refactor(cdp): extract attachTo, getWindowId, evaluateJson helpers

Target.attachToTarget was decoded at 5 sites, Browser.getWindowForTarget
at 5, and Runtime.evaluate unwrapped at another. Each is now one typed
helper. Deletes the dead cdp/window-binding.ts.

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.

refactor(cdp): make session.call generic over the command table

call/callOnTarget/callBrowser now take a known method and return its
decoded result type. The session is where unknown ends; transport keeps
returning unknown. Removes the casts in session.ts and target-factory.ts,
including the session's own internal Target.*/Browser.* calls, which now
decode through the same path as the public call methods.

Also completes two params-schema gaps in commands.ts surfaced by this
migration: Target.createTarget was missing openerId and Runtime.evaluate
was missing userGesture, both real CDP fields src/cdp/ already sends.

tsc is red project-wide (6 errors, all in src/domains/) — the sanctioned
state between Tasks 4 and 7.

feat(cdp): add typed command table with validated decoders

One typebox schema per CDP command is the source of both the TS types and
the runtime validator, so they cannot drift. Malformed responses become
invalid_response errors instead of TypeErrors several frames later.

test: port remaining suites to node:test

Mechanical port of the hand-rolled check() harness. Import-after-env
ordering preserved so suites still read their sandbox dirs.

fix(test): split P5/P6/P10 into one node:test per original check() label

Task 1 review found three ported checks collapsed two original labels
into one test(), losing the per-assertion granularity the brief's Step 7
requires. Splits P5, P6, and P10 back into two test() blocks each, using
the original labels verbatim, with each block doing its own dynamic
import after before() sets PI_CODING_AGENT_DIR.

chore(build): split tsconfig, typecheck tests, add node:test runner

test/ was never type-checked and had no runner. Adds tsconfig.base.json
shared by a src project and a test project, an npm test script scoped to
non-manual suites, and a CI step. Ports the profile store suite as proof.

fix(profile): resolve replaced binaries and surface real launch failures

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(client): guard page-info evaluation against a missing documentElement

The page-info probe read document.documentElement.scrollWidth/scrollHeight

dimensions so evaluation returns a usable PageInfo instead of failing.

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.

chore: update 0.10.0 release date

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.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* 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.

Closes #7

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.

Closes #10

feat: add deep-research skill, /deep-research command, fix web-search-researcher

deep-research skill fans out to isolated web-search-researcher subagents (now
using browser_web_search + browser_read_page instead of the non-existent
web_search/web_fetch), coverage-driven loop with a hard ceiling, synthesizes a
cited Markdown report. /deep-research command as explicit entry point. Docs updated.

feat: add expand/collapse (Ctrl+O) rendering to web_search and read_page

Both tools dumped full output into the TUI. Add a shared renderExpandableText
helper (src/domains/render.ts) mirroring browser_execute_js: a compact preview
by default, full body on expand via keyHint("app.tools.expand"). Tools stash a
{summary, body, fullOutputPath} render payload in details; the full text still
goes to the LLM via ToolOk.text. Also surfaces engine + result count in the
web_search summary line (closes the S4 observability gap).

URL (or owned targetId) → clean main-article text with nav/ads/footer
boilerplate stripped, via a dependency-free readability heuristic. DOM walk
lives in an in-page capture expression; scoring/selection is a pure, fixture-
tested function (link-density + boilerplate-ancestor filtering, body-text
fallback for structure-less pages). Reuses the isolated-attach lifecycle;
registered unserialized (safe concurrent read). 10 extractor unit scenarios.

feat: add browser_web_search tool (real-Chrome SERP scrape, no API key)

Thin query→ranked-links primitive. Isolated-attach tab lifecycle mirroring
browser_open_urls (never touches the user's current tab); pure Google SERP
parser with semantic (a h3) extraction and redirect unwrapping; CAPTCHA and
no-results surfaced as invalid_state + details.reason. Fixture-based parser
tests (9 scenarios). Establishes the isolated-tab lifecycle and tsx+fixture
test convention that browser_read_page and deep-research build on.

fix: stale socket detection prevents daemon spawn after crash

isDaemonRunning() only checked file existence of the Unix socket.
A dead daemon leaves a stale socket, causing ensureDaemon() to skip
spawning and client.start() to fail with 'Chrome not connected'.

Replace with a liveness probe: connect, register, verify ack, then
disconnect. On failure, clean up the stale socket.

Also makes bridge handleRequest async to poll for Chrome connection
for up to 15s before rejecting.

fix: make dispatch_key fire legacy keyCode handlers and tighten execute_js IIFE wrap (#9)

- 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.

refactor: extract event queue from transport into dedicated module

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

* release: v0.6.0 — per-tab isolation, Unix socket daemon, on-demand init

docs: add per-tab isolation research, design, and implementation plan

- Research: multi-agent safety analysis with precedent findings
- Design: 4-slice per-tab isolation architecture (thoughts/shared/designs/)
- Plan: 3-phase implementation plan (thoughts/shared/plans/)
- Agent definitions (.pi/agents/) for codebase analysis workflow

feat: add per-tab isolation for multi-agent safety

Replace singleton dialog, pageInfoDirty, networkBuffer, and consoleBuffer
with per-tab TabSession objects stored in a Map<string, TabSession>.

- Add TabSession type (sessionId, targetId, dialog, pageInfoDirty,
  networkBuffer, consoleBuffer) and tabs/sessionIdToTargetId Maps
- Add ev.sessionId filter guard in consumeEvents to prevent cross-tab
  event contamination
- Rework switchTo to create/reuse TabSession without clearing buffers,
  updating sessionId on re-attach
- Route all CDP events (dialog, network, console) through resolveTab
  to the correct TabSession
- takeDialog/drainPageInfoInvalidations/drainNetworkBuffer/
  drainConsoleBuffer read from current TabSession
- Target.targetDestroyed prunes dead TabSession entries
- attachFirstPage creates initial TabSession and prunes dead entries
- Per-tab pageCaches Map in client.ts replaces pageCache singleton
- listTabs reconciliation prunes dead pageCaches entries
- console-buffer.ts clear() resets nextSeq to 1 (per-tab seq space)
- Multi-agent warning in prompt.ts Parallel Execution section

release: v0.5.0 — browser_console tool for JS error/console diagnostics

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

release: v0.3.2 — parallel tool execution, scroll fixes, TUI crash fix

- Add async mutex for auto-serialization of mutation tools
- Observation tools can run in parallel with mutations
- Fix scroll deltaY sign convention (positive=down per W3C)
- Add Page.bringToFront before scroll to prevent silent drops
- Fix screenshot TUI crash on long file paths (truncateToWidth)

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: parallel tool execution with automatic mutation serialization

- Add lightweight async mutex (src/util/mutex.ts) for FIFO serialization
- Add serialized?: boolean to BrowserToolDefinition
- Wire mutex acquisition into registerBrowserTool execute wrapper
- Expose mutationMutex() on BrowserClient
- Mark all mutation tools (click, type, scroll, navigate, switch_tab, etc.) as serialized
- Leave observation tools (screenshot, page_info, execute_js, http_get, etc.) unguarded
- Update prompt and skill docs to reflect parallel-safe behavior
- Fix scroll tool: add Page.bringToFront, explicit button:none/buttons:0/pointerType:mouse
- Update .gitignore to ignore scripts/ and data/ folders

Revert "chore: add pre-parallel-execution latency baseline"

This reverts commit 361f4b31f7870f0a8bbd46793edc46c9967fdd69.

chore: add pre-parallel-execution latency baseline

docs: add speed-optimizations research; chore: improve browser detection in setup

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.)

fix: replace @ts-expect-error with @ts-ignore for dynamic sharp import

chore: update lock file for sharp optional dependency

release: v0.3.1 — audit fixes for list_tabs IDs, switch_tab prefix matching, download auto-mkdir, session recovery, docs updates

Bug fixes:
- list_tabs: show full 32-char targetIds (was truncated to 8 chars)
- switch_tab: prefix matching fallback for hex prefixes >= 8 chars
- download: auto-create directory with mkdir -p
- ensureAlive: Runtime.evaluate probe to recover from crashed page targets

Docs:
- dispatch_key: clarify DOM-only event behavior
- navigate: warn about Google anti-bot limitation
- network_log: update deprecated promptSnippet
- SKILL.md: document actual daemon API (evaluateJs, pageInfo, session.call)
- SKILL.md: add troubleshooting for sharp/maxDim and Google navigation
- sharp: add to optionalDependencies for screenshot maxDim auto-resize

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 scroll with W3C deltaY semantics and dialog guard

feat(domains): migrate type, press_key, dispatch_key with safeJs and matched-count validation

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.

feat: add defineBrowserTool helper, truncation, schemas/common, empty registry

docs: add v0.3.0 harness rewrite implementation plan

27 tasks: foundations → CDP transport/session/client → defineTool helper
→ vertical slice (click) → 13 domain migrations → wire-up + delete legacy
→ smoke + release. Each task has concrete code, exact file paths, and a
typecheck checkpoint.

docs: add v0.3.0 internal-rewrite design spec

Per-domain module split, frozen tool names, normalized params, unified
Result+details contract. Captures the full audit (predictability bugs,
security gaps) and the structural fixes for each.

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.

ci: suppress npm pack notice output

fix: commit package-lock.json for CI reproducibility

Removes package-lock.json from .gitignore so npm ci works in CI.
Without the lock file, actions/setup-node cache resolution fails
and npm ci has no dependency tree to install from.

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
WebSocket from the extension. Removes the protocol's send/health helpers,
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.

Fix repo/bug URLs to point to amankumarsingh77/pi-browser-harness

Initial release: pi-browser-harness

Browser control extension for pi — 20 browser_* tools for navigating,
clicking, typing, screenshotting, and extracting data from real Chrome
via CDP. Includes self-extending harness (register_tool/remove_tool),
guided /browser-setup, session persistence, and custom TUI renderers.
