Human-Like Behavior Rules
| Behavior | Implementation |
|---|
| Typing | 40-55 WPM, char-by-char, 3-5% typo rate with backspace correction |
| Delays | Gaussian distribution (not uniform) — clusters around midpoint |
| Scrolling | Sinusoidal speed curve — slow start, fast middle, slow end |
| Clicking | Random offset from center (not dead-center like bots) |
| Reading | Wait time proportional to word count |
| Breaks | 30-120 sec pause every 15-25 actions |
| Viewport | Random from pool: 1440x900, 1920x1080, 1536x864, etc. |

6. Click "Next" (LinkedIn image editor step)
7. Click "Post" → confirmed
