 # Changelog
 
+## v0.23.2
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 30, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Dashboard session creation** - Sessions can now be created directly from the dashboard UI. A new session dialog provides a unified selector grid for local engines (Chrome, Lightpanda) and cloud providers (Browserbase, Browserless, Browser Use, Kernel) with async creation, loading state, and error display (#1092)
+- **Dashboard provider icons** - The session sidebar now shows the provider or engine icon for each session, making it easy to identify which backend a session is using (#1092)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **Browser Use** provider using an intermediate API call instead of connecting directly via WSS, which caused connection failures (#1092)
+- Fixed **Browserbase** provider not sending an explicit JSON body and `Content-Type` header, causing session creation to fail (#1092)
+- Fixed **provider navigation** hanging because `wait_for_lifecycle` waited for page load events that remote providers may not emit. Navigation with `--provider` now automatically sets `waitUntil=none` (#1092)
+- Fixed **remote CDP connections** timing out by increasing the CDP connect timeout from 10s to 25s for cloud providers (#1092)
+- Fixed **zombie daemon processes** not being cleaned up when a provider connection fails during session creation from the dashboard (#1092)
+
+---
+
+## v0.23.1
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 30, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Auto-dismissal for alert and beforeunload dialogs** - JavaScript `alert()` and `beforeunload` dialogs are now automatically accepted to prevent the agent from blocking indefinitely. `confirm` and `prompt` dialogs still require explicit `dialog accept/dismiss` commands. Disable with `--no-auto-dialog` flag or `AGENT_BROWSER_NO_AUTO_DIALOG` environment variable (#1075)
+- **Puppeteer browser cache fallback** - Chrome discovery now searches `~/.cache/puppeteer/chrome/` (or `PUPPETEER_CACHE_DIR`) for Chrome binaries, so users with an existing Puppeteer installation can use agent-browser without a separate install step (#1088)
+- **Console output improvements** - `console.log` of objects now shows the actual object preview (e.g. `{userId: "abc", count: 42}`) instead of `"Object"`. JSON output includes a raw `args` array for programmatic access (#1040)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **same-document navigation** (e.g. SPA hash routing) hanging forever because `wait_for_lifecycle` waited for a `Page.loadEventFired` that never fires on same-document navigations (#1059)
+- Fixed **save_state** only capturing cookies and localStorage for the current origin, silently dropping cross-domain data (e.g. SSO/CAS auth cookies). Now uses `Network.getAllCookies` and collects localStorage from all visited origins (#1064)
+- Fixed **externally opened tabs** not appearing in `tab list` when using `--cdp` mode. Tabs opened by the user or another CDP client are now detected and tracked (#1042)
+- Fixed **dashboard server** not picking up installed files without a restart. `dashboard install` now takes effect immediately on a running server (#1066)
+- Fixed **Windows Chrome extraction** failing because zip path normalization used forward slashes while the extraction code expected backslashes (#1088)
+
+---
+
+## v0.23.0
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 27, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Observability dashboard** - Added a local web UI (`dashboard`) that shows live browser viewports, command activity feeds, console output, network requests, storage, and extensions for all sessions. Manage it with `dashboard start`, `dashboard stop`, and `dashboard install`. The dashboard runs as a standalone background process and all sessions stream to it automatically (#1034)
+
+```bash
+agent-browser dashboard install
+agent-browser dashboard start
+agent-browser open example.com    # session appears in dashboard
+agent-browser dashboard stop
+```
+
+- **Runtime stream management** - Added `stream enable`, `stream disable`, and `stream status` commands to control WebSocket streaming at runtime. Streaming is now always enabled by default; `AGENT_BROWSER_STREAM_PORT` overrides the port instead of toggling the feature (#951)
+- **Close all sessions** - Added `close --all` flag to close every active browser session at once
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **Lightpanda engine** compatibility (#1050)
+- Fixed **Windows daemon TCP bind** failing when Hyper-V reserves the port by falling back to an OS-assigned port and writing it to a `.port` file (#1041)
+- Fixed **Windows dashboard relay** using Unix socket instead of TCP (#1038)
+- Fixed **radio/checkbox elements** being dropped from compact snapshot tree because the `ref=` check required a leading `[` that those elements lack (#1008)
+
+---
+
+## v0.22.3
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 25, 2026</p>
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Re-apply download behavior on recording context** - Fixed an issue where downloads were silently dropped in recording contexts because `Browser.setDownloadBehavior` set at launch only applied to the default context. The download behavior is now re-applied when a new recording context is created (#1019)
+- **Reap zombie Chrome process and fast-detect crash for auto-restart** - Added a non-blocking process-exit check before attempting CDP connection checks. This prevents a 3-second CDP timeout when Chrome has already crashed or exited, enabling faster detection and auto-restart of the browser (#1023)
+- **Route keyboard `type` through text input** - Fixed keyboard `type` subaction to correctly route through the text input handler, and added support for an `insertText` subaction using `Input.insertText` (#1014)
+- **Handle `--clear` flag in `console` command** - Fixed the `console` command to accept and process a `clear` parameter, allowing console event history to be cleared (#1015)
+
+---
+
+## v0.22.2
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 24, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Dialog status command** - Added `dialog status` command to check whether a JavaScript dialog is currently open (#999)
+- **Dialog warning field** - Command responses now include a `warning` field when a JavaScript dialog is pending, indicating the dialog type and message (#999)
+
+### Improvements
+
+- **Standard proxy environment variables** - The proxy setting now automatically falls back to standard environment variables (`HTTP_PROXY`, `HTTPS_PROXY`, `ALL_PROXY`, and their lowercase variants), with `NO_PROXY`/`no_proxy` respected for bypass rules (#1000)
+- **Font packages for `--with-deps`** - Installing with `--with-deps` now includes CJK and emoji font packages on Linux (Debian, RPM, and yum-based distros) to prevent missing glyphs when rendering international content (#1002)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed `state show` always failing with "Missing 'path' parameter" due to a mismatched JSON field name (#994)
+- Fixed `console` command returning only `Done` due to a JSON field name mismatch in the response (#986)
+- Fixed browser-domain CDP events being dropped during downloads due to a `sessionId` mismatch (#998)
+- Fixed proxy authentication by handling credentials via the CDP `Fetch.authRequired` event rather than passing them inline (#1000)
+
+---
+
+## v0.22.1
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 24, 2026</p>
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **modifier key chords** (e.g. `Control+a`, `Shift+Enter`, `Control+Shift+a`) not being handled correctly when using `press`. Modifier keys are now parsed and forwarded as CDP modifier bitmasks rather than treated as part of the key name (#980)
+- Fixed **query parameters being dropped** from `--cdp` HTTP URLs (e.g. `http://host:9222?mode=Hello`). Query strings are now preserved and forwarded to the remote CDP endpoint (#982)
+
+---
+
+## v0.22.0
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 23, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **Cross-origin iframe support** - Added support for snapshots and interactions within cross-origin iframes via `Target.setAutoAttach` (#949)
+- **Network request detail and filtering** - Added `network request <requestId>` command to view full request/response detail, and new filtering options for `network requests` including `--type` (e.g. `xhr,fetch`), `--method` (e.g. `POST`), and `--status` (e.g. `2xx`, `400-499`) (#935)
+
+```bash
+agent-browser network requests --type xhr,fetch --method POST
+agent-browser network request <requestId>
+```
+
+### Improvements
+
+- **Snapshot usability** - Reduced AI cognitive load by filtering semantic noise from snapshot output; cursor-interactive elements are now included by default, making the `-C` flag unnecessary (#968)
+- **Upgrade command** - Improved robustness of installation method detection in the upgrade command (#960)
+- **Target tracking** - Enhanced target tracking and page information handling for more reliable browser session management (#969)
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- Fixed **viewport dimensions** being reported incorrectly in streaming status messages and screencast (#952)
+- Fixed **`find` command** flags such as `--exact` and `--name` leaking into fill values when used with fill actions (#955)
+- Fixed **state commands** incorrectly starting the daemon when no `session_name` is provided (#677, #964)
+- Fixed **auto-connect** triggering when the daemon is already running, preventing duplicate connections (#971)
+- Fixed **Enter key press** not working by adding a text field to `keyDown` events (#972)
+- Fixed **download command** to properly handle absolute paths and correctly click target elements (#970)
+
+### Breaking Changes
+
+- The `-C` / `--cursor` flag for `snapshot` is deprecated; cursor-interactive elements are now included by default and the flag has no additional effect (#968)
+
+---
+
+## v0.21.4
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 20, 2026</p>
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Auth login readiness** - `agent-browser auth login` now navigates with `load`, waits for usable login form selectors, and uses staged username detection (targeted email/username selectors first, then broad text-input fallback). This reduces SPA timing failures, avoids false matches on unrelated text fields, and prevents `networkidle` hangs on pages with continuous background requests.
+
+---
+
+## v0.21.3
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 20, 2026</p>
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **WebSocket keepalive for remote browsers** - Added WebSocket Ping frames and TCP `SO_KEEPALIVE` to prevent CDP connections from being silently dropped by intermediate proxies during idle periods (#936)
+- **XPath selector support** - Fixed element resolution to correctly handle the `xpath=` selector prefix (#908)
+
+### Performance
+
+- **Fast-path for identical snapshots** - Short-circuits the Myers diff algorithm when comparing a snapshot to itself, avoiding unnecessary computation in retry and loop workloads (#922)
+
+---
+
+## v0.21.2
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 18, 2026</p>
+
+### Bug Fixes
+
+- **Deduplicate text content in snapshots** - Fixed an issue where duplicate text content appeared in page snapshots (#909)
+- **Native mouse drag state** - Fixed incorrect raw native mouse drag state not being properly tracked across `down`, `move`, and `up` events (#872)
+- **Chrome headless launch failures** - Fixed browser launch failures caused by the `--enable-unsafe-swiftshader` flag in Chrome headless mode (#915)
+- **Origin-scoped `--headers` persistence** - Restored correct persistence of origin-scoped headers set via `--headers` across navigation commands (#894)
+- **Relative URLs in WebSocket domain filter** - Fixed handling of relative URLs in the WebSocket domain filter script (#624)
+
+---
+
+## v0.21.1
+
+<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 18, 2026</p>
+
+### New Features
+
+- **HAR 1.2 network capture** - Added commands to capture and export network traffic in HAR 1.2 format, including accurate request/response timing, headers, body sizes, and resource types sourced from Chrome DevTools Protocol events (#864)
+- **Built-in `upgrade` command** - Added `agent-browser upgrade` to self-update the CLI; automatically detects your installation method (npm, Homebrew, or Cargo) and runs the appropriate update command (#898)
+
+```bash
+agent-browser upgrade
+```
