feat(profile): --profile auto + stop steering users into temp-profile launches
Addresses the footgun raised in issue #1 follow-up: plain `--launch` silently uses a temporary EMPTY profile (no cookies/login), and the connect-failure error even recommended it — trapping agents into thinking they reused the logged-in browser when they didn't. - `--profile auto`: resolves to the Chrome profile last used (from Local State `profile.last_used`), falling back to "Default", then the first profile. So `--launch --profile auto open <url>` reuses real login state without naming the profile. (--profile <name>/Default already worked.) - connect-failure error now recommends `--launch --profile auto` and states plainly that bare `--launch` is a temporary EMPTY profile — no cookies/login. - bare `--launch` (no --profile, not CI) now prints a warning to that effect. - README: fix Setup (relaunch with --remote-debugging-port, not chrome://inspect) and split Standalone mode into throwaway vs. keep-your-login (`--profile auto`). Tests: resolve_chrome_profile("auto") prefers last_used, falls back to Default.

The agent operates in your Chrome — you'll see tabs opening, pages loading, clicks happening in real time. You can take over at any point (e.g. solve a CAPTCHA), then let the agent continue.

### Standalone mode (`--launch`)

If you need a separate browser (CI, testing, etc.):
|
||||
Spawn a separate browser instead of attaching to your running Chrome:
|
||||
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
# Throwaway: fresh, EMPTY profile — no cookies, no login (good for CI/testing)
|
||||
agent-browser --launch open https://example.com
|
||||
|
||||
# Keep your login: launch with your real Chrome profile (cookies/sessions intact)
|
||||
agent-browser --launch --profile auto open https://x.com/home
|
||||
# or name it explicitly: --profile Default / --profile "Profile 1"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
> ⚠️ Plain `--launch` (no `--profile`) uses a **temporary empty profile** — you will
|
||||
> NOT be logged into anything. For logged-in sites use `--profile auto` (picks the
|
||||
> Chrome profile you used most recently) or `--profile <name>`. agent-browser prints
|
||||
> a warning when you `--launch` without a profile.
|
||||
|
||||
In CI environments, standalone mode is used automatically.
