release: v0.6.0 — per-tab isolation, Unix socket daemon, on-demand init (#6)
* 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 * release: v0.6.0 — per-tab isolation, Unix socket daemon, on-demand init

Pass `@(x,y)` from `browser_snapshot` straight to `browser_click`. No screenshot round-trip.
+## Connection Setup
+
+Browser control is **on-demand** — the daemon does NOT start automatically.
+If you try a browser tool and get a `not_connected` error, tell the user to
+run `/browser-setup` first. This opens the daemon and connects to Chrome.
+Once initialized, all subsequent sessions reuse the same connection silently.
+
+**Before calling any browser tool**, the runtime checks for the daemon socket
+at `/tmp/pi-browser-daemon.sock`. If the socket is missing (user hasn't run
+`/browser-setup`), you get: `"Browser harness not initialized. Run /browser-setup first"`.
+
+**Do not ask the user.** Call `browser_setup` directly — it spawns the daemon,
+connects to Chrome, and opens a test tab. The user sees a single "Allow Remote
+Debugging" prompt the first time. After that, all sessions reuse the same connection.
+`browser_setup` is idempotent — safe to call even when already connected.
+
## Connection
You're attached to the user's real Chrome — never launch your own. If auth is required, stop and ask the user. If `browser_page_info` returns a dialog, handle it first with `browser_handle_dialog`.
