Where automation stops, and why the buy click stays yours.
What it's for
This is the promise the whole product rests on, stated plainly enough that you can hold Umbra to it: Umbra never auto-buys. Managed automation stops at hygiene, autofill and navigation; the committing action — the click that spends your money — is always yours. This page is where that line is spelled out, and where the code that keeps it honest is named.
The line
The single sentence, carried verbatim across every automation surface and every doc that touches one:
Umbra never auto-buys. Managed automation stops at hygiene + fill + navigate; the committing action is the human's.
Everything Umbra drives on your behalf — the site helpers, the checkout finisher, Mirror, scheduled and broadcast runs — is bound by it.
Where the automation stops
Hygiene
Declines paid add-ons and insurance, and dismisses cookie and consent overlays, clearing the busywork out of a fast cart. It closes a modal by the modal's own dismiss control, scoped so it can never reach a page-level buy button.
Autofill
Puts your saved details into the fields. Filling is preparation — it fills a box, it commits nothing.
Navigate
Opens the page you pointed it at. Nothing more.
Never
Presses buy, checkout, place order, continue-to-pay, or any other transacting control. That press is yours, on every Account.
Routines can't reach a checkout
A Routine is not a script. It's a closed set of seven steps — navigate, fill, read, wait and notify, plus a CSV-row loop and an if-element branch — with no click step in the grammar at all. There is nothing in the type that can activate a control, so "a routine cannot press a button" holds by construction, checked by the compiler rather than by a scanner that something could slip past.
Commit assist points, it doesn't press
On a live Session, commit assist can ring the button you're racing to find — but ringing is all it does.
The one thing it does tick for you
Honesty cuts both ways, so this belongs on the same page: Umbra does tick the required terms box for you, by default.
