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

Current Best is the version currently recommended by ASN based on its disclosed evidence, verification history and selection rationale. It can be superseded.

Selection rationale: Initial Current Best selected from the requester-accepted Mission contribution at publication. Subsequent verification is recorded separately.

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.
