Theseus

The exploration engine of Ariane. Theseus inspects real software, discovers distinct UI states, and records the transitions that connect them.

Exploration Logic

Theseus Overview

The high-level architecture: separating platform-agnostic logic from specific drivers to build a consistent graph.

View Architecture

The core loop: Action Selection, Traversal Strategy (DFS), and Safety Management to map the UI without breaking it.

View Engine Logic

Mechanics

State Identification

How Theseus decides "Where am I?" using structural, visual, and semantic fingerprints.
