universal_automation_interface

Pure-Dart contracts for the universal automation family: endpoints, session handles, drivers, actions, snapshots, fail-closed specs, and structured events. No Flutter, no protocol clients.

Part of the universal_automation_* family (ADR 0037):

• universal_browser_cdp — Chrome DevTools Protocol client.
• universal_browser_webdriver — W3C WebDriver client (Safari via safaridriver).
• universal_screencast — declarative frame pipeline.
• universal_automation_conformance — swappability suites.

What this package fixes

• One vocabulary for the observe/act/verify loop across protocols (AutomationDriver, AutomationAction, Snapshot).
• Session-handle naming shared with oka (session-<name>-handle), so handles published by oka's session targets are consumed verbatim.
• Fail-closed composition types (TypedSpec, SessionDescriptor): invariants are validated before anything runs.
• Structured, payload-free events agents can classify (FrameDelivered, SinkDegraded, PipelineFailed).
• Ownership vocabulary (StartMode, LeaseOwnership) mirroring oka's process leases — borrowed sessions are reported, never stopped.

Usage

import 'package:universal_automation_interface/universal_automation_interface.dart';

final endpoint = AutomationEndpoint(
  transport: AutomationTransport.cdp,
  uri: Uri.parse('http://127.0.0.1:9222'),
);

// oka-published handle for the same session:
final handle = SessionHandles.handle('chrome'); // session-chrome-handle
final cdpPort = SessionHandles.sub('chrome', 'cdp-port');

Non-claims

• This package performs no I/O and attaches to nothing.
• It is not the oka lifecycle layer and never spawns or stops processes.
