Switching between the shared browser and this machine's own previously meant
leaving pi and relaunching with BU_CDP_HTTP — and, less obviously, killing the
daemon first, or the switch silently did not happen.

  /browser-target                 show the current target
  /browser-target local           this machine's browser
  /browser-target default         the built-in default
  /browser-target host:port       somewhere else

Precedence becomes env &gt; stored &gt; default. The environment still wins so a
one-off `BU_CDP_HTTP=… pi` is never silently overridden by a choice made days
ago; when it is set, the command says so rather than pretending to obey.
Clearing falls back to the default rather than to local — "use the usual
browser", not "go local".

The daemon is the reason this needed more than a settings write. It is
machine-wide, resolves its target once per process, and holds the WebSocket to
the old browser, so re-reading the store would leave tool calls going to the
old browser while /browser-status reported the new one. The command therefore
replaces the process: the daemon now honours an inbound control/shutdown (the
action already existed in the protocol, previously only sent daemon→client),
and stopDaemon() asks for it and polls until the process is really gone before
ensureDaemon() respawns it against the new target. /browser-status now reads
the store too, so it cannot disagree with what the tools will do.

Persistence mirrors the profile pin: atomic temp-file-plus-rename, and every
read failure degrades to "nothing stored" so a corrupt file falls back to the
default instead of breaking browser control. It is a separate file from the
pin, so damage to one cannot cost you the other. The stored value stays in
BU_CDP_HTTP's vocabulary so there is exactly one resolution path.

62 tests: the full precedence table including the stored tier, that a bad value
is blamed on the source that set it rather than sending you hunting through
shell config, that the command only accepts values resolution can actually use,
and eight ways of damaging the store file.

Drops leading blank lines where a file header was removed, collapses
double blank lines, and closes the empty catch/handler blocks whose only
content had been a comment. Whitespace only.

Removes module banners, section dividers, reference lists, and comments
restating the code. Keeps one-line notes for the Windows named-pipe
endpoint, the Windows unlink no-op, the do-not-unlink-on-rejection rule,
the `.cmd` shell requirement, shell-quoting of spaced paths, and the
in-place client promotion.

* feat: Unix socket daemon with auto-reconnect for persistent Chrome CDP

Eliminates the 'Allow Remote Debugging' Chrome prompt that appeared on
every pi session by multiplexing pi instances through a single persistent
daemon process.

Key additions:
- Unix socket IPC (net.createServer + readline JSON framing)
- CdpBridge with ID multiplexer + event router
- DaemonTransport implementing CdpTransport interface
- Auto-spawn with ensureDaemon() (lazy, checks socket)

Fixes since initial implementation:
- Bridge auto-reconnects to Chrome with exponential backoff (1s-60s).
  Previously the bridge tried once at startup and permanently failed
  if Chrome wasn't ready — causing 'Chrome not connected' on every
  browser tool call.
- Daemon spawn uses project-local tsx binary instead of global --import
  flag, fixing silent spawn failure (ERR_MODULE_NOT_FOUND).
- Stale ctx crash: persistState in onOwnershipChange wrapped in
  try/catch to prevent CDP event consumer crashes.

49 test assertions across 4 test files. Zero TypeScript errors.

* feat: on-demand browser initialization

Browser daemon no longer auto-starts on session_start. Instead:
- session_start creates the client lazily but does NOT connect or spawn
  the daemon. Zero Chrome prompts for non-browser pi sessions.
- Browser tool wrapper checks for daemon socket before each call.
  Socket missing → clear error: 'Run /browser-setup first'.
  Socket exists → proceeds silently (daemon already running).
- /browser-setup is the explicit, one-time init point. It spawns
  the daemon and connects to Chrome only when the user opts in.
- SKILL.md updated with Connection Setup instructions telling agents
  to direct users to /browser-setup when socket is missing.

* fix: checkChromeRunning on macOS — match by substring not exact

ps -A -o comm= returns full executable paths on modern macOS
(e.g. /Applications/Google Chrome.app/Contents/MacOS/Google Chrome),
not the basename. The old exact-match check (browserProcesses.includes(l))
never matched, causing false 'No browser instance running' errors.
Changed to substring includes() with helper/renderer/crashpad filtering.

* feat: browser_setup as agent-callable tool

The agent can now self-recover from 'Browser harness not initialized'
errors by calling browser_setup directly — no user mediation needed.

- Extracted shared performSetup() from the slash command into setup.ts
- Created src/domains/setup.ts with ensureAlive:false to bypass the
  socket guard (this tool IS the setup, can't require itself)
- Registered browser_setup in the tool registry
- Updated SKILL.md: agent calls browser_setup directly, not ask user
- Removed stale test/manual/spawn-test.ts
