chore(release): 0.27.0-fork.35 — embed Store-install + feedback + stale-binary guidance in skill

Ships the post-fork.34 skill updates into the binary's embedded `skills get core`:
- lead extension setup with the one-click Chrome Web Store install
- nudge agents to file UX feedback at the GitHub issues page
- when an agent hits the "Allow remote debugging?" dialog, self-check the version
  and upgrade a stale (<fork.30) build / remove a shadowing npm-pnpm copy
Plus the README opening rewrite (hook-first vs Claude-in-Chrome / web-access /
Playwright) and Chinese README — docs only, ride along.

 Stealth fork of [agent-browser](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) — connects to your real Chrome, shares your login sessions, and is undetectable by anti-bot systems.
 
 For basic usage, commands, and API reference, see the [upstream documentation](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser).
 
+## Give your AI agent the browser you already live in
+
+**No fresh Chrome. No re-login. No "are you a robot?" walls.**
+
+agent-browser-stealth points **any** agent — Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, your own scripts — at the **Chrome you're already signed into everything on**. It clicks in *your* window, so you watch it work and grab the wheel the moment it hits a 2FA prompt or captcha. And because it's literally your real browser (over a one-click extension, native messaging — no debug port), sites read it as 100% human: **[CreepJS scores it 0% bot](#anti-detection).**
+
+**Why not just use…**
+
+- **Playwright / Puppeteer / browser-use?** They boot an *empty* browser — so you redo every login, fight every captcha, and still get flagged as automation. We use the session you already have.
+- **Claude's Chrome extension?** Great, but it only drives Claude. This drives *any* agent or CLI.
+- **A raw `--remote-debugging-port`** (web-access, etc.)? Chrome 136+ pops **"Allow remote debugging?"** on *every* connect. This never does — one-click Store extension, native messaging.

+[agent-browser](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser) 的隐身分支 —— 直接连接**你自己**正在用的、已登录的 Chrome，复用你的登录态，对反爬/反自动化系统**完全不可检测**。
+
+基础用法、命令与 API 参考见[上游文档](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser)。
+
+## 把你**已经登录好**的浏览器，交给你的 AI agent
+
+**不用开新 Chrome。不用重新登录。不用跟"你是不是机器人"较劲。**
+
+agent-browser-stealth 让**任意** agent（Claude Code、Cursor、Codex、你自己的脚本）直接操作你**已经登录了所有网站**的那个 Chrome。它在**你的窗口里**点击，你看着它干活，撞到 2FA / 验证码的瞬间你接管一下，它接着跑。因为它**就是你的真实浏览器**（一键装的扩展、原生消息、无调试端口），网站眼里它 100% 是人：**[CreepJS 实测 0% 机器人](#反检测)。**
+
+**为什么不用……**
+
+- **Playwright / Puppeteer / browser-use？** 它们开的是**空**浏览器 —— 每个登录你重做、每个验证码你硬扛、最后还被标成自动化。我们直接用你**现成的**会话。
+- **Claude 的 Chrome 插件？** 很好，但**只能给 Claude 用**。我们给**任意** agent / CLI 用。
+- **裸 `--remote-debugging-port`**（web-access 等）？ Chrome 136+ **每次连都弹** "Allow remote debugging?"。我们**永不弹** —— 商店一键装，原生消息。

+
+<img src="assets/fingerprint.png" alt="真实但不可检测的指纹" width="300" align="right" />
+
+**agent-browser**（上游）启动的是空 profile 的全新浏览器：你得重新登录，网站也能看出是自动化。
+
+**agent-browser-stealth** 连接你**现有**的 Chrome —— cookies、会话、浏览器指纹全是真的，因为它**就是**你的真实浏览器。
+
+| | agent-browser | agent-browser-stealth |

+| 浏览器 | 启动新 Chrome | 连接你的 Chrome |
+| 登录态 | 空，要重新登 | 你现有的会话 |

+| 协作 | 独立窗口 | 同一窗口，随时接管 |
+| 验证码 | Agent 卡住 | 你点一下，Agent 继续 |
+
+## 工作原理
+
+![工作原理](assets/how-it-works.png)
+
+你的 **agent-browser CLI** 通过 Chrome **原生消息（native messaging）** 和一个小**浏览器扩展**通信 —— 这是本机进程间通道，**无网络端口、无 token、无远程服务器**。扩展用 `chrome.debugger` 驱动你指定的标签页（在你**已登录**的 Chrome 里），再把结果交还给 CLI。全程都在你本机。
+
+![架构](assets/architecture.png)
+
+每个 `--session` 拿到**自己的彩色标签组**，多个 agent 共用同一个真实浏览器、互不干扰，也不动你自己的标签页。
+
+## 安装
+
+```bash
+curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeguooooo/agent-browser-stealth/main/install.sh | sh
+```
+
+从最新的 [GitHub Release](https://github.com/leeguooooo/agent-browser-stealth/releases) 下载对应平台的预编译二进制，安装 `agent-browser`（以及 `abs` 别名）。无需 npm，无需 token。
+
+### 安装 AI agent skills
+
+```bash
+npx skills add leeguooooo/agent-browser-stealth
+```
+
+把 `skills/agent-browser` 拉进当前项目，让你的 AI agent 拿到正确的用法和预授权的 bash 权限。
+
+## 连接你的 Chrome
+
+**推荐 —— 浏览器扩展（一键，无弹窗）。** 从 Chrome 应用商店安装 [**agent-browser-stealth** 扩展](https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/agent-browser-stealth/knfcmbamhjmaonkfnjhldjedeobeafmk)，再注册一次本地桥：
+
+```bash
+agent-browser extension install      # 注册原生消息 host（一次性）
+agent-browser open https://x.com/home
+```
+
+之后 `agent-browser open` 就通过**原生消息**驱动你真实、已登录的 Chrome —— 无调试端口、无 token、**永远不弹 "Allow remote debugging?"**。扩展自动更新、重启不掉，零确认（适合无人值守 / agent 场景）。
+
+<details>
+<summary>备选 —— 裸 remote-debugging 端口（会弹同意框）</summary>
+
+不装扩展时，agent-browser 退回用 CDP 连接，而 Chrome 只在带 remote-debugging 端口启动时才暴露它：
+
+```bash
+# macOS
+open -a "Google Chrome" --args --remote-debugging-port=9222
+# Linux
+google-chrome --remote-debugging-port=9222
+# Windows: 给 Chrome 快捷方式 target 加 --remote-debugging-port=9222
+```
+
+然后 `agent-browser open <url>` 自动发现端口。首次连接 **Chrome 136+ 会弹 "Allow remote debugging?"** —— 点一次 Allow（该 Chrome 会话内持续有效）。上面的扩展则完全避开这个框。
+</details>
+
+## 用法
+
+```bash
+# 连接你的 Chrome 并导航
+agent-browser open https://example.com
+
+# 一切都在你已登录的浏览器里进行
+agent-browser click "Post"
+agent-browser fill "Title" "Hello World"
+agent-browser screenshot ./page.png
+```
+
+Agent 在你的 Chrome 里操作 —— 你能实时看到开标签、加载、点击。任意时刻都能接管（比如手动过验证码），然后让 agent 继续。
+
+### 独立模式（`--launch`）
+
+```bash
+# 临时：全新空 profile —— 无 cookie 无登录（适合 CI / 测试）
+agent-browser --launch open https://example.com
+
+# 保留登录：用你真实的 Chrome profile 启动
+agent-browser --launch --profile auto open https://x.com/home
+```
+
+## 反检测
+
+连接你真实 Chrome 时，我们**零** JS 注入 —— 浏览器指纹完全是真的。指导原则是 **native CDP/Chrome 覆盖优先于 JS 谎言**：被重定义的 getter 本身可被检测，原生覆盖则不会。
+
+- `navigator.webdriver = false` 走 `Emulation.setAutomationOverride`（原生，CreepJS 类说谎检测查不出）。
+- **`Runtime.enable` 默认关闭** —— 活着的 `Runtime` 域是可被检测的 CDP 信号（patchright/rebrowser 的 "runtime leak"），即便连的是你真实 Chrome。只在你主动开启 console/错误捕获时才启用。
+
+**实测结果（连接真实 Chrome，中继路径）：**
+
+| 检测站 | 结果 |
+|---|---|
+| [CreepJS](https://abrahamjuliot.github.io/creepjs/) | **0% stealth · 0% headless**（零 override 痕迹） |
+| [bot.incolumitas.com](https://bot.incolumitas.com/) | 全部 OK（overflowTest / overrideTest / puppeteerExtraStealth / worker 一致性） |
+| [rebrowser-bot-detector](https://bot-detector.rebrowser.net/) | `runtimeEnableLeak` 🟢 · `pwInitScripts` 🟢 |
+| [bot.sannysoft.com](https://bot.sannysoft.com) | 全绿 |
+
+`--launch` 独立模式下会改用一整套隐身补丁，同样过上述检测。
+
+## 与上游的差异
+
+基于 [agent-browser v0.27.0](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser)：
+
+- **默认 auto-connect** —— `agent-browser open` 连你的 Chrome 而非启新的
+- **CDP 原生隐身** —— `Emulation.setAutomationOverride` 而非 JS 补丁
+- **双隐身模式** —— 真实 Chrome 零补丁，`--launch` 全补丁
+- **`--launch` / `--new`** —— 显式启动独立浏览器
+- **CI 自动检测** —— 设了 `CI` 环境变量时走独立模式
+
+所有上游功能（命令、快照、截图、录制、标签、会话等）保持一致。

 ### Driving the user's real, already-open Chrome (extension)
 
 When the task needs the user's *live* logged-in window (their real session, the

-`agent-browser extension install` once, load `extensions/ab-connect` in
-`chrome://extensions` once (it shows up as **agent-browser-stealth**; a GUI step
-you can perform with a **computer-use / GUI-automation tool** like the

+1. **You're on a stale build.** The relay-preference that avoids this dialog

+   copy (the npm registry lags behind — Releases are the source of truth) may be
+   shadowing the upgraded one; remove the stale copy
+   (`npm rm -g agent-browser-stealth` / `pnpm rm -g agent-browser-stealth`) so the

+   (e.g. `node .../agent-browser-stealth@0.24.x/.../agent-browser`) needs that
+   copy upgraded too.
+2. **The extension/relay isn't live.** Tell the user to install the Store
+   extension (one click, above); after that the relay stays up and the dialog
