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.

-On listing/marketplace pages (Yahoo Auctions, Rakuten, Mercari shops) the seller's
-description often lives in a **child frame** or is buried under a "related items"
-sidebar, so a plain `get text body` returns only header/nav boilerplate. When the
-text you expect is missing: run `chrome-use frames` to see where it is, then
-`get text --all-frames` (reads every reachable frame incl. cross-origin iframes)
-or `get text --main` (drops the global chrome). If the content is lazy-loaded,
-`scroll` it into view first.
+**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.
