# WebWorld: The Browser as a World Model for Self-Improving Web Code

> Uses typed browser interaction contracts to check progress and preserve previously verified capabilities while improving generated web code. Only accepted transitions become training examples.

## Scope and limitations

The study concerns web-code generation and self-improvement, not recovery of original source code. Acceptance covers declared interactions and preserved capabilities, not equivalence to an arbitrary original application. Distinct from the other WebWorld web-simulator paper.

## Why it fits this collection

A supporting validation method for reconstructed web interfaces: test executable behavior and regressions instead of relying on visual similarity alone.

## Publication and review notes

This record describes the original arXiv edition. Supporting method.
