inspect_element
Determine an element's actual rendered state—box model, computed styles, visibility verdict—to see the values the page truly uses, bypassing overridden rules.
Instructions
The 'WHAT' for one element: box model (margins/padding/border), key computed styles as authored → used values, a visibility verdict, and layout context. Use when you need an element's current rendered state — its real size, spacing, or whether it is actually visible/where it sits. These are the values the page ACTUALLY renders, so it catches the common case where the source rule you'd edit is overridden or never applied. For 'WHY it looks like this / which rule wins' use explain_styles; for 'which ancestor constrains its size or position' use inspect_ancestors.
