Reverts the pairing + signed-envelopes work (0.16.0-0.16.1), the
standalone daemon refactor (0.17.0-0.17.3), and assorted patches.
These were unpublished from npm; this commit restores the working
tree to match the v0.15.20 release so the branch tip and the npm
'latest' dist-tag are consistent again.
Tags v0.16.0 through v0.17.3 are preserved as recovery anchors;
the work is reachable via 'git checkout v0.17.3' if ever needed.
Tree-equivalent to v0.15.20.
0.17.0: standalone daemon, no more owner-vs-client topology2026-05-16T16:46:57+00:00Tianren Dongtianrendong.dtr@gmail.com2026-05-16T16:46:57+00:00urn:sha1:2ac665ec31fe156b372540e8ac38aa42765b3001
The Chrome bridge is now a separate detached daemon at
~/.cache/pi-chrome/<version>/daemon.cjs. Every Pi session is a uniform client;
daemon lifecycle is decoupled from any Pi session. Killing a Pi never breaks
Chrome control, and pi update followed by any new Pi session auto-replaces
an incompatible daemon.
Architecture:
- New extensions/chrome-profile-bridge/daemon.cjs: ~700 LOC, zero deps, runs
detached. Owns the HTTP listener, BridgeAuth state, command queue, /pair
handshake. Idle-shuts-down after 10 min of no activity.
- ChromeProfileBridge on Pi side becomes a pure client: start() probes /status,
spawns daemon if missing/incompatible, kills+respawns if version mismatch.
send() always uses signed /command. No more server-mode branch.
- New signed /admin RPC for pair-window/reset/status state mutations the
daemon owns. Pi clients sign with broker key (same contract as /command).
- New /heartbeat for daemon idle-timer keepalive.
- daemon.log at ~/.cache/pi-chrome/<version>/daemon.log.
/chrome pair, /chrome unpair, /chrome onboard now go through /admin RPCs
instead of mutating in-process bridge state.
Removed the foreign-owner takeover dance from /chrome onboard (auto-handled
at session_start now).
Wire protocol is byte-identical to 0.16.x; existing paired extensions don't
need to re-pair. See docs/DESIGN-0.17-daemon.md for the full write-up.
