  # actionbook Command Reference

  Complete reference for all `actionbook` CLI commands.

  Every browser command requires `--session <SID>`. Most also require `--tab
  <TID>`.

  Session-level commands (start, close, restart, status, list-sessions) need
  only `--session` or nothing.

  Session IDs accept lowercase letters, digits, hyphens, and underscores (e.g.,
  `s1`, `my-session`, `task_01`).

  Selectors accept CSS, XPath, or snapshot refs (`@eN` from `snapshot` output).

  ## Global Flags

  ```

  --json            Output as JSON envelope

  --timeout <ms>    Command timeout in milliseconds
