refactor(gem-browser-tester): simplify role definition and workflow
Streamline agent specification by clarifying role, trimming expertise, and restructuring workflow. Key changes: - Role: Emphasize E2E testing and explicit non-implementation stance - Workflow: Formalize "Observation-First" pattern (Navigate → Snapshot → Action), mandate accessibility snapshots over screenshots, define precise evidence/log storage paths - Input: Switch from YAML to JSON format for consistency - Remove verbose operating rules and reflection memory sections This update enforces stricter, more reliable browser automation practices and standardizes agent I/O.
