<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: helpers live in helper modules, not in tool files</title>

form.ts exported resolveAndCall and detailsOf to form-batch.ts,
snapshot.ts exported buildTree and collectInteractiveTargets to
ref-resolve.ts, and screenshot.ts exported captureWithCrosshair to
click.ts — so importing one tool pulled in another tool's whole module.

The shared halves move out: ax-tree.ts (the AX tree model, its
construction and the queries over it), element-call.ts (calling a
function on a resolved element, and the PageResult it returns),
screenshot-capture.ts (capture, resize, crosshair overlay). Each tool
file now holds its tools and its own presentation, nothing else.
NavOutcome stops being exported; nothing outside navigate.ts read it.

target.ts stays a module rather than folding into click.ts as planned:
it is already helper-only and has its own test suite, and moving a tested
pure function into a tool file is the thing this commit removes. Having
one consumer is not the defect.

<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: close the remaining unguarded type assertions</title>

<content type='text'>
Types the event-queue iterator's TReturn as undefined so the terminal
result needs no cast; declares the isError field the pi runtime reads by
duck-typing; binds socket to a local const in the daemon transport;
replaces the @ts-ignore on the optional sharp import with a non-literal
specifier so src/ still typechecks where sharp was not installed.

Adds src/util/guards.ts as the single home for narrowing over unknown —
isRecord plus scalar/array readers — and converts the two private
isObject copies in cdp/types.ts and daemon/protocol.ts along with every
inline `as Record&lt;string, unknown&gt;` in domains/js.ts and domains/render.ts.

Gives Accessibility.getFullAXTree a real result schema, closing the last
unvalidated CDP boundary: only nodeId is required, every object carries
additionalProperties, and each AX value stays Unknown, so the tree
decodes as a whole or fails as a whole rather than being filtered.

Guards the five tool-result `details` readers, the daemon attach
response, the persisted session state, the browser-namespace flag, and
the fs errno narrowing, each feeding an already-present failure path.

The daemon-transport socket binding is not a bug fix: send() runs
synchronously inside sendWithTimeout's promise executor, so socket cannot
be reassigned between the check and the write. It removes the assertion
and makes the write immune to a later refactor that adds an await.

Two assertions survive by design and are documented in the task report:
the never-&gt;unknown re-widening in util/tool.ts, which the type-erased
tool registry makes unavoidable, and the AsyncFunction constructor lookup
in domains/js.ts, which JavaScript exposes no typed binding for.

<title>refactor(domains): share target resolution and CDP error mapping</title>

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.

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>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: 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.

Adds two new tools and pivots the agent's default workflow away from
screenshots toward structured page data.

browser_snapshot — CDP accessibility tree (roles, names, states, hierarchy)
with click coordinates @(x,y) attached to every interactive element via
DOM.getBoxModel (parallel, 1.5s aggregate budget). Pass directly to
browser_click — no screenshot round-trip. Optional includeScreenshot:true
for visual confirmation. format:"json" returns a slim structure with full
box per node.

browser_network_requests — replaces the deprecated browser_get_network_log
placeholder. Filters by urlPattern (substring or /regex/), method, status,
resource type, recency. Optional response-body capture under a 5s aggregate
budget with 50KB per-body cap. Buffer is page-scoped (cleared on tab switch),
500 records/tab, with a bufferOverflowed flag on drain.

CDP plumbing: in-process aggregator in src/cdp/network-buffer.ts wired into
the existing single-consumer event loop. Accessibility domain enabled
alongside Page/DOM/Runtime/Network on every attach.

Ctrl+O expand/collapse on three tools' renderResult — browser_snapshot,
browser_network_requests, browser_execute_js. Compact-by-default views with
keyHint("app.tools.expand") that respects user keybinding remaps.

Tool prompts pivoted snapshot-first: browser_screenshot is documented as
LAST RESORT for visual verification only; browser_snapshot is the default
for understanding pages; browser_execute_js is the default for surgical
reads. browser_click and browser_open_urls guidance follows.

SKILL.md collapsed from ~342 to ~53 lines — keeping only what isn't already
in tool prompts: the decision tree, connection rules, browser_run_script
daemon bindings.
