Garry Tan 920a13a17f v1.44.0.0 feat: long-lived sidebar — keepalive, restart, re-attach, scrollback replay (#1678)
* fix(browse): identity-based terminal-agent kill replaces pkill regex

Commit 0 of the v1.44 long-lived-sidebar PR — foundation for the watchdog
and removes a latent cross-session footgun.

`pkill -f terminal-agent\.ts` (cli.ts spawn site + server.ts shutdown) matched
by argv regex and would kill ANY process whose argv contained the string —
sibling gstack sessions on the same host, an editor with the file open, a
second `$B connect` run. Identity-based PID kill via a new helper module
removes that whole class of bug.

  * New `browse/src/terminal-agent-control.ts`: `readAgentRecord`,
    `writeAgentRecord`, `clearAgentRecord`, `killAgentByRecord`. Validates
    PID liveness via `isProcessAlive` before signaling (PID-reuse defense).
  * `terminal-agent.ts` writes `<stateDir>/terminal-agent-pid` (JSON
    `{pid, gen, startedAt}`) at boot; clears on SIGTERM/SIGINT.
  * New per-boot `CURRENT_GEN` (16-byte random); `/internal/*` callers can
    include `X-Browse-Gen` to defend against split-brain in the upcoming
    watchdog. Absent header is accepted (backward compat); mismatch returns
    409. New `checkInternalAuth` helper centralizes bearer + gen checks.
  * New `/internal/healthz` route — agent liveness probe used by the
    upcoming watchdog (returns pid/gen/sessions, no claude-binary lookup).
  * `cli.ts` and `server.ts` both call `killAgentByRecord` instead of pkill.
  * `ServerConfig.ownsTerminalAgent` JSDoc updated; the gated teardown now
    runs 4 side effects (was 3) — adds the new agent-record unlink.

Test changes:

  * New `browse/test/terminal-agent-pid-identity.test.ts` — static-grep
    tripwire that fails CI if any source file re-introduces `pkill ...
    terminal-agent` or `spawnSync('pkill', ...)`; round-trips
    write/read/clear; verifies killAgentByRecord no-ops on dead PIDs.
  * `browse/test/server-embedder-terminal-port.test.ts` rewritten to
    intercept `process.kill` (not `child_process.spawnSync`); writes a
    sentinel agent-record with a guaranteed-dead PID; asserts probe-only
    (signal 0) calls, no termination signals; verifies all 3 discovery
    files including the new terminal-agent-pid.

Closes TODOS.md P3 ("Identity-based terminal-agent kill").

* fix(tests): repair 7 pre-existing failures (env pollution + stale markers)

All 7 failures existed on main before this branch — verified via `git stash`
round-trip. Bundling them into the long-lived-sidebar PR because we kept
tripping over them while running `bun test` to verify Commit 0.

  * Global afterEach restores `process.env.PATH` (new bunfig.toml +
    test-setup.ts). browser-skill-commands.test.ts sets
    `PATH = '/test/bin:/usr/bin'` to exercise a scrubbed-env fixture and
    used the broken `process.env = origEnv` reassignment pattern that
    swaps the proxy reference; the underlying env stayed mutated and
    leaked downstream. Fixed three call sites in that file and added a
    narrow PATH-only global guardrail so a future polluter can't bring
    the bug back. Killed: pair-agent-tunnel-eval (bun ENOENT),
    security.test.ts > resolveBashBinary (Bun.which('bash') null),
    server-no-import-side-effects (bun ENOENT).
  * server-auth.test.ts: two `sliceBetween` markers referenced strings
    deleted when sidebar-agent.ts was ripped — `'Sidebar agent started'`
    → `'Terminal agent started'`, `'Sidebar endpoints'` → `'Batch endpoint'`.
    Also fixed the pair-agent BROWSE_PARENT_PID assertion (the literal
    `serverEnv.BROWSE_PARENT_PID` never existed in source; the actual
    contract is the object-literal `BROWSE_PARENT_PID: '0'` inside the
    `const serverEnv` declaration).
  * test/upgrade-migration-v1.test.ts: also overrides HOME in the spawn
    env. The migration shells out to `${HOME}/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config`
    and a developer's real config with `explain_level` set causes the
    script to take the "user already decided" branch and skip writing
    the pending-prompt flag the test asserts on.
  * test/setup-codesign.test.ts: replaced fragile `bun run build`
    string-match (which hit a comment 700 lines later) with the actual
    invocation `bun_cmd run build` used in the setup script.

Net: full suite is now green; CI no longer trips on bash/bun-ENOENT
from PATH pollution or on test markers that drifted with the codebase.

* refactor(terminal-agent): extract internalHandler<T> helper for /internal/* routes

Replaces the copy-pasted bearer-auth + X-Browse-Gen + req.json().then().catch()
boilerplate on /internal/grant and /internal/revoke with a single
internalHandler<T>(req, fn) wrapper. Future /internal/* routes added by the
v1.44 long-lived-sidebar work (/internal/lease-refresh, /internal/restart)
land as one-liners using the same helper. Pure refactor; no behavior change.

/internal/healthz stays on the bare checkInternalAuth gate because it's a
GET with no JSON body to parse — the helper's body-parse path would 400 it.

  * browse/src/terminal-agent.ts — new internalHandler<T>; /internal/grant
    + /internal/revoke routed through it.
  * browse/test/terminal-agent-internal-handler.test.ts — static-grep
    tripwire that fails CI if the helper goes away or either of the two
    refactored routes regresses to the old inline pattern.

* feat(terminal-agent): 25s WS keepalive ping/pong + client keepalive frames

PTY connections were dying silently after NAT idle timeouts (30-60s on most
home routers, even shorter on some carrier-grade NAT) and Chrome MV3 panel
suspension. Neither side noticed until the user's next keystroke produced
no output. Both sides now drive a 25s keepalive cycle.

Server side (browse/src/terminal-agent.ts):
  * New ws.open handler constructs the PtySession eagerly and starts a
    setInterval that sends `{type:"ping",ts:Date.now()}` every 25s.
    Interval handle stored on session.pingInterval so close() can clear it.
  * PtySession.pingInterval field added; cleared in ws.close before
    disposeSession runs. Prevents timer leak across reconnects.
  * Message handler accepts `{type:"ping"|"pong"|"keepalive"}` silently —
    keepalive frames are a liveness signal at the TCP layer, no state to
    update. Existing resize/tabSwitch/tabState handling unchanged.
  * GSTACK_PTY_KEEPALIVE_INTERVAL_MS env knob (default 25000) lets the
    upcoming e2e tests compress idle assertions without 30s waits.

Client side (extension/sidepanel-terminal.js):
  * Belt-and-suspenders: client also runs a 25s setInterval that sends
    `{type:"keepalive"}`. Defends against Chrome pausing our timers if
    the server-side ping ever gets dropped (rare but possible in MV3).
  * Ping reply: on `{type:"ping",ts}` from the server, immediately send
    `{type:"pong",ts}`. Lets the agent observe round-trip latency for
    free and confirms the channel is bidirectional.
  * Interval cleared in three teardown paths: ws.close handler,
    teardown(), forceRestart(). Three paths exist because the sidebar
    can exit the LIVE state through any of them; all three must clean up
    or we leak timers across reconnects.

Test (browse/test/terminal-agent-keepalive.test.ts):
  * Static-grep tripwires for the 7-point protocol contract: agent has
    a configurable interval, open() starts the ping, close() clears it,
    message handler accepts keepalive vocabulary, client sends keepalive
    + replies pong, and all three client teardown paths clear the timer.
  * Wire-level tests (actually observe a ping after 25s) belong in the
    e2e tier — adding them here would either flake on slow CI or require
    a real Bun.serve listener per test which we don't want to pay for
    in the free tier.

* feat(sidebar): patient tryAutoConnect — poll forever with ascending status, abort only on 401

The 15s give-up message ("Browse server not ready. Reload sidebar to retry.")
fired on every cold start where the daemon took >15s to bind — common on
Conductor workspaces, CI runners, and any system under load. The user
already opened the sidebar; telling them to give up is the wrong default.

Now polls every 2s indefinitely with ascending status messages:
  *   0 - 15s : silent (handles the happy path on a warm laptop)
  *  15 - 60s : "Waiting for browse server..."
  *  60s - 5m : "Still waiting — browse server may be slow to start."
  *      > 5m : "Browse server still not responding after 5 min. Try `$B status`."

Loop aborts on three signals only:
  * state transitions out of IDLE (connect succeeded or user navigated)
  * autoConnectAborted sticky flag set on unrecoverable error
  * the panel itself unloading (browser handles this; pagehide cleanup
    arrives with T8 of the larger plan)

401 from /pty-session sets the sticky flag with a clear "Auth invalid —
reload the sidebar or restart your gstack session." message. Without the
flag, the loop would re-call connect() every 2s and spam the same error;
with it, the user sees the message once and the loop holds. forceRestart()
clears the flag so clicking Restart is the explicit "try again" escape hatch.

Bumped poll interval 200ms → 2000ms — the legacy tight loop burned CPU
for no reason. 2s is plenty fast for a "did the daemon come up yet" check.

* feat(browse): terminal-agent watchdog with PID liveness + crash-loop guard

terminal-agent could die independently of the server — SIGKILL from the OS
OOM killer, an uncaught exception under PTY churn, an external `pkill` from
a sibling debugging session. Pre-v1.44 the sidebar would observe the broken
connection and stay broken until the user reloaded the sidebar. Now a 60s
ticker checks the recorded agent PID and respawns via the shared
spawnTerminalAgent helper when dead.

Identity-based liveness (T4 from the eng review):
  * Uses readAgentRecord + isProcessAlive (signal 0 probe), not a name match.
  * Slow-but-alive agents intentionally fall through — respawning around a
    living agent would create split-brain (two agents writing the port
    file, tokens diverging between them, mystery upgrade 401s).
  * Pairs with the v1.44 generation counter in /internal/* loopback calls:
    if a stale agent does come back to life mid-cycle, its X-Browse-Gen
    no longer matches and the parent's calls 409 cleanly.

Crash-loop guard:
  * 3 respawn attempts inside a rolling 60s window → stop trying. A daemon
    up for a week with one crash a day shouldn't trip the guard.
  * On trip: one-line error to console (`respawn guard tripped`) and the
    watchdog goes dormant. Manual restart via the sidebar Restart button
    is the explicit signal to re-arm (added in Commit 2 of the larger PR).

Shared spawn path (refactor):
  * New spawnTerminalAgent(opts) in terminal-agent-control.ts handles:
    prior-PID cleanup → spawn → record stash. Both the CLI cold-start path
    in cli.ts and the new server.ts watchdog route through it. Removes the
    copy-paste between them; future env wiring lands in one place.

Gated on cfg.ownsTerminalAgent — embedders that pre-launch their own PTY
server (gbrowser phoenix overlay) still own the full lifecycle.

GSTACK_AGENT_WATCHDOG_TICK_MS env knob compresses the 60s tick for e2e
tests without 60s waits per assertion.

Tests:
  * browse/test/terminal-agent-watchdog.test.ts — 7 static-grep tripwires
    for the load-bearing invariants (ownsTerminalAgent gate, PID-based
    liveness, crash-loop guard with window pruning, shutdown cleanup,
    CLI cold-start uses the same helper, env knob exists).
  * Live process-kill tests belong in the e2e tier; cheaper invariants
    here catch refactor regressions in ~1ms each.

* feat(cli): opt-in outer supervisor — respawn browse server on crash

Pre-v1.44 `$B connect` was fire-and-forget: spawn server detached, CLI
exits, server runs unsupervised. If the server crashed (OOM, uncaught
exception, signal kill from a runaway debugger), the user had to notice,
re-run `$B connect`, and resume work. The v1.44 terminal-agent watchdog
recovers from one layer of failure; this commit closes the outer loop.

Opt-in via `--supervise` flag or `BROWSE_SUPERVISE=1` env. Default
behavior is unchanged — every existing caller (Claude Code's Bash tool,
scripts, CI) still gets a prompt return. When the flag is set:

  * CLI stays attached, polls server PID every 30s via readState() +
    isProcessAlive (same identity primitive as the terminal-agent watchdog).
  * On unexpected exit: respawn via the same headed-mode startServer path
    used initially, then re-spawn the terminal-agent so the PTY recovers
    too (otherwise sidebar Restart is the only path back).
  * Crash-loop guard: 5 respawns in a rolling 5-min window → exit 1 with
    a clear error. Window pruning means a long-lived daemon with sporadic
    crashes does NOT trip the guard (otherwise we punish the user for the
    supervisor doing its job).
  * Backoff: 1s, 2s, 4s, 8s, 30s capped. Env-overridable via
    GSTACK_SUPERVISOR_BACKOFF for tests.
  * SIGINT / SIGTERM: clean teardown — signals the supervised server
    before exiting itself. Without this, Ctrl-C leaves an orphaned server.

Out of scope (deferred follow-up): routing the Chromium-disconnect
exit-code-1 path back through this supervisor. The terminal-agent
watchdog already covers the highest-frequency restart case; Chromium
crash recovery joins the queue as its own commit.

Test (browse/test/cli-supervisor.test.ts):
  * 6 static-grep tripwires: opt-in default, signal wiring, crash-loop
    guard with window pruning, backoff schedule env knob, tick interval
    env knob, terminal-agent re-spawn after server respawn.
  * Live respawn tests belong in the e2e tier (real spawn cycles take
    3-8s each; spamming these in the free tier would balloon CI time).

* feat(browse): pty-session-lease registry — stable sessionId + lease lifecycle

Foundation for Commit 2 of the long-lived-sidebar PR. Separates two
concerns that pre-v1.44 were conflated under one token:

  * sessionId — stable, non-secret identifier for a single PTY session.
    Safe to log, safe in URLs, safe in DevTools. Identifies "this terminal,"
    not "you're allowed to use this terminal."
  * lease — server-side bookkeeping that maps sessionId → expiresAt.
    Re-attach within the lease window resumes the same PTY; expiry tears
    it down.

The companion attach-token primitive (short-lived 30s bearer) reuses the
existing browse/src/pty-session-cookie.ts module unchanged — the lease
adds a name-space alongside, it doesn't replace anything.

Codex outside-voice (T1 of the eng review) flagged the original D4
"token IS sessionId" design as conflating identity with auth. The fix
is this lease registry: re-attach URLs carry the stable sessionId
(loggable), the short-lived attachToken stays out of logs.

API:
  * mintLease() → { sessionId, expiresAt }
  * validateLease(sessionId) → { ok: true, expiresAt } | { ok: false }
  * refreshLease(sessionId) — validate-first, never resurrects expired
    leases. Security-critical: the 30-min TTL is what bounds blast
    radius for a leaked attachToken whose lease should have GC'd.
  * revokeLease(sessionId) — explicit dispose path.
  * leaseCount() — observability helper.
  * __resetLeases() — test-only.

TTL env knob (GSTACK_PTY_LEASE_TTL_MS) lets v1.44 e2e tests compress
the detach window to 1s instead of waiting 30 minutes per assertion.

Server.ts wiring + /pty-session shape change + /pty-restart + /pty-dispose
+ /pty-session/reattach all land in subsequent commits in this branch.

Test (browse/test/pty-session-lease.test.ts):
  * 8 cases pinning mint uniqueness, validate-first refresh contract,
    revoke idempotency, null/undefined tolerance, and the negative case
    that refresh never resurrects a revoked lease (same code path as
    expired-and-pruned).

* feat(terminal-agent): sessionId-aware grant + scoped restart + eager spawn

Wires the pty-session-lease primitive (3aada48b) into terminal-agent so
the Commit 2 work in server.ts (next commit) can route /pty-restart and
re-attach by session identity rather than by single-use token.

Changes:

  * validTokens: Set<string> → Map<string, string|null>. Each grant carries
    its bound sessionId (or null for legacy single-grant callers). On WS
    upgrade, the agent surfaces the bound sessionId via ws.data so open()
    can register the session in the new reverse index.
  * sessionsById: Map<sessionId, PtySession> — populated in open(),
    cleared in close(). Required so /internal/restart can find and dispose
    one specific session by id rather than enumerating all live sessions.
  * /internal/restart: scoped to one sessionId. Codex T2 of the eng review
    caught the gap — pre-spec the route would have disposed every PTY on
    the agent, breaking pair-agent and any future multi-sidebar setup.
    The body now requires `{sessionId}`; missing or unknown id returns
    `{killed: 0}` and leaves siblings alone.
  * maybeSpawnPty(ws, session): hoisted from the inline binary-frame spawn
    block so both the legacy "spawn on first keystroke" trigger AND the
    new `{type:"start"}` text-frame trigger land in the same code path.
    Idempotent on session.spawned.
  * `{type:"start"}` text frame: explicit spawn trigger. forceRestart
    (extension side, lands in Commit 2C) sends this immediately on every
    fresh WS so claude boots without requiring a keystroke. Pre-v1.44 the
    lazy-binary-spawn pattern made the restart feel stuck.
  * close(ws): drops the sessionsById entry alongside the existing
    sessions WeakMap + validTokens cleanup. Commit 3 will revisit this to
    keep the session alive for a 60s detach window before disposing.

Test (browse/test/terminal-agent-session-routing.test.ts):
  * 8 static-grep tripwires pinning the load-bearing properties: validTokens
    is a Map (not Set), sessionsById exists, /internal/restart is scoped
    (negative-assert against enumerate-all patterns), WS upgrade plumbs
    sessionId, maybeSpawnPty is the single spawn entry, close() drops the
    index. Live spawn cycles belong in the e2e tier.

* feat(server): /pty-session 4-tuple + /pty-restart + /pty-dispose + lease-refresh

Wires the lease + attachToken model end-to-end on the server side. The
client side (extension) lands in the next commit; agent side already
shipped in 449144cd.

Routes:
  * POST /pty-session — mints sessionId (stable, loggable) + lease
    (server-side bookkeeping) + attachToken (short-lived bearer for the
    WS upgrade). Returns the 4-tuple in one round trip. Legacy
    ptySessionToken / expiresAt aliases kept for one minor release so
    extensions on the v1.43 wire shape keep working.
  * POST /pty-session/reattach — validates a sessionId's lease and mints
    a FRESH attachToken bound to the same sessionId. Used by Commit 3's
    re-attach loop; 410 Gone when the lease has expired so the client
    knows to fall back to a brand-new /pty-session.
  * POST /pty-restart — one transaction: dispose the caller's existing
    PtySession on the agent (via /internal/restart, scoped to one
    sessionId — codex T2), revoke the old lease, mint a fresh
    sessionId + lease + attachToken, return the 4-tuple. Zero race
    window between kill and mint (codex T2 + D8 of the eng review).
  * POST /pty-dispose — explicit teardown. sendBeacon-compatible: accepts
    auth token in the body so the extension's pagehide handler (Commit 2C)
    can fire it without setting custom headers (sendBeacon doesn't
    support those). Without this route, every clean browser quit leaves
    a zombie PTY alive for the 60s detach window — codex T3 caught it.
  * POST /internal/lease-refresh — loopback from terminal-agent on its
    25s keepalive cycle (lazy: only when lease is within 5 min of
    expiry). Refreshes the lease AND resets the daemon idle timer. T6
    of the eng review: PTY activity (not arbitrary SSE consumers) is
    what keeps the daemon alive when the sidebar is in use.

Helpers:
  * grantPtyToken now accepts optional sessionId and passes it through
    to the agent's /internal/grant body. The agent binds token → sessionId
    in its validTokens Map so /ws upgrades carry the sessionId for
    /internal/restart and Commit 3 re-attach lookups.
  * restartPtySession() — new loopback helper that POSTs the agent's
    scoped /internal/restart with a sessionId body. Used by /pty-restart
    and /pty-dispose.

Auth contract on /pty-dispose deliberately accepts the auth token in
EITHER the Authorization header OR the request body. The body path is
required for sendBeacon (which can't set custom headers); the header
path stays available for non-beacon callers and tests.

Test (browse/test/server-pty-lease-routes.test.ts):
  * 7 static-grep tripwires pinning the 4-tuple shape, validate-first
    re-attach with 410 fallback, one-transaction restart semantics,
    sendBeacon-compatible dispose auth, and the T6 PTY-only idle reset.
  * Live route exercises (full mint + grant + WS upgrade cycle) belong
    in the e2e tier — they require a real terminal-agent loopback and
    take seconds per assertion.

* feat(sidebar): forceRestart via /pty-restart + pagehide /pty-dispose

Closes the Commit 2 loop: server-side lease + restart routes shipped in
25ef24e9; this commit wires the extension client to use them. End-to-end
result — clicking Restart now actually kills the server's PTY before
opening a new WS (zero race window), and closing the sidebar / quitting
the browser disposes the PTY immediately instead of letting it linger
for the upcoming 60s detach window.

sidepanel-terminal.js:
  * mintSession callers read the v1.44 4-tuple (sessionId + attachToken)
    from /pty-session, with a backward-compat fallback to ptySessionToken
    so a partially-updated extension still works against a fresh server
    for one minor release.
  * Eager spawn via {type:"start"} text frame replaces the legacy
    `TextEncoder().encode("\n")` newline hack. Pre-v1.44, the lazy-binary-
    spawn pattern made forceRestart look stuck until the user typed —
    now claude boots before the prompt renders.
  * forceRestart() rewritten as an async one-transaction handler:
      1. close current WS with code 4001 (intentional-restart)
      2. POST /pty-restart with priorSessionId so the server can scope
         the dispose, then mint fresh sessionId + lease + attachToken
         in the same response
      3. Open new WS with the returned attachToken, send {type:"start"}
         immediately for eager spawn
      4. On 401: sticky-abort the auto-connect loop (no spam)
      5. On 503 / network failure: fall back to patient autoconnect
  * currentSessionId tracked and exposed on window.gstackPtySession so
    sidepanel.js's pagehide handler can sendBeacon the dispose.

sidepanel.js:
  * New pagehide handler fires navigator.sendBeacon('/pty-dispose',
    {sessionId, authToken}) on tab close, panel close, browser quit,
    or extension reload. sendBeacon-compatible: auth token rides in
    the body since sendBeacon can't set custom headers (server route
    accepts body-auth per 25ef24e9).
  * try/catch around the entire body so a sendBeacon failure can't
    interfere with the browser's unload sequence — the 60s detach
    window from Commit 3 catches anything we miss.

There's bounded duplication between connect() and forceRestart() (~70
lines of WS attach/handler wiring). Extracting a shared helper is a
clean follow-up but out of scope for the v1.44 ship — both paths are
exercised by the same e2e test.

Test (browse/test/sidepanel-restart-dispose.test.ts):
  * 9 static-grep tripwires pinning the 4-tuple parse, eager spawn,
    close-code 4001 contract, /pty-restart wire shape, sticky-abort
    401 path, sessionId window plumbing, sendBeacon body contract,
    and the best-effort try/catch around pagehide.

* feat(terminal-agent): scrollback ring buffer + detach state machine + re-attach

The agent side of Commit 3 — the "magic" feature. A network blip (wifi
hiccup, MV3 panel suspend, brief Chromium pause) now silently reconnects
the sidebar to the SAME claude session with scrollback intact. No more
"Session ended" message + manual Restart click + losing your tool-call
output. Server-side /pty-session/reattach (25ef24e9) and the extension
re-attach loop (next commit) close the loop end-to-end.

Ring buffer (T10):
  * Per-session frames: Buffer[] capped at 1 MB (env-overridable via
    GSTACK_PTY_RING_BUFFER_BYTES). Each PTY write is one frame, so
    eviction is at frame boundaries and never cuts a UTF-8 sequence or
    ANSI CSI in half.
  * appendToRingBuffer eviction loop keeps at least one frame even at
    extreme caps — a single oversized frame can't empty the buffer.
  * Alt-screen tracking via canonical xterm CSI ?1049h / CSI ?1049l
    sequences. lastIndexOf comparison so trailing state wins when both
    appear in one render frame (quick tool-call open+close).

Replay payload (T5 — codex outside-voice):
  * buildReplayPayload prefixes DECSTR soft reset (\x1b[!p) and
    conditionally re-enters alt-screen if claude was in a tool call at
    detach. The client writes RIS (\x1bc) FIRST to clear pre-blip xterm
    content; the server's prelude resets character attributes; the ring
    buffer replays cleanly on top.
  * Order is enforced by the {type:"reattach-begin"} text frame the
    agent sends right before the binary replay — client waits for it,
    writes RIS, then treats the next binary frame as the replay payload.

Detach state machine (T9):
  * PtySession.liveWs decouples the PTY callback from the original ws
    closure. On re-attach, swapping session.liveWs is enough — the
    on-data callback writes to the new ws automatically.
  * close(ws, code, _reason): codes 4001 (intentional restart), 4404
    (no-claude), and 1000 (clean exit) trigger immediate dispose.
    Anything else (1006 abnormal, 1001 going-away from network blip /
    panel suspend) starts a 60s detach timer instead. claude keeps
    running, output keeps accumulating in the ring buffer.
  * Detach timer is unref'd so the bun process can still exit cleanly
    on natural shutdown.
  * Sessions without a sessionId (legacy single-shot grants) can't
    re-attach by definition — those fall through to immediate dispose.

Re-attach lookup (T9):
  * WS open() checks sessionsById[sessionId] FIRST. If a detached
    session is sitting there, cancel its detach timer, swap liveWs,
    rebind the WS-keyed map, restart keepalive, send reattach-begin
    + replay payload. The PTY process is unchanged.
  * /internal/restart now cancels any pending detach timer before
    disposal — otherwise the timer would later try to dispose an
    already-disposed session.

Env knobs for e2e:
  * GSTACK_PTY_RING_BUFFER_BYTES — compress to 256 for eviction tests.
  * GSTACK_PTY_DETACH_WINDOW_MS — compress to 1000 for "did the timer
    fire?" tests without waiting a minute per assertion.

Tests:
  * browse/test/terminal-agent-detach-reattach.test.ts — 10 static-grep
    tripwires for the load-bearing properties: interface shape, env
    knobs, eviction floor, alt-screen tracking, replay prelude
    composition, re-attach lookup, close-code routing, detach timer
    unref, /internal/restart timer cancellation, on-data through
    session.liveWs.
  * browse/test/terminal-agent-session-routing.test.ts test 7 widened
    to match the new close(ws, code, _reason) signature.
  * browse/test/terminal-agent-keepalive.test.ts test 3 widened
    similarly. Both stay regressions for the prior contract.

* feat(sidebar): silent re-attach with scrollback replay (Commit 3 client side)

Closes the v1.44 long-lived-sidebar loop end-to-end. When the WS dies for
a transient reason (wifi blip, MV3 panel suspend, brief Chromium pause),
the sidebar now silently re-attaches to the SAME claude session inside the
server's 60s detach window. Scrollback replays cleanly; the user keeps
typing without noticing anything happened.

State machine:
  * New STATE.RECONNECTING covers the in-flight re-attach window.
    setState transitions out of this state reset reattachInFlight so a
    concurrent user action (Restart click, panel navigate) short-circuits
    cleanly.
  * Backoff schedule REATTACH_BACKOFF_MS = [1000, 2000, 4000, 8000] then
    8s steady until REATTACH_WINDOW_MS (60s) elapses. Past that point
    the server has disposed our session and /pty-session/reattach
    returns 410 Gone.

startReattachLoop(prevSessionId):
  * Posts /pty-session/reattach with sessionId.
  * On 200 with a valid 4-tuple, opens the post-reattach WS directly.
  * On 410 (lease expired) — short-circuits to ENDED. No retry; the user
    clicks Restart for a fresh session.
  * On 401 — sticky-aborts the auto-connect loop. Same defense as 25ef24e9
    so we don't spam "Auth invalid" every 2s.
  * On network failure or other non-OK status — schedules the next
    backoff tick.

openReattachWebSocket(terminalPort, attachToken, sessionId):
  * Mostly a clone of connect()'s attach wiring. Reuses the live xterm
    element — RIS clears the buffer cleanly when the agent's
    {type:"reattach-begin"} arrives, so the visual flash is minimal.
  * Handshake: on `{type:"reattach-begin"}` text frame → write `\x1bc`
    (RIS) to xterm + set nextBinaryIsReplay = true. The next binary
    frame IS the server-built replay payload (DECSTR soft-reset prefix
    + optional alt-screen re-enter + ring buffer contents).
  * If THIS reattach WS also dies uncleanly, recurses into another
    re-attach loop with the same sessionId — the server's detach window
    may still be open. State guard prevents runaway recursion.

connect() + forceRestart() close handlers (existing):
  * Both updated to call startReattachLoop on transient close codes
    (anything other than 1000 / 4001 / 4404). Was just setState(ENDED).
  * Clean codes still bypass — re-attaching to a force-restart's
    pre-restart session would be the bug we're avoiding.

Test (browse/test/sidepanel-reattach.test.ts):
  * 8 static-grep tripwires for the load-bearing properties: state
    constant, backoff schedule, /pty-session/reattach wiring, 410
    short-circuit (no retry past lease window), 401 sticky-abort,
    reattach-begin → RIS handshake, all three close handlers route
    through the loop, clean-code bypass.

* test(terminal-agent): runtime tests for ring buffer + replay + alt-screen tracking

Companion to browse/test/terminal-agent-detach-reattach.test.ts (static-grep
tripwires) — calls appendToRingBuffer + buildReplayPayload directly to prove
behavioral correctness without spinning up a real Bun.serve listener.

  * 11 runtime cases: append + byte counting, oversize eviction with
    one-frame floor (the eviction loop guard that prevents an oversized
    single frame from emptying the buffer), alt-screen tracking via
    canonical xterm CSI ?1049h / CSI ?1049l, trailing-state-wins for
    enter+exit pairs inside a single render frame, soft-reset prefix
    ordering, optional alt-screen re-enter, payload length math.
  * Exports appendToRingBuffer, buildReplayPayload, and the PtySession
    interface from terminal-agent.ts (purely for testability — they
    were module-private; the change is annotation-only).
  * Lease registry sanity check: mint two sessions, verify distinct
    sessionIds, both valid simultaneously. Catches future refactors
    that accidentally couple lease + ring buffer.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(tests): explain_level unset returns the documented default, not empty

Pre-existing failure on main — the test expected gstack-config to return
"" for an unset explain_level (with the comment "preamble default takes
over"), but the script at bin/gstack-config:103 explicitly returns
"default" inline for that key. Earlier versions of the script may have
relied on shell-substitution fallback, but the current contract is
inline-default-on-get so callers always receive a usable value without
bash gymnastics.

Updated the test to match the actual contract. Also added GSTACK_HOME
override alongside GSTACK_STATE_DIR in the spawn env so developer-machine
config doesn't bleed into the test.

Garry Tan 25cf5edf21 v1.39.0.0 feat: buildFetchHandler factory unblocks gbrowser submodule consumption (#1511)
* feat: buildFetchHandler factory unblocks gbrowser submodule consumption

Add buildFetchHandler(cfg: ServerConfig): ServerHandle in browse/src/server.ts.
Refactor start() to delegate handler construction to the factory and read env
once via resolveConfigFromEnv(). Wire the beforeRoute hook (runs after the
tunnel surface filter, before per-route dispatch).

Auth is now cfg-driven end-to-end. Module-level AUTH_TOKEN const +
initRegistry(AUTH_TOKEN) boot call, validateAuth, and shutdown are deleted;
factory closure owns them. start() threads cfg.authToken into launchHeaded,
the state-file write, and the factory.

initRegistry is idempotent for same-token re-init; throws clearly for
different-token re-init. __resetRegistry() test helper added (mirrors
__resetConnectRateLimit). Existing tests that did rotateRoot() ->
initRegistry('fixed-token') swap to __resetRegistry() to avoid the new guard.

14 factory contract tests added covering ServerHandle shape, auth wiring,
validation throws, hook semantics across both surfaces, and registry
idempotency.

Source-pattern tests in dual-listener.test.ts and server-auth.test.ts
updated for the new identifiers (handle.fetchLocal/fetchTunnel, authToken,
shutdownFn).

Garry Tan e8893a18b1 v1.20.0.0 feat: browser-skills runtime + gbrain-support carryover (#1233)
* feat(gbrain-sync): queue primitives + writer shims

Adds bin/gstack-brain-enqueue (atomic append to sync queue) and
bin/gstack-jsonl-merge (git merge driver, ts-sort with SHA-256 fallback).
Wires one backgrounded enqueue call into learnings-log, timeline-log,
review-log, and developer-profile --migrate. question-log and
question-preferences stay local per Codex v2 decision.

gstack-config gains gbrain_sync_mode (off/artifacts-only/full) and
gbrain_sync_mode_prompted keys, plus GSTACK_HOME env alignment so
tests don't leak into real ~/.gstack/config.yaml.

* feat(gbrain-sync): --once drain + secret scan + push

bin/gstack-brain-sync is the core sync binary. Subcommands: --once
(drain queue, allowlist-filter, privacy-class-filter, secret-scan
staged diff, commit with template, push with fetch+merge retry),
--status, --skip-file <path>, --drop-queue --yes, --discover-new
(cursor-based detection of artifact writes that skip the shim).

Secret regex families: AWS keys, GitHub tokens (ghp_/gho_/ghu_/ghs_/
ghr_/github_pat_), OpenAI sk-, PEM blocks, JWTs, bearer-token-in-JSON.
On hit: unstage, preserve queue, print remediation hint (--skip-file
or edit), exit clean. No daemon — invoked by preamble at skill
boundaries.

* feat(gbrain-sync): init, restore, uninstall, consumer registry

bin/gstack-brain-init: idempotent first-run. git init ~/.gstack/,
.gitignore=*, canonical .brain-allowlist + .brain-privacy-map.json,
pre-commit secret-scan hook (defense-in-depth), merge driver registration
via git config, gh repo create --private OR arbitrary --remote <url>,
initial push, ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt for new-machine discovery,
GBrain consumer registration via HTTP POST.

bin/gstack-brain-restore: safe new-machine bootstrap. Refuses clobber
of existing allowlisted files, clones to staging, rsync-copies tracked
files, re-registers merge drivers (required — not cloned from remote),
rehydrates consumers.json, prompts for per-consumer tokens.

bin/gstack-brain-uninstall: clean off-ramp. Removes .git + .brain-*
files + consumers.json + config keys. Preserves user data (learnings,
plans, retros, profile). Optional --delete-remote for GitHub repos.

bin/gstack-brain-consumer + bin/gstack-brain-reader (symlink alias):
registry management. Internal 'consumer' term; user-facing 'reader'
per DX review decision.

* feat(gbrain-sync): preamble block — privacy gate + boundary sync

scripts/resolvers/preamble/generate-brain-sync-block.ts emits bash that
runs at every skill invocation:
- Detects ~/.gstack-brain-remote.txt on machines without local .git
  and surfaces a restore-available hint (does NOT auto-run restore).
- Runs gstack-brain-sync --once at skill start to drain any pending
  writes (and at skill end via prose instruction).
- Once-per-day auto-pull (cached via .brain-last-pull) for append-only
  JSONL files.
- Emits BRAIN_SYNC: status line every skill run.

Also emits prose for the host LLM to fire the one-time privacy
stop-gate (full / artifacts-only / off) when gbrain is detected and
gbrain_sync_mode_prompted is false. Wired into preamble.ts composition.

* test(gbrain-sync): 27-test consolidated suite

test/brain-sync.test.ts covers:
- Config: validation, defaults, GSTACK_HOME env isolation
- Enqueue: no-op gates, skip list, concurrent atomicity, JSON escape
- JSONL merge driver: 3-way + ts-sort + SHA-256 fallback
- Init + sync: canonical file creation, merge driver registration,
  push-reject + fetch+merge retry path
- Init refuses different remote (idempotency)
- Cross-machine restore round-trip (machine A write → machine B sees)
- Secret scan across all 6 regex families (AWS, GH, OpenAI, PEM, JWT,
  bearer-JSON). --skip-file unblock remediation
- Uninstall removes sync config, preserves user data
- --discover-new idempotence via mtime+size cursor

Behaviors verified via integration smokes during implementation. Known
follow-up: bun-test 5s default timeout needs 30s wrapper for
spawnSync-heavy tests.

* docs(gbrain-sync): user guide + error lookup + README section

docs/gbrain-sync.md: setup walkthrough, privacy modes, cross-machine
workflow, secret protection, two-machine conflict handling, uninstall,
troubleshooting reference.

docs/gbrain-sync-errors.md: problem/cause/fix index for every
user-visible error. Patterned on Rust's error docs + Stripe's API
error reference.

README.md: 'Cross-machine memory with GBrain sync' section near the
top (discovery moment), plus docs-table entry.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.7.0.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: regenerate SKILL.md files for gbrain-sync preamble block

Re-runs bun run gen:skill-docs after adding generateBrainSyncBlock
to scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts in a2aa8a07. CI check-freshness
caught the drift. All 36 SKILL.md files regenerated with the new
skill-start bash block + privacy-gate prose + skill-end sync
instructions baked in.

* fix(test): session-awareness reads AskUserQuestion Format from a Tier 2+ SKILL.md

The test was reading ROOT/SKILL.md (browse skill, Tier 1) which never
contained '## AskUserQuestion Format' — that section is only emitted
for Tier 2+ skills by scripts/resolvers/preamble.ts. As a result the
agent was prompted with an empty format guide and only emitted
'RECOMMENDATION' intermittently, making the test flaky.

Pre-existing on main (same ROOT/SKILL.md shape there) — surfaced now
because the agent run didn't hit the RECOMMENDATION/recommend/option a
fallback strings in this particular attempt.

Fix: read from office-hours/SKILL.md (Tier 3, always has the section)
with a fallback that scans for the first top-level skill dir whose
SKILL.md contains the header. Future template moves won't break this
test again.

* feat(browse): domain-skills storage + state machine

New module browse/src/domain-skills.ts implements the per-site notes
the agent writes for itself, persisted as type:"domain" rows alongside
/learn's per-project learnings.

Three scopes layered: per-project default, global by explicit promotion.
Project-active shadows global for the same host.

State machine (T6 — codex outside-voice):
  quarantined --3 uses w/o flag--> active(project) --promote--> global
        ^                                |
        +----- classifier flag during use

- Append-only JSONL with O_APPEND for atomic small writes
- Tolerant parser drops partial trailing line on read
- Tombstone for deletes (compactor cleans up later)
- Version log per (host, scope) enables rollback
- Hostname derived from active tab top-level origin (T3 confused-deputy fix)
- writeSkill rejects classifier_score >= 0.85 with structured error

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(browse): domain-skills storage + state machine

14 tests covering:
- T3 hostname normalization (lowercase, www. strip, port/path/query strip,
  subdomain-exact preserved)
- T4 scope shadowing (per-project active shadows global for same host)
- T5 persistence (version monotonicity, tolerant parser drops partial line)
- T6 state machine (quarantined → active after N=3 uses, classifier-flag
  blocks promotion, save-time score >= 0.85 rejected)
- Rollback by version log (restore prior body, advance version counter)
- Tombstone deletion (read returns null after delete)

All 14 pass in 27ms via bun test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(browse): $B domain-skill subcommands

Wire the domain-skills storage layer into the browse CLI as a META command:

  $B domain-skill save              save body from stdin or --from-file
                                     (host derived from active tab — T3)
  $B domain-skill list              list all skills visible to current project
  $B domain-skill show <host>       print skill body
  $B domain-skill edit <host>       open in $EDITOR
  $B domain-skill promote-to-global <host>  cross-project promotion (T4)
  $B domain-skill rollback <host> [--global]  restore prior version
  $B domain-skill rm <host> [--global]        tombstone

Save path runs L1-L3 content filters from content-security.ts (importable
in compiled binary, unlike L4 ML classifier — see CLAUDE.md). The L4
classifier scan happens in sidebar-agent at prompt-injection load time.

Output is structured (problem + cause + suggested-action) per DX D7.

* feat(browse): $B cdp escape hatch — deny-default allowlist + two-tier mutex

Codex T2: flip CDP posture to deny-default. Allowed methods enumerated in
cdp-allowlist.ts with (scope: tab|browser, output: trusted|untrusted,
justification) per entry.

Initial allowlist (~25 methods) covers:
- Accessibility tree extraction (read-only)
- DOM/CSS inspection (read-only)
- Performance metrics
- Tracing
- Emulation viewport/UA override
- Page screenshot/PDF capture (output is binary, no marker injection vector)
- Network.enable/disable (no bodies/cookies — those are exfil surfaces)
- Runtime.getProperties (NO evaluate/callFunctionOn — those would be RCE)

Page.navigate is INTENTIONALLY NOT allowed; agents use $B goto which
goes through the URL blocklist.

Codex T7: two-tier mutex. tab-scoped methods take per-tab lock; browser-
scoped take global lock that blocks all tab locks. 5s acquire timeout
yields CDPMutexAcquireTimeout (no silent hangs). All lock acquires use
try/finally so errors don't leak the lock.

Path A from spike: uses Playwright's newCDPSession() per page. No second
WebSocket, no need for --remote-debugging-port. CDPSession is cached
per page in a WeakMap and cleared on page close.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(browse): CDP allowlist + two-tier mutex

13 tests:
- Allowlist linter: every entry has 4 required fields, no duplicates,
  justification length > 20 chars
- Deny-list verification: dangerous methods (Runtime.evaluate, Page.navigate,
  Network.getResponseBody, Browser.close, Target.attachToTarget, etc.) are
  NOT allowed (Codex T2 categories 4-7)
- Per-tab mutex serializes ops on same tab
- Per-tab mutex allows parallel ops across different tabs
- Global lock blocks tab locks; tab locks block global lock
- Acquire timeout yields CDPMutexAcquireTimeout (no silent hang)
- Timeout error names the tab id and the timeout budget

Also extends Network.disable justification to satisfy linter.

* feat(browse): telemetry signals + project-slug helper

Lightweight telemetry per DX D9: piggybacks on ~/.gstack/analytics/ pattern.
Hostname + aggregate counters only, no body content. GSTACK_TELEMETRY_OFF=1
silences. Fire-and-forget — never blocks calling path.

Signals fired so far:
- domain_skill_saved {host, scope, state, bytes}
- domain_skill_save_blocked {host, reason}

(domain_skill_fired and cdp_method_* fired in subsequent commits.)

Also extracts project-slug resolution into project-slug.ts so server.ts
and domain-skill-commands.ts share one cached lookup.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(browse): sidebar prompt-context injection + CDP telemetry

server.ts spawnClaude now:
- Imports per-project domain skill matching the active tab's hostname
  via readDomainSkill()
- Wraps the body in UNTRUSTED EXTERNAL CONTENT envelope (so the L4
  classifier in sidebar-agent sees it at load time per Eng D4)
- Appends as <domain-skill source="..." host="..." version="..."> block
- Fires domain_skill_fired telemetry (host, source, version)
- Calls recordSkillUse fire-and-forget so the auto-promote-after-N=3
  state machine advances on each successful prompt injection

System prompt also gets a one-liner introducing $B domain-skill commands
to agents (DX D4 start-of-task discoverability hint).

cdp-bridge.ts fires:
- cdp_method_denied (drives next allow-list growth)
- cdp_method_lock_acquire_ms (P50/P99 quantile observability)
- cdp_method_called (allowed methods)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(browse): telemetry module

3 tests covering:
- logTelemetry writes JSONL with ts injected
- GSTACK_TELEMETRY_OFF=1 silences all events
- logTelemetry never throws on disk failures

Uses GSTACK_HOME env var to redirect writes to a tmp dir; the telemetry
module reads HOME lazily so test mutations take effect.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: domain-skills reference + error lookup table

docs/domain-skills.md mirrors the layered shape of docs/gbrain-sync.md
(DX D8): how agents use it, state machine, storage layout, security model
(L1-L3 + L4 layered defense), error reference table.

* docs(readme): browser-harness-js plug + domain-skills section

New "Domain skills + raw CDP escape hatch" section under "The sprint"
covering both v1.8.0.0 features. Plugs browser-use/browser-harness-js
as the no-rails alternative for users who want raw CDP without gstack's
security stack.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.8.0.0)

Branch-scoped bump on top of merged 1.7.0.0 base. CHANGELOG entry covers
the full v1.8.0.0 scope: $B domain-skill, $B cdp escape hatch, two-tier
mutex, telemetry signals, sidebar prompt-context injection. Includes
Codex outside-voice trail (7 of 20 findings resolved, 12 mooted by T1
scope drop).

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* todos: 7 follow-ups from v1.8.0.0 review trail

P1: Self-authoring $B commands with out-of-process worker isolation
    (Codex T1 deferred from v1.8.0.0 — needs real isolation design)
P2: Migrate /learn to SQLite (Codex T5 long-term primitive fix)
P2: Remove plan-mode handshake from /plan-devex-review (skill bug)
P3: GBrain skillpack publishing for domain-skills
P3: Replay/record demonstrated flows to domain-skills
P3: $B commands review batch-mode UX (alternative to inline approval)
P3: Heuristic command-gap watcher (DX D4 alternative C)

Each entry has the standard What/Why/Pros/Cons/Context/Effort/Priority/
Depends-on shape so anyone picking these up later has full context.

* fix(browse): lazy GSTACK_HOME resolution in domain-skills

Module-level constants (GLOBAL_FILE, derived path) were evaluated at
module-load and cached. When E2E and unit tests run in the same Bun
test pass and set GSTACK_HOME differently, the second test sees the
first test's path. Switch to lazy gstackHome() / globalFile() / projectFile()
helpers so process.env mutations take effect.

Mirrors the pattern already used in telemetry.ts.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(browse): E2E gate-tier tests for domain-skills + CDP

domain-skills-e2e.test.ts (4 tests):
- save derives host from active tab top-level origin (T3)
- save lands quarantined; list surfaces it
- readSkill returns null until 3 uses without flag promote to active (T6)
- save without an active page errors with structured guidance

cdp-e2e.test.ts (8 tests):
- Accessibility.getFullAXTree returns wrapped JSON (allowed, untrusted-output)
- Performance.getMetrics returns plain JSON (allowed, trusted-output)
- Runtime.evaluate DENIED with structured guidance (T2 RCE block)
- Page.navigate DENIED (must use $B goto for blocklist routing)
- Network.getResponseBody DENIED (exfil block)
- malformed JSON params surfaces clear error
- non Domain.method format surfaces clear error
- $B cdp help returns help text

Both files boot a real Chromium via BrowserManager.launch() and exercise
the dispatch handlers end-to-end. Total 12 E2E tests in <2s.

* docs: regenerate SKILL.md files with new $B commands

* test(fixtures): regenerate ship SKILL.md golden baselines for v1.7.0.0

Pre-existing failures inherited from garrytan/gbrain-support: the GBrain
Sync preamble block (added in v1.7.0.0) appears in regenerated SKILL.md
output but the golden baselines in test/fixtures/golden/ were never
updated. Three failures fixed:

  golden-file regression > Claude ship skill matches golden baseline
  golden-file regression > Codex ship skill matches golden baseline
  golden-file regression > Factory ship skill matches golden baseline

Goldens regenerated by copying the current ship/SKILL.md, codex
.agents/skills/gstack-ship/SKILL.md, and .factory/skills/gstack-ship/SKILL.md
files. Diff is the v1.7.0.0 GBrain Sync preamble block + privacy stop-gate
(no behavioral changes — just preamble text).

* fix(brain-sync): bearer-token regex catches values with leading space

Pre-existing bug from v1.7.0.0: the bearer-token-json secret pattern
required values matching [A-Za-z0-9_./+=-]{16,}, which rejected the
"Bearer <token>" form because the literal space after "Bearer" wasn't
in the character class. Real Authorization headers use "Bearer <token>"
syntax, and the test fixture
  '"authorization":"Bearer abcdef1234567890abcdef1234567890"'
sat unscanned despite being a leak-class secret.

One-character fix: add space to the value character class. Test
'gstack-brain-sync secret scan > blocks bearer-json' now passes.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* test(brain-sync): GSTACK_HOME isolation test compares mtime, not content

Pre-existing flaky test: the GSTACK_HOME-overrides-real-config test asserted
the real ~/.gstack/config.yaml does NOT contain "gbrain_sync_mode: full"
after the test. That fails for any user whose real config legitimately has
that key set from prior usage — the test's invariant is "the command did
not modify the real file," not "the real file lacks any specific value."

Switch to mtime + content snapshot: capture both BEFORE running the command,
then verify both are unchanged after. Also add a positive assertion that
the tmpHome config DID get the new key.

* test(skill-validation): exempt deliberate large fixtures from 2MB limit

Pre-existing failure: the "git tracks no files larger than 2MB" test
caught browse/test/fixtures/security-bench-haiku-responses.json (28.8MB
of replay data committed in v1.6.4.0 for security benchmark gate tests).

The test exists to catch accidentally-committed binaries (Mach-O dist
binaries, etc), not to forbid all large files. Add an explicit
LARGE_FIXTURE_EXEMPTIONS allowlist so deliberate replay fixtures pass
the gate while accidental binaries still fail.

* feat(skill-token): mint scoped tokens per skill spawn

Wraps token-registry.createToken/revokeToken with skill-specific
clientId encoding (skill:<name>:<spawn-id>) and read+write defaults.
Skill scripts get a per-spawn capability token bound to browser-driving
commands; the daemon root token never leaves the harness.

* feat(browse-client): SDK for browser-skill scripts

Thin wrapper over POST /command with bearer auth. Resolves daemon
port + token from GSTACK_PORT + GSTACK_SKILL_TOKEN env vars first
(set by $B skill run when spawning), falls back to .gstack/browse.json
for standalone debug runs.

Convenience methods cover the read+write surface skills typically need:
goto, click, fill, text, html, snapshot, links, forms, accessibility,
attrs, media, data, scroll, press, type, select, wait, hover, screenshot.
Low-level command(cmd, args) escape hatch for anything else.

This is the canonical SDK source. Each browser-skill ships a sibling
copy at <skill>/_lib/browse-client.ts so each skill is fully portable
and version-pinned.

* feat(browser-skills): 3-tier storage helpers

listBrowserSkills() walks project > global > bundled (first-wins),
parses SKILL.md frontmatter, no INDEX.json. readBrowserSkill() does
the same for a single name. tombstoneBrowserSkill() moves a skill
into .tombstones/<name>-<ts>/ for recoverability.

Frontmatter parser handles the subset browser-skills need: scalars
(host, description, trusted, version, source), string lists
(triggers), and arg-mapping lists ([{name, description}, ...]).
Quoted values handle colons; trusted defaults to false.

Bundled tier path is auto-detected from the binary install location;
project tier comes from git rev-parse; global is ~/.gstack/. All tier
paths are overridable for hermetic tests.

* feat(browser-skills): \$B skill list/show/run/test/rm subcommands

handleSkillCommand dispatches to per-subcommand handlers; spawnSkill is
the load-bearing function that:

  1. Mints a per-spawn scoped token (read+write only) bound to the
     skill name + spawn-id.
  2. Builds the spawn env:
     - trusted: passes process.env minus GSTACK_TOKEN (defense in depth).
     - untrusted: minimal allowlist (LANG, LC_ALL, TERM, TZ) + locked
       PATH; explicitly drops anything matching TOKEN/KEY/SECRET/etc.
       Also drops AWS_/AZURE_/GCP_/GOOGLE_APPLICATION_/ANTHROPIC_/OPENAI_/
       GITHUB_/GH_/SSH_/GPG_/NPM_TOKEN/PYPI_ patterns.
   3. Always injects GSTACK_PORT + GSTACK_SKILL_TOKEN last (cannot be
     overridden by parent env).
  4. Spawns bun run script.ts -- <args> with cwd=skillDir, captures
     stdout (1MB cap), stderr, and timeout-kills past the deadline.
  5. Revokes the token in finally{}, always.

list output prints the resolved tier inline so "why did it run that
one?" never becomes a debugging mystery (Codex finding #4 mitigation).

server.ts threads the listen port to meta-commands via MetaCommandOpts.daemonPort.

* feat(browser-skills): bundled hackernews-frontpage reference skill

Smallest interesting browser-skill: scrapes HN front page, returns
30 stories as JSON. No auth, stable HTML, fully fixture-tested.

Files:
  SKILL.md                          frontmatter + prose
  script.ts                         exports parseStoriesFromHtml(html)
                                    main: goto + html + parse + JSON.stringify
  _lib/browse-client.ts             vendored copy of the SDK
  fixtures/hn-2026-04-26.html       captured front page (5 stories)
  script.test.ts                    13 assertions against the fixture

The parser is a pure function over HTML so script.test.ts runs
without a daemon (just imports parseStoriesFromHtml and asserts).

This exercises every Phase 1 component end-to-end:
  - browse-client SDK (script imports browse from ./_lib/)
  - 3-tier lookup (hackernews-frontpage lives in the bundled tier)
  - scoped tokens (read+write is enough for goto + html)
  - spawn lifecycle (\$B skill run hackernews-frontpage)
  - file-fixture testing (\$B skill test hackernews-frontpage)

* test(skill-validation): cover bundled browser-skills

Adds 7 assertions per bundled skill at <root>/browser-skills/<name>/:
  - SKILL.md exists
  - frontmatter parses with required fields (name/host/triggers/args)
  - script.ts exists
  - _lib/browse-client.ts exists and matches the canonical SDK byte-for-byte
  - script.test.ts exists
  - script.ts imports browse from ./_lib/browse-client

The byte-identical SDK check enforces the version-pinning contract:
when the canonical SDK at browse/src/browse-client.ts changes, every
bundled skill's _lib/ copy must be re-synced or this test fails.

* docs(designs): add BROWSER_SKILLS_V1 design doc

Captures the 13 locked decisions, two-axis trust model (daemon-side
scoped tokens + process-side env access), 3-tier lookup, file
layout, and full responses to all 8 Codex outside-voice findings.
Includes Phase 2-4 sketches for future branches.

* docs(todos): replace self-authoring-\$B P1 with browser-skills phases

Phase 1 of the browser-skills design shipped on this branch (sidesteps
the in-daemon isolation problem the original P1 was blocked on). The
new entries enumerate the work that remains:

  P1: Phase 2 (/scrape + /automate skill templates)
  P2: Phase 3 (resolver injection at session start)
  P2: Phase 4 (eval infra + fixture staleness + OS sandbox)

Cross-references docs/designs/BROWSER_SKILLS_V1.md for the full
architecture and the 8 Codex review findings + responses.

* release: v1.9.0.0 — browser-skills runtime

VERSION 1.8.0.0 → 1.9.0.0. CHANGELOG entry leads with what humans
can do today (hand-write deterministic browser scripts, run them in
200ms via \$B skill run). Notes explicitly that agent authoring
lands in next release; no fabricated perf numbers.

* test(browser-skills-e2e): exercise dispatch with bundled hackernews-frontpage

Covers the full \$B skill list/show/test pipeline against the real
bundled reference skill (defaultTierPaths picks up <repo>/browser-skills/).
Verifies frontmatter shape, the three-tier walk surfaces the bundled
entry, and \$B skill test successfully runs the bundled script.test.ts
in a child bun process.

\$B skill run end-to-end against the live network is intentionally NOT
covered here (would be flaky against news.ycombinator.com); the spawn
lifecycle is exercised in browser-skill-commands.test.ts using inline
synthetic skills.

* release: bump v1.9.0.0 → v1.13.0.0

Main shipped through v1.11.1.0 while this branch was in flight; v1.12.x
is presumed claimed by another in-flight branch. Use v1.13.0.0 as the
next available slot.

Updated VERSION, package.json, and the CHANGELOG header. Entry body
unchanged.

* feat(browse-skills): atomic write helper for /skillify (D3)

stageSkill writes a candidate skill into ~/.gstack/.tmp/skillify-<spawnId>/
with restrictive perms. commitSkill does an atomic fs.renameSync into the
final tier path with realpath/lstat discipline (refuses symlinked staging
dirs, refuses to clobber existing skills). discardStaged is the cleanup
path for test failures and approval rejections, idempotent and bounded
to the per-spawn wrapper. validateSkillName enforces lowercase/digits/
dashes only, no path-escape characters.

Implements the D3 contract from the v1.19.0.0 plan review: never a
half-written skill on disk. Test fail or approval reject = rm -rf the
temp dir, no tombstone for never-approved skills.

Closes Codex finding #5 (atomic skill packaging) for Phase 2a.

34 unit assertions covering: stage validation, file-path escape rejection,
permission check, atomic rename, clobber refusal, symlink refusal, project
tier unresolved, idempotent discard, end-to-end happy + simulated test
failure + approval reject paths.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.7 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* feat(scrape): /scrape <intent> skill template

One entry point for pulling page data. Three paths under the hood:

1. Match — agent reads $B skill list, semantically matches the user's
   intent against each skill's triggers + description + host. Confident
   match = $B skill run <name> in ~200ms.
2. Prototype — no match, drive the page with $B goto/text/html/links etc.
   Return JSON, append a one-line "say /skillify" nudge.
3. Mutating refusal — verbs like submit/click/fill route to /automate
   (Phase 2b P0); /scrape is read-only by contract.

Match decision lives in the agent, not the daemon. No new code in
browse/src/, no expanded daemon command surface, no new prompt-injection
blast radius.

* feat(skillify): /skillify codifies last /scrape into permanent skill

The productivity multiplier. /scrape discovers the flow; /skillify writes
it as deterministic Playwright-via-browse-client code so the next /scrape
on the same intent runs in ~200ms.

11-step flow with three locked contracts from the v1.19.0.0 plan review:

D1 — Provenance guard. Walk back ≤10 agent turns for a clearly-bounded
/scrape result. Refuse with one specific message if cold. No silent
synthesis from chat fragments.

D2 — Synthesis input slice. Extract ONLY the final-attempt $B calls that
produced the JSON the user accepted, plus the user's intent string. Drop
failed selectors, drop unrelated chat, drop earlier-session content.
Closes Codex finding #6 by picking option (b) from the design doc:
re-prompt from agent's own context, not a structured recorder.

D3 — Atomic write. Stage to ~/.gstack/.tmp/skillify-<spawnId>/, run
$B skill test against the temp dir, only rename into the final tier path
on test pass + user approval. Test fail or approval reject = rm -rf the
temp dir entirely.

Default tier: global (~/.gstack/browser-skills/<name>/). --project flag
overrides to per-project. Generated test must include at least one ★★
assertion (parsed JSON has expected shape + non-empty key fields), not a
smoke ★ assertion.

Bun runtime distribution (Codex finding #7) carries over to Phase 4.
Documented in the skill's Limits section.

* test(browser-skills): gate-tier E2E for /scrape + /skillify (D4)

Five scenarios cover the productivity loop and the contracts locked
during the v1.19.0.0 plan review:

  scrape-match-path           — intent matching bundled hackernews-frontpage
                                routes via $B skill run, no prototype phase
  scrape-prototype-path       — no matching skill, drives $B against a local
                                file:// fixture, returns JSON, suggests
                                /skillify
  skillify-happy-path         — /scrape then /skillify; skill written to
                                ~/.gstack/browser-skills/<name>/ with the
                                full file tree; SKILL.md prose body must
                                not contain conversation fragments (D2)
  skillify-provenance-refusal — cold /skillify with no prior /scrape refuses
                                with the D1 message; nothing on disk (D1)
  skillify-approval-reject    — /scrape then /skillify but reject in the
                                approval gate; temp dir is removed, nothing
                                at the final tier path (D3)

All five gate-tier (~$0.50-$1.50 each, ~$5 total per CI run). Set EVALS=1
to enable. Uses local file:// fixtures so prototype + skillify scenarios
run deterministically without network.

Touchfiles registers all 5 entries with proper deps on scrape/**,
skillify/**, browse/src/browser-skill-write.ts, and the Phase 1 runtime
modules. The match-path test depends on the bundled hackernews-frontpage
skill so its touchfile includes browser-skills/hackernews-frontpage/**.

* docs(browser-skills): TODOS Phase 2a + design doc D1-D4 decisions

TODOS.md:
- Narrows existing P1 (was "/scrape and /automate") to "/scrape and
  /skillify" — the /scrape + /skillify wedge ships in this branch.
  Codex finding #6 (synthesis) removed from Cons (resolved by D2);
  finding #7 (Bun runtime) stays as the open carry-over.
- Adds new ## P0 above PACING_UPDATES_V0 for the /automate follow-up.
  Same skillify pattern as /scrape, different trust profile (per-step
  confirmation gate when running non-codified). Reuses /skillify and
  the D3 helper as-is. Effort M.

BROWSER_SKILLS_V1.md:
- Phase table re-organized into 1, 2a, 2b, 3, 4. Phase 1 + Phase 2a
  consolidate into v1.19.0.0 ship (the v1.16.0.0 branch-internal
  bump never landed on main).
- New "Phase 2a" sub-section captures the four decisions locked
  during /plan-eng-review:
    D1 — provenance guard (≤10 turn walk-back, refuse if cold)
    D2 — synthesis input slice (final-attempt $B calls only,
         closes Codex finding #6)
    D3 — atomic write discipline (temp-dir-then-rename via new
         browse/src/browser-skill-write.ts helper)
    D4 — full test scope (5 gate E2E + 1 unit + smoke)
- New "Phase 2b" sketch for /automate: same skillify machinery,
  per-mutating-step confirmation gate, deferred to next branch.

* release: v1.16.0.0 -> v1.19.0.0 — browser-skills Phase 1 + 2a

Consolidates the v1.16.0.0 branch-internal bump (Phase 1 runtime, never
landed on main) with Phase 2a (/scrape + /skillify + atomic-write helper)
into one v1.19.0.0 ship per CLAUDE.md "Never orphan branch-internal
versions" rule.

Headline: Browser-skills land end-to-end. /scrape <intent> first call
drives the page; second call runs the codified script in 200ms.

The unified CHANGELOG entry covers:
- Phase 1 runtime: $B skill list/show/run/test/rm, scoped tokens,
  3-tier storage, bundled hackernews-frontpage reference.
- Phase 2a: /scrape + /skillify gstack skills, browser-skill-write.ts
  atomic helper, 5 gate-tier E2E + 34 unit assertions.

Numbers table updated: 5 new modules (+browser-skill-write), 2 new
gstack skills, 6 of 8 Codex outside-voice findings resolved (synthesis
#6 closed by D2; Bun runtime #7 + OS sandbox #1 stay deferred to Phase 4).

/automate (Phase 2b) is split out as P0 in TODOS for the next branch.

* fix(commands): tighten descriptions for LLM-judge baseline pinning

The skill-llm-eval test "baseline score pinning" failed CI on three
retry attempts: judge gave command_reference.actionability=3, baseline
demands ≥4. Judge cited 8 specific gaps in COMMAND_DESCRIPTIONS.

This commit closes 7 of 8 by tightening the descriptions:

- press: documents that key names are case-sensitive Playwright keys,
  shows modifier syntax (Shift+Enter, Control+A), links the full key
  list. Removes the "is this case-sensitive?" guesswork.
- is: documents that <sel> accepts either a CSS selector OR an @ref
  token from a prior snapshot, and that property values are case-
  sensitive.
- scroll: documents that there is no --by/--to amount option, points
  at `js window.scrollTo(0, N)` for pixel-precise scrolling.
- js / eval: clarifies that both run in the same JS sandbox, the
  difference is just inline expr (js) vs file (eval).
- storage: clarifies sessionStorage is read-only via this command,
  points at `js sessionStorage.setItem(...)` for the write path.
- chain: walks through how to invoke (pipe a JSON array of arrays to
  $B chain), confirms it stops at the first error.
- cdp: explains how to discover allowed methods (read cdp-allowlist.ts)
  + shows a concrete example invocation.
- domain-skill: explains that the "classifier flag" is set automatically
  by the L4 prompt-injection scan (agents do not set it manually);
  enumerates the full lifecycle verbs.

The 8th gap (storage set syntax conflict) is also resolved as part of
the storage rewrite.

Two pipe-character bugs caught by the existing
`no command description contains pipe character` guard at
`test/gen-skill-docs.test.ts:595`: the chain example originally used
`echo '[...]' | $B chain` (literal pipe) and the cdp description used
`tab|browser` / `trusted|untrusted` (also literal pipes). Both rewritten
to keep markdown table cells intact.

Verification: 696/0 pass on skill-validation + gen-skill-docs after
regen across all hosts. The CI llm-judge eval will re-run against the
new SKILL.md and should hit actionability ≥4 reliably.

* docs(browser): rewrite BROWSER.md as complete reference

Full rewrite covering the gstack browser surface as of v1.19.0.0. Up from
488 to 1,299 lines, 26 top-level sections.

Adds previously-undocumented subsystems:

- The productivity loop: /scrape + /skillify with D1 (provenance guard),
  D2 (final-attempt-only synthesis), D3 (atomic-write discipline) contracts.
- Browser-skills runtime: anatomy, three-tier storage, scoped tokens, trust
  model (capability + env axes), sibling SDK distribution, atomic-write
  helper, bundled hackernews-frontpage reference.
- Domain-skills: per-site agent notes with quarantined → active → global
  state machine and the L4-classifier auto-promotion gate.
- Pair-agent: dual-listener architecture, 26-command tunnel allowlist,
  canDispatchOverTunnel pure gate, three token types (root, setup key,
  scoped), denial log path + salt model.
- Security stack L1-L6: layer table, thresholds (BLOCK/WARN/LOG_ONLY/
  SOLO_CONTENT_BLOCK), ensemble rule, classifier model paths, env knobs.
- Side Panel deep dive: Terminal pane (Claude PTY) as the primary surface
  with Activity/Refs/Inspector as debug overlays, WS auth via
  Sec-WebSocket-Protocol, gstackInjectToTerminal cross-pane plumbing.
- CDP escape hatch: $B cdp deny-default allowlist, $B inspect CSS inspector,
  $B ux-audit page structure extraction.
- Meta commands previously undocumented: tabs/frames/state/watch/inbox/
  tab-each, with usage and storage paths.
- Authentication: three token types with lifetimes, SSE session cookie,
  PTY session cookie, token registry behavior.
- Full source map: 30+ file inventory of browse/src/ vs the old 11-file
  list.

Preserves from before: architecture diagram, daemon lifecycle, snapshot
ref staleness, screenshot modes, goto file:// vs load-html semantics,
batch endpoint, JS await wrapping, env vars, performance numbers vs MCP,
Playwright acknowledgments, dev guide.

Cross-links to ARCHITECTURE.md, CLAUDE.md, docs/REMOTE_BROWSER_ACCESS.md,
docs/designs/BROWSER_SKILLS_V1.md, scrape/SKILL.md, skillify/SKILL.md,
TODOS.md so anyone landing on BROWSER.md can navigate to the load-bearing
companion docs.

* fix(server): tab-ownership gate keys on tabPolicy, not isWrite

Browser-skill spawns hit `403: Tab not owned by your agent` on every
first run because the gate at server.ts:639 fired for any non-root
write, regardless of the token's tabPolicy. The bundled
hackernews-frontpage reference skill failed identically. Every
/skillify-generated skill failed identically. The user's natural
tabs have no claimed owner — by design — so any skill driving
them via `goto` (a write) was 403'd.

The intent in skill-token.ts:79 was always correct: `tabPolicy: 'shared'`
with the comment "skill scripts may switch tabs as needed." The
enforcement just ignored it.

Two surgical changes:

browser-manager.ts:checkTabAccess — gate now keys on options.ownOnly
only. Shared-policy tokens (skill spawns, default scoped clients) get
permissive access — root-equivalent for the tab gate. Own-only tokens
(pair-agent over the ngrok tunnel) still require ownership for every
read and write. isWrite stays in the signature for callers that want
to log or branch elsewhere; it no longer gates the decision.

server.ts:639 — gate predicate narrowed from
  (WRITE_COMMANDS.has(command) || tokenInfo.tabPolicy === 'own-only')
to just
  tokenInfo.tabPolicy === 'own-only'
The 'newtab' exemption stays. Shared tokens skip the gate entirely;
own-only tokens still hit it. Comment block above the gate updated to
document the new predicate intent.

Pair-agent isolation is intact. Tunnel tokens still default to
tabPolicy: 'own-only', still must `newtab` first to get a tab they
can drive, still can't dispatch any of the 23 commands outside the
tunnel allowlist.

The capability gate (scope checks) and rate limits already constrain
what local scoped clients can do; tab ownership was never a security
boundary for them — only for pair-agent. This release makes the
enforcement match the original design intent.

* test(server): lock the shared-vs-own-only tab gate contract

The pre-fix tests at tab-isolation.test.ts:43,57 encoded the broken
behavior as the contract — they specifically asserted "scoped agent
cannot write to unowned tab," which was the exact failure mode that
broke browser-skills. They passed because they tested the wrong
invariant.

This commit replaces those tests with explicit shared-vs-own-only
coverage that documents what each policy actually means:

- Shared scoped agents (skill spawns, default scoped clients) can
  read AND write any tab — unowned, their own, or another agent's.
  The capability is gated by scope checks + rate limits, not by tab
  ownership.
- Own-only scoped agents (pair-agent over tunnel) cannot read OR
  write any tab they don't own. Pre-fix this case was conflated with
  shared writes; now it's explicit.

9 unit assertions on checkTabAccess, up from 6. Each test names
the policy axis it's covering so a future refactor can't quietly
flip the contract.

Adds source-shape regression test 10a in server-auth.test.ts:
"tab gate predicate is own-only-scoped, not write-scoped." The
gate's `if (...)` line MUST contain `tabPolicy === 'own-only'` and
MUST NOT contain `WRITE_COMMANDS.has(command) ||`. If a future
refactor re-introduces the write-scoped gate, this fails immediately
in free-tier `bun test`.

Updates the marker for the existing newtab-excluded test to match
the new comment block ("Tab ownership check (own-only tokens /
pair-agent isolation)").

* release: v1.19.0.0 -> v1.20.0.0 — fix tab-ownership footgun

Patch release on top of v1.19.0.0. The shipping headline of v1.19.0.0
(/scrape + /skillify productivity loop) was broken on first run in any
session where the daemon already had a tab. Bundled
hackernews-frontpage failed identically. Every /skillify-generated
skill failed identically.

The fix narrows the tab-ownership gate from "any non-root write" to
"tabPolicy === 'own-only' only." Pair-agent isolation (the v1.6.0.0
threat model) is intact; local skill spawns get their original
behavior back.

VERSION: 1.19.0.0 -> 1.20.0.0
package.json version: synced.

CHANGELOG entry leads with the user-visible impact: the productivity
loop works again, no half-second-stalls of confused 403s. Includes
before/after metrics on the bundled reference skill and the broken-
contract pre-fix tests that hid the regression.

* docs(claude): sharpen CHANGELOG rule — diff between main and ship

Codifies what was already implicit in the existing "Never orphan
branch-internal versions" + "Only document what shipped between main
and this change" sections, but with sharper language and concrete
NEVER examples.

The rule: a CHANGELOG entry is the diff between main and the shipping
branch — what users get when they upgrade. NOT how the branch got
there. Branch-internal version bumps, mid-branch bug fixes, plan
review outcomes, and patch narratives all belong in PR descriptions
and commit messages, not in CHANGELOG.

Adds explicit examples of phrasing to NEVER use:
  - "v1.X had a bug that v1.Y fixes" (mentions a branch-internal version)
  - "The shipping headline of v1.X was broken because..." (apologizes
    for never-released state)
  - "Pre-fix tests encoded the broken behavior" (contributor's victory
    lap, not user benefit)
  - "Two surgical edits, both in the dispatch path" (micro-narrative
    of the patch)

The constructive replacement: describe the released system as a
property, not as a fix. "Browser-skills run end-to-end with the
expected tab-access semantics." If a property is worth calling out,
document it in the trust-model section, not as a "we fixed X" callout.

Pairs with feedback_no_shame_changelog and
feedback_changelog_harden_against_critics memories — entries should
read as a flex even to a hostile screenshotter, never admit prior
breakage.

* docs(changelog): consolidate v1.20.0.0 as the diff vs main

Rewrites the v1.20.0.0 entry to describe what users get when they
upgrade from main (v1.17.0.0) to this release: browser-skills
end-to-end. Drops all branch-internal narrative — Phase 1 / Phase 2a
labels, the v1.8.0.0 P1 history paragraph, the test-counts-by-phase
split, and the patch micro-narrative for the tab-policy semantics.

The previously-separate v1.19.0.0 entry (a branch-internal version
that never landed on main) collapses into v1.20.0.0 per the
"Never orphan branch-internal versions" rule.

Tab-access policies are now documented as a property of the trust
model: `'shared'` (skill spawns) is permissive, `'own-only'`
(pair-agent over the tunnel) is strict. No "fix" framing, no
mention of an intermediate state where it was broken.

Adds the BROWSER.md rewrite and the new tab-isolation +
server-auth source-shape regression tests to the itemized changes.

The reverse-chronological order remains: v1.20.0.0 → v1.17.0.0 →
v1.16.0.0 → v1.15.0.0 → ... Gaps (v1.18, v1.19) are fine — those
were branch-internal version numbers that never landed.
