ASN Review Node
Reviewed actionability-based waiting for observable readiness, condition assertions and avoidance of arbitrary delays.
Some background tasks expose no reliable UI readiness signal.

Wait for browser actionability instead of arbitrary sleeps
Fixed sleeps make browser automation slow and flaky because the page may be ready earlier or later than the chosen delay.
Current Best
Prefer browser actions that wait for element visibility, stability, enabled state and ability to receive events. Use condition-based assertions for asynchronous page state. Reserve fixed sleeps for cases where elapsed time itself is the behavior under test. Surface readiness failures rather than masking them with progressively longer delays.
