# Changelog

## v0.16.0

<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">March 2026</p>

### New Features

- **Native Rust daemon (experimental).** A pure Rust daemon that communicates with Chrome directly via the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP), eliminating Node.js and Playwright dependencies entirely. Enable with `--native`, `AGENT_BROWSER_NATIVE=1`, or `"native": true` in your config file. Supports 150+ commands with full parity to the default Node.js daemon.

```bash
# Via flag
agent-browser --native open example.com

# Via environment variable
export AGENT_BROWSER_NATIVE=1
agent-browser open example.com
```

Or add to `agent-browser.json`:

```json
{"native": true}
```

### Architecture

<table>
  <thead>
    <tr><th></th><th>Default (Node.js)</th><th>Native (<code>--native</code>)</th></tr>
  </thead>
  <tbody>
    <tr><td><strong>Runtime</strong></td><td>Node.js + Playwright</td><td>Pure Rust binary</td></tr>
    <tr><td><strong>Protocol</strong></td><td>Playwright protocol</td><td>Direct CDP / WebDriver</td></tr>
    <tr><td><strong>Install size</strong></td><td>Larger (Node.js + npm deps)</td><td>Smaller (single binary)</td></tr>
    <tr><td><strong>Browser support</strong></td><td>Chromium, Firefox, WebKit</td><td>Chromium, Safari (via WebDriver)</td></tr>
    <tr><td><strong>Stability</strong></td><td>Stable</td><td>Experimental</td></tr>
  </tbody>
</table>

### What's Supported

All core commands work in native mode: navigation, interaction (click, fill, type, press, hover, scroll, drag), observation (snapshot, screenshot, eval), state management (cookies, storage, state save/load), tabs, emulation (viewport, device, timezone, locale, geolocation), streaming, diffing, recording, and profiling.

The native daemon also includes a WebDriver backend for Safari and iOS support.

### Known Limitations

- Firefox and WebKit are not yet supported (Chromium and Safari only)
- Playwright trace format is not available (uses Chrome's built-in tracing)
- HAR export is not available
- Network route interception uses CDP Fetch domain instead of Playwright's route API
- The native and Node.js daemons share the same session socket. Use `agent-browser close` before switching between modes.

See the [Native Mode](/native-mode) page for full details.

## v0.15.0

<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">February 2026</p>

### New Features

- **Authentication vault** -- Store credentials locally (always AES-256-GCM encrypted) and reference them by name. The LLM never sees passwords. Commands: `auth save`, `auth login`, `auth list`, `auth show`, `auth delete`. Passwords can be piped via stdin (`--password-stdin`) to avoid shell history exposure.
- **Content boundary markers** -- `--content-boundaries` wraps page-sourced output in structural delimiters with a per-process CSPRNG nonce, so LLMs can distinguish trusted tool output from untrusted page content. In `--json` mode, a `_boundary` object is injected with `nonce` and `origin` fields.
- **Domain allowlist** -- `--allowed-domains` restricts navigation, sub-resource requests, WebSocket connections, and EventSource streams to trusted domains. Supports exact match and wildcard prefix patterns (e.g., `*.example.com`).
- **Action policy** -- `--action-policy` gates actions using a static JSON policy file with `allow`/`deny` lists across 13 action categories. Auth vault operations bypass policy enforcement.
- **Action confirmation** -- `--confirm-actions` requires explicit approval for sensitive action categories. New `confirm` and `deny` commands for orchestrator use. `--confirm-interactive` enables human-in-the-loop terminal prompts (auto-denies if stdin is not a TTY). Pending confirmations auto-deny after 60 seconds.
- **Output length limits** -- `--max-output` truncates large page outputs to prevent LLM context flooding.
- **`--download-path` option** -- Set a default download directory via flag, `AGENT_BROWSER_DOWNLOAD_PATH` env var, or `downloadPath` config key. Without it, downloads go to a temporary directory deleted when the browser closes.
- **`--selector` flag for scroll** -- Scroll within a specific container element instead of the page: `agent-browser scroll down 500 --selector "div.scroll-container"`

```bash
# Auth vault
echo "pass" | agent-browser auth save github --url https://github.com/login --username user --password-stdin
agent-browser auth login github

# Security flags
agent-browser --content-boundaries --allowed-domains "example.com,*.example.com" --max-output 50000 open https://example.com

# Download path
agent-browser --download-path ./downloads open https://example.com

# Scroll within container
agent-browser scroll down 500 --selector "div.content"
```

### Environment Variables

Six new environment variables for security configuration: `AGENT_BROWSER_CONTENT_BOUNDARIES`, `AGENT_BROWSER_MAX_OUTPUT`, `AGENT_BROWSER_ALLOWED_DOMAINS`, `AGENT_BROWSER_ACTION_POLICY`, `AGENT_BROWSER_CONFIRM_ACTIONS`, `AGENT_BROWSER_CONFIRM_INTERACTIVE`.

---

## v0.14.0

<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">February 2026</p>

### New Features

- **`keyboard` command** -- Type with real keystrokes, insert text, and press shortcuts at the currently focused element without needing a selector (`keyboard type`, `keyboard inserttext`).
- **`--color-scheme` flag** -- Persistent dark/light mode preference across browser sessions via flag or `AGENT_BROWSER_COLOR_SCHEME` env var.

```bash
agent-browser keyboard type "Hello world"
agent-browser keyboard inserttext "pasted text"
agent-browser --color-scheme dark open https://example.com
```

### Bug Fixes

- Fixed IPC EAGAIN errors (os error 35/11) with backpressure-aware socket writes, command serialization, and lowered default Playwright timeout to 25s (configurable via `AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT`).
- Fixed remote debugging (CDP) reconnection.
- Fixed state load failing when no browser is running.
- Fixed `--annotate` flag warning appearing when not explicitly passed via CLI.

---

## v0.13.0

<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">February 2026</p>

### New Features

- **Diff commands** -- Compare snapshots, screenshots, and URLs between page states. Run visual pixel diffs against baseline images, compare accessibility tree snapshots with customizable depth and selectors, and diff two URLs side-by-side with optional screenshot comparison.

```bash
agent-browser diff snapshot
agent-browser diff screenshot --baseline before.png
agent-browser diff url https://staging.example.com https://prod.example.com
```

---

## v0.12.0

<p className="text-[#888] text-sm">February 2026</p>

### New Features

- **Annotated screenshots** -- `--annotate` flag overlays numbered labels on interactive elements and prints a legend mapping each label to its element ref. Enables multimodal AI models to reason about visual layout while using the same `@eN` refs for subsequent interactions. Also settable via `AGENT_BROWSER_ANNOTATE` env var.

```bash
agent-browser screenshot --annotate
```
