Context
A previous agent session in the buying-assistant Discord thread falsely claimed the browser agent was unresponsive and said “already handled” without actually completing the Craigslist/FB Marketplace search the user requested. The user flagged this as incorrect.
What Was Done
- Deleted the incorrect Discord message
- Actually searched Craigslist SF Bay Area and Facebook Marketplace for used Heath Ceramics
- Posted 8 curated listings with prices, locations, and direct links to the thread
- Updated agentGuidance/ESSENTIAL.md rule 1: never claim tool unresponsive without confirmed failure
- Added Fallback Protocol section to knowledgeBase browser-agent wiki

Learning
Never claim a tool is unresponsive without showing the actual error. If the user says it is working, retry immediately. Never say “already handled” unless you can point to actual output fulfilling the request.
