Fixes#992
When a JavaScript dialog (alert/confirm/prompt) blocks the page, agents
had no way to detect it — all commands just timed out with generic errors.
- Add `dialog status` command to check for pending dialogs
- Track dialog state via CDP Page.javascriptDialogOpening/Closed events
- Auto-inject `warning` field into all command responses when a dialog is
pending, so agents can distinguish dialog-blocked timeouts from other issues
- Document dialog commands in SKILL.md (was missing entirely), README.md,
docs site, and --help output

Navigate with load, then wait for username/password/submit selectors using the default action timeout. This avoids networkidle hangs on pages with continuous background requests.
Add dedicated documentation pages for each cloud browser provider:
Browser Use, Browserbase, Browserless, and Kernel (sorted
alphabetically). Uses providers/ path per maintainer feedback.
- Fix Kernel defaults to match source code (KERNEL_HEADLESS=true,
KERNEL_STEALTH=false) — README had these inverted
- Add Providers section to sidebar navigation
- Simplify cdp-mode cloud providers section to link to new pages

Move JS metadata exports out of page.mdx files into per-directory
layout.tsx files. MDX files now contain pure markdown content, making
them render cleanly on GitHub without visible JS import/export lines.
No content changes — only the metadata mechanism is relocated.

Adds a new `agent-browser upgrade` command that automatically detects the installation method (npm, Homebrew, or Cargo) and runs the appropriate update command.
**Changes:**
- Added new `upgrade.rs` module with upgrade logic
- Updated `main.rs` to handle the `upgrade` command
- Added upgrade help text in `output.rs`
- Updated README.md and documentation with upgrade instructions
- Updated SKILL.md to mention the upgrade command
**Implementation details:**
- Fetches latest version from npm registry to show version diff
- Auto-detects installation method by checking Homebrew, Cargo paths, and npm global packages
- Provides fallback instructions if installation method cannot be determined
- Uses existing color module for consistent styled output
- Gracefully handles network failures and continues with upgrade
Fixes#895
* Add iframe support for CLI interactions and snapshots
This PR adds comprehensive iframe support to the agent browser CLI, allowing users to interact with elements inside iframes seamlessly.
## Problem
Users couldn't interact with elements inside iframes via the command line. The existing `frame` command was non-functional as it set `active_frame_id` but no other code read this value.
## Changes Made
### Enhanced Frame Context Tracking
- Added `frame_id` field to `RefEntry` to track which frame each element reference belongs to
- Updated `RefMap::add` and related methods to accept and store frame context
- Modified element resolution functions to use frame context from ref entries
### Improved Frame Command
- Fixed the existing `frame` command to actually work by threading `active_frame_id` through snapshot operations
- Added support for iframe element references (e.g., `frame @e2`) in addition to CSS selectors
- Enhanced frame detection to work with both named frames and iframe elements
### Updated Snapshot Behavior
- Modified `take_snapshot` to accept optional frame context parameter
- Updated all snapshot call sites to pass appropriate frame context
- Maintained backward compatibility while enabling frame-scoped operations
### Element Resolution Updates
- Updated `resolve_element_center` and `resolve_element_object_id` to use frame context from ref entries
- Modified `find_node_id_by_role_name` to support frame-specific element lookup
- Ensured all interaction functions work correctly within iframe contexts
## Implementation Details
- Frame context is now properly propagated through the entire element interaction pipeline
- The `frame` command can accept both CSS selectors and element references
- All existing functionality remains intact while adding iframe capabilities
- Added `Iframe` to interactive roles for better element discovery
Fixes#863
* docs: add iframe support documentation
Document the new iframe capabilities across all documentation surfaces:
- Auto-inlining of iframe content in snapshots
- Direct interaction with iframe element refs
- frame command support for element refs (@e3)
- Scoped snapshots via frame switching
* fix: pass active frame context to diff snapshots and fix nameless iframe lookup
- handle_diff_snapshot now respects active_frame_id instead of always
passing None, so diff snapshots work correctly inside iframes
- Nameless/id-less iframes now fall back to src URL (or null) instead of
the literal string 'frame' which never matched any frame in the tree
* fix: resolve iframe frame ID via DOM.describeNode and reduce code duplication
- handle_frame: Use DOM.describeNode + contentDocument.frameId to resolve
iframe frame IDs directly, fixing failures for nameless iframes that
lack name/id/src attributes
- element.rs: Deduplicate add() by delegating to add_with_frame()
- snapshot.rs: Guard against out-of-bounds insert_str when iframe marker
is on the last line without a trailing newline

Expose HAR recording as a CLI subcommand under the existing `network`
command so users can capture and export network traffic without a
separate tool or opening the browser twice.
- Parse `network har start` and `network har stop [path]` in commands.rs
- Enrich HarEntry with request/response headers, timestamps, status text,
resource type, HTTP version, and body sizes from CDP events
- Produce HAR 1.2 output with creator/browser metadata, query strings,
and proper header arrays compatible with Chrome DevTools HAR viewer
- Auto-generate output path under ~/.agent-browser/tmp/har/ when omitted
- Add har_stop to skip_launch list so export works without a live browser
- Update help text, README, docs site, SKILL.md, and security policy docs
- Add unit tests for parsing, HAR entry serialization, and stop behavior
* feat: add screenshot output config, clipboard CLI commands, and fix wait --text native path
## Summary
- Add `--screenshot-dir`, `--screenshot-quality`, and `--screenshot-format` CLI flags (with corresponding `AGENT_BROWSER_SCREENSHOT_DIR`, `AGENT_BROWSER_SCREENSHOT_QUALITY`, `AGENT_BROWSER_SCREENSHOT_FORMAT` env vars) so users can configure where and how screenshots are saved without specifying a full path every time
- Add `clipboard read`, `clipboard write <text>`, `clipboard copy`, and `clipboard paste` CLI commands, exposing the existing protocol-level clipboard handlers that were previously only accessible via JSON-RPC
- Fix `wait --text` in native mode: the CLI was emitting `selector: "text=..."` (a Playwright-style locator) which native's `querySelector` can't handle. Now emits a `text` field that correctly hits the native `wait_for_text` polling path
- Add native clipboard `copy` and `paste` support via CDP `Input.dispatchKeyEvent`, and a `write` operation to the Node.js handler
* fix: resolve CI failures in Rust formatting and TypeScript typecheck
Use string-based page.evaluate for clipboard writeText to avoid
referencing `navigator` in Node.js compilation context. Run cargo fmt
to fix formatting in commands.rs and screenshot.rs.
* fix: clipboard write captures full multi-word text
Use rest[1..].join(" ") instead of rest.get(1) so unquoted multi-word
input like `clipboard write hello world` sends the full string rather
than silently dropping everything after the first word.

* Update readme
* Fix env variable name in readme
* Cleanup session stop urls when errors happen
* Fix browserlessStopUrl not being assigned in happy path
* 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
Updates the skills documentation to include the missing `vercel-sandbox` skill that was missing from both the available skills list and installation commands.
## Changes
- Added `vercel-sandbox` skill to the Available Skills list with description
- Added installation command for `vercel-sandbox` skill
- Added dedicated section for `vercel-sandbox` with key features and usage details
- Removed duplicate paragraph in the electron section
The `vercel-sandbox` skill enables running agent-browser + headless Chrome inside ephemeral Vercel Sandbox microVMs with features like snapshot startup, persistent workflows, and automatic OIDC authentication.

* fix: correct screenshot test assertion to check path instead of base64
The daemon returns { path: savePath } for screenshot commands, not base64.
* fix: cross-platform Chrome detection and gitignore hardening
- Replace hardcoded macOS Chrome path with findLocalChrome() that
searches common paths on macOS, Linux, and WSL, with a clear error
message when no Chrome is found.
- Add .env and .env*.local to .gitignore to prevent accidental
secret commits.

* add security hardening features
- Add authentication vault (`auth save/login/list/show/delete`) so credentials are stored locally and never exposed to the LLM (fixes Snyk W007)
- Add `--content-boundaries` flag to wrap page-sourced output in structural markers, helping LLMs distinguish tool output from untrusted page content (fixes Snyk W011)
- Add `--allowed-domains` flag to restrict browser navigation to trusted domains
- Add `--action-policy` for static allow/deny gating of action categories, with opt-in `--confirm-actions`/`--confirm-interactive` for orchestrator or human-in-the-loop confirmation
- Add `--max-output` flag to truncate large page outputs, preventing context flooding
- New docs page at /security, updated README, SKILL.md, CLI help text, and templates

* add --selector flag to scroll command
The `scroll` command uses `window.scrollBy()`, which has no effect on apps
that use custom scrollable containers (e.g. a nested div with overflow-y: auto).
The backend `handleScroll` already supports a `selector` parameter, but the CLI
never exposed it. This adds `-s` / `--selector` to the `scroll` command so users
can target a specific scrollable element:
agent-browser scroll down 500 --selector "div.scroll-container"
Also fixes the backend to apply `direction`/`amount` when a selector is present
(previously those fields were only used in the no-selector branch).
Closes#501
* fixes
* feat: add --download-path option
Adds a `--download-path` flag (and `AGENT_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD_PATH` env / `downloadPath` config key) to set a default download directory for browser downloads.
Without this, Playwright stores downloads in a temp directory that is deleted when the browser closes. The new option passes through to Playwright's `downloadsPath` on `launch()` and `launchPersistentContext()`.
Fixes#507
* improvements
* fixes
* fixes
Adds `keyboard type` and `keyboard insertText` subcommands that
operate on the currently focused element without requiring a selector.
Essential for contenteditable editors (Lexical, ProseMirror, CodeMirror,
Monaco) where `type <selector>` doesn't trigger the editor's internal
event pipeline (beforeinput/DOM mutation).
- `keyboard type <text>` — page.keyboard.type() with real keystrokes
- `keyboard insertText <text>` — page.keyboard.insertText()
Note: `keyboard press` intentionally omitted — the existing top-level
`press` command already operates on current focus.

Fixes#519. Playwright defaults `colorScheme` to `light` on all new contexts, overriding the browser/OS dark mode setting. This is especially disruptive in CDP mode, where every reconnection resets the scheme. The `set media dark` command also didn't persist its choice to new tabs or pages.
- Add `--color-scheme <dark|light|no-preference>` flag, config key (`colorScheme`), and env var (`AGENT_BROWSER_COLOR_SCHEME`)
- Store the preference in `BrowserManager` and automatically apply it to all new contexts (via Playwright's context option) and all new pages (via `page.emulateMedia` in `setupPageTracking`)
- `set media dark/light` now also persists its choice for subsequent pages and tabs
* feat: Enable capture of profiling data
Adding a new set of commands:
```
agent-browser profiler start
agent-browser profiler stop trace.json
```
With this, agents can start a profiling trace, perform a set of actions, and then extract the profiling data for analysis.
**Note:** I was originally going to call it `agent-browser profile` but I realized that might cause confusion with the `--profile` flag
CDP supports a couple commands for starting/stopping a trace.
When a trace is running, it emits events that need to be picked up.
We store these locally in the daemon until the trace is completed.
When the final event is received, we dump all of them into an output file.
That file can be loaded directly into chrome devtools or another analysis tool to visualize what happened during the agentic run.
Added some basic rust tests for parsing the commands (since they have some optional / required args)
TS daemon adds ~6 tests to make sure the profiling lifecycle (including saving the output file) works as intended
