A rabbit clicks through states at night

Short bodies wait for one retry, too
The browser gathers what it can

Opt-in interactive headless mode explores clickable UI states depth-first, then continues the ordinary headless URL crawl. Adds complete JavaScript response capture (including post-click chunks) with manifest metadata and optional nested-import discovery.

- Around line 35-36: Move the ScriptOutputDir validation in the options
validation flow after the headless-mode assignments for auto-login and
recorded-flow. Ensure those options set Headless before the check runs, so
script output does not require a separate headless flag.
- Around line 23-33: Thread the validated interactive settings from
validateOptions through headless.Crawl and crawler.New into
browser.LauncherOptions, including the configured limits and selectors. Add the
production interactive exploration loop to invoke the element-query helpers,
perform clicks, and restore state so valid -interactive runs use these settings
instead of ordinary crawling alone.
Review comments at @pkg/engine/headless/browser/browser.go:
- Around line 461-463: Resolve the undefined `applyBrowserHeaders` and
`js.InitJavascriptEnvWithHooks` references in the browser setup flow by
implementing the missing helpers or adapting the calls to existing APIs;
preserve custom-header and cookie application as well as JavaScript
initialization and interactive behavior.
- Around line 63-69: Wire script capture into the CLI headless crawl lifecycle:
create an assets.Store when script output is enabled, pass its Save method
through LauncherOptions.ScriptCallback, drain discovery output, and close the
store so the manifest and discovery results are finalized. Preserve the existing
behavior when script output is not enabled.

Wire -interactive into the production crawl.
When -interactive passes validation, validateOptions only forces Headless. headless.Crawl then calls crawler.New(crawlOpts) without interactive settings, and the crawler constructs browser.LauncherOptions without Interactive. The production crawler also never invokes the new element-query helpers or performs state restoration. Therefore, a valid -interactive run performs only ordinary crawling; its limits, selectors, clicking, and state exploration have no effect. Thread the interactive settings through the crawler and add the production exploration loop.

Define the missing browser helpers before calling them.
browser.go calls applyBrowserHeaders and js.InitJavascriptEnvWithHooks, but neither function is declared in the repository. The js package only provides InitJavascriptEnv. These unresolved identifiers prevent the headless browser package from compiling. Add the required implementations or update the call sites to existing APIs while preserving the header and interactive behavior.

Restore dropped helpers and production wiring so -interactive and -script-output-dir actually work: applyBrowserHeaders, InitJavascriptEnvWithHooks, interactive explorer, script discovery drain/Close, and ScriptOutputDir validation after auto-headless.

Stop applying non-cookie -H values via page-wide SetExtraHeaders, which leaked Authorization and similar headers to third-party subresources. Cookies stay jar-scoped via SetCookies; other headers are injected only on Fetch request-stage pauses that pass ScopeValidator (CookieURL host fallback). Interactive exploration now treats ordinary popup failures as non-fatal so one broken window.open cannot abort the whole UI crawl.

- Line 501: Update the popup flow around exploreOpenedPage and AdoptPopup to
enable Fetch interception or pause navigation before the popup’s first request
proceeds; preserve interception for the initial request so scoped headers and
script responses are captured.

- Line 65: Require HTTPS before attaching configured Authorization or other
custom credential headers in the request-stage handler; do not rely on
validate(reqURL) or hostname-based scope approval to establish transport
security. Preserve existing scope validation, but ensure HTTP requests never
receive these credentials.
- Line 79: Update sameHostname to compare the origin’s scheme, hostname, and
port, and ensure continueWithScopedHeaders attaches credential-bearing headers
only when that full origin matches.
