Lighthouse agentic browsing scoring

Google's Lighthouse now includes an Agentic Browsing category to audit site readiness for machine-driven interaction.

The new category evaluates websites based on their compatibility with agentic workflows rather than human UX. Instead of a traditional 0-100 score, it provides a fractional readiness ratio and pass/fail status for technical requirements like WebMCP schema validity, helping developers optimize sites for autonomous browsing agents.
