The JSON-array branch of parse_curl_cookies dropped every field except
name/value, so importing a full cookie export (httpOnly session tokens,
per-domain cookies spanning multiple hosts, secure/sameSite/expiry) could
not reconstruct a usable auth state — a single --domain override cannot
cover an export that spans .chatgpt.com, .openai.com, etc.
Pass through url/domain/path/secure/httpOnly/sameSite/expires when present,
accepting common aliases from DevTools / EditThisCookie exports
(http_only, same_site, no_restriction, expirationDate). Bare {name,value}
exports are unchanged. Added a round-trip test.

- invalid CSS selector now errors "Invalid selector '<sel>': <reason>" instead of
the misleading "Element not found" — the coordinate path (resolve_by_selector)
now also inspects exception_details, matching resolve_element_object_id.
- `wait --url ""` is rejected at parse time ("needs a non-empty pattern") rather
than silently matching any URL. Unit test added.
Not changed: verb-less `find role X` defaulting to a click. That default is a
deliberate, tested decision (test_find_role_default_subaction_click_when_no_action);
changing it to locate-and-report is a design choice left to the maintainer.

- wait --url: the arg parser never read `--timeout`, so a non-matching pattern
waited the large default and wedged the daemon. Parse it. Also: matching was a
literal substring (`includes`) so globs never matched — convert `**`/`*`/`?`
globs to an anchored regex. And `poll_until_true` now bounds each probe with a
timeout and tolerates transient navigation errors, so a hung `Runtime.evaluate`
can never block past the deadline (un-wedges the daemon).
- find role <role> [--name]: the query was `[role="X"], X`, which matches a
literal <X> tag / explicit attribute but NOT implicit-role elements — so
`find role link` (<a href>) and `find role heading` (<h1>) never matched. Add a
proper ARIA-role → implicit-element map and broaden accessible-name matching
(aria-label/title/alt/value/text).
- click on a syntactically-invalid selector returned `✓ Done`: querySelector
throws, and Runtime.evaluate returned the thrown DOMException as an objectId
that was clicked as if it were the element. Check exception_details → error.
- output: a title-less page now prints `✓ <url>` instead of an empty title line.
- docs(skill): tab refs are `t2`, not `2` (SKILL.md, electron).
Verified live (isolated launch): wait --url glob matches instantly; non-matching
honors --timeout (2s) and leaves the daemon responsive; find role link/heading
match; invalid selector errors. Unit tests added for the glob + role map + parse.
The fork's CI had never been green. Pre-existing failures:
- version-sync: check-version-sync.js read packages/dashboard/package.json,
which doesn't exist in this fork (workspace is just "."). Drop the dashboard
comparison; check package.json vs cli/Cargo.toml only.
- Dashboard job: `pnpm install --filter dashboard` for a non-existent package.
Remove the job.
- Format check: repo was never `cargo fmt`-clean. Ran cargo fmt (mechanical).
- Clippy -D warnings (newly enforced on Rust 1.94 stable): manual_contains in
commands.rs (.iter().any()->.contains()), question_mark in element.rs
(if-let-Err -> ?), result_large_err on the tungstenite handshake callback in
connect.rs (allow — the Result type is fixed by the accept_hdr_async contract).
- rust-cross: lightpanda::waits_for_ready_without_logs spawns a real process +
binds a socket with timing assumptions; flaky in CI. Marked #[ignore].
Also: skill docs note fork.30's relay-preferred auto-connect (plain
`agent-browser open` is dialog-free once the ab-connect extension is loaded) and
the extension's new "agent-browser-stealth" display name.
- output: a success response with no data payload now prints "Done" instead of
nothing (a silent exit 0 looked like a no-op).
- commands: add top-level aliases for `get` status reads — `url`, `cdp-url`
(and `cdp_url`), `title`, `html`, `text`, `value`, `count`, `box`, `styles`,
`attr` — so `agent-browser url` no longer errors "Unknown command".
- connect errors now explain the Chrome 136+ realities:
- connect-failure mentions the "Allow remote debugging?" consent dialog and
that remote debugging is a startup flag, not a setting.
- no-Chrome error tells the user to relaunch Chrome with
--remote-debugging-port (auto-connect then works).
- --cdp discovery failure explains Chrome 136+ dropped the HTTP discovery
endpoints and to use the default auto-connect instead.
Cherry-picks upstream agent-browser #1396. Adds a configurable
--hide-scrollbars flag (AGENT_BROWSER_HIDE_SCROLLBARS env, hideScrollbars
config key, default true) that appends Chrome's --hide-scrollbars launch arg
for headless (non-extension) launches so native scrollbars aren't painted into
screenshots. Plumbed through flags.rs, connection.rs, main.rs, native/actions.rs
and native/cdp/chrome.rs; help text in output.rs + skill-data.
Fork adaptation:
- the arg lands in the headless && !has_extensions block, separate from the
stealth base args — no interaction with anti-detection.
- dropped upstream docs/, agent-browser.schema.json and README hunks (removed
or rewritten in this fork).
Verified: cargo check --tests passes.
Pairs with the click paint-settle fix: even with that, a thread builder
that clicks "Add post" can race a misbehaving handler that closes the
parent modal instead of mounting the next textbox. To make that case
observable instead of silently corrupting the next inserttext, you can
now write:
click @add-post
wait .modal --gone --timeout 2000 # asserts modal stays mounted
inserttext "tweet 3"
If the modal vanished, `wait --gone` succeeds — flip the assertion to
`wait .modal` (default visible) to fail-fast on disappearance.
Implementation just sets `state: "detached"` (or "hidden") on the wait
command — daemon-side `wait_for_selector` already supported these
states; only the CLI parser was missing the user-facing flag.
Also accepts `--detached` as alias for `--gone` to match the daemon's
internal vocabulary.
Before, `agent-browser find role button --name Submit` errored at the
daemon side with the cryptic `Unknown subaction: --name`. Now it errors
at parse time with the offending flag echoed back, the list of valid
actions (click, fill, check, hover, text), and a "Did you mean" hint
showing where to put the action verb.
Backwards compat: `find role button` (no flags, no action) still
defaults to click — only `--xxx` in action position errors.
* feat(react): first-class React introspection, Web Vitals, and nextjs skill
Add React-general and web-universal features as first-class agent-browser verbs
(react tree/inspect/renders/suspense, vitals, pushstate). Genuinely Next.js-specific
workflows (PPR cookie protocol, /_next/mcp bridge, dev-server endpoints) ship as
a new `nextjs` skill that composes the primitives. No new runtime dependencies -
the React DevTools installHook.js is vendored (MIT) and include_str!'d into the
binary.
New commands:
react tree Full React component tree (depth id parent name)
react inspect <fiberId> Props, hooks, state, source for one fiber
react renders start|stop Fiber profiler with Insts/Mounts/Re-renders/Self/DOM
+ prev->next change details
react suspense Suspense boundaries + classifier (client-hook,
request-api, server-fetch, cache, stream, framework)
+ root-cause grouping + recommendations
vitals [url] LCP/CLS/TTFB/FCP/INP + React hydration phases
pushstate <url> Generic SPA client-side navigation
removeinitscript <id> Remove a script registered via addinitscript
New launch flags:
--init-script <path> Register init scripts before first navigation
(repeatable; env AGENT_BROWSER_INIT_SCRIPTS)
--enable <feature> Built-in init scripts; currently react-devtools
(repeatable; env AGENT_BROWSER_ENABLE)
Other primitives:

* fixes
* fixes
* fixes
* fix(tabs): preserve refs across --tab peek and cover outer-tab-closed path
Follow-up to #1249 so `--tab <id>` is actually useful for agents:
- Save and restore the outer tab's `ref_map`, `iframe_sessions`, and
`active_frame_id` across a scoped command instead of clearing them.
`snapshot` → `--tab N <cmd>` → `click @e1` now keeps the outer tab's
refs intact. Scoped commands still see a clean slate so outer refs
can't resolve against the scoped tab's DOM.
- Close the coverage gap the Vercel review bot flagged on #1249: the
previous `e2e_tab_scoped_command_handles_outer_tab_closed` test used
`tab_close`, which is in the scoped-dispatch exclusion list, so it
never exercised the restore-skip branch it claimed to test. Renamed
to `e2e_tab_close_with_tab_id_closes_active_tab` with an honest
docstring, and added `e2e_tab_scoped_command_outer_tab_closed_mid_dispatch`
that actually hits the branch via `window.opener.close()` on a
script-opened intermediate tab.
- Add `e2e_tab_scoped_command_isolates_refs_from_outer_tab` pinning
that outer refs don't bleed into the scoped tab's DOM resolution.
- Rewrite `e2e_tab_scoped_command_clears_state_on_switch` as
`e2e_tab_scoped_command_preserves_outer_tab_state`, verifying the
restored @e1 still clicks end-to-end.
- Update the 52 `--help` entries for `--tab <id>` to describe peek /
restore semantics instead of a vague "Target specific tab ID".
- Update README, docs site, config schema, and the agent-facing
skills reference with working examples (refs survive the peek) and
a "when to use \`--tab <id>\` vs \`tab <id>\`" guide so agents pick
the right flag for their workflow.
* fix(tabs): use t<N> prefix for tab ids, add --label for named tabs
Follow-on to the tab work in #1249 and the prior commit, redesigning the
tab handle surface before release since nothing ships these features yet.
## Why
Incrementing integer tab ids (`1`, `2`, `3`) look indistinguishable from
positional indices in command output, LLM-generated scripts, and docs. In
the common single-agent case where position and id coincide, readers have
no visual cue for which mental model they're using. Positional indices
silently shift when unrelated tabs open/close, so misreading a handle as
an index is a correctness hazard.
## Changes
**Tab ids are now `t1`, `t2`, `t3` (strings).** Bare integer `tabId`
values are rejected with a teaching message rather than silently accepted.
The `t` prefix matches the `@e1` element-ref convention and makes ids
unmistakably non-positional at a glance.
**Labels.** Tabs can be created with a user-assigned label (e.g. `docs`,
`app`) via `tab new --label <name> [url]`. Labels are interchangeable
with `t<N>` ids everywhere a tab ref is accepted. They're never
auto-generated, never rewritten on navigation, and must be unique within
a session.
**Dashboard fix.** `packages/dashboard/src/types.ts` declared
`TabInfo.index: number` but the daemon has been sending `tabId` (not
`index`) since #892, making `tab.index` `undefined` and breaking the
dashboard's close/switch buttons silently. Updated the TS types and
usages to consume `tabId` (string) and optional `label`, restoring the
dashboard's tab interactions.
## Surface
- `cli/src/native/browser.rs`: `TabRef::parse` / `format_tab_id` /
`is_valid_label` / `PageInfo.label` / `BrowserManager::resolve_tab_ref`
/ `BrowserManager::has_label`. `tab_new` gains an optional label
argument with duplicate rejection. All JSON responses use the string
form and include the label.
- `cli/src/native/actions.rs`: scoped-command pre-dispatch and
`handle_tab_{switch,close,new}` parse string refs and resolve to
stable ids.
- `cli/src/{flags,commands,main,output}.rs`: `--tab` / config `tab`
are `String`; `tab` subcommand accepts `t<N>` or a label and supports
`tab new --label <name> [url]`. All 52 `--help` entries updated.
- `agent-browser.schema.json`: `tab` property type is now `string` with
a pattern matching `t<N>` or label form.
- `packages/dashboard`: `TabInfo.tabId: string` / `label?: string | null`;
`closeTabAtom`/`switchTabAtom` take `tabRef: string`; component props
updated.
- Docs: README, docs site (`commands/` and `configuration/`), and the
agent-facing skills reference rewritten with the new examples.
## Tests
- Added `TabRef::parse` / `format_tab_id` / `is_valid_label` unit tests
pinning the bare-integer rejection, the teaching error, label rules,
and round-tripping.
- Added `test_tab_switch_by_id` / `_by_label` / `test_tab_new_with_label`
/ `_with_label_and_url` / `_with_url_then_label` in `commands.rs`;
rewrote `test_tab_unknown_subcommand_errors` since labels make
`tab select` a legitimate ref.
- Added `e2e_tab_new_with_label_can_be_switched_and_peeked`,
`e2e_tab_new_with_duplicate_label_errors`,
`e2e_tab_scoped_command_rejects_bare_integer`.
- Migrated every existing tab e2e test (and one unit test) from
integer `tabId` to the string form.
`cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy -- -D warnings`, all 30 non-ignored tab unit
tests, all 13 tab e2e tests, and `tsc --noEmit` on the dashboard all
pass.
* refactor(tabs): drop --tab scoped peek flag; keep t<N> ids and labels
After fleshing out `--tab <id|label>` in the previous commits (scoped
pre/post-dispatch save/restore, ref preservation, outer-tab-closed edge
case, full e2e coverage), the machinery-to-value ratio makes the feature
hard to justify. Nixing it now while nothing has shipped.
## Why
- Every new daemon feature touching per-tab state has to reason about
scoped-dispatch interleaving. `ScopedRestore`, pre/post-dispatch hooks,
and the exclusion list add ongoing maintenance tax.
- Three separate PRs (#892, #1249, and this one pre-nix) were needed to
reach "works correctly." That's a smell.
- `tab <id|label>` switch + labels already cover the legible multi-tab
workflow case.
- `--tab` vs `tab <id>` have opposite lifecycle semantics but look
identical, teaching every agent two things where one would do.
- "Non-disruptive peek" isn't actually race-free: the daemon does swap
active tab during execution, so a concurrent client between pre- and
post-dispatch sees the scoped tab as active.
- Ref-based interaction with scoped tabs never worked ergonomically —
refs are per-tab, so `--tab N click @e1` requires `@e1` to already be
on tab N, which means a prior switch, which negates the peek.
- Adding a feature back is easy; removing shipped API is hard.
If per-tab caching (`HashMap<tab_id, RefMap>`) lands later, `--tab` can
be reintroduced essentially for free. That's the right time.
## Removed
- `--tab <id|label>` global flag (`cli/src/flags.rs`, `cli/src/main.rs`,
all 52 `--help` entries in `cli/src/output.rs`).
- `tab` property in `agent-browser.schema.json` and the config-options
row in `docs/src/app/configuration/page.mdx`.
- `ScopedRestore` struct, pre/post-dispatch save/restore in
`execute_command` (`cli/src/native/actions.rs`).
- `impl Default for RefMap` in `cli/src/native/element.rs` (only added
for `mem::take` in the scoped machinery).
- `e2e_tab_global_targeting`, `_snapshot`, `_snapshot_non_contiguous`,
`e2e_tab_scoped_command_preserves_outer_tab_state`,
`_isolates_refs_from_outer_tab`, `_restores_active_tab`,
`_outer_tab_closed_mid_dispatch`. 590 lines.
- The "When to use `--tab` vs `tab <id|label>`" sections in README,
docs site, and skills reference.
## Kept
- Stable tab ids (`t1`, `t2`, `t3`) with bare-integer rejection.
- User-assigned labels (`tab new --label docs [url]`), with duplicate
rejection and interchangeable use everywhere a tab ref is accepted.
- `BrowserManager::{active_tab_id, has_tab_id, resolve_tab_ref, has_label}`
accessors (still used by the remaining tab handlers).
- `TabRef::parse`, `format_tab_id`, `is_valid_label` and their unit
tests.
- Dashboard TS fix (`TabInfo.tabId` + `label`).
- `e2e_tab_close_with_tab_id_closes_active_tab` (renamed docstring to
drop the gone exclusion-list reference).
- `e2e_tab_new_with_label_can_be_switched_and_closed` (rewrite of the
previous `_and_peeked` test — now exercises only switch and close).
- `e2e_tab_switch_rejects_bare_integer` (rewrite targeting the
`tab_switch` daemon handler rather than the removed scoped path).
net: -900 lines across 12 files. `cargo fmt`, `cargo clippy -D warnings`,
all 25 non-ignored tab unit tests, all 6 tab e2e tests, and
`tsc --noEmit` on the dashboard all pass.
Introduces stable per-tab IDs and a global `--tab <id>` flag for scoping individual commands to a specific tab.
Breaking change: response payloads for `tab_list`, `tab_new`, `tab_switch`, `tab_close`, and `window_new` now use `tabId` instead of `index`. `tab_close` returns `{tabId, closed: true}` instead of `{closed, activeIndex}`. `agent-browser tab <unknown>` now errors instead of silently listing tabs.
Follow-up PR to land immediately after this fixes a compile error on the provider direct-page path, clears per-tab daemon state around scoped switches, and implements active-tab restoration so `--tab N` is non-intrusive as intended.
* fix(cli): honor AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT env var for wait commands
The `AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` environment variable was being ignored by CLI wait commands, causing them to use hardcoded 30-second timeouts instead of the configured default.
## Changes Made
- **Centralized timeout injection**: Modified `parse_command()` to automatically inject `flags.default_timeout` into any wait-family command that doesn't already have an explicit `--timeout` flag
- **Environment variable parsing**: Added `default_timeout` field to `Flags` struct that reads from `AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT` env var
- **Daemon propagation**: Updated daemon spawning to pass through the default timeout via environment variables
- **Unified timeout handling**: Added `timeout_ms()` helper method in `DaemonState` that all wait handlers now use instead of scattered `unwrap_or()` calls
- **Comprehensive test coverage**: Added 10 regression tests covering all wait command variants and edge cases
## Implementation Details
The fix uses a two-stage approach:
1. CLI parses the env var and injects timeout values into command JSON for any `wait*` action
2. Daemon reads the env var and provides a centralized fallback via `timeout_ms()` helper
This ensures new wait variants automatically inherit the default timeout without requiring per-variant wiring.
Fixes#1147
* fix: preserve 30s default timeout for backward compatibility
The default_timeout_ms fallback was set to 25_000ms, which silently
changes the existing 30_000ms behavior for users who haven't set
AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT. Restore the original 30s default.

Add provider icons and session creation from the dashboard UI.
Sessions can now be created with cloud providers (Browserbase,
Browserless, Browser Use, Kernel) in addition to local engines.
CLI changes:
- Track provider via .provider files alongside .engine files
- Add WaitUntil::None variant to skip lifecycle event waits for providers

- Add connect_cdp_direct for providers with page-level CDP proxies
- Fix resolve_cdp_url to convert https:// provider URLs to wss://
- Treat empty CDP session_id as None (omit from protocol messages)
- Fix Browserbase: send explicit JSON body + Content-Type header
- Increase CDP connect timeout to 25s for remote providers
- Clean up .provider files on session close
Dashboard changes:
- Show provider or engine icon per session in sidebar
- New session dialog with unified engine/provider selector grid
- Async session creation with loading state and error display
- Kill zombie daemons on provider connection failure
- Parse CLI JSON error output for user-friendly messages
- Default new session URL to https://agent-browser.dev
* Add auto-dismissal for alert and beforeunload dialogs
This PR adds automatic handling of JavaScript dialogs to prevent the agent from blocking indefinitely when `alert()` or `beforeunload` dialogs appear on web pages.
## Summary
Previously, when a website displayed native browser confirmation dialogs (like alerts or "Are you sure you want to leave?" prompts), agent-browser would hang waiting for manual intervention. This is a common issue since many websites use these dialogs for notifications or navigation warnings.
## Changes Made
- **Auto-dismiss functionality**: Added a background task that automatically accepts `alert` and `beforeunload` dialogs while leaving `confirm` and `prompt` dialogs for explicit handling
- **New flag**: Added `--no-auto-dialog` flag to disable automatic handling when needed
- **Environment variable**: Added `AGENT_BROWSER_NO_AUTO_DIALOG` for configuration
- **Documentation**: Updated README and docs with usage examples and configuration details
- **Tests**: Added comprehensive test coverage for flag parsing and dialog handling logic
## Implementation Details
- Only `alert` (notification-only) and `beforeunload` (navigation warning) dialogs are auto-handled for safety
- `confirm` and `prompt` dialogs still require explicit `dialog accept/dismiss` commands to ensure agents make deliberate choices for destructive actions
- The feature is enabled by default since these dialog types rarely require user decision-making
- Uses Chrome DevTools Protocol's `Page.handleJavaScriptDialog` for reliable dialog dismissal
Fixes#1070
* Log dialog type and message before auto-dismissal
Without this, auto-dismissed alert/beforeunload dialogs are silently
swallowed and the agent has no way to see what the dialog said. Adding
an eprintln before the CDP call makes the dismissal visible in stderr
for debugging.
* Log dialog dismissal errors instead of silently discarding them
- Remove premature "accepted" from log message since it fires before
the CDP command executes
- Replace `let _ =` with `if let Err(e)` to log failures when
Page.handleJavaScriptDialog fails
- Apply rustfmt to auto-dialog tests

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

* refactor: make --full/-f a command-level flag instead of global
Move --full/-f from global flags (parsed in flags.rs) to command-level
parsing in commands.rs, scoped to the three commands that actually use
it: `screenshot`, `diff screenshot`, and `diff url`.
This frees up `-f` for other commands (e.g. `--follow` on
`console`/`errors`, see #867) and better reflects that full-page
capture is not a global concern.
Changes:
- Remove `full` from Flags struct, Config struct, and global flag parsing
- Remove `--full`/`-f` from clean_args global boolean flags list
- Parse `--full`/`-f` inline in `screenshot` command handler
- Accept `-f` shorthand in `diff screenshot` and `diff url` (previously
only `--full` was accepted at command level)
- Remove fallback from global `flags.full` in diff subcommands
- Update tests to pass --full as a command argument rather than a global flag
Fixes#876
* fix: remove stale AGENT_BROWSER_FULL env var from help and add -f shorthand tests
- Remove AGENT_BROWSER_FULL from help text in output.rs since the env
var is no longer read after moving --full to command-level parsing
- Add test_screenshot_full_page_shorthand to verify screenshot -f works
- Add test_diff_screenshot_command_full_flag_shorthand to verify
diff screenshot -f works

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
Add `batch` command that reads a JSON array of commands from stdin
and executes them sequentially against the daemon. This avoids
per-command process startup overhead when AI agents run multi-step
browser workflows.
Supports --bail to stop on first error (default: continue all)
and --json for structured output as an array of results.

* feat: add --idle-timeout CLI flag for daemon auto-shutdown
Add user-friendly --idle-timeout flag that converts time strings
to milliseconds. Supports formats like '10s', '3m', '1h', or raw ms.
This addresses a common need for ephemeral/CI environments where
daemon processes can be orphaned if not explicitly closed, leading
to resource consumption from zombie chrome-headless-shell processes.

When user explicitly sets --headed false, the CLI was ignoring this
flag because the launch condition only checked if flags.headed was
true. This meant that --headed false would not trigger a launch
command, and subsequent commands would auto-launch with default
headless=true.
The fix adds a cli_headed flag to track when the user explicitly
sets --headed (regardless of value), and includes this in the
launch condition check.
Fixes#743
This PR fixes CI build failures by addressing code formatting and linting issues that were causing the builds to fail.
**Changes made:**
1. **Rust formatting fixes in `cli/src/commands.rs`:**
- Removed unnecessary multi-line formatting for clipboard operations
- Applied consistent single-line formatting for return statements
- Fixed line length and formatting for the `test_wait_text_with_timeout` test function
2. **TypeScript fixes in `src/actions.ts`:**
- Fixed `waitForFunction` usage in the `handleWait` function by replacing the function parameter approach with a string-based implementation
- Properly escaped the text parameter using `JSON.stringify` to prevent potential injection issues
These changes ensure the code passes linting checks (clippy for Rust, ESLint for TypeScript) and formatting validation (rustfmt, prettier) that are enforced in the CI pipeline.
Fixes#751
* 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.

* Fix remaining items_after_test_module clippy warnings
Move functions defined after `mod tests` blocks to before the test
modules in recording.rs and webdriver/client.rs.

* fix: suppress spurious --native warning when set via env var
When AGENT_BROWSER_NATIVE=1 is set via environment variable, every
command after the first would warn:
⚠ --native ignored: daemon already running.
This is a false positive — the daemon was already spawned in native
mode and inherited the env var. The warning should only fire when
--native is explicitly passed on the CLI to an already-running daemon.
Add cli_native flag (consistent with existing cli_* pattern) to
distinguish CLI origin from env var origin.
* fix: add flag to test cfg
* fix: cli_native should track flag presence, not value
--native false on CLI should still warn when daemon is already
running, since the user is explicitly trying to change the mode.
The CLI's URL normalization was auto-prepending https:// to any URL
whose scheme wasn't in the allowlist (http, https, about, data, file).
This caused chrome-extension:// URLs to become
https://chrome-extension//... which fails with ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED,
preventing navigation to extension pages (popup, side panel, options).
Add chrome-extension:// and chrome:// to the open command's scheme
allowlist, and update the record start/restart commands to preserve
any URL that already contains :// instead of only checking for http.
Fixes#409
* 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
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.

The warning "⚠ --annotate only applies to the screenshot command" fires
on every non-screenshot command when annotate is set in config. This is
noisy for users who set it as a persistent default.
Add cli_annotate tracking (matching the existing cli_* pattern) so the
warning only fires when --annotate is passed as a CLI flag.
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

## Summary
- Return a `ParseError` when `--headers` receives invalid JSON instead of silently dropping the headers and proceeding
- Reject `frame` commands that provide no `selector`, `name`, or `url` (previously returned `{ switched: true }` without doing anything)
- Add missing mutual exclusion check for `--cdp` + `--extension` (extensions require a local browser, not a CDP connection)
