chore(release): 1.5.3 — get text defaults to cross-frame; #29 (sessions/did-you-mean/tab liveness); CI changelog fix

So an agent never silently misses iframed content (listing descriptions etc.)
without having to know the --all-frames flag. Single-frame pages are unchanged
(identical to the old body read); multi-frame pages now include child frames —
a strict superset. Skill + help updated to make the default and 'frames'/--main
discoverable.

+**Whole-page text is cross-frame by default.** `chrome-use get text` with no
+selector aggregates visible text across **every** frame — top document plus
+same-process child frames plus cross-origin iframes — so you never silently miss
+content that lives in an iframe (Yahoo Auctions / Rakuten / Mercari shop
+descriptions, embedded checkout/spec frames). Each child frame is delimited with
+a `----- frame [kind] url -----` marker. You do **not** need to remember a flag —
+the default already reads all frames. (`--all-frames` is still accepted as an
+explicit alias.)
+
+So: when text looks missing or wrong, you don't have to guess — just
+`chrome-use get text` reads everything. To **see** the structure (which frame
+holds what), run `chrome-use frames`. To **cut boilerplate** (global nav/header/
+footer, "related items" sidebars), use `chrome-use get text --main`. If content
+is lazy-loaded, `scroll` it into view first, then read.

+### Canvas / WebGL apps (games, map & 3D viewers, drawing tools)
+
+These paint everything to a `<canvas>` and expose **almost no accessibility
+tree**, so `snapshot` comes back near-empty and refs are a dead end. `snapshot`
+detects this and prints a one-line hint. Drive them the screenshot way:
+
+```bash
+chrome-use screenshot /tmp/s.png       # SEE the state (your only read path —
+                                          # eval/get text return nothing useful)

+chrome-use press Space                 # discrete actions (jump/attack/confirm)
+```
+
+**Don't drive frame-by-frame with one CLI call per action** — that's the slowest,
+lowest-fidelity way (each call is a process spawn + round-trip). Script a *timed
+sequence in a single round-trip* with `batch` (it sends each step to the running
+daemon; `press --hold` and `wait` block in-daemon, so timing is precise):
+
+```bash
+chrome-use batch "press d --hold 900" "press j" "press j" "wait 200" "press d --hold 500"
+```
+
+Also try reading real state instead of pixels: `eval` runs in the page's main
+world, so for a framework/engine game you can often reach its globals (e.g. a
+Phaser/PIXI/Three instance, a store, `window.__GAME__`) and read positions/score
+directly — far better than guessing from a screenshot.
+
+**For genuinely real-time driving, drop the CLI entirely and use the WebSocket.**
+`chrome-use stream enable` opens a bidirectional WS (`stream status` prints the
+`ws://127.0.0.1:<port>`). Connect once and you get a live ~60fps screencast AND
+can send input on the same socket — no per-action process spawn, no round-trip,
+works over the extension relay:
+
+```js
+// node (global WebSocket): live frames + locally-timed input
+const ws = new WebSocket("ws://127.0.0.1:PORT")
+ws.onmessage = e => { const m = JSON.parse(e.data); if (m.type==="frame") {/* base64 jpeg */} }
+const k = (eventType,key,code,vk) => ws.send(JSON.stringify({type:"input_keyboard",eventType,key,code,windowsVirtualKeyCode:vk}))
+k("keyDown"," ","Space",32); setTimeout(()=>k("keyUp"," ","Space",32), 80)   // a jump
+// also: {type:"input_mouse",eventType:"mousePressed",x,y,button:"left",clickCount:1}
+```
+
+This is the difference between watching a slideshow and playing the game. Reserve
+screenshots for one-off checks; use the WS for any sustained real-time control.

 navigate a sibling's tab. For concurrent agents on one real Chrome, use the
 extension (each with a distinct `--session`), not raw `--cdp`.
 
+Each session owns its own tab group and assigns its own `t<N>` indices (the same
+physical tab is `t8` in one session, `t1` in another), so `t<N>` is **not** a
+stable cross-session handle. To reach a *specific* tab from another session — e.g.
+a tab that was filled in a session whose handle later died — use the **stable CDP
+`targetId`**:
+
+```bash
+chrome-use tab list --full --session B   # re-syncs live tabs; prints `target: <id>` per row
+chrome-use tab <targetId> --session B    # adopt that exact tab, NO reload (state preserved)
+```
+
+`tab list` re-discovers the live tab set on every call, so a fresh session sees
+tabs other sessions opened (and re-attached ones), not just its own. Adopting by
+`targetId` lands session B on the stranded tab without reloading it, so a
+half-filled form survives. Still, the simplest recovery for a session whose own
+tab died is to recover *that* session (reload / re-`open` / `daemon restart`).
+
+To avoid piling up duplicate tabs when you re-`open` the same entry URL on
+rebind, pass **`--reuse-tab`**: if a tab already shows that URL (matched by
+origin+path), it switches to it instead of spawning a new one.
+
+### Reset stuck daemon state
+
+Each session runs a background daemon worker that holds the page handles. If a
+session starts misbehaving — commands hit the wrong tab, refs/handles look stale,
+or you upgraded `chrome-use` mid-session and old workers linger — restart the
+daemons instead of hunting PIDs with `pgrep`/`kill`:
+
+```bash
+chrome-use daemon status     # list running session daemons (+ relay state)
+chrome-use daemon restart    # kill every session daemon worker
+```
+
+`daemon restart` leaves the extension's native-messaging bridge (`__nm-host`)
+alone, so the relay to your live Chrome stays up — the next command just spins up
+a fresh, clean daemon against the same browser. It does **not** close any tabs.
