Measured in Brave on 2026-11-14: an inactive tab takes trusted CDP clicks,
key presses, text and mouse moves, and Page.captureScreenshot renders it
live. Only mouseWheel hangs, waiting for a frame. The upstream guard that
refused input to every hidden page was wrong for inactive tabs, and it is
what made a window per session look necessary.
- New sessions' tabs open inactive in the user's last focused window, in
the session's tab group; a window is created only when none is open.
- New groups start collapsed, unless their tab is the one showing, and
expand when a tab in them is brought forward. Existing groups keep the
user's setting.
- Input is refused up front only in a minimized window (untested there).
- chrome_scroll scrolls hidden pages by script instead of the wheel.
- Focus emulation on attach, so blur-sensitive menus stay open.
- Background mode is off by default. Calls still default to background;
background:false or chrome_tab activate brings a tab forward.
- Agent guidance, tool descriptions and docs say so.

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.

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.

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.

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.
