<content type='text'>
Remove browser instruction text repeated across tool descriptions, parameter schemas, tool
guidelines and the global browser prompt. Tool names, schemas, handlers and concurrency are
unchanged; shared recovery and ownership guidance is now available before and after the browser
connects, and the prompt names which tools are serialized versus observations.

<title>refactor: merge nine files whose reason to exist was gone</title>

<id>urn:sha1:dcb79fc62bdd4d9ec0cbdb2c97d3eb2b2dacdf22</id>
<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.

The ref-vs-x/y branch turned out to exist in one tool, not four; it is now
one helper with tests covering the half-specified-coordinate and stale-ref
cases. cdpCall folds the repeated cdp_error mapping at 24 active-session
call sites; target-scoped callOnTarget/callBrowser sites are left alone.

<title>refactor(tools): declare concurrency in the tool definition</title>

serialized: true was applied in registry.ts, away from the tools it
describes. Now a required concurrency field on each definition, with a
test pinning the serialized set so the classes cannot drift.

The lock check defaults to taking the mutex for any class that is not
explicitly "parallel", so a definition that bypasses defineBrowserTool at
runtime fails safe rather than racing on shared CDP state.

The test script gains --conditions=import: pi-coding-agent publishes no
"require" condition, so importing any tool definition from a CJS-loaded
test could not resolve it.

<title>fix(domains): restore fail-closed focus check in browser_type</title>

Adopting isFocusProbe inverted the safety default: the guard was ANDed into
the condition gating the check, so a probe result the guard rejected skipped
the check and fell through to Input.insertText — text typed into nothing,
silently, which is the exact failure the block exists to prevent. The guard
now feeds a value that defaults to { ok: false }, so a rejected shape
produces the error instead of bypassing it.

The other four guard adoptions (isFillResult, isFocusResult, isSelectResult,
isPageResult) were already fail-closed: each feeds a value whose rejection
lands on a pre-existing error branch.

Also assert x/y in the box centre test — the fields snapshot's off-viewport
filter reads — and wrap the zero-size message to the surrounding width.

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

<content type='text'>
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>fix: make dispatch_key fire legacy keyCode handlers and tighten execute_js IIFE wrap (#9)</title>

<content type='text'>
- browser_dispatch_key now sets keyCode/which on the synthesized KeyboardEvent
  (both ref and selector paths) so handlers checking e.keyCode === 13 fire.
- browser_execute_js IIFE auto-wrap triggers only when the source starts with a
  return statement, not on any substring "return " (which silently produced
  undefined for bare expressions).
- browser_fill guidelines point at dispatch_key for tag-input submission and the
  snapshot+click recipe for custom dropdowns.

Bump to 0.8.1.

<title>feat: address elements by stable refs across re-renders (#8)</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0b32e88f84f36a759d7191e8bdfd09a44789fa95</id>
<content type='text'>
Interaction tools could only target elements by raw viewport coordinates
(browser_click) or model-guessed CSS selectors (browser_fill/focus/
select_option/upload). Neither survives a re-render: on React/SPA forms,
every save or edit reflows the page, so captured @(x,y) coordinates go
stale and guessed selectors miss — leaving the agent to fall back to
hand-rolled execute_js DOM walks and unnoticed failed saves.

Add a stable ref system, mirroring Playwright MCP / browser-use:

- snapshot assigns each interactive element a ref (e1, e2, …), shown as
  [eN] in the outline, and publishes a per-tab ref → backendNodeId map
- interaction tools accept an optional `ref` that re-resolves the element
  at call time (via DOM.resolveNode / getBoxModel), so it stays valid
  across re-renders; coordinates/selectors remain as fallbacks
- mutating tools append a compact diff of changed / newly-appeared (*) /
  removed interactive elements, so silent failed saves surface immediately
- stale refs return an actionable "re-snapshot" error instead of a miss

Ref map is replaced per snapshot (bounded memory); fill keeps the native
_valueTracker write path so React controlled inputs still update.
