Control endpoint
The proxy exposes /__control for programmatic mode switching.
# Get current statecurl http://localhost:8100/__control
# Switch modescurl -X POST http://localhost:8100/__control \ -H "Content-Type: application/json" \ -d '{"mode": "record", "id": "my-test-1"}'interface ControlRequest { mode?: 'transparent' | 'record' | 'replay'; // required unless cleanup is true id?: string; // required for record/replay (and for cleanup) timeout?: number; // auto-reset timeout in ms (default: 120000) cleanup?: boolean; // when true, clean up the session instead of switching mode websocket?: WebSocketReplayConfig; // per-session WebSocket replay pacing override}In most setups you don’t call this directly — playwrightProxy.before() and setProxyMode() (see the API reference) post to it for you. Reach for /__control when driving the proxy from a shell, a CI step, or an AI agent.
