style: rustfmt the issue #7 regression tests (CI format gate)

- fix(stealth): bind iframe contentWindow proxy methods to the real window
  (--launch "Illegal invocation" on srcdoc-iframe pages)
- fix(tabs): re-pin active target when the pinned page is removed (issue #7)
- feat(cli): coordinate click (click <x> <y> / --coords), tabs/get-text
  aliases, clearer find error (issue #8.4)
- fix(observability): screenshot/network stamp @ <url>; network --clear
  enables capture immediately (issues #8.1/#8.3)
- fix(ab-connect 0.4.2): stale sessionId fails loudly instead of routing to a
  random tab (issue #8.1) — needs a Chrome Web Store republish
- restart notice now flags in-memory context reset (issue #8.2)

 `0% stealth` on CreepJS is the key number: because the connect path patches **nothing**, there is no override for a lie-detector to catch. (Dashboards that read `navigator.languages` order or IP geolocation may show a soft "navigator"/"location" flag — that tracks *your real Chrome's* language list and network, not an automation tell.)
 
-When using `--launch` mode (standalone browser), a full suite of stealth patches is applied instead, and it still passes the suite above.
+When using `--launch` mode (standalone browser), a full suite of stealth patches is applied instead, and it passes the suite above — with one caveat: CreepJS reports **~20% stealth** because the srcdoc-iframe `contentWindow` patch trips its `hasIframeProxy` probe (the proxy that hides automation is itself a tell). Everything else is clean (`0% headless`, sannysoft/browserscan green, Cloudflare passed). Set **`AGENT_BROWSER_DISABLE_IFRAME_PROXY=1`** to drop that patch for a clean **0% stealth** (trades the niche srcdoc-iframe masking). The **extension-connect path** (your real Chrome) injects zero JS and is unaffected — it's the genuine 0% path.
+
+### Human-like input (behavioural stealth)
+
+Fingerprint stealth isn't the whole story — the strongest anti-bot vendors (Akamai, PerimeterX, DataDome) also score *behaviour*. A click that teleports the cursor to an element's exact centre with no approach path and zero press delay is a tell, **even though our CDP events are `isTrusted`**.
+
+With humanize on, the cursor moves like a hand: clicks follow a curved, decelerating Bézier path and land on a jittered point *inside* the element (never the dead centre); typing uses variable inter-keystroke timing; scrolling eases in segments; drags follow a curve. It's **adaptive** — every navigation is probed for known anti-bot vendors (cookies / scripts / globals) and a guarded page auto-escalates to full human motion, while ordinary sites stay instant (zero overhead).
+
+What the page's own `mousemove` stream sees (this *is* what a behavioural detector analyses):
+
+| | trajectory |
+|---|---|
+| **off** (default) | straight lines · dead-centre · instant |
+| **human** | curved trails · slow-in/slow-out · off-centre landings |
+
+Control with `--humanize off\|fast\|human` or `AGENT_BROWSER_HUMANIZE`. Default `off`; the adaptive detector escalates per page.
+
+### Silent operation
+
+Driving your real Chrome should never interrupt your work. The agent operates **entirely in the background**: new tabs open un-focused (in their own colored per-session tab group), the agent **never force-fronts a tab**, and `Emulation.setFocusEmulationEnabled` keeps each agent tab rendering and reporting `document.hasFocus()` / `visibilityState: 'visible'`. So screenshots still work, pages aren't render-throttled, and "the tab was hidden the whole session" never becomes its own bot tell. You keep working in your active tab; the agent works alongside you, silently. (Surfacing a tab stays available as an explicit command.)

+
+### 静默操作
+
+操作你的真实 Chrome 不该打断你的工作。agent **全程在后台操作**:新标签后台打开(在自己的彩色会话标签组里),**从不强制把标签拽到前台**,并用 `Emulation.setFocusEmulationEnabled` 让每个 agent 标签照常渲染、`document.hasFocus()` / `visibilityState` 仍报 `visible`。于是截图正常、页面不被降频,"标签全程隐藏"也不会变成新的机器人信号。你在自己的标签里照常工作,agent 在旁边默默干活。(想置顶某个标签仍可显式调用命令。)
