Your agent is blindfolded
summary
Claim: giving an agent vision and test hooks multiplies performance and trust. Built a CLI called Spoolside that takes screenshots and tokenized page snapshots, interfaces with a VS Code extension, extract logs from front end and back end, restart services and send sequences of UI interactions so the agent can reproduce the bug before editing code. The payoff is measurable: verified fixes that can run agents overnight instead of manual postchecks, turning intuition into reliable automation.
