The parent-process watchdog in server.ts polls the spawning CLI's PID every 15s and self-terminates if it is gone. The connect command in cli.ts exits with process.exit(0) immediately after launching the server, so the watchdog would reliably kill the headed browser within ~15s. This contradicted the idle timer's own design: server.ts:745 explicitly skips headed mode because "the user is looking at the browser. Never auto-die." The watchdog had no such exemption. Two-layer fix: 1. CLI layer: connect handler always sets BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0 (was only pass-through for pair-agent subprocesses). The user owns the headed browser lifecycle; cleanup happens via browser disconnect event or $B disconnect. 2. CLI layer: startServer() honors caller's BROWSE_PARENT_PID=0 in the headless spawn path too. Lets CI, non-interactive shells, and Claude Code Bash calls opt into persistent servers across short-lived CLI invocations. 3. Server layer: defense-in-depth. Watchdog now also skips when BROWSE_HEADED=1, so even if a future launcher forgets PID=0, headed browsers won't die. Adds log lines when the watchdog is disabled so lifecycle debugging is easier. Four community contributors diagnosed variants of this bug independently. Thanks for the clear analyses and reproductions.
