<content type='text'>
src/ goes from 84 files to 75 at the same line count — every merge below
had exactly one consumer.

cdp/event-queue.ts and cdp/pending-requests.ts become daemon/queue.ts.
I split these in the daemon-internals commit on the grounds that they
held two unrelated concerns, but the transport commit had already deleted
the second transport, so both halves had one consumer and the split
bought nothing. They also sat in cdp/ while only daemon/ used them.

cdp/transport.ts held only the CdpTransport interface after the second
transport went; five of its six consumers import it type-only, so it
moves to cdp/types.ts. cdp/evaluate.ts moves into cdp/session.ts rather
than into its lone consumer isolated-tab.ts — it reaches session.call
directly, so under src/domains/ it would trip the raw-cdp-call rule.

util/keycodes.ts and util/time.ts fold into their only callers
(keyboard.ts, page.ts); util/bytes.ts into util/truncate.ts, which
already owns output-size formatting; readpage/capture.ts and
search/extract.ts into the tools beside them; profile/picker.ts into
profile/command.ts.

Kept deliberately: mutex.ts and domains/target.ts each have their own
test suite, and folding target.ts into click.ts would make a tool file
export a helper. sharp-shim.ts is an isolation boundary carrying two
allowlisted casts. result.ts, guards.ts, js-template.ts and paths.ts are
small but have 44, 12, 8 and 3 consumers.

<title>refactor: one door from a tool to the browser</title>

<id>urn:sha1:632600ec0a0a68d9327e19bd419a1ae72047955f</id>
<content type='text'>
Four routes coexisted: cdpCall, a raw client.session().call, a session
held in a local and called directly, and client.evaluateJs — and five
files mixed two or three of them. The CdpError-to-ToolErr mapping was
hand-copied at nine sites, plus a private copy in isolated-tab.ts.

domains/cdp-call.ts now owns all of it: cdpErrToToolErr, cdpCall,
cdpCallOnTarget, cdpCallBrowser, evalJs. Every other file under
src/domains goes through them, which also removes a pile of
`if (!r.success) return err({ kind: "cdp_error", ... })` boilerplate in
favour of returning the failed Result as-is.

Two scanner rules keep it that way, scoped to src/domains/ so the layer
that legitimately owns the session — cdp/ and client.ts — is unaffected.
Scoping is new to the rule model; without it the rules fired on the
transport itself.

One deliberate behaviour change: a CDP timeout now surfaces as
kind "timeout" rather than "cdp_error". isolated-tab.ts already did this
and the other 13 sites flattened it; the shared mapper uses the honest
label rather than preserving the mislabel.

Removes module banners, step markers, and comments restating the code.
Keeps one-line notes for safeJs's trust boundary, the select-match null
sentinels, the TUI width clamp, the single-window tab rule, the input
synthesis quirks (char events, keyCode, mousemove, focus, compositor),
the stale AX value, ignored-wrapper recursion, and isolated-tab routing.

<title>refactor(domains): drop CDP casts, share the box-model unwrap</title>

ref-resolve.ts and snapshot.ts had the same box-model unwrap, both using
data.model! to work around an untyped response. Extracted to domains/box.ts;
the typed schema makes the assertions unnecessary. Both derived the centre
identically (quad corner + half the model width/height), so centreOf keeps
that derivation; the shared zero-size rejection moved into boxOf, and
snapshot keeps its own off-viewport (x/y &lt; 0) filter.

evalInIsolatedTab now goes through evaluateJson with the tab's own sessionId
and a caller-supplied guard; both callers evaluate expressions ending in
JSON.stringify, so they pass isJsonText rather than a check that checks
nothing. Runtime.evaluate/callFunctionOn result casts in form.ts, forms.ts
and keyboard.ts are replaced by named guards over the in-page result shapes.

Runtime.callFunctionOn's params schema gained arguments/returnByValue/
awaitPromise/userGesture: four domain call sites legitimately pass them and
typebox's additionalProperties:true does not widen the static type, so the
params type was rejecting valid CDP fields. Params schemas are type-only
(only results are compiled), so this is a compile-time widening with no
runtime effect.

tsc is green again for both tsconfigs.

<title>feat: pin the agent to a chosen browser profile (#16)</title>

* feat: pin the agent to a chosen browser profile (#15)

Harness tabs were created with a bare Target.createTarget, which places
them in Chrome's defaultBrowserContextId — and that value follows window
focus. Which profile the agent acted as therefore depended on which
browser window the user last clicked, so the same task could run as a
work account on one run and a personal account on the next.

/browser-profile lists the connected browser's profiles as "Name (email)"
and pins one to ~/.pi/agent/browser-harness.json, so the choice outlives
the session. The same picker appears on first browser_setup when nothing
is pinned; with no interactive UI, or on cancel, setup continues with a
note and the previous behavior.

Chrome offers no direct route to another profile: Target.createTarget
rejects a foreign browserContextId, and openerId does not inherit the
opener's context. The window is opened through the browser's own command
line (--profile-directory, handed to the running browser by Chromium's
ProcessSingleton) and identified by a unique file:// sentinel page, since
a bare about:blank#token argument is discarded. Further tabs come from
window.open evaluated with userGesture: true — the only CDP-reachable way
to place a tab in a non-default browser context — correlated by a unique
token so concurrent isolated tabs stay distinct. A failed handshake is
reported, never silently redirected to another profile.

All four tab-creation sites now funnel through cdp/target-factory, so
open_urls and the isolated tabs behind web_search / read_page cannot run
with a different profile's cookies than the visible tabs.

Also fixed along the way: snap Chromium is discovered, Windows uses
%LOCALAPPDATA%, browsers launched with an explicit --user-data-dir are
found, the running browser is chosen by ranking candidates against the
connected user-data-dir rather than taking the first process found, and
an installed-but-closed browser no longer reads as running.

CI runs the profile suites and a real-browser end-to-end test on ubuntu,
macOS, and Windows — profile discovery is the one part of the harness
whose behavior genuinely differs per OS.

* fix: single-flight harness window creation

Isolated tabs run concurrently (browser_read_page is registered
unserialized), so several could each find "no harness window" and create
one — two blank windows before this feature, two LAUNCHED profile windows
after it. ensureHarnessWindow now shares one in-flight creation per
client.

Sharing introduces a second hazard: freshlyCreated is a claim on the seed
tab, and if every waiter received it, they would all drive the same tab.
Only the caller that started the creation keeps the claim; the rest open
their own tab beside it.

Covered by test/manual/profile-concurrency-test.ts (five concurrent
isolated tabs, pinned and unpinned: distinct targets, one window, correct
profile), wired into CI on Linux only — the coordination is pure JS and
identical across platforms.

* fix: tilde expansion differs by purpose on Windows

CI on windows-latest caught this: join("~", "x") yields "~\x" there, and
expandTilde only handled "~/".

The two uses are not the same, so they no longer share a helper. The
agent dir stays byte-compatible with pi's own expandTildePath ("~/" only,
every platform) — being more lenient would put the pin file somewhere pi
never looks. $CHROME_USER_DATA_DIR is ours to interpret, so it accepts
"~\" as well, which is what a Windows user would type.

<content type='text'>
- Add forms domain with a universal field setter that auto-detects element
  type and fires framework-compatible input events (React native-setter trick)
- Add window-binding helper to capture and bind the real Chrome windowId as the
  session's durable window identity on every new-window code path
- Wire supporting changes across CDP session/ownership, client, navigate,
  isolated-tab, prompt, and state
- Add manual tests for forms and window binding
- Bump version 0.8.3 -&gt; 0.9.0

Thin query→ranked-links primitive. Isolated-attach tab lifecycle mirroring
browser_open_urls (never touches the user's current tab); pure Google SERP
parser with semantic (a h3) extraction and redirect unwrapping; CAPTCHA and
no-results surfaced as invalid_state + details.reason. Fixture-based parser
tests (9 scenarios). Establishes the isolated-tab lifecycle and tsx+fixture
test convention that browser_read_page and deep-research build on.
