VLM-driven self-improvement of web code has a structural flaw: the model that proposes the repair is the model that judges it, and visual plausibility under that judge is a poor proxy for whether the page actually works. What the loop is missing is a counterparty the VLM cannot fool, and the browser already is that counterparty: a deterministic, executable simulator of how an HTML artifact behaves under user actions, and in everything but name a world model for web code. We present WebWorld, the interface that lets a VLM prior interact with this browser-as-world-model autonomously and decides
