X' }) | vibium find role button --name "X" |
await page.getByLabel('Email') | vibium find label "Email" |
await page.getByPlaceholder('Search') | vibium find placeholder "Search" |
await page.getByTestId('submit') | vibium find testid "submit" |
await page.getByText('Sign In') | vibium find text "Sign In" |
await page.waitForURL(pattern) | vibium wait url "<pattern>" |
await page.waitForSelector(sel) | vibium wait "<sel>" |
await page.waitForLoadState('networkidle') | vibium wait load |
await page.screenshot({ path }) | vibium screenshot -o <path> |
await page.pdf({ path }) | vibium pdf -o <path> |
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/dashboard/) | assert.js: {"kind": "url_contains", "text": "dashboard"} |
await expect(page.locator(sel)).toBeVisible() | assert.js: {"kind": "selector_visible", "selector": "<sel>"} |
await expect(page.locator(sel)).toHaveText(txt) | assert.js: {"kind": "text_visible", "text": "<txt>"} |
await expect(page.locator(sel)).toHaveValue(v) | assert.js: {"kind": "value_equals", "selector": "<sel>", "value": "<v>"} |
await page.evaluate(fn) | vibium eval 'expr' or vibium eval --stdin <<'EOF' ... EOF |
await context.storageState({ path }) | vibium storage -o <path> |
await context.addCookies(...) + manual state | vibium storage restore <path> |
await page.setViewportSize(...) | vibium viewport <w> <h> |
Playwright test.use({ video: 'on' }) | vibium record start --screenshots then vibium record stop -o evidence.zip |
await page.route(url, handler) | Vibium does NOT currently ship network mocking — use a HTTP proxy or stub server |
Worked example: login flow
Before — Playwright
import { test, expect } from '@playwright/test';
test('login flow', async ({ page }) => {
await page.goto('https://app.example.com/login');
await page.getByLabel('Email').fill('user@test.com');
await page.getByLabel('Password').fill('secret');
await page.getByRole('button', { name: 'Sign In' }).click();
await expect(page).toHaveURL(/\/dashboard/);
await expect(page.getByTestId('user-menu')).toBeVisible();
});After — qe-browser + Vibium

]'Gotchas you'll hit during migration (verified 2026-04-09 against Vibium v26.3.18)
These are the things that bit me when I ran the qe-browser smoke test against a real Vibium install for the first time. Save yourself some time:
1. Vibium defaults to "visible browser" — fails in headless containers
Running vibium go https://example.com on a CI container or codespace without --headless produces:
ERROR:ui/ozone/platform/x11/ozone_platform_x11.cc:256] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.The qe-browser helper scripts (assert.js, batch.js, visual-diff.js, check-injection.js, intent-score.js) automatically inject --headless for you. If you call vibium directly, pass it yourself:
vibium --headless go https://example.comOpt out for interactive debugging via QE_BROWSER_HEADED=1.
2. vibium screenshot -o <abs/path> ignores the directory
vibium screenshot -o /tmp/foo.png saves to ~/Pictures/Vibium/foo.png, NOT /tmp/foo.png. Only the basename is honored. The qe-browser visual-diff.js works around this — if you write your own script that calls vibium screenshot, expect to read from ~/Pictures/Vibium/<basename> and copy to wherever you actually want the file.
3. vibium screenshot --selector flag does NOT exist in v26.3.x
Scoped-region screenshots are not supported. The qe-browser visual-diff.js throws a clear error if you pass --selector. To capture a region, take a full-page screenshot and crop it externally with ImageMagick:
convert /tmp/full.png -crop 400x300+100+200 /tmp/region.png4. vibium eval --stdin --json returns the LAST EXPRESSION value, not console.log output
Vibium's eval contract:
- Input: a JS expression
- Output (with
--json):{"ok":true,"result":"<stringified value>"}
The result field is a STRING when the expression returned a string, or a Go-side serialization of the BiDi RemoteValue map type when it returned an object directly. Always wrap your return value in JSON.stringify(...) and parse the result string back into an object on the Node side. The qe-browser lib/vibium.js unwrapEvalResult() does this for you.
5. Linux ARM64 — Vibium has no Chrome to download
Google Chrome for Testing does not publish a linux-arm64 build. Vibium's vibium install falls back to chrome-linux64 (x86_64), which fails under Rosetta on Apple Silicon Linux containers with failed to open elf at /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2.
Workaround (verified on Debian bookworm aarch64):
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install -y chromium chromium-driver
for dir in ~/.cache/vibium/chrome-for-testing/*/; do
if [ -e "$dir/chromedriver" ]; then
rm -f "$dir/chromedriver" "$dir/chrome"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromedriver "$dir/chromedriver"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromium "$dir/chrome"
fi
if [ -e "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver" ]; then
rm -f "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver" "$dir/chrome-linux64/chrome"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromedriver "$dir/chromedriver-linux64/chromedriver"
ln -s /usr/bin/chromium "$dir/chrome-linux64/chrome"
fi
done
vibium --headless go https://httpbin.org/html # should succeedWhen Vibium adds a --browser-path flag or Google ships linux-arm64 Chrome for Testing, this workaround becomes obsolete.
6. Visual-diff baselines need an explicit viewport for determinism
vibium headless picks a varying window size between runs (765×672 vs 780×654 observed on httpbin.org/html). Pixel-diff against a baseline will fail spuriously unless you set the viewport explicitly first:
vibium --headless viewport 1280 720
vibium --headless go https://example.com
node .claude/skills/qe-browser/scripts/visual-diff.js --name homepageThe qe-browser smoke-test.sh does this for tc006/tc007. Build the same pattern into your own baseline workflows.
7. npm install -g vibium can take 1–3 minutes on a cold cache
Vibium downloads Chrome for Testing on first install. The synchronous spawn in aqe init phase 09 logs a "this can take 1–3 minutes" pre-spawn banner, but if you call npm install -g vibium directly you'll see no output for the duration. Don't Ctrl-C.
Things Vibium does BETTER than Playwright
- Semantic find as first-class CLI verbs:
vibium find label|placeholder|testid|role|text|alt|title|xpath. No need to chain locator builders. - `vibium diff map` gives you a differential of what changed since the last
mapcall — no equivalent in Playwright. - `vibium record` produces a ZIP of screenshots + DOM snapshots — lighter than Playwright's
.trace.zip. - `vibium a11y-tree` returns the accessibility tree without visual rendering — faster than axe-core for structure-only checks.
Things Playwright still does better
- Network mocking / interception (
page.route). Vibium has no equivalent today — use a real HTTP stub server. - Tracing with waterfall UI. Vibium's record ZIP is enough for evidence but not a replacement for Playwright Trace Viewer.
- Multi-browser parity out of the box. Vibium targets Chrome/Chromium via WebDriver BiDi; Firefox/Safari BiDi support is landing but not yet at parity with Playwright's built-in cross-browser test matrix.
When to keep Playwright
If a QE skill needs any of these, keep using Playwright for that specific skill:
1. Deep network interception / request modification 2. Cross-browser contract testing across all three major engines today 3. Codegen from interactive recording (Playwright npx playwright codegen) 4. Rich trace viewer with network/DOM/action timeline (though vibium record ZIPs + our assert.js results cover the essentials)
For everything else — navigate, map, interact, assert, screenshot, capture, record, scan for injections — use qe-browser.

# qe-browser smoke test (bash mirror of evals/qe-browser.yaml)
#
# Runs each helper script against pinned public fixtures (httpbin.org) and
# verifies the output structure. Gates PR-reopen per ADR-091 Phase 3.
#
# RELATIONSHIP TO evals/qe-browser.yaml
# -------------------------------------
# The canonical spec is `.claude/skills/qe-browser/evals/qe-browser.yaml`.
# It is executed by `aqe eval run --skill qe-browser` via CommandEvalRunner
# (src/validation/command-eval-runner.ts). The CI workflow runs it in the
# "eval" job once the dist is built.
#
# This bash script mirrors the same test cases (tc001–tc011) so you can
# run them without building the AQE CLI — useful during local skill
# development and the initial smoke gate in CI (before the build finishes).
# It also covers one case the yaml can't express naturally:
# - tc011 F1 contract: vibium-missing -> skipped envelope + exit 2
# (uses `env -i PATH=<fake-bin>` isolation, which is clumsy in yaml)
#
# Exit codes:
# 0 — all smoke tests passed
# 1 — at least one smoke test failed
# 2 — vibium binary not on PATH (precondition unmet)
#
# Per feedback_no_unverified_failure_modes.md, this is the script we
# actually run, not just write. Per feedback_synthetic_fixtures_dont_count,
# all fixtures are pinned public endpoints (httpbin.org) — no synthetic
# stubs, no inline HTML.

// qe-browser: visual regression against stored PNG baselines.

// Usage:
// node visual-diff.js --name homepage
// node visual-diff.js --name homepage --threshold 0.02
// node visual-diff.js --name hero --selector "#hero" # not supported in v26.3.x
// node visual-diff.js --name homepage --update-baseline
//
// THRESHOLD SEMANTICS (M1 — devil's-advocate finding):
// --threshold is the MAX FRACTION of pixels allowed to differ before the
// check fails. The default is 0.10 (10% of pixels may differ).
// - threshold 0.00 → require pixel-perfect match
// - threshold 0.02 → allow up to 2% pixel difference
// - threshold 0.50 → allow up to 50% pixel difference (very lax)
// Internally we compute `similarity = 1 - diffPixels / totalPixels` and
// pass when `similarity >= 1 - threshold`. This is the standard convention
// used by Playwright's `maxDiffPixelRatio` and BackstopJS.
//
// Baselines live in .aqe/visual-baselines/<sanitized-name>.png
// Diff images (if pixelmatch available) go to .aqe/visual-baselines/<name>.diff.png
