Runbook 16 — Locator intelligence agent

This preview outlines the capability introduced by this runbook and the role it plays in the larger automation system.

What this runbook does

Locator instability is a primary cause of test flakiness and maintenance cost. This runbook defines a deterministic system for generating, ranking, and validating locators using accessibility semantics and explicit risk modeling.

• Locator recommendations are derived from the accessibility tree
• Stability is enforced through a priority and risk model
• Ambiguity is surfaced early instead of patched later

What it proves

Locator strategy can be systematized—eliminating a major source of flakiness while improving consistency and scalability.

The full runbook includes the locator intelligence process, output schema, ranking model, and framework integration patterns for enforcing stable UI interaction.
