the test names. Keeps one-line notes for the deleted-binary fixture order,
the never-arriving event consumer, the absent-vs-undefined key distinction,
the unexpected-method-echo rationale, and the real-browser teardown and
Local State flush quirks.

fix(domains): report a page-side throw instead of blaming the ref

runOnElement checked only whether Runtime.callFunctionOn reached Chrome, not
whether the function it ran threw. A page-side exception left result.value
undefined, the result guard rejected it, and browser_fill, browser_focus and
browser_select_option all reported "No element matched: <ref>" for an element
that was there — sending the agent to re-snapshot a ref that was fine and
discarding the real error. The throw is now surfaced as cdp_error carrying the
exception text, which is distinguishable from both the no-match and stale-ref
paths; those still fire for a genuinely missing or stale element. The selector
path already reported throws correctly via evaluateJs.

fix(domains): one fill engine, so browser_fill stops lying about checkboxes

browser_fill and browser_fill_form carried separate in-page implementations that
disagreed on the same element. The worst case was silent: browser_fill on a
checkbox fired the HTMLInputElement value setter, which writes the submit value
and leaves `checked` alone, then reported status ok — a no-op the agent had no
reason to doubt. Both tools now share one engine, with browser_fill's documented
<select> rejection kept as an explicit pre-check and per-tool focus behaviour kept
as a parameter.

Deliberate, user-approved behaviour changes:
  - browser_fill on a DISABLED input now returns an error instead of success. The
    old success was the bug; browser_fill_form already refused it.
  - browser_fill on a checkbox/radio now toggles `checked` instead of the value.
  - browser_fill_form on a contenteditable now uses execCommand("insertText"),
    so it drives ProseMirror/Slack-style editors as browser_fill already did.

browser_fill keeps appending interactiveDiff and republishing refs; fill_form
still does not.

fix(domains): keep element refs stable across a mutation

interactiveDiff re-assigned refs by tree position after every fill, click and
select, so any element appearing or disappearing shifted the numbering and a ref
the agent was still holding silently resolved to a different element — while the
tools kept promising that refs survive re-renders. Refs are now carried over by
backendNodeId and only genuinely new elements draw a new number.

fix(tool): stop the socket gate rejecting every tool call on Windows

The tool gate ran access() on DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH, which on Windows is the named
pipe \\.\pipe\pi-browser-daemon. Named pipes are not filesystem entries, so
access() always fails there and every browser_* call returned "Browser harness
not initialized" no matter how healthy the daemon was. spawn.ts already skipped
the identical check for this reason; that knowledge is now one shared
daemonSocketMayExist() used by both call sites, with platform and path as
parameters so the branch is testable off-platform.

fix(cdp): route background-tab events to the tab they belong to

The event loop dropped every event whose sessionId was not the active tab's, so
the per-tab console and network buffers could only ever hold data captured while
their tab was in the foreground. The filter now drops only sessions this instance
never attached, and the dialog, frameNavigated and loadEventFired arms resolve
their tab from the event's sessionId instead of assuming the active tab — without
that, a background tab's dialog would have been recorded against the foreground
one. Tabs are also registered before the domain-enable round trips, so events
arriving during attach are no longer dropped as unknown.

fix(cdp): re-enable domains when re-attaching to a known tab

Every Target.attachToTarget mints a new sessionId and CDP domain enablement is
per-session, but switchTo only enabled domains on a tab's first visit. Switching
away and back left the refreshed session with Page, Network, Runtime and Log
disabled, so that tab silently stopped collecting console and network records and
stopped reporting dialogs and load events for the rest of the session.

chore: fail the build on unguarded type assertions

A clean tsc does not prove the absence of casts. This scans src/ for
as any, ts-ignore, non-null assertions, inline object casts, and double
casts, wired into a new npm run check that CI runs as a single step.

The escape hatch is an external allowlist module rather than an inline
comment marker: comments are not used in this codebase, and an entry
carries a count, so adding a new cast to an already-exempted file still
fails until someone raises a number that shows up in the diff. Exactly
one exemption is needed today, for the dynamic sharp import.

scripts/ was gitignored wholesale, so the two new files are un-ignored
individually and everything else dropped there stays ignored.

refactor: close the remaining unguarded type assertions

Types the event-queue iterator's TReturn as undefined so the terminal
result needs no cast; declares the isError field the pi runtime reads by
duck-typing; binds socket to a local const in the daemon transport;
replaces the @ts-ignore on the optional sharp import with a non-literal
specifier so src/ still typechecks where sharp was not installed.

Adds src/util/guards.ts as the single home for narrowing over unknown —
isRecord plus scalar/array readers — and converts the two private
isObject copies in cdp/types.ts and daemon/protocol.ts along with every
inline `as Record<string, unknown>` in domains/js.ts and domains/render.ts.

Gives Accessibility.getFullAXTree a real result schema, closing the last
unvalidated CDP boundary: only nodeId is required, every object carries
additionalProperties, and each AX value stays Unknown, so the tree
decodes as a whole or fails as a whole rather than being filtered.

Guards the five tool-result `details` readers, the daemon attach
response, the persisted session state, the browser-namespace flag, and
the fs errno narrowing, each feeding an already-present failure path.

The daemon-transport socket binding is not a bug fix: send() runs
synchronously inside sendWithTimeout's promise executor, so socket cannot
be reassigned between the check and the write. It removes the assertion
and makes the write immune to a later refactor that adds an await.

Two assertions survive by design and are documented in the task report:
the never->unknown re-widening in util/tool.ts, which the type-erased
tool registry makes unavoidable, and the AsyncFunction constructor lookup
in domains/js.ts, which JavaScript exposes no typed binding for.

refactor: validate JSON at every parse boundary

Ten sites cast or implicitly typed JSON.parse output; JSON.parse("null")
would have satisfied all of them. parseJson returns a Result and validates
against a typebox schema. js.ts keeps unknown — user script output has no
fixed shape. daemon/bridge.ts assigned JSON.parse straight to CdpRawMessage
with no guard at all; it now uses isCdpRawMessage like the transport does.

fix(domains): stop fill_form misreporting select-by-label, let it fail

Three review fixes on the restored fill_form:

- FILL_FN matches a <select> option by value, label or text but returns
  el.value, so filling by visible label ("Canada" -> value "ca") tripped
  the read-back mismatch check and reported a correctly-set field as
  "Filled 0/1 fields; issues: ref e4 (value mismatch)". The mismatch test
  now also accepts res.text, which FILL_FN sets only for selects, so
  mismatch detection is preserved for every other field kind.
- fill_form always returned ok(), so total failure surfaced as a
  successful result reading "Filled 0/4 fields". It now returns
  invalid_state when okCount is 0, carrying the per-field issue list as
  the error message. Partial success stays ok().
- Removed the two comment blocks this task had added to
  test/manual/forms-test.ts.

Neither behaviour fix has automated coverage; the manual suite that would
exercise them still needs a live Chrome and was not run.

fix(domains): restore fill_form and set_checked, drop the stale fork

domains/forms.ts was a stale fork of form.ts imported only by a manual
test. It held two working tools the registry never registered: fill_form
and set_checked. Ported both onto the current pattern and deleted the
fork; form.ts versions of the shared tools win.

The fork's tools took ref as Type.Integer (a raw CDP backendNodeId).
browser_snapshot has since moved to string refs ('e7') resolved through
the session ref map, so as written the tools were not callable at all.
Ported them onto resolveRefToObjectId and Type.String refs; the only
user-facing strings that changed are the four that documented the old
[ref=N] syntax. All page-side JS is carried byte-for-byte.

form.ts exceeded 250 lines, so fillForm moved to form-batch.ts per the
single-field/batch split. form.ts is still 425 lines — the pre-existing
three tools account for that, so the split does not reach the target.

test/manual/forms-test.ts is repointed and adapted to publish an 'eN'
ref map, but NOT executed — it needs a live Chrome. Type-checked only.

refactor(tools): declare concurrency in the tool definition

serialized: true was applied in registry.ts, away from the tools it
describes. Now a required concurrency field on each definition, with a
test pinning the serialized set so the classes cannot drift.

The lock check defaults to taking the mutex for any class that is not
explicitly "parallel", so a definition that bypasses defineBrowserTool at
runtime fails safe rather than racing on shared CDP state.

The test script gains --conditions=import: pi-coding-agent publishes no
"require" condition, so importing any tool definition from a CJS-loaded
test could not resolve it.

fix(domains): restore fail-closed focus check in browser_type

Adopting isFocusProbe inverted the safety default: the guard was ANDed into
the condition gating the check, so a probe result the guard rejected skipped
the check and fell through to Input.insertText — text typed into nothing,
silently, which is the exact failure the block exists to prevent. The guard
now feeds a value that defaults to { ok: false }, so a rejected shape
produces the error instead of bypassing it.

The other four guard adoptions (isFillResult, isFocusResult, isSelectResult,
isPageResult) were already fail-closed: each feeds a value whose rejection
lands on a pre-existing error branch.

Also assert x/y in the box centre test — the fields snapshot's off-viewport
filter reads — and wrap the zero-size message to the surrounding width.

refactor(domains): drop CDP casts, share the box-model unwrap

ref-resolve.ts and snapshot.ts had the same box-model unwrap, both using
data.model! to work around an untyped response. Extracted to domains/box.ts;
the typed schema makes the assertions unnecessary. Both derived the centre
identically (quad corner + half the model width/height), so centreOf keeps
that derivation; the shared zero-size rejection moved into boxOf, and
snapshot keeps its own off-viewport (x/y < 0) filter.

evalInIsolatedTab now goes through evaluateJson with the tab's own sessionId
and a caller-supplied guard; both callers evaluate expressions ending in
JSON.stringify, so they pass isJsonText rather than a check that checks
nothing. Runtime.evaluate/callFunctionOn result casts in form.ts, forms.ts
and keyboard.ts are replaced by named guards over the in-page result shapes.

Runtime.callFunctionOn's params schema gained arguments/returnByValue/
awaitPromise/userGesture: four domain call sites legitimately pass them and
typebox's additionalProperties:true does not widen the static type, so the
params type was rejecting valid CDP fields. Params schemas are type-only
(only results are compiled), so this is a compile-time widening with no
runtime effect.

tsc is green again for both tsconfigs.

test(cdp): cover call/callOnTarget/callBrowser through a stub transport; collapse decode into one path

session-call-test.ts previously only exercised decodeResult (Task 3's
surface, and mostly duplicating commands-test.ts) — call, callOnTarget,
callBrowser, and the session's internal req helper had zero coverage.
Add a stub CdpTransport (no socket, no browser) and test: a valid payload
decodes to typed data, a garbage payload becomes invalid_response without
throwing, a transport-level error passes through with its original kind
(not relabeled), call/callOnTarget/callBrowser route the session id
correctly, and opts.timeoutMs reaches the transport only when provided.

Also collapse the four near-identical transport-then-decode bodies (req,
call, callOnTarget, callBrowser) into one: the three public methods now
delegate to req, which is the sole place unknown ends for every CDP call
the session makes, internal or public. Public signatures are unchanged.

Also completes two params-schema gaps in commands.ts surfaced by this

Two failures made a profile launch report the wrong cause.

Linux appends " (deleted)" to /proc/<pid>/exe once the running binary is
unlinked, which is what a google-chrome package upgrade does while the
browser stays open. detectRunningBrowser passed that literal string on as
the executable path, so every launch tried to spawn
"/opt/google/chrome/chrome (deleted)" and hit ENOENT. Executable paths are
now validated against disk, with the marker stripped and argv[0] used as a
fallback; a binary genuinely named "… (deleted)" still wins.

spawn() reports a missing or non-executable binary asynchronously via an
'error' event rather than throwing, and that event was discarded — so
openProfileWindow returned success, no window opened, and the caller
blamed the browser 15s later with a sentinel timeout. The launch now
awaits 'spawn'/'error', returns the real cause, and removes its handshake
page on the failure path.

fix: kill leaked Chrome processes on profile seed failure

When a profile is pinned and ProcessSingleton fails to delegate, the
spawned Chrome process starts a full second browser instance. The
sentinel never appeared, but the spawned process was never killed
(detached + unref'd + reference discarded), accumulating zombie
browsers that consume RAM.

Three changes:
- Store child process ref and expose kill() on ProfileWindowHandle.
  Call kill() when the sentinel doesn't appear within the timeout.
- Only clear profileContextId when the browser UUID changes (Chrome
  mints a fresh UUID on every launch), avoiding unnecessary re-spawns.
- Don't clear profileContextId in setProfilePin when the pin hasn't
  changed, preventing gratuitous re-spawns on session_start.

feat: pin the agent to a chosen browser profile (#16)

* feat: pin the agent to a chosen browser profile (#15)

Harness tabs were created with a bare Target.createTarget, which places
them in Chrome's defaultBrowserContextId — and that value follows window
focus. Which profile the agent acted as therefore depended on which
browser window the user last clicked, so the same task could run as a
work account on one run and a personal account on the next.

/browser-profile lists the connected browser's profiles as "Name (email)"
and pins one to ~/.pi/agent/browser-harness.json, so the choice outlives
the session. The same picker appears on first browser_setup when nothing
is pinned; with no interactive UI, or on cancel, setup continues with a
note and the previous behavior.

Chrome offers no direct route to another profile: Target.createTarget
rejects a foreign browserContextId, and openerId does not inherit the
opener's context. The window is opened through the browser's own command
line (--profile-directory, handed to the running browser by Chromium's
ProcessSingleton) and identified by a unique file:// sentinel page, since
a bare about:blank#token argument is discarded. Further tabs come from
window.open evaluated with userGesture: true — the only CDP-reachable way
to place a tab in a non-default browser context — correlated by a unique
token so concurrent isolated tabs stay distinct. A failed handshake is
reported, never silently redirected to another profile.

All four tab-creation sites now funnel through cdp/target-factory, so
open_urls and the isolated tabs behind web_search / read_page cannot run
with a different profile's cookies than the visible tabs.

Also fixed along the way: snap Chromium is discovered, Windows uses
%LOCALAPPDATA%, browsers launched with an explicit --user-data-dir are
found, the running browser is chosen by ranking candidates against the
connected user-data-dir rather than taking the first process found, and
an installed-but-closed browser no longer reads as running.

CI runs the profile suites and a real-browser end-to-end test on ubuntu,
macOS, and Windows — profile discovery is the one part of the harness
whose behavior genuinely differs per OS.

* fix: single-flight harness window creation

Isolated tabs run concurrently (browser_read_page is registered
unserialized), so several could each find "no harness window" and create
one — two blank windows before this feature, two LAUNCHED profile windows
after it. ensureHarnessWindow now shares one in-flight creation per
client.

Sharing introduces a second hazard: freshlyCreated is a claim on the seed
tab, and if every waiter received it, they would all drive the same tab.
Only the caller that started the creation keeps the claim; the rest open
their own tab beside it.

Covered by test/manual/profile-concurrency-test.ts (five concurrent
isolated tabs, pinned and unpinned: distinct targets, one window, correct
profile), wired into CI on Linux only — the coordination is pure JS and
identical across platforms.

* fix: tilde expansion differs by purpose on Windows

CI on windows-latest caught this: join("~", "x") yields "~\x" there, and
expandTilde only handled "~/".

The two uses are not the same, so they no longer share a helper. The
agent dir stays byte-compatible with pi's own expandTildePath ("~/" only,
every platform) — being more lenient would put the pin file somewhere pi
never looks. $CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR is ours to interpret, so it accepts
"~\" as well, which is what a Windows user would type.

docs: rewrite README for accuracy and readability

The README taught the coordinate-first interaction model that the harness
replaced with stable [eN] refs, and documented 22 of the 38 registered
tools. Restructured so each section answers one question, and rewrote the
content against the actual tool registry.

- Teach the ref-first model: snapshot yields [eN] handles that re-resolve
  at action time, with coordinates as the fallback rather than the default.
- Document the 16 missing tools: the forms path (fill/select_option/focus),
  console, wait_for, dispatch_key, drag_and_drop, upload_file, download,
  print_to_pdf, viewport_resize, close_tab, and setup.
- Rebuild the comparison table as prose cells grouped by dimension. Drops
  the unverifiable "unknown" rows and the duplicated click/dispatch claims,
  and adds a provenance line so competitor claims stay correctable.
- Remove stale guidance: /browser-reload-daemon as the fix for a Chrome
  restart (auto-reconnect landed in 0.6.0), and the unbenchmarked "10-50x
  faster" claim on http_get.
- Add sections for concurrency and tab isolation, flags and environment
  variables (BU_CDP_WS, BU_CDP_PORTS, BH_SCRIPT_DIR), and a troubleshooting
  table keyed to the errors the harness actually emits.

feat: support Brave + Chrome channels, fix stale DevToolsActivePort discovery (#13)

* feat: support Brave + Chrome channels, fix stale DevToolsActivePort discovery

Broadens browser detection and hardens CDP endpoint discovery, based on the
investigation and approach in #4 (Brave Beta on macOS with a leftover Chrome
DevToolsActivePort file).

Browser detection (src/setup.ts, src/cdp/discovery.ts):
- checkChromeRunning() now recognizes Brave (macOS "brave browser", Linux
  brave/brave-browser, Windows brave.exe), alongside the existing Chrome/
  Chromium/Edge detection. Also excludes gpu/updater sub-processes that can
  linger after a browser quits.
- profileDirs() gains Brave (Stable/Beta/Nightly/Dev) and Chrome Beta/Dev/
  Canary/Chromium profile paths across macOS, Linux, and Windows.

Stale DevToolsActivePort handling (src/cdp/discovery.ts):
Previously discovery trusted the first readable DevToolsActivePort file. A
browser that has quit leaves its file behind, so if another browser later binds
the same port (e.g. 9222), discovery returned a WS URL carrying the dead
browser's UUID against the live browser's server, and the connection failed.
discoverWsUrl() now:
- collects all readable candidates instead of committing to the first;
- when candidates share a port, keeps the most-recently-written file (mtime);
- skips candidates whose port isn't live via a fast single-shot probe (no
  30s waitForPort block on stale files);
- asks each live browser for its canonical webSocketDebuggerUrl via
  /json/version, falling back to the file's WS path when that endpoint is
  disabled (some browsers only expose it via --remote-debugging-port);
- falls back to probing well-known ports (9222, plus BU_CDP_PORTS) when no
  profile file is readable — covering sandboxed harnesses (EPERM/EACCES) and
  non-default install locations.

Setup guidance updated to mention brave://inspect / edge://inspect and the
--remote-debugging-port launch flag.

Verified: typecheck clean; queryLiveWsUrl / mtime-dedup / fallback-port logic
exercised against a mock /json/version server; checkChromeRunning() matches the
single main process against live macOS ps output, excluding all helpers.

Closes #4

Co-authored-by: Trevor Whitney <trevorjwhitney@gmail.com>

* fix: harden discovery against malformed port files + stale-then-fallback

Addresses two issues raised in review of the discovery rewrite:

- Validate the port parsed from DevToolsActivePort before building a
  candidate. A truncated/corrupt file (non-numeric or out-of-range first
  line) yielded NaN, and net.connect throws ERR_SOCKET_BAD_PORT
  synchronously for NaN / <=0 / >=65536 — which escaped discoverWsUrl as an
  unhandled rejection instead of surfacing as a Result error. Such entries
  are now skipped.

- Fall back to well-known ports (9222 / BU_CDP_PORTS) after all discovered
  candidates prove stale. Previously the fallback ran only when no port file
  was readable, so a leftover file for a quit browser caused a ~30s
  waitForPort block and failure without ever trying a live fallback port.
  Ports already covered by a candidate are skipped to avoid re-probing.

fix: make browser daemon setup work on Windows (#7) (#12)

The Unix socket daemon introduced in v0.6.0 made several POSIX-only
assumptions that break setup on Windows:

- protocol.ts hardcoded a Unix socket path (/tmp/pi-browser-daemon.sock).
  Node IPC on Windows requires a named pipe (\\.\pipe\<name>); a /tmp
  path is not a valid net listen/connect target there.
- spawn.ts spawned the bare tsx binary / `npx` and probed the non-Windows
  .bin/tsx shim. On Windows npm binaries are .cmd shims that must run via a
  shell, and spawning them directly fails with EINVAL / ENOENT.
- isDaemonRunning() pre-checked the socket with fs.access(), which always
  fails for a named pipe and would report a live daemon as dead.
- stale-socket unlink() would throw on a named pipe path.

Changes:
- DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH is now platform-aware: named pipe on win32, Unix
  socket elsewhere.
- spawnDaemon() resolves tsx.cmd / npx.cmd on Windows, runs via shell with
  per-token quoting (paths with spaces) and windowsVerbatimArguments.
- isDaemonRunning() skips the fs.access pre-check on Windows and probes the
  pipe directly.
- stale-socket cleanup is a no-op on Windows (named pipes self-clean).
- setup.ts daemon-failure message uses the actual DAEMON_SOCKET_PATH.

fix: remove browser footer status indicator (#10) (#11)

The footer status chip set during session_start could go stale: after a
successful /browser-setup, the setup command only called ctx.ui.notify()
and never updated ctx.ui.setStatus("browser", ...), so the footer kept
showing the red "Browser — run /browser-setup" nudge even though the
browser was connected.

Rather than syncing the status from the setup handler, remove the footer
status indicator entirely. Browser control is on-demand and the setup
command already reports its own outcome via notify(), so the persistent
footer chip added no value and only introduced a stale-state bug.

- browser_dispatch_key now sets keyCode/which on the synthesized KeyboardEvent
  (both ref and selector paths) so handlers checking e.keyCode === 13 fire.
- browser_execute_js IIFE auto-wrap triggers only when the source starts with a
  return statement, not on any substring "return " (which silently produced
  undefined for bare expressions).
- browser_fill guidelines point at dispatch_key for tag-input submission and the
  snapshot+click recipe for custom dropdowns.

Bump to 0.8.1.

feat: address elements by stable refs across re-renders (#8)

Interaction tools could only target elements by raw viewport coordinates
(browser_click) or model-guessed CSS selectors (browser_fill/focus/
select_option/upload). Neither survives a re-render: on React/SPA forms,
every save or edit reflows the page, so captured @(x,y) coordinates go
stale and guessed selectors miss — leaving the agent to fall back to
hand-rolled execute_js DOM walks and unnoticed failed saves.

Add a stable ref system, mirroring Playwright MCP / browser-use:

- snapshot assigns each interactive element a ref (e1, e2, …), shown as
  [eN] in the outline, and publishes a per-tab ref → backendNodeId map
- interaction tools accept an optional `ref` that re-resolves the element
  at call time (via DOM.resolveNode / getBoxModel), so it stays valid
  across re-renders; coordinates/selectors remain as fallbacks
- mutating tools append a compact diff of changed / newly-appeared (*) /
  removed interactive elements, so silent failed saves surface immediately
- stale refs return an actionable "re-snapshot" error instead of a miss

Ref map is replaced per snapshot (bounded memory); fill keeps the native
_valueTracker write path so React controlled inputs still update.

release: v0.6.0 — per-tab isolation, Unix socket daemon, on-demand init (#6)

* feat: Unix socket daemon with auto-reconnect for persistent Chrome CDP

Eliminates the 'Allow Remote Debugging' Chrome prompt that appeared on
every pi session by multiplexing pi instances through a single persistent
daemon process.

Key additions:
- Unix socket IPC (net.createServer + readline JSON framing)
- CdpBridge with ID multiplexer + event router
- DaemonTransport implementing CdpTransport interface
- Auto-spawn with ensureDaemon() (lazy, checks socket)

Fixes since initial implementation:
- Bridge auto-reconnects to Chrome with exponential backoff (1s-60s).
  Previously the bridge tried once at startup and permanently failed
  if Chrome wasn't ready — causing 'Chrome not connected' on every
  browser tool call.
- Daemon spawn uses project-local tsx binary instead of global --import
  flag, fixing silent spawn failure (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND).
- Stale ctx crash: persistState in onOwnershipChange wrapped in
  try/catch to prevent CDP event consumer crashes.

49 test assertions across 4 test files. Zero TypeScript errors.

* feat: on-demand browser initialization

Browser daemon no longer auto-starts on session_start. Instead:
- session_start creates the client lazily but does NOT connect or spawn
  the daemon. Zero Chrome prompts for non-browser pi sessions.
- Browser tool wrapper checks for daemon socket before each call.
  Socket missing → clear error: 'Run /browser-setup first'.
  Socket exists → proceeds silently (daemon already running).
- /browser-setup is the explicit, one-time init point. It spawns
  the daemon and connects to Chrome only when the user opts in.
- SKILL.md updated with Connection Setup instructions telling agents
  to direct users to /browser-setup when socket is missing.

* fix: checkChromeRunning on macOS — match by substring not exact

ps -A -o comm= returns full executable paths on modern macOS
(e.g. /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome),
not the basename. The old exact-match check (browserProcesses.includes(l))
never matched, causing false 'No browser instance running' errors.
Changed to substring includes() with helper/renderer/crashpad filtering.

* feat: browser_setup as agent-callable tool

The agent can now self-recover from 'Browser harness not initialized'
errors by calling browser_setup directly — no user mediation needed.

- Extracted shared performSetup() from the slash command into setup.ts
- Created src/domains/setup.ts with ensureAlive:false to bypass the
  socket guard (this tool IS the setup, can't require itself)
- Registered browser_setup in the tool registry
- Updated SKILL.md: agent calls browser_setup directly, not ask user
- Removed stale test/manual/spawn-test.ts

docs: rewrite README for v0.4.0 — comparison table, snapshot-first patterns

Adds a "Why pi-browser-harness?" comparison table (vs Playwright MCP, Stagehand,
Puppeteer MCP) at the top, surfacing the differentiators a chooser actually
cares about: real Chrome, coordinate clicks through iframes/shadow DOM, inline
TUI rendering, AX tree with @(x,y) coords, parallel execution, scripts.

Tool list reorganized into "Page inspection (use these by default)" / "Visual
(last resort)" / Navigation / Interaction / Utility — adds browser_snapshot,
browser_network_requests, browser_close_tab. Patterns rewritten snapshot-first;
form filling and research no longer screenshot. New sections for parallel
execution and tab ownership. Temporary scripts example fixed to use the actual
daemon.session().call() binding. Three explicit anti-screenshot rules in
"What NOT to do".

release: v0.4.0 — accessibility snapshot, network capture, snapshot-first prompts

Adds two new tools and pivots the agent's default workflow away from
screenshots toward structured page data.

browser_snapshot — CDP accessibility tree (roles, names, states, hierarchy)
with click coordinates @(x,y) attached to every interactive element via
DOM.getBoxModel (parallel, 1.5s aggregate budget). Pass directly to
browser_click — no screenshot round-trip. Optional includeScreenshot:true
for visual confirmation. format:"json" returns a slim structure with full
box per node.

browser_network_requests — replaces the deprecated browser_get_network_log
placeholder. Filters by urlPattern (substring or /regex/), method, status,
resource type, recency. Optional response-body capture under a 5s aggregate
budget with 50KB per-body cap. Buffer is page-scoped (cleared on tab switch),
500 records/tab, with a bufferOverflowed flag on drain.

CDP plumbing: in-process aggregator in src/cdp/network-buffer.ts wired into
the existing single-consumer event loop. Accessibility domain enabled
alongside Page/DOM/Runtime/Network on every attach.

Ctrl+O expand/collapse on three tools' renderResult — browser_snapshot,
browser_network_requests, browser_execute_js. Compact-by-default views with
keyHint("app.tools.expand") that respects user keybinding remaps.

Tool prompts pivoted snapshot-first: browser_screenshot is documented as
LAST RESORT for visual verification only; browser_snapshot is the default
for understanding pages; browser_execute_js is the default for surgical
reads. browser_click and browser_open_urls guidance follows.

SKILL.md collapsed from ~342 to ~53 lines — keeping only what isn't already
in tool prompts: the decision tree, connection rules, browser_run_script
daemon bindings.

feat: tab ownership — isolate harness tabs from the user's browsing

Track which page targets this harness session opened so the agent can never
attach to, switch to, or close a tab the user opened themselves. New tabs
are spawned in a dedicated Chrome window (newWindow:true on first open,
openerId chaining after) so harness activity stays visually separate.

- new OwnershipRegistry (src/cdp/ownership.ts) tracks owned targetIds and
  the harness window seed; mutations notify a single listener that persists
  to BrowserState (ownedTargetIds, harnessWindowTargetId)
- attachFirstPage prefers an already-owned live target; otherwise opens a
  fresh harness-owned tab in its own window instead of grabbing whatever
  page the user is on
- session subscribes Target.setDiscoverTargets and reaps targetDestroyed
  events so the registry stays in sync with reality
- listTabs returns owned:boolean per tab and reconciles dead ids
- browser_list_tabs defaults to scope:"owned"; pass scope:"all" to inspect
  the user's other tabs (read-only — they cannot be switched to or closed)
- browser_switch_tab refuses non-owned tabs, with a clear remediation hint
- browser_new_tab opens inside the harness window via openerId, falling
  back to a fresh window when the seed has been closed
- new browser_close_tab tool — owned tabs only, supports unique hex prefix

fix: prevent TUI crash when screenshot path overflows terminal width (#2)

The Image text-fallback render does not respect the rendered width,
so a long file path can blow past the terminal width and crash the
host TUI. Wrap the component to truncate each rendered line with
truncateToWidth so it fits the available width.

feat: render screenshots inline in TUI via Image component; add parallelization guidance to SKILL.md

- browser_screenshot now has renderResult that creates an Image component
  for inline display in Kitty/iTerm2/Ghostty/WezTerm terminals
- Falls back to dim text placeholder on terminals without image support
- Updated system prompt table description to mention TUI inline rendering
- Added Parallelization section to SKILL.md teaching the agent to batch
  independent operations (browser_open_urls, browser_http_get, etc.)

chore: address final-review minors — surface event-consumer crashes, document IIFE-wrap heuristic, log shutdown failures, fix CHANGELOG file-size claim

Five tweaks from the whole-implementation review:
- session.ts: log unexpected event-consumer rejections instead of silent swallow
- client.ts: comment the return-substring IIFE-wrap false-positive case
- transport.ts: comment that ws.onclose post-open settle is no-op-by-design
- index.ts: log client.stop() failures during shutdown
- CHANGELOG.md: correct largest-file claim (transport.ts and client.ts are ~220 each, not "client.ts at ~180")

feat(domains): migrate browser_click to defineBrowserTool — vertical slice

Implements Task 9: adds src/domains/click.ts with the new architecture,
updates registry.ts to register clickTool, removes the legacy browser_click
block from tools.ts, and wires BrowserClient alongside BrowserDaemon in
index.ts so both systems coexist during migration.

Also fixes AnyBrowserToolDefinition variance: uses never-arg renderCall in
the erased type and a boundary cast in registerBrowserTool so concrete tool
definitions (with specific Static<S> args) are assignable to the registry
array without widening.

perf: v0.2.0 — event-based waitForLoad, fast ensureAlive, JPEG screenshots, page info caching

5 performance optimizations (14-36% faster end-to-end, output quality unchanged):

- fast ensureAlive(): WS state check instead of CDP roundtrip (96% faster per-call)
- event-based waitForLoad(): CDP load events instead of 300ms polling (99.5% faster for loaded tabs)
- JPEG screenshot support: 29-49% smaller files, faster CDP transfer
- page info caching: 1s TTL eliminates redundant evaluateJS calls
- parallel domain enables: Promise.all instead of sequential await in switchTab()

Benchmark: 3622ms vs 4243ms baseline on 3-tab navigation + screenshot task.

Replace dynamic tool registration with browser_run_script

Remove register_tool/remove_tool/list_dynamic_tools and the entire
dynamic-tools.ts module. Replace with a single browser_run_script tool
that executes temporary scripts from disk with daemon access.

Scripts are now written to disk before execution, making them auditable
and re-runnable. Same bindings (daemon, require, params, etc.) as before
via the same AsyncFunction mechanism.

fix: stop Chrome remote-debugging consent popup storm

Previously a single consent-pending socket could spawn up to 5 stacked
'Allow remote debugging?' dialogs. Three causes:

- onopen reset _reconnectAttempts, but Chrome accepts the WS upgrade
  before the user clicks Allow, so a held socket looked healthy.
- ensureAlive's health probe used the full 15s CDP timeout; while the
  user was reading the dialog the probe would time out, trigger a
  stop()+start(), and a fresh popup would stack on top.
- onclose auto-reconnected unconditionally even when consent had never
  been granted on that connection.

Now a connection is only considered healthy once the first CDP
roundtrip completes (attachFirstPage). ensureAlive does a 2s short
probe before tearing down the socket. onclose bails out of auto-
reconnect when consent was never observed, so a denied dialog
surfaces a clean error instead of looping.

Replace socket daemon with direct CDP WebSocket connection

Drops the Unix socket subprocess in favor of talking CDP directly over

simplifies setup to just verifying Chrome's remote debugging port, and
tightens types in dynamic-tools. Bumps Node engine to >=22 and adds the
ws dependency.
