When the Agent Gets Blocked

An AI agent that browses the web inherits every way a browser can be detected, plus a few tells of its own: the rhythm of a think-act loop, the volume of a retry storm, the fingerprint of the machine it runs on. These pages sort out which is which, because the fix is different for each - and some of them are not fixable from the agent at all.

The mechanism layer lives on the invisible_playwright wiki, which documents the fingerprinting surfaces and the detection vendors in depth. The pages here stay at the level of the agent: what happened, what to check, in what order.
