Workflow engines and visual automation
How visual blocks, recording, scheduling, OCR and visual verification map into one Operation Graph.
Automa
Automa demonstrates visual workflow composition, reusable blocks, variables, scheduling and exportable automations. Torsionfield should not embed a second workflow runtime; blocks compile into the canonical Operation Graph used by userscripts and endpoints.
UI.Vision and visual automation
Recording, OCR, image matching, visual assertions and Selenium-compatible exchange matter when DOM selectors are absent, unstable or deliberately obscured. Visual action remains an escalation path, not a reason to discard DOM and accessibility evidence.
Compilation model
Recorder events → normalized action + target evidence → Operation Graph nodes and postconditions ├─ visual workflow projection ├─ userscript compiler └─ endpoint / agent tool compiler
Required block families
- Navigate, wait, select, read, fill, click, upload and extract.
- Branch, loop, parallel, retry, deadline and cancellation.
- Provider prompt, local command, MCP call and peer invocation.
- Human selection, permission decision and verification gate.
- Artifact capture, Web Capsule and result publication.
