2026-04-02: LIMITATION: browserstack-local creates tunnels that expose local network resources to BrowserStack infrastructure — meaningful network security consideration for enterprise.

Things to check

Requires active BrowserStack subscription and credentials; test execution latency depends on BrowserStack queue load. Natural language test case generation may need refinement for complex assertions.
