#588 ba9efc5 Thanks @sameelarif! - Added support for offloading agent tasks to the API.
#600 11e015d Thanks @sameelarif! - Added a stagehand.history array which stores an array of act, extract, observe, and goto calls made. Since this history array is stored on the StagehandPage level, it will capture methods even if indirectly called by an agent.
#601 1d22604 Thanks @seanmcguire12! - add custom error classes
#599 75d8fb3 Thanks @miguelg719! - cleaner logging with pino

#617 affa564 Thanks @seanmcguire12! - use a11y tree for default extract
#589 0c4b1e7 Thanks @miguelg719! - Added CDP support for screenshots, find more about the benefits here:
#518 516725f Thanks @sameelarif! - act() can now use observe() under the hood, resulting in significant performance improvements. To opt-in to this change, set slowDomBasedAct: false in ActOptions.
#483 8c9445f Thanks @seanmcguire12! - When using textExtract, you can now do targetted extraction by passing an xpath string into extract via the selector parameter. This limits the dom processing step to a target element, reducing tokens and increasing speed. For example:
const weatherData = await stagehand.page.extract({
instruction: "extract the weather data for Sun, Feb 23 at 11PM",
schema: z.object({
temperature: z.string(),
weather_description: z.
