  "how": {
    "incantation": "When testing a page interaction, wait for the confirmation text to become visible. Call `wait_for` with `visible: true`, a non-empty `text` list, and the target `pageId`.",
    "examples": [
      "wait_for({pageId:<pageId>,text:[\"Saved successfully\"],visible:true,timeout:5000})"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: 1.12.0",
      "pageId (required): Page ID to target.",
      "text (required): Non-empty list of strings; resolves when any listed text appears.",
      "visible: When true, wait until matching text is visible; otherwise hidden text also counts.",
      "timeout: Maximum wait in milliseconds; 0 uses the default timeout.",
      "Prerequisite: Chrome DevTools MCP requires Node.js LTS, npm, and current stable Chrome or newer.",
      "Visible-text matching is opt-in.",
      "By default, hidden text also counts.",
      "Docs conflict: The release-note example omits `pageId`, but the v1.12.0 tool reference marks it required."
    ]
  },
  "why_it_matters": "Wait for a visible confirmation message while testing a page interaction.",
  "before": "Before this change, `wait_for` could resolve on text in the DOM even when it was hidden; the prior behavior remains when `visible` is omitted or false.",
