New browse/src/cdp-inspector.ts with full CDP inspection engine:
- inspectElement() via CSS.getMatchedStylesForNode + DOM.getBoxModel
- modifyStyle() via CSS.setStyleTexts with headless page.evaluate fallback
- Persistent CDP session lifecycle (create, reuse, detach on nav, re-create)
- Specificity sorting, overridden property detection, UA rule filtering
- Modification history with undo support
- formatInspectorResult() for CLI output

Subject: [PATCH 02/28] feat: browse server inspector endpoints +
 inspect/style/cleanup/prettyscreenshot CLI

Server endpoints: POST /inspector/pick, GET /inspector, POST /inspector/apply,
POST /inspector/reset, GET /inspector/history, GET /inspector/events (SSE).
CLI commands: inspect (CDP cascade), style (live CSS mod), cleanup (page clutter
removal), prettyscreenshot (clean screenshot pipeline).

  basic mode fallback (getComputedStyle + CSSOM), page alteration handlers
- inspector.css: picker overlay styles (blue highlight + tooltip)
- background.js: inspector message routing (picker <-> server <-> sidepanel)
- sidepanel: Inspector tab with box model viz (gstack palette), matched rules
  with specificity badges, computed styles, click-to-edit quick edit,
  Send to Agent/Code button, empty/loading/error states

Subject: [PATCH 05/28] feat: auto-track user-created tabs and handle tab close

browser-manager.ts changes:
- context.on('page') listener: automatically tracks tabs opened by the user
  (Cmd+T, right-click open in new tab, window.open). Previously only
  programmatic newTab() was tracked, so user tabs were invisible.
- page.on('close') handler in wirePageEvents: removes closed tabs from the
  pages map and switches activeTabId to the last remaining tab.
- syncActiveTabByUrl: match Chrome extension's active tab URL to the correct
  Playwright page for accurate tab identity.

Subject: [PATCH 06/28] feat: per-tab agent isolation via BROWSE_TAB
 environment variable

Prevents parallel sidebar agents from interfering with each other's tab context.

Three-layer fix:
- sidebar-agent.ts: passes BROWSE_TAB=<tabId> env var to each claude process,
  per-tab processing set allows concurrent agents across tabs
- cli.ts: reads process.env.BROWSE_TAB and includes tabId in command request body
- server.ts: handleCommand() temporarily switches activeTabId when tabId is present,
  restores after command completes (safe: Bun event loop is single-threaded)

Also: per-tab agent state (TabAgentState map), per-tab message queuing,
per-tab chat buffers, verbose streaming narration, stop button endpoint.

Subject: [PATCH 07/28] feat: sidebar per-tab chat context, tab bar sync, stop
 button, UX polish

Extension changes:
- sidepanel.js: per-tab chat history (tabChatHistories map), switchChatTab()
  swaps entire chat view, browserTabActivated handler for instant tab sync,
  stop button wired to /sidebar-agent/stop, pollTabs renders tab bar
- sidepanel.html: updated banner text ("Browser co-pilot"), stop button markup,
  input placeholder "Ask about this page..."
- sidepanel.css: tab bar styles, stop button styles, loading state fixes
- background.js: chrome.tabs.onActivated sends browserTabActivated to sidepanel
  with tab URL for instant tab switch detection

Subject: [PATCH 08/28] test: per-tab isolation, BROWSE_TAB pinning, tab
 tracking, sidebar UX

sidebar-agent.test.ts (new tests):
- BROWSE_TAB env var passed to claude process
- CLI reads BROWSE_TAB and sends tabId in body
- handleCommand accepts tabId, saves/restores activeTabId
- Tab pinning only activates when tabId provided
- Per-tab agent state, queue, concurrency
- processingTabs set for parallel agents

sidebar-ux.test.ts (new tests):
- context.on('page') tracks user-created tabs
- page.on('close') removes tabs from pages map
- Tab isolation uses BROWSE_TAB not system prompt hack
- Per-tab chat context in sidepanel
- Tab bar rendering, stop button, banner text

Merged main's security improvements (XML escaping, prompt injection defense,
allowed commands whitelist, --model opus, Write tool, stderr capture) with
our branch's per-tab isolation (BROWSE_TAB env var, processingTabs set,
no --resume). Updated test expectations for expanded system prompt.

 # Changelog
 
+## [0.13.9.0] - 2026-03-29 — Sidebar CSS Inspector + Per-Tab Agents
+
+The sidebar is now a visual design tool. Pick any element on the page and see the full CSS rule cascade, box model, and computed styles right in the Side Panel. Edit styles live and see changes instantly. Each browser tab gets its own independent agent, so you can work on multiple pages simultaneously without cross-talk.
+
+### Added
+
+- **CSS Inspector in the sidebar.** Click "Pick Element", hover over anything, click it, and the sidebar shows the full CSS rule cascade with specificity badges, source file:line, box model visualization (gstack palette colors), and computed styles. Like Chrome DevTools, but inside the sidebar.
+- **Live style editing.** `$B style .selector property value` modifies CSS rules in real time via CDP. Changes show instantly on the page. Undo with `$B style --undo`.
+- **Per-tab agents.** Each browser tab gets its own Claude agent process. Switch tabs in the browser and the sidebar swaps to that tab's chat history. Ask questions about different pages in parallel without agents fighting over which tab is active.
+- **Tab tracking.** User-created tabs (Cmd+T, right-click "Open in new tab") are automatically tracked. The sidebar tab bar updates in real time. Click a tab in the sidebar to switch the browser. Close a tab and it disappears from the bar.
+- **Page cleanup.** `$B cleanup --all` removes ads, cookie banners, sticky headers, and social widgets for clean screenshots.
+- **Pretty screenshots.** `$B prettyscreenshot --cleanup --scroll-to ".pricing" ~/Desktop/hero.png` combines cleanup, scroll positioning, and screenshot in one command.
+- **Stop button.** A red stop button appears in the sidebar when an agent is working. Click it to cancel the current task.
+
+### Changed
+
+- **Sidebar banner** now says "Browser co-pilot" instead of the old mode-specific text.
+- **Input placeholder** is "Ask about this page..." (more inviting than the old placeholder).
+- **System prompt** includes prompt injection defense and allowed-commands whitelist from the security audit.
+
 ## [0.13.8.0] - 2026-03-29 — Security Audit Round 2
 
 Browse output is now wrapped in trust boundary markers so agents can tell page content from tool output. Markers are escape-proof. The Chrome extension validates message senders. CDP binds to localhost only. Bun installs use checksum verification.

Subject: [PATCH 11/28] fix: add inspector message types to background.js
 allowlist

Pre-existing bug found by Codex: ALLOWED_TYPES in background.js was missing
all inspector message types (startInspector, stopInspector, elementPicked,
pickerCancelled, applyStyle, toggleClass, injectCSS, resetAll, inspectResult).
Messages were silently rejected, making the inspector broken on ALL pages.

Also: separate executeScript and insertCSS into individual try blocks in
injectInspector(), store inspectorMode for routing, and add content.js
fallback when script injection fails (CSP, chrome:// pages).

Subject: [PATCH 12/28] feat: basic element picker in content.js for
 CSP-restricted pages

When inspector.js can't be injected (CSP, chrome:// pages), content.js
provides a basic picker using getComputedStyle + CSSOM:
- startBasicPicker/stopBasicPicker message handlers
- captureBasicData() with ~30 key CSS properties, box model, matched rules
- Hover highlight with outline save/restore (never leaves artifacts)
- Click uses e.target directly (no re-querying by selector)
- Sends inspectResult with mode:'basic' for sidebar rendering
- Escape key cancels picker and restores outlines

Subject: [PATCH 13/28] feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in sidebar inspector
 toolbar
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Two action buttons in the inspector toolbar:
- Cleanup (🧹): POSTs cleanup --all to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification on success, resets inspector state (element may be removed)
- Screenshot (📸): POSTs screenshot to server, shows spinner, chat
  notification with saved file path

Shared infrastructure:
- .inspector-action-btn CSS with loading spinner via ::after pseudo-element
- chat-notification type in addChatEntry() for system messages
- package.json version bump to 0.13.9.0

Subject: [PATCH 16/28] feat: cleanup + screenshot buttons in chat toolbar (not
 just inspector)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Quick actions toolbar (🧹 Cleanup, 📸 Screenshot) now appears above the chat
input, always visible. Both inspector and chat buttons share runCleanup() and
runScreenshot() helper functions. Clicking either set shows loading state on
both simultaneously.

Subject: [PATCH 17/28] test: chat toolbar buttons, shared helpers,
 quick-action-btn styles

Tests that chat toolbar exists (chat-cleanup-btn, chat-screenshot-btn,
quick-actions container), CSS styles (.quick-action-btn, .quick-action-btn.loading),
shared runCleanup/runScreenshot helper functions, and cleanup inspector reset.

Massively expanded CLEANUP_SELECTORS with patterns from uBlock Origin and
Readability.js research:
- ads: 30+ selectors (Google, Amazon, Outbrain, Taboola, Criteo, etc.)
- cookies: OneTrust, Cookiebot, TrustArc, Quantcast + generic patterns
- overlays (NEW): paywalls, newsletter popups, interstitials, push prompts,
  app download banners, survey modals
- social: follow prompts, share tools
- Cleanup now defaults to --all when no args (sidebar button fix)
- Uses !important on all display:none (overrides inline styles)
- Unlocks body/html scroll (overflow:hidden from modal lockout)
- Removes blur/filter effects (paywall content blur)
- Removes max-height truncation (article teaser truncation)
- Collapses empty ad placeholder whitespace (empty divs after ad removal)
- Skips gstack-ctrl indicator in sticky removal

Subject: [PATCH 19/28] fix: disable action buttons when disconnected, no error
 spam

- setActionButtonsEnabled() toggles .disabled class on all cleanup/screenshot
  buttons (both chat toolbar and inspector toolbar)
- Called with false in updateConnection when server URL is null
- Called with true when connection established
- runCleanup/runScreenshot silently return when disconnected instead of
  showing 'Not connected' error notifications
- CSS .disabled style: pointer-events:none, opacity:0.3, cursor:not-allowed

Subject: [PATCH 21/28] =?UTF-8?q?feat:=20LLM-based=20page=20cleanup=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20agent=20analyzes=20page=20semantically?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Instead of brittle CSS selectors, the cleanup button now sends a prompt to
the sidebar agent (which IS an LLM). The agent:
1. Runs deterministic $B cleanup --all as a quick first pass
2. Takes a snapshot to see what's left
3. Analyzes the page semantically to identify remaining clutter
4. Removes elements intelligently, preserving site branding

This means cleanup works correctly on any site without site-specific selectors.
The LLM understands that "Your Daily Puzzles" is clutter, "ADVERTISEMENT" is
junk, but the SF Chronicle masthead should stay.

Subject: [PATCH 22/28] feat: aggressive cleanup heuristics + preserve top nav
 bar

Deterministic cleanup improvements (used as first pass before LLM analysis):
- New 'clutter' category: audio players, podcast widgets, sidebar puzzles/games,
  recirculation widgets (taboola, outbrain, nativo), cross-promotion banners
- Text-content detection: removes "ADVERTISEMENT", "Article continues below",
  "Sponsored", "Paid content" labels and their parent wrappers
- Sticky fix: preserves the topmost full-width element near viewport top (site
  nav bar) instead of hiding all sticky/fixed elements. Sorts by vertical
  position, preserves the first one that spans >80% viewport width.

Tests: clutter category, ad label removal, nav bar preservation logic.

Subject: [PATCH 23/28] test: LLM-based cleanup architecture, deterministic
 heuristics, sticky nav

22 new tests covering:
- Cleanup button uses /sidebar-command (agent) not /command (deterministic)
- Cleanup prompt includes deterministic first pass + agent snapshot analysis
- Cleanup prompt lists specific clutter categories for agent guidance
- Cleanup prompt preserves site identity (masthead, headline, body, byline)
- Cleanup prompt instructs scroll unlock and $B eval removal
- Loading state management (async agent, setTimeout)
- Deterministic clutter: audio/podcast, games/puzzles, recirculation
- Ad label text patterns (ADVERTISEMENT, Sponsored, Article continues)
- Ad label parent wrapper hiding for small containers
- Sticky nav preservation (sort by position, first full-width near top)

Subject: [PATCH 24/28] fix: prevent repeat chat message rendering on
 reconnect/replay

Root cause: server persists chat to disk (chat.jsonl) and replays on restart.
Client had no dedup, so every reconnect re-rendered the entire history.
Messages from an old HN session would repeat endlessly on the SF Chronicle tab.

Fix: renderedEntryIds Set tracks which entry IDs have been rendered. addChatEntry
skips entries already in the set. Entries without an id (local notifications)
bypass the check. Clear chat resets the set.

Subject: [PATCH 25/28] fix: agent stops when done, no focus stealing, opus for
 prompt injection safety

Three fixes for sidebar agent UX:
- System prompt: "Be CONCISE. STOP as soon as the task is done. Do NOT keep
  exploring or doing bonus work." Prevents agent from endlessly taking
  screenshots and highlighting elements after answering the question.
- switchTab(id, opts): new bringToFront option. Internal tab pinning
  (BROWSE_TAB) uses bringToFront: false so agent commands never steal
  window focus from the user's active app.
- Keep opus model (not sonnet) for prompt injection resistance on untrusted
  web pages. Remove Write from allowedTools (agent only needs Bash for $B).

Subject: [PATCH 26/28] test: agent conciseness, focus stealing, opus model,
 switchTab opts

Tests for the three UX fixes:
- System prompt contains STOP/CONCISE/Do NOT keep exploring
- sidebar agent uses opus (not sonnet) for prompt injection resistance
- switchTab has bringToFront option, defaults to true (opt-out)
- handleCommand tab pinning uses bringToFront: false (no focus steal)
- Updated stale tests: switchTab signature, allowedTools excludes Write,
  narration -> conciseness, tab pinning restore calls

New E2E test (periodic tier, ~$2/run) that exercises the full sidebar
agent pipeline with CSS interaction:
1. Agent navigates to Hacker News
2. Clicks into the top story's comments
3. Reads comments and identifies the most insightful one
4. Highlights it with a 4px solid orange outline via style injection

Tests: navigation, snapshot, text reading, LLM judgment, CSS modification.
Requires real browser + real Claude (ANTHROPIC_API_KEY).

Subject: [PATCH 28/28] =?UTF-8?q?fix:=20sidebar=20CSS=20E2E=20test=20?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=80=94=20correct=20idle=20timeout=20(ms=20not=20s),=20pipe?=
 =?UTF-8?q?=20stdio?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Root cause of test failure: BROWSE_IDLE_TIMEOUT is in milliseconds, not
seconds. '600' = 0.6 seconds, server died immediately after health check.
Fixed to '600000' (10 minutes).

Also: use 'pipe' stdio instead of file descriptors (closing fds kills child
on macOS/bun), catch ConnectionRefused on poll retry, 4 min poll timeout
for the multi-step opus task.

Test passes: agent navigates to HN, reads comments, identifies most
insightful one, highlights it with orange CSS, stops. 114s, $0.00.
