 4. Every `page.classify()` MUST have an `else` branch that calls `await page.element_fallback(navigation_goal="...")`.
 5. Add `text_patterns` derived from the page text in the episode data below. **NEVER include PII in text_patterns** — no email addresses, no personal names, no account numbers, no customer-specific identifiers. Use generic page structure indicators instead (form labels, button text, section headings, navigation links). Wrong: `"Welcome John Smith, user@example.com, Billing & Payments"`. Right: `"Welcome, Billing & Payments, Sign in, Logout"`.
 6. Keep classify option descriptions short (< 10 words) and mutually exclusive.
+6b. **Classify branch hygiene**:
+    - **Don't add** a branch whose actions (fills, clicks, selectors) duplicate an existing branch — unless it has **distinct `text_patterns`** that improve page detection.
+    - Branches with empty or `"N/A"` text_patterns that duplicate another branch's actions are redundant. The page is the same variant — investigate root cause (timing, page load) instead.
+    - **Consolidate**: if you see multiple existing branches with identical actions and empty/`"N/A"` text_patterns, merge them into one and remove the duplicates.
 7. **SEMANTIC SELECTORS**: Use `ai='fallback'` with label-based selectors — NEVER copy xpaths from other branches. Build selectors using `:has-text()` (case-insensitive substring match). Examples: `selector='label:has-text("Full name") input'`, `selector='button:has-text("Submit")'`. If no semantic selector is possible (complex widgets), use `ai='fallback'` with only a `prompt=`.
 8. **SELECTOR MANAGEMENT**:
     a. **Accumulate across variants**: When different page variants use different labels for the same field, use comma-separated CSS selectors: `selector='label:has-text("Website") input, label:has-text("URL") input'`. The first match wins.
