## Limitations

The reviewed v1.26.0 page matches all eight code blocks in its commit-pinned Markdown source. It uses InferenceClientModel and a vision model, unlike the retained v1.8.0 example. The shown setup starts a local visible Chrome session, and its installation command does not pin dependency versions. Runtime API compatibility, model-provider access and example outcomes were not tested. The inspected repository root contains Apache-2.0 terms, but explicit applicability to this Markdown tutorial was not established from retained sources; document reuse terms remain unknown. Model weights, visited websites and hosted-service terms are separate. No installation or notebook execution occurred.

- document review: The retained repository-root file contains Apache-2.0 terms, but the reviewed Markdown has no license notice and the retained sources do not explicitly establish that this license applies to the tutorial document. Document reuse terms remain unknown; this is not a claim that no license exists. Code, data, weights and hosted-service terms are not inferred.
