2026-09-28Release 0.15.57 (#28)Tianren Dong
2026-09-28Drop the full-screen tab rule for automation targets (#27)Tianren Dong
0.15.54 opened Pi's automation target as a tab in the user's window while it was full screen, assuming macOS would merge a new window into it as a hidden window tab. Chrome disables automatic window tabbing (app_controller_mac.mm), so that never happens; the hidden tabs came from the tab-group bug fixed in 0.15.56. Always prefer Pi's own window.
2026-09-28Report hidden Pi tab in /chrome doctor (#26)Tianren Dong
Chrome ignores clicks and typing in hidden pages. Doctor now asks the worker whether this session's own tab is visible (automation.status includeVisibility, which never creates or activates a tab) and reports the reason and fix when it is hidden.
2026-09-28Keep tab ownership across extension reloads (#25)Tianren Dong
storage.session is wiped when the extension reloads, which it does on every pi-chrome update, so Pi lost track of its automation window and session tabs and left them behind. Mirror ownership to storage.local, restore it only when the session copy is missing, re-check every restored tab (same window; adopted tabs still in Pi's group), and drop the local copy on browser startup.
2026-09-28Create session tab groups in the tab's own windowTianren Dong
chrome.tabs.group without createProperties.windowId creates the group in the current (user's) window and moves the tab there, so a session's automation tab left its dedicated window and became a hidden inactive tab. Make the unit mock match Chrome's behavior.
2026-09-28Release 0.15.56Tianren Dong
2026-09-28Fill whole textareas; cover new tabs' first page with early captureTianren Dong
chrome_fill's triple-click selected one line of a multi-line textarea, so fill replaced only that line. Select value fields with the selectAll editing command before deleting. Early capture now waits for in-flight tab.new creations, so a first page that commits before the tab is tracked is still captured.
2026-09-26Release 0.15.55Tianren Dong
2026-09-26Make Chrome primer and authorization log prompt-cache friendlyTianren Dong
- Contribute the primer as a structured prompt section instead of forcing systemPrompt. - Log pi-chrome-tool-change as a rendered custom entry that is not sent to the model.
2026-09-26Stop console capture from tripping DevTools detection; scope early capture ↵Tianren Dong
to Pi tabs Fixes #9. Sites like BOSS Zhipin log an object with a getter/toString trap and close the tab if it is read. Store captured console args raw and serialize them on read without running page code (data properties only, accessors as [getter], built-ins via native getters). Inject document-start capture only into Pi's automation tab and session-tracked tabs.
2026-09-26Report hidden-tab input, append targeted typing, smarter uploads, prune ↵Tianren Dong
screenshots; release 0.15.54 - Check page visibility before trusted input: Chrome drops input to hidden pages (inactive tabs, covered/minimized windows, macOS window tabs behind full screen). Type/key/hover/scroll/tap/drag fail fast with the reason; click/fill use their DOM fallback immediately (or reject with domFallback:false). - Use an inactive tab instead of a new window for the automation target while the user's window is full screen. - chrome_type with uid/selector moves the caret to the end (moveToEndOfDocument) after its focus click. - chrome_upload_file: labels/wrappers resolve to their file input, same-origin iframe search, and intercepted file chooser for upload buttons (trusted click when visible, user-gesture click when hidden); reject multiple paths for single-file inputs; no duplicate change event. - Prune default-folder chrome_screenshot captures (7 days, newest 20 kept, retentionDays override). - input.debug without a target no longer calls tabs.get(-1). - New hidden-input unit suite.
2026-09-26Absorb fork fixes and features; release 0.15.53Tianren Dong
Adapted from community forks (ardhiqii, kkunkunya, nihar-oracle, steimerbyte): - Abort stalled /next long polls after 45s; time out, retry, and single-post results. - Fall back to CDP Runtime.evaluate when chrome.scripting is refused (about:blank automation tabs). - Load pi-chrome in same-process subagent sessions as a bridge client; client chrome_launch reports owner status. - Add chrome_cdp (validated raw CDP passthrough, background-guarded, payload summarization) and chrome_cdp_targets. - chrome_type reports before/after values, insertedAt, splice/unchanged warnings; add replace=true. - includeSnapshot waits for navigations started by the action; tab.new reports the settled tab. - CDP timeouts surface as timeouts and are not re-sent after the cleanup detach. - Activate/deactivate chrome_find and chrome_inspect with the rest of the chrome_* tools. - New unit suites: bridge-resilience, cdp-passthrough, type-evidence.

2026-06-220.15.39: dedicated pi-chrome automation tab/window isolation (#6)TJ Dong
Stop pi-chrome from hijacking the user's active tab. Page/navigation actions with no explicit target now route to a dedicated automation window owned by the calling Pi session (falling back to a dedicated tab if a window can't be made), instead of overwriting whatever the user has open. - Session-scoped ownership: Map<sessionKey, target> in the service worker, keyed by a sessionKey forwarded from index.ts, so concurrent sessions (one shared extension) never fight over a window or close each other's tabs. - Persistence: ownership mirrored to chrome.storage.session so a service-worker restart re-hydrates and reuses the window instead of orphaning it. Cleared on full browser restart; restored windows are then left alone (never reclaimed). - getTabByParams default branch resolves the owned target; tab.activate/close/ group/ungroup pass createOwnedTarget:false so management never auto-creates a throwaway tab or falls back to the user's active tab. - Session-group integration: the dedicated-window tab still joins this session's tab group, in its own window; grouping stays best-effort. - Lifecycle: cleanup on /chrome revoke and real session end (not /reload); fire-and-forget so it never blocks /quit, /reload, or shutdown. - Tests: new test-suite/unit/automation-target.test.mjs (isolation, reuse, concurrency, restart/reconnect re-hydration, guarded tab.*, group integration, window->tab fallback, robust cleanup). Docs + CHANGELOG updated.

2026-06-060.15.36: richer chrome_snapshot + chrome_find/chrome_inspectTianren Dong
- chrome_snapshot returns a concise observation (layout, hints, actions, forms, page map, query matches, diff) with mode/query/maxTextChars params - new chrome_find (query -> ranked uids) and chrome_inspect (deep element context, with page.inspect fallback) - includeSnapshot on click/type/fill/key now embeds the formatted snapshot - snapshot/inspect logic shipped as eval-free packaged snapshot_injected.js, sharing window.__PI_CHROME_STATE__ (el- uid scheme) with existing input helpers

2026-05-310.15.29: CSP bypass via CDP Runtime.evaluate for ↵Tianren Dong
evaluate/snapshot/waitFor/initScript - evaluateInTab/executeInTab now run through CDP Runtime.evaluate instead of new Function() in MAIN world, so chrome_evaluate/chrome_snapshot work on pages that block unsafe-eval (github.com, many bank/SaaS apps). Preserves value markers (undefined/function/symbol/bigint/Error), DOMRect expansion, and the expression/statement fallback; keeps {ok,value} error envelope. - page.waitFor polls via service-worker-side CDP evaluation. - chrome_navigate initScript uses Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument. - Add npm test (test-suite/unit/csp-eval.test.mjs) and in-browser regression challenge 42 strict-csp-evaluate; update challenge 39 notes + docs/primer.

2026-05-160.15.21: version bumpTianren Dong
Tree-equivalent to v0.15.20 (preceded by the revert commit). Bumping to 0.15.21 sets the package up for normal patch releases on the 0.15.x line going forward — no version-number collisions with the unpublished 0.16/0.17 work.
2026-05-16Revert 0.16.x and 0.17.x: restore tree to v0.15.20 stateTianren Dong
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.
2026-05-160.17.3: daemon self-heal on missing-daemon fetch failureTianren Dong
In 0.17.x the daemon is a separate process that can idle-shut-down (10 min idle) or be killed externally while Pi sessions are running. Without self-heal, the next /chrome onboard or chrome_* call surfaces 'fetch failed' instead of recovering. bridge.admin() now catches the failed fetch, re-runs ensureDaemonRunning (probe -> spawn if missing), and retries once. bridge.sendViaOwner() pre-probes /status and spawns the daemon if missing before issuing the signed /command. Net effect: a missing daemon transparently respawns instead of bubbling fetch failed up to the user.
2026-05-160.17.2: fix /next lastSeenAt + strict daemon version matchTianren Dong
Bugs surfaced in real-world 0.17.0/0.17.1 testing: 1. Daemon /next only recorded lastSeenAt AFTER the auth/pair checks. Pre-pair the daemon returns needsPairing early without recording the poll, so connected stayed false even though the extension was polling. /chrome onboard's wait-for-poll loop spun forever on a healthy extension. Fix: record lastSeenAt at the top of /next for any chrome-extension origin, before auth checks. Onboard now correctly detects 'extension alive but unpaired' which is the precise state during pair step. 2. Daemon compatibility was checked at major.minor match. Result: a patch release fixing a daemon bug (like #1) couldn't replace the running daemon — new Pi client joins old buggy daemon as client. Fix: exact version match. Patch releases auto-kill+respawn the daemon.
2026-05-160.17.1: fix /chrome onboard stuck on 'Waiting for the extension to wake up'Tianren Dong
0.17.0 made the daemon own the HTTP listener, but the Pi client's bridge.status().connected still reflected the local Pi's lastSeenAt (which is never updated in the daemon model). Onboard's connect-wait loop spun forever even when the extension was polling the daemon. Fix: new ChromeProfileBridge.daemonStatus() async helper that fetches the daemon's /status. onboard, doctor, and status now query that for the 'connected' flag instead of reading stale Pi-side state.
2026-05-160.17.0: standalone daemon, no more owner-vs-client topologyTianren Dong
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.
2026-05-160.16.1: idempotent /chrome onboard + automatic stale-owner takeoverTianren Dong
User pain: machines stuck in broken state after pi-chrome upgrades because an old pi-chrome process kept holding :17318 and /chrome onboard trusted confirm() clicks without verifying anything. Both fixed. Idempotent /chrome onboard recovery flow: - Always resets Pi-side pairing state first (kills half-paired ghosts). - Step 1 covers both first-install AND v0.15->v0.16 reload (extension service worker must reload to gain the /pair logic). - Actively verifies progress at each step rather than trusting clicks: - polls bridge.status().connected (15s window) to confirm the extension polls /next, - polls bridge.bridgeAuth.paired to confirm the /pair handshake completed, - round-trips a real tab.version command to confirm the signed-envelope path works. - /chrome install is now an alias of /chrome onboard. Automatic stale-owner takeover at bridge.start(): - /status now includes bridgeVersion. - On EADDRINUSE, probe /status with 1s timeout. If unresponsive OR major.minor mismatches, locate the owner PID via lsof and kill it (SIGTERM -> SIGKILL), then re-bind. Same-version owners are joined as clients (multi-Pi sharing). - Eliminates the 'stale Pi session holding bridge' class of bugs that broke upgrades from 0.15.x. /chrome status / doctor / onboard no longer hang: - New probeExtension() short-circuits before bridge.send when the bridge can't round-trip (unpaired, or extension hasn't polled recently). Returns immediately with an actionable message instead of waiting 5-35s.
2026-05-160.16.0: mandatory pairing + signed envelopes + cross-process state coherenceTianren Dong
Major security hardening of the Chrome bridge driven by red-team findings. - Mandatory pairing via /chrome onboard (one-time per machine). Bridge pins exact chrome-extension:// origin and derives HMAC keys via HKDF. Until paired, the bridge returns idle responses and refuses to deliver commands. - Signed envelopes on /next, /result, /command. HMAC-SHA256 over protocol version, direction, method, path, extension ID, bridge ID, timestamp, fresh nonce, and SHA-256 of the body. +/-30s clock window; 5-min LRU nonce replay defense on both request and response directions; constant-time MAC compare. - Peer Pi sessions sharing the bridge sign each /command with a broker HKDF key (no bearer token transmitted) and verify the owner's signed response. - Global loopback enforcement. PI_CHROME_BRIDGE_HOST=0.0.0.0 ignored unless PI_CHROME_BRIDGE_DANGEROUS_REMOTE=1; loopback check still applies per-endpoint. - Cross-process state coherence: fs.watch + per-request mtime check on ~/.config/pi/chrome-bridge.json. A peer Pi's unpair (or any external rm/edit) propagates to the owner's in-memory state before the next privileged verify; replay caches reset on key rotation. - Body cap 1 MiB -> 413. Queue/pending/waiter caps. Malformed JSON -> 400. Non-object JSON bodies -> 400 instead of being trusted. - page.navigate initScript: try/finally around tabs.update, per-call onCommitted listener with bounded commit-wait window, one-shot delete in global onCommitted. No more stale init scripts firing on later unrelated navigations. - crypto.randomUUID() command IDs. - Manifest diet (dropped activeTab); added popup.html/popup.js for the pair UI. UX: - /chrome onboard runs install + pair in one interactive flow. - /chrome help reorganized into First-time / Day-to-day / Maintenance. - Status bar lights up as green dot only when authorized. - Early console/network capture at document_start so boot-time React errors and initial API calls aren't dropped (ported from DaniBedz/pi-chrome fork). Docs: - SECURITY.md threat model rewritten with in-scope / out-of-scope sections. - README rewritten with the install-then-pair flow front and center. - CHANGELOG 0.16.0 entry with full patch list.
2026-05-16Make chrome_* tools interruptible via AbortSignal (#1)Tianren Dong
Thread the harness AbortSignal through authorizedBridgeSend, the ChromeProfileBridge send/sendLocal/sendViaOwner paths, and every chrome_* tool's execute(). Pressing Esc now rejects the in-flight bridge call immediately (most visibly fixing chrome_wait_for, which would otherwise block for the full timeoutMs).
