Fix status: documented_behavior Limitations: - Source is the published browser-use 0.13.10 wheel from PyPI; behaviour may differ in other versions. - Not reproduced in this session. Unknowns: - Whether Agent-level settings expose nav_timeout for the built-in navigate action. Other error fragments: - Navigation failed: Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor): - https://files.pythonhosted.org/packages/1e/8f/51217ec63b3872fcc2cfd463f6501727e8f0dedfb33e4598a5e86ce66702/browser_use-0.13.10-py3-none-any.whl#browser_use/browser/session.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Navigation wraps Page.navigate with nav_timeout defaulting to 20.0 s and raises the quoted RuntimeError; errorText yields 'Navigation failed'.
