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.

5. Attach image → file input upload
6. Click "Next" (LinkedIn image editor step)
7. Click "Post" → confirmed
