Property Overview, Amenities & Floor Plans — The Circle at Hermann Park

Purpose

Extract a complete read-only property overview for The Circle at Hermann Park (3 Hermann Museum Cir Dr, Houston, TX 77004): the building/community amenities, the in-apartment amenities, the surrounding neighborhood amenities, and every floor plan listed on the site — including each plan's code, bedrooms, bathrooms, square footage, starting price, available-unit count, and availability status (Available Now / Inquire / Call / Waitlist). The site is a RentCafe-powered property page sitting behind Cloudflare's bot-challenge, so this skill is browser-driven with stealth turned on.

When to Use

• A user asks for a high-level "tell me about this apartment building" digest of The Circle at Hermann Park.
• A user wants the current published rent / square footage / unit count for any specific floor plan at the property.
• A user wants to compare community amenities (pools, gym, garage, concierge, etc.) against in-unit amenities (granite, washer/dryer, walk-in closets, etc.).
• A user is researching the Hermann Park / Museum District neighborhood (Houston, TX 77004) as a relocation target and wants the bordering landmarks, schools, dining, and transit options the property advertises.

Workflow

1. Spin up a Browserbase session with stealth ON. The homepage and every RentCafe-rendered subpath sit behind Cloudflare's interactive challenge (cf_chl_opt, Cf-Mitigated: challenge). Bare browse cloud fetch returns HTTP 403/500 with a "Just a moment…" interstitial. Always create the session with browse cloud sessions create --keep-alive --proxies --verified.
2. Navigate to https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/ (the canonical hostname — note the www. is mandatory; the apex returns connect-time TLS errors). Wait ~5 s for Cloudflare to clear. The homepage carries the property name, the leasing phone (855) 391-7677, and the address 3 Hermann Museum Cir Dr, Houston, TX 77004.
3. Navigate to https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/amenities.aspx and scrape the two sibling sections: Community Amenities and Apartment Amenities. A browse get text body is the cleanest grab — both lists are flat <li> rollups, no JS-gated expansion needed once the page is past the challenge. The * suffix in any amenity name means "select units only".
4. Navigate to https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/1/floorplans.aspx (the RentCafe-powered floor plans grid; note the /1/ path prefix). Wait ~3 s and take a browse snapshot. Each plan card emits a deterministic node group in document order:

   div
     StaticText "<beds> Bed - <baths> Bath"  | "Studio"
     StaticText "|"
     StaticText "<sqft>"                       (may be empty, or prefixed with "Up to ")
     StaticText "sq.ft."
   heading: <plan_code>                        ← e.g. arA10, arA10.P6, arB5.P8, arS2.P6
   link:    <plan_code> floorplan overview
   image
   <price block>:
       StaticText "Starting at"
       StaticText "$1,425.00"
       superscript "/"
     StaticText "<N> Available Now"
     link    "View Details"
   OR (no current availability):
     StaticText "Inquire for details" | "Call for details" | "Waitlist"
     button   "Contact"
   

   Bind the spec-block (Bed/Bath/sqft) to the heading that follows it, NOT the one that precedes it — this is the single most common parsing bug for this page. See gotchas.
5. (Optional) Confirm unit-level availability at https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/1/availableunits.aspx — this lists individual unit numbers with their own per-unit price, term, and move-in date. Useful when the floor plan card shows "N Available Now" but the user wants to see the actual unit grid.
6. Read-only — do not click "View Details" / "Contact" / "Schedule a Tour" / "Apply Now". Those routes are leasing-funnel CTAs and they spin up an applicant-account flow. Stop at the plan card.

Browser session config (mandatory)

Site-Specific Gotchas

• www. is mandatory. Direct connections to https://thecircleathermannpark.com/ (apex, no www) terminate at TLS with Client network socket disconnected (this is what the host pre-run antibot probe observed). Use https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/ everywhere.
• Cloudflare bot challenge is universal across the site. Every navigation including the RentCafe /1/*.aspx paths is gated by cf_chl_opt. Allow ~5 s wait after browse open before snapshot. browse cloud fetch with or without --proxies returns the "Just a moment…" interstitial HTML, not the real page.
• Plan code naming convention. arA* = one-bedroom, arB* = two-bedroom, arC* = three-bedroom, arS* = studio. The .P6 and .P8 suffixes are floor / building-wing variants (e.g. arA10, arA10.P6, arA10.P8 are three views of the same base layout). A single base code can appear with all three variants and each variant has its own availability, so do not dedupe by base code.
• Spec block (Bed/Bath/sqft) is rendered BEFORE its plan's heading in document order, not after. Easy to misattribute to the previous card. The correct rule: the spec block immediately preceding heading: <plan_code> belongs to that plan code. Confirmed against the rendered DOM in iter 1 — autobrowse's first-pass extraction got this wrong on the cards it summarized aloud.
• Empty sqft fields are real, not parser failures. Several variants (e.g. arA10, arA13.P8, arB6.P8, arC4.P8) intentionally publish no square footage; the page shows | sq.ft. with no number between the pipe and the unit. Encode as null, not 0.
• "Up to" prefix changes the semantic. Two-bedroom code arB5 and studio variant arB5.P8 advertise Up to 1,236 and Up to 1,200 sq.ft. respectively — these are upper bounds, not exact figures. Preserve the Up to prefix when surfacing the value to the user.
• Studios under a 2BR base code are real. arB5.P8 is listed as Studio at "Up to 1,200 sq.ft." even though every other arB5* variant is 2BR. Don't infer beds from the base letter — always read the rendered spec.
• Pricing is shown ONLY for plans that have inventory. Plans with Inquire for details or Call for details have no Starting at $… line at all; reporting them as $0 or null is correct but make sure the availability field carries the human-readable status word.
• Unit count appears as a free StaticText between the price block and the View Details link (e.g. 10 Available Now). It is not inside the price div. Parsers that read only the price div will miss it.
• No native API. The site is plain ASP.NET (.aspx) + RentCafe; there is no public JSON endpoint exposing plans/availability. Don't waste a turn looking for one. The RentCafe internal availableunits.aspx?floorPlans={id}&myOlePropertyId=527702 URL leaks the underlying property id (527702) and plan id (e.g. 2127833 for one of the studios) but those routes are equally Cloudflare-gated and still return HTML, not JSON.
• Don't pre-emptively click "Apartment Amenities" or "Community Amenities" filter tabs on the amenities page. Both lists are already in the DOM; clicking the filter only re-orders them. A single browse get text body after page load returns both.
• Phone, deposit, lease term are not surfaced on the floor plans page. Leasing phone (855) 391-7677 is in the page header banner across the site. Deposit and lease term only appear behind the "Apply Now" funnel — out of scope for read-only extraction.

Expected Output

Return a single JSON object. Empty / unknown values are explicit nulls, never omitted keys.

Outcome shapes

• success: true + populated floor_plans array — happy path, what every successful run looks like.
• success: false + error_reasoning: "cloudflare-challenge-not-cleared" — session was launched without --verified and/or --proxies, page returned the "Just a moment…" interstitial. Re-run with both stealth flags.
• success: false + error_reasoning: "tls-handshake-failed" — caller used the apex thecircleathermannpark.com (no www). Retry against https://www.thecircleathermannpark.com/.
• success: true with currently_available_plans: 0 — leasing inventory genuinely empty (every plan card shows "Inquire" / "Call" / "Waitlist"). The amenity arrays and plan metadata are still populated; only the pricing/units fields are uniformly null.
