From 50d7b5fa1cdb0cc2efc7e2298ab4b011ebc158a6 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Garry Tan Date: Sat, 28 Mar 2026 23:37:58 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] fix: content trust boundary markers in browse output Wrap page-content commands (text, html, links, forms, accessibility, console, dialog, snapshot) with --- BEGIN/END UNTRUSTED EXTERNAL CONTENT --- markers. Covers direct commands (server.ts), chain sub-commands, and snapshot output (meta-commands.ts). Adds PAGE_CONTENT_COMMANDS set and wrapUntrustedContent() helper in commands.ts (single source of truth, DRY). Expands the SKILL.md trust warning with explicit processing rules for agents. Clears Snyk W011 (third-party content exposure).
