v0.24.1 (#1142)

* v0.24.1

* fix: e2e test failures on CI

- e2e_relaunch_on_options_change: use headless for all launches;
  the third launch only changes extensions, which is sufficient to
  trigger the relaunch hash mismatch without needing an X display
- e2e_auth_login flake: reduce SPA render delay from 1200ms to 800ms
  to add headroom within the 5s preferred selector window on slower
  CI runners

 # agent-browser
 
+## 0.24.1
+
+<!-- release:start -->
+### New Features
+
+- **Chrome profile login state reuse** - `--profile <name>` now resolves Chrome profile names (e.g. `Default`, `Profile 1`) and copies the profile to a temp directory to reuse login state, cookies, and extensions without modifying the original. Added `profiles` command to list available Chrome profiles with `--json` support (#1131)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **`--ignore-https-errors`** not passing `--ignore-certificate-errors` as a Chrome launch flag, causing TLS errors like `ERR_SSL_PROTOCOL_ERROR` to be rejected at the network layer before CDP could intervene (#1132)
+- Fixed **orphaned Chrome processes** on daemon exit by spawning Chrome in its own process group and killing the entire group on shutdown. On Linux, `PR_SET_PDEATHSIG` ensures Chrome is killed even if the daemon is OOM-killed (#1137)
+- Fixed **CDP attach hang on Chrome 144+** when connecting to real browser sessions. Targets paused waiting for the debugger after attach are now resumed with `Runtime.runIfWaitingForDebugger` (#1133)
+- Fixed **stale daemon after upgrade** silently reusing the old daemon process with broken CDP behavior. The daemon now writes a `.version` sidecar file and auto-restarts on version mismatch (#1134)
+- Fixed **stale daemon/socket recovery** where `close --all` failed to clean up zombie daemons and stale files. Unreachable daemons are now force-killed and orphaned socket/pid files are removed (#1136)
+- Fixed **idle timeout** not being respected because the sleep future was recreated on every select loop iteration, preventing the deadline from being reached (#1110)
+- Fixed **browser not relaunching** when launch options change (e.g. adding extensions to `config.json`) between consecutive launch commands (#996)
+- Fixed **`auto_launch()`** not honouring `AGENT_BROWSER_PROVIDER` for cloud providers, causing non-launch commands to fall back to local Chrome instead of connecting via the provider API (#1126)
+- Fixed **HAR capture missing API requests** under heavy traffic by increasing the CDP broadcast buffer from 256 to 4096 events, reducing the drain interval from 500ms to 100ms, and enabling network tracking in cross-origin iframes (#1135)
+
+### Tests
+
+- Fixed **`e2e_relaunch_on_options_change`** launching headed Chrome on CI where no display is available. The test now stays headless and only changes extensions to trigger the relaunch (#996)
+- Fixed **`e2e_auth_login`** flake by reducing the SPA render delay from 1200ms to 800ms, giving more headroom within the selector wait window on slower CI runners
