Subject: [PATCH] Remove BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID requirement (#625)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

* Remove BROWSERBASE_PROJECT_ID requirement

The Browserbase API no longer requires a project ID to create sessions —
it is inferred from the API key. Remove the env var requirement from both
the TypeScript daemon and Rust CLI, and update docs accordingly.

* Remove unnecessary Content-Type header since no body is sent
