Workflow Engine Extensions, Agent Tools, and a Refreshed Chat UI

### **Workflow Engine Extensions, Agent Tools, and a Refreshed Chat UI**

The March 22 update focuses on a major expansion of the **workflow step type system**, the introduction of a new **agent tool for autonomous workflow construction**, and a significant **visual overhaul of the chat interface**.

**Key highlights of this update include:**

* **Advanced Workflow Step Types:** The engine now supports **`http_request`** for fetching URLs, **`eval`** for running JavaScript expressions, **`extract_structured`** for complex data parsing, and **`parallel`** execution for running multiple step branches concurrently.
* **The `workflow_build` Agent Tool:** This new tool enables the AI to **construct `.workflow.json` files directly from live browser interactions**, allowing it to create, inspect, and test reusable automation scripts autonomously.
* **Refreshed Chat UI:** The dashboard chat has replaced bulky pill-style tool cards with **compact inline tool lines** that show humanized names and parameter summaries. Additionally, the **Agent Workspace** (containing tasks and checks) is now hidden by default and can be toggled to provide a cleaner conversation view.
* **Robust Interaction Capabilities:** A new **`forceNativeTyping`** option bypasses traditional bridge methods to use **native keyboard events** via `robotjs`, supported by a cross-platform **`activateBrowser()`** helper to ensure the target window is focused before input.
* **Improved Element Targeting:** The Chrome extension now **prefers visible elements** during clicks and supports new actions like **`hover_element`** for triggering submenus and **`evaluate`** for running arbitrary JavaScript in the page context.
* **Developer Experience:** The update introduces **`folder-select`** input controls for pipeline variables and comprehensive new documentation, including a **Workflow Authoring Guide** and an **ARIA Targeting Reference**.

Would you like me to create a detailed tailored report summarizing these new workflow step types and how to use them?
