## Project Structure & Module Organization
-This is a Bun-powered TypeScript WebExtension for Zen Browser, Firefox, and Chrome; the product is "Tabglutton". Core logic lives in `src/`: `background.ts` wires browser events, `dedup.ts` plans duplicate tab closures (keeper-selection lives in `pickKeeper` here, not in a separate policy module), `normalize.ts` canonicalizes URLs, `storage.ts` handles settings, `clip-current.ts` is the Defuddle-based content extractor injected into pages by Devour, `clip-format.ts` builds the Obsidian markdown + frontmatter and the `obsidian://new` URL, and `target.ts` exposes `IS_CHROME` / `IS_FIREFOX` for the few places that need to branch by target. Popup UI files are in `popup/`, options UI files are in `options/`, the Chrome-only `obsidian://` launch shim is in `redirect/`, and static assets are in `icons/`. `manifest.json` defines the Firefox shape and is patched in memory for Chrome. `build.ts` accepts `--target=firefox|chrome|all` and writes `dist-firefox/` or `dist-chrome/`; treat `dist-firefox/`, `dist-chrome/`, `.dev-profile*`, and `web-ext-artifacts/` as generated output.

The agent bridge (see `BRIDGE.md`) lives in `bridge-protocol.ts` (wire contract, shared with the sidecar), `bridge-client.ts` (loopback WebSocket client + alarm-driven reconnect), `bridge-methods.ts` (the six tool implementations), and `undo-log.ts` (close/undo trail). Popup UI files are in `popup/`, options UI files are in `options/`, the Chrome-only `obsidian://` launch shim is in `redirect/`, and static assets are in `icons/`. `manifest.json` defines the Firefox shape and is patched in memory for Chrome. `build.ts` accepts `--target=firefox|chrome|all` and writes `dist-firefox/` or `dist-chrome/`; treat `dist-firefox/`, `dist-chrome/`, `.dev-profile*`, and `web-ext-artifacts/` as generated output.
## Cross-browser build
- Sources stay shared. `src/target.ts` is checked in with `TARGET = "firefox"`. For the Chrome build, `build.ts` overwrites the compiled `dist-chrome/src/target.js` to flip the constant — sources are never mutated.
- Chrome uses `webextension-polyfill` so the `browser.*` call sites keep working. The Chrome service worker is bundled with `Bun.build` (polyfill inlined). Popup/options HTML pages get `` injected before the module script tag.
-- Chrome manifest differences (applied in memory in `build.ts`): drop `browser_specific_settings`, swap `background.scripts` → `background.service_worker`, swap SVG icons → PNG (`icons/icon-chomp-{16,32,48,128}.png`, rasterized via `rsvg-convert`), set `minimum_chrome_version: "116"`.
+- Chrome manifest differences (applied in memory in `build.ts`): drop `browser_specific_settings`, swap `background.scripts` → `background.service_worker`, swap SVG icons → PNG (`icons/icon-chomp-{16,32,48,128}.png`, rasterized via `rsvg-convert`), set `minimum_chrome_version: "120"` (116 covers the MV3 features, but 116-119 clamp extension alarms to a one-minute minimum — the bridge's reconnect alarm is 30s and an agent's first call only waits 45s, so a sleeping worker there answers "no browser is connected" before the alarm ever fires; unpacked builds never reproduce it, their floor is 1s).
- Chrome has no `tab.hidden` and no `getBrowserInfo`; `storage.ts` defaults `scope` to `"current-window"` on Chrome, `background.ts` short-circuits `probeHeuristic` and the `hidden: false` query branch, and the options page hides the scope radio group.
- Chrome rejects the Firefox-only `tabs.onUpdated` filter argument (`{ properties: [...] }`) with "This event does not support filters" — at top level that aborts service-worker registration. `background.ts` registers through the `onTabUpdated` helper, which drops the filter on Chrome (the callbacks already guard on `changeInfo.status`).
- `clip-current.js` is injected as a content script via `scripting.executeScript({ files })`. Chrome validates it with `base::IsStringUTF8`, which — unlike plain UTF-8 validity — rejects Unicode noncharacters / unpaired surrogates (e.g. a raw `U+FFFF` the minifier emits inside a Defuddle regex range), reporting "It isn't UTF-8 encoded." `build.ts` escapes those to `\uXXXX` after bundling (`escapeChromeUnsafeCodePoints`); Firefox skips the check.
- The `obsidian://` clip handoff launches through the extension-origin page `redirect/obsidian-redirect.html` on Chrome instead of a direct `tabs.create({ url: "obsidian://…" })`. Chrome only offers a rememberable "Always allow" for a protocol launch that has a page origin; a browser-initiated launch prompts on every clip. The one-time `chrome-extension://` approval is bootstrapped by the onboarding ping (same origin), so clips fire silently after. Firefox launches the protocol directly (dev pref / the user's registered handler).
- `web-ext lint` is Firefox-only tooling; the `lint:ext` script lints `dist-firefox/` only. The Chrome zip is validated by the Chrome Web Store upload flow.
+- Chrome assigns a **new tab id** when it discards a tab (verified on 150: `chrome.tabs.discard(766110265)` returns a tab with id `766110267`). Firefox keeps the id. Any flow that lists tabs and acts on them later — which is the whole shape of a bridge triage run — can therefore meet ids that no longer resolve even though the tabs still exist, so `bridge-methods.ts` appends `STALE_ID_HINT` to every "no such tab id" error rather than letting it read as "the tab was closed."
+- **Waking a discarded tab is `tabs.reload()`, not `tabs.update({ discarded: false })`** — the latter is inconsistent across Firefox versions. `ensureTabReady` in `background.ts` owns this for both the popup's Devour (`clipTab({ wake: true })`) and the bridge's `tabs_load`, and it attaches its `onUpdated` "complete" listener _before_ reading the tab, not after: `tabs.get` is an IPC round trip, and a tab that finishes loading during it would fire into a listener that does not exist yet and then sit until the timeout. For the mirror-image reason it reads no status back _after_ the reload — `tabs.reload` resolves before the navigation starts, so a read there still reports the pre-reload `"complete"` and would call a tab ready just as it blanks out.
+- Neither engine gives you a tab's real URL **until its navigation commits**, and they disagree on what they give you instead. Chrome reports `url: ""` and parks the target in the Chrome-only `pendingUrl`; Gecko reports `about:blank` (verified on Zen 1.21.9b) and exposes the target nowhere. So a tab caught mid-load looked address-less on Chrome — silently dropped from `tabs_list` and, far worse, from the undo log, making that one close unreversible. `bridge-methods.ts` reads both fields through the `tabUrl` helper; any new code reading `tab.url` on Chrome needs the same fallback. On Gecko the same close records `about:blank` and reopens blank, which is a limitation, not a bug we can fix — triage acts on tabs from a listing, which have long since committed.
+- Chrome's **`tabs.remove` rejects the whole call on a duplicate id** ("No tab with id: N") — the first removal succeeds, the second finds nothing — so a batch containing the same id twice closes the tab _and_ reports failure. `parseTabsCloseParams` deduplicates before anything acts on the list. Dedup is not the whole fix, because **a batch removal is not all-or-nothing**: Chrome removes in order and rejects at the first id that no longer resolves, so the tabs ahead of it are closed and the ones behind it are not — and a stale id (which Chrome mints on every discard) takes that same path without any duplicate involved. `removeTabs` in `bridge-methods.ts` therefore treats a rejection as a demotion, not an answer: it retries each id alone and then asks the browser which ids still exist. **Absence is the signal, not the retry's own result** — a tab the batch call already took rejects the retry too, and reading that as "still open" would drop its undo entry, which is the one close `undo_close` could never reverse.
+- **Never open a WebSocket at a port that has not answered, and give the dial its own long deadline.** Gecko delays reconnects to an endpoint that has been refusing (`network.websocket.delay-failed-reconnects`) and applies that delay _before_ issuing the TCP connect, so the socket sits in CONNECTING with nothing for `lsof` to see. The mechanism is `FailDelayManager` in `netwerk/protocol/websocket/WebSocketChannel.cpp`, and its numbers are what make the rest of this tractable: the delay grows x1.5 per failed connect from 200-400ms, is **capped at 60s** (`kWSReconnectMaxDelay`), is measured from the _last_ failure, and is deleted outright by one successful connect. Only failed **WebSocket** connects feed it — a plain HTTP request is not one, and closing a socket before it has connected is explicitly excluded (`NS_ERROR_NOT_CONNECTED`). So the thing that actually accumulates a penalty is a re-dial loop hammering an empty port: 8 fast retries per wake is ~9 failures per 30s and reaches the ceiling inside a minute, where the 30s alarm alone would take ~7. Three consequences, all load-bearing:
+ - `BRIDGE_DIAL_TIMEOUT_MS` is 120s — twice the ceiling — and bounds only a socket that neither opens nor errors. Two shorter builds (5s, then 25s) each wedged the bridge permanently against a sidecar answering `curl` in 0.47ms with a `101`, while the build with _no_ dial deadline connected fine, just slowly (~70s, the delay at the time). `BRIDGE_HANDSHAKE_TIMEOUT_MS` (5s) is a separate deadline, armed on `open`.
+ - The fast-retry burst is armed **only after losing an established connection**, never after a dial that failed to land. Having just been connected is the only proof we get that something is there to retry into.
+ - `BridgeClient` probes with `fetch("http://127.0.0.1:/")` before opening a socket and dials only if something answers — any response counts, including Gullet's `403` for a non-upgrade request. This keeps the penalty at zero rather than merely survivable: without it an enabled bridge with no sidecar sits at the 60s ceiling after ~7 idle minutes, and because the ceiling is measured from the last failure while we re-dial every 30s, the first connect of a session lands anywhere in 0-60s — the "stuck on Connecting…" symptom, produced with every part of the bridge healthy. The probe is never a gate: after `PROBE_MISSES_BEFORE_DIALLING_BLIND` misses it dials anyway, so a `fetch` blocked by some future local-network rule degrades to the old behaviour instead of to a bridge that never dials at all. And because probing is free in exactly the way a dial is not, discovery no longer waits on the alarm: while the page is awake an idle loop re-probes every 3s (`IDLE_PROBE_MS`), so a sidecar started mid-session is found in seconds rather than within one alarm period — which is what used to lose the session-start race against `BRIDGE_CONNECT_WAIT_MS` (now 45s, one full period plus real slop). The 30s alarm remains the backstop that survives page suspension, and idle-loop misses never count toward dialling blind — only ticks from outside the loop do (the alarm, a page wake, `sync()`, a fast retry): a blind dial is a failed WebSocket connect, the one thing that feeds the penalty, and inheriting the 3s cadence would rebuild the ceiling the probe exists to avoid. The miss counter is deliberately instance-only and dies with the page: a durable counter (`storage.session`) was tried so the valve would fire "reliably" across suspensions, and it accumulated wake-time misses fast enough to rebuild a near-ceiling reconnect penalty within ~15 minutes — observed live as `bridge socket open after 48129ms` against a healthy sidecar — so it was reverted the same session. (That browser was later caught failing socket creation browser-wide — its own Push service logging `NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED` — so the counter may not own that 48s alone; see the open question in `BRIDGE.md`. The revert stands either way: blind dials are the only penalty input we control.) Suspension resetting the count is what keeps blind dials rare; the valve still counts to four during real awake use, the only world where escaping a blocked `fetch` helps.
+
+ Diagnosing an accumulated delay: a _constant_ timeout is the tell (a real connect failure varies, a deadline does not), the socket's own `error` arrives **after** our abort, and the browser can still reach the port over plain HTTP — loading `http://127.0.0.1:4588/` in a tab renders Gullet's `403 Forbidden` instantly. Prove the server independently with `curl -i --http1.1 -H "Upgrade: websocket" -H "Connection: Upgrade" -H "Sec-WebSocket-Version: 13" -H "Sec-WebSocket-Key: dGhlIHNhbXBsZSBub25jZQ==" -H "Origin: moz-extension://x" http://127.0.0.1:4588/`. The delay is in-memory, so restarting the browser clears an accumulated one. But a FailDelay hold is capped at 60s and ends in a normal connect — `bridge dial timed out after 120000ms` hitting the full deadline repeatedly, with no SYN visible in `lsof` and the server healthy, is a different animal: browser-wide socket dysfunction (the Browser Console shows Firefox's own Push service failing with `NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED`), observed live in a ~1,050-tab Zen and cleared only by restarting the browser. See the reproduction in `BRIDGE.md`'s open questions before touching any bridge constant over it.
+
+- **`manifest.json` must keep its explicit `content_security_policy.extension_pages`.** Firefox's _default_ MV3 extension CSP includes `upgrade-insecure-requests`, and that directive rewrites WebSocket URLs too — `ws://127.0.0.1:4588/` silently becomes `wss://`, loopback included. The bridge sidecar then receives a TLS ClientHello, so Bun's `fetch` handler never runs and the connection is invisible from _both_ ends: nothing logged in gullet, and the extension sees only close code **1015** (TLS handshake failure). Declaring `"script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'"` explicitly drops the directive and the dial succeeds. If bridge connections start failing with 1015, this key is the first thing to check.
+- **Open, unexplained: the first `tabs_list` of a session times out on a large backlog** — the full 45s `BRIDGE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, with an immediate retry succeeding. Recurring. The connection is provably fine at the time (a `tab_read` on the same `connectionId` answers instantly), so do not read it as a reconnect fault — it is not the failure mode the dial/probe work addresses. Startup contention and response size are both live hypotheses and the observation to date does not separate them; the full brief, with what is ruled out and the discriminating test, is under "Open questions" in `BRIDGE.md`.
+- **Bridge requests are served concurrently, so anything browser-global needs a queue.** `bridge-client.ts` dispatches every frame as its own `void this.onMessage(...)`, and hub/peer election exists precisely so several agent sessions drive one browser at once — two `tabs_close` calls genuinely interleave. `storage.local` has no compare-and-swap, so the undo log's read-await-write was a lost update: both callers read the same log, both appended their batch, the second write dropped the first, and those tabs were closed with no batch left for `undo_close` to find. Every undo-log access now runs through `withUndoLog` (`src/serialize.ts`), and `undo_close` holds it across its restores rather than just its critical sections — that also makes a double undo of one batch safe, since the second caller re-reads inside the lock. The same primitive backs the Obsidian handoff queue, which guards the OS clipboard for the same reason. A new bridge method touching shared state gets a queue, not a hope.
+- **Nothing is closed that the undo log could not put back.** `tabs_close` pairs each tab with its `ClosedTabEntry` before removing anything and leaves an unrecordable tab open (reported as `skipped`) rather than closing it off the end of the log; `tab_clip({ close: true })` holds the same invariant. Ids that no longer resolve come back as `missing`, and `closed` always equals `entries.length` — a listing-then-acting tool must never report more closed than it can reverse. The converse matters just as much: the batch is written _before_ the removal, so anything that then fails to close leaves the log describing a live tab, and `undo_close` with no id takes the **newest** batch — that orphan is precisely what the next undo reaches for, reopening a duplicate of a tab that never went anywhere. Both close paths reconcile: `tabs_close` narrows the batch to what `removeTabs` confirms is gone (the rest join `skipped`), and `tab_clip({ close: true })` checks whether the tab survived a rejected `tabs.remove` before deciding to drop its batch or report the close.
+
+- **Never log a `Settings` object.** It carries `bridgeToken`, which is the entirety of the bridge's authentication — anything holding it can list, read, clip, and close every tab. The startup line in `background.ts` printed it on every wake of the event page, which on this project means continuously, into a console whose contents get pasted wholesale into bug reports and agent sessions. It goes through `loggableSettings` now; a token that has been through a logged build should be regenerated in the options page.
+
+## Gullet (agent bridge sidecar)
+
+`gullet/` is a sibling package, not part of the extension bundle: an MCP server over stdio on one side, a loopback WebSocket hub on the other. It shares `src/bridge-protocol.ts` with the extension so both ends are typechecked against one definition, has its own `gullet/tsconfig.json` (`lib: ES2022`, `types: bun-types` — no DOM, no `browser`), and has zero dependencies. It is excluded from the extension `tsconfig.json`'s `include`, so it never reaches `dist-*`. Setup and troubleshooting live in `gullet/README.md`.
+
+Tests that stand up a real socket bind to port 0 for an ephemeral port. Diagnostics in gullet go to **stderr only** — stdout is the MCP transport and a stray `console.log` corrupts the session.
+
+The stdio pump dispatches requests **concurrently and serializes only the writes**. Awaiting each dispatch before reading the next line froze the whole session for the length of every call — including `ping` and `notifications/cancelled`, so a cancellation could not arrive during the only work it could cancel — and these calls are long by design (`BRIDGE_CONNECT_WAIT_MS`, a 30s `tabs_load` batch). Out-of-order replies are fine, JSON-RPC matches on `id`; interleaved _bytes_ are not, and a `tabs_list` frame for a few hundred tabs is far past any pipe's atomic-write size. Node's Writable would queue chunks in call order, but this is Bun over a pipe and this area has already cost days on assumed platform behaviour, so `serveStdio` chains writes itself. `write()` there returns `false` for backpressure while still completing, so the **callback** is the only honest "this chunk is gone" signal. `McpTransport` is injectable purely so the concurrency is testable.
+
+Gullet elects a **hub**: whichever process binds the port serves the browser, and later ones attach as **peers** (`backend.ts` → `peer.ts`, wire types in `peer-protocol.ts`) and proxy their MCP calls through it, so several agent sessions share one browser connection. Do not reintroduce "losing the port is fatal" — nothing guarantees one Gullet per session, and a single `codex` process was observed spawning two, with its MCP client bound to the loser. Peers live in their own map and are never targets for a bridge method.
+
+The election must **settle, or say why**. `main` awaits `backend.start()` before `serveStdio`, so a loop that only ever exits on winning means the MCP server never answers `initialize` when the port is held by something that will never authenticate — another service, or a Gullet carrying a different token. That is the exact hang the `startupError` path exists to replace, reached by a different road, and it silently undid `b98b94b` when the Supervisor was introduced. So `start()` bounds the **wait** (`ELECTION_START_TIMEOUT_MS`), not the election: it throws when the deadline passes while the election carries on underneath with a backing-off gap. The reason is published on `Supervisor.fault()` rather than only thrown, and `ToolContext.startupError` is a **function** so every tool call re-reads it — a port that frees up mid-session heals in place instead of leaving the client refusing against a snapshot taken at startup.

Scope is intentionally limited to pure logic — browser-API surfaces (`background.ts`, async `storage` helpers, the Defuddle content script) are exercised via `bun run start` or `bun run start:firefox` in a live browser.

The bridge's `tabs_load` follows that split: the batch cap and dedup are tested in `bridge-protocol.test.ts`, its MCP routing in `gullet/tests/tools.test.ts`, and the reload itself is live-only. Sidecar tests live in `gullet/tests/`; `hub.test.ts` is the one exception to the pure-logic rule, standing up a real loopback socket to cover the handshake and request routing end to end. Concurrency invariants are unit-testable and are tested: `serialize.test.ts` covers the queue that guards the undo log (including a reproduction of the interleave that loses a batch without it), and `mcp.test.ts` drives `serveStdio` through a fake `McpTransport` to prove a slow call does not delay a `ping` and that two replies never write at once.

+## Versioning
+
+Versions are `major.minor.patch.build`, and Firefox accepts **at most four parts**. The first three are the release version and are the only ones that belong in `package.json` / `manifest.json`; the fourth is a counter for signed test builds and is owned entirely by `bun run sign:dev`, which writes it into the artifact and a local git tag and then restores both files. Keeping `package.json` at three parts is also what lets `commit-and-tag-version` work at all — semver has no fourth position.
+
+Committing a four-part version breaks that invariant (it happened once, in `ebbb933 Release 0.1.2.1`). `sign-dev.ts` now slices to the release triple so it cannot emit a five-part version AMO would reject, and counts the build number from `max(highest local tag, any fourth part in package.json)` — AMO requires versions to be unique and strictly increasing, and the tags are local and unpushed, so they are not trustworthy on their own. Bump the release version normally; let the build counter take care of itself.

## Commit & Pull Request Guidelines
The current history uses a concise imperative subject with optional scope detail, for example `Initial commit: tab dedup extension v1.1 (TypeScript)`. Keep subjects specific and near 72 characters when practical. Pull requests should describe the user-visible change, list verification commands, mention manifest or permission changes, and include screenshots when popup or options UI changes are visible.

+# Agent Bridge
+
+Engineering register for the agent bridge: letting a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, or
+any MCP client) see and manage the user's open tabs through Tabglutton. Working name for
+the sidecar: **Gullet** — the pipe content passes through on its way down.
+
+**The bridge is shipped; this doc is not a proposal.** What follows is the reasoning behind
+the design, the constraints that shaped it, and what is still open. Read "Trust boundary"
+as a contract rather than a sketch — it is enforced in code and things depend on it.
+Decisions that were made and later found wrong are marked ▸ and left in place rather than
+edited away, because the correction is usually worth more than the conclusion.
+
+Where to look instead: `gullet/README.md` to _run_ it, and the MCP schema in
+`gullet/src/tools.ts` — which is executable, so it is authoritative — for exact tool
+signatures. Code lives in `gullet/` (sidecar) and `src/bridge-protocol.ts`,
+`src/bridge-client.ts`, `src/bridge-methods.ts`, `src/undo-log.ts` (extension half).
+
+Companion docs: PRODUCT.md (product register), DESIGN.md (visual system). UI for the bridge
+(badge states, consent surfaces) belongs in DESIGN.md when it lands.
+
+## Why
+
+The user's job should be _foraging_ — browsing, opening whatever looks interesting — not
+_triage_. Today Devour makes triage fast but still manual. The bridge inverts it: an agent
+reads the open-tab backlog, surfaces the high-signal pieces, files keepers into Obsidian
+via the existing clip pipeline, and proposes closures. The human browses; the agent
+digests.
+
+This is the "Triage / agenda" line in PRODUCT.md, resolved: the engine is not an in-
+extension model, it is an external agent given a narrow tab API. Intelligence stays in the
+agent (prompts, skills, the user's vault context); the extension stays hands and eyes.
+
+## Trust boundary (non-goals)
+
+The bridge deliberately exposes **read + file + close**, plus a separately-gated **load**,
+and nothing else:
+
+- No clicking, no form input, no arbitrary script execution in pages, and no navigation to
+ any address the agent chooses. `tabs_load` reloads a tab the _user_ opened, at its own
+ URL, and is the only tool that touches a page rather than reading one; it ships off and
+ has its own settings switch, so enabling the bridge does not enable it.
+- No access to page state beyond what the existing Defuddle clipper extracts.
+- Closing tabs is the only destructive action, and it leaves an undo trail. It reaches the
+ agent through two tools — `tabs_close` and `tab_clip { close: true }` — and both are
+ annotated `destructiveHint: true`, since MCP annotations are per tool, not per call.
+
+This keeps the permission story legible: the agent can read what the user already chose to
+open, file it, and clean up. It cannot _act as_ the user. If richer automation is ever
+wanted, that is a different product (and Claude-in-Chrome already exists for Chrome).

+```
+
+- **Gullet** is a small Bun/TypeScript process living in this repo (`gullet/`). One side is
+ an MCP server over stdio; the other is a WebSocket server bound to loopback on a fixed
+ default port (**4588** — GLUT on a phone keypad), configurable.
+- **The extension background** runs a reconnect loop that dials the port. When no sidecar
+ is running the socket just fails cheaply and the extension idles. When a connection is
+ live, the toolbar badge indicates it (design TBD in DESIGN.md).
+- **MCP tool calls** are translated 1:1 into JSON-RPC-style messages over the socket; the
+ extension executes them with real `browser.*` APIs and returns results.
+- Multiple browsers (e.g. Zen and a Chrome profile) can be connected at once. The sidecar
+ tags each connection with the browser identity from the hello message; tab ids are
+ namespaced per connection and tools accept/return a `browser` field.
+
+### Why not native messaging (for now)
+
+Native messaging hosts are spawned by the _browser_; MCP servers are spawned by the
+_agent_. Using native messaging would still require IPC between the browser-spawned host
+and the agent — a second hop for no gain. The loopback socket is one process and one hop,
+identical on Gecko and Chromium, and trivially debuggable (`bunx wscat`). Native messaging
+remains the right tool if the sidecar ever needs to be browser-launched (see Lifecycle),
+with the caveat that Zen's `NativeMessagingHosts` directory location needs verification —
+Firefox forks differ.
+
+▸ **"No gain" was measured against the wrong thing.** That paragraph weighs native messaging
+purely as a _launch_ mechanism, where a second hop really does buy nothing. It misses the
+lifecycle property: an open native-messaging port is understood to keep a Firefox MV3 event
+page alive, which is precisely the guarantee the whole keepalive-and-alarm apparatus below
+exists to counterfeit. Firefox MV3 has no persistent background option, so a loopback socket
+can never be more than polling around a lifetime the browser does not know it should extend.
+If that property holds, native messaging is not a second hop for no gain — it is the only
+supported way to get the thing this design keeps working around. **Unverified**: the
+behaviour, the Firefox version it landed in, and Zen's host-manifest path all need
+confirming before this becomes a plan. Weigh it against what it costs — a separately
+installed host binary and manifest per browser, replacing today's "install the extension,
+add one line to `.mcp.json`".
+
+## Lifecycle: nobody launches an app
+
+There is no user-visible application and no manual step per session:
+
+1. **Install once**: the extension update ships the bridge module; the user adds Gullet to
+ `.mcp.json` (or `claude mcp add`) in whatever project/agent runs triage.
+2. **Session start**: the agent harness spawns Gullet as an ordinary stdio MCP server.
+ Gullet opens the loopback port.
+3. **Connect**: the extension's reconnect loop finds the port and completes the
+ token/origin handshake. Badge lights up. Discovery is a ~3s HTTP probe loop while
+ the background page is awake, with a 30s alarm as the backstop that survives page
+ suspension — probing is free where dialling is not (see the reconnect notes in
+ AGENTS.md), so a sidecar is found in seconds rather than within one alarm period.
+4. **Session end**: agent exits → Gullet exits → socket drops → extension goes back to
+ idle dialing.
+
+This is the same UX shape as Claude-in-Chrome (extension + CLI negotiate a local
+connection; no dock icon). The difference is we own both ends, so it works on Zen.
+
+A long-running daemon mode (ambient curation without an active agent session, via native
+messaging or launchd) is explicitly deferred until session-scoped triage proves out.
+
+▸ **The daemon was weighed as a feature and deferred as one; it is coming back as a fix.**
+What the ambient-curation framing missed is that the daemon's lifetime is the answer to a
+reliability problem that polling cannot fully solve: because the hub dies with its agent
+session, every session start re-runs port discovery, and discovery-by-polling races the
+first call's connect wait. The probe loop above shrinks that race to a few seconds; a hub
+that outlives sessions removes it. See "Session-start connect latency" under Open
+questions for the sketch.
+
+## Wire protocol
+
+One JSON object per WebSocket frame (the frame is the delimiter), versioned:
+
+- Sidecar → extension on connect: `{ type: "challenge", proto: 1, server, nonce }`.
+- Extension → sidecar: `{ type: "hello", proto: 1, browser: "firefox" | "chrome",
+extVersion, label, nonce, proof }`.
+- Sidecar → extension: `{ type: "hello-ack", proto, connectionId, proof }`, or
+ `{ type: "hello-error", error }`.
+- Sidecar → extension requests: `{ type: "request", id, method, params }`; responses
+ `{ type: "response", id, result }` or `{ type: "response", id, error: { code, message } }`.
+- Heartbeat ping/pong every ~20s, as application-level messages rather than WebSocket
+ control frames. On Chrome this doubles as the MV3 service-worker keepalive (socket
+ activity extends worker lifetime since Chrome 116, below our
+ `minimum_chrome_version`) — control frames the browser answers itself would not.
+
+▸ **The token is not sent.** The sketch had the extension put its token in the hello and
+the sidecar echo it back, which proves nothing in the return direction. Instead each side
+proves it knows the token by hashing it against a nonce the _other_ side chose:
+`proof = SHA-256(len(token):token:nonce)`. The token never crosses the wire, a captured
+proof cannot be replayed against a fresh nonce, and the extension's check of the ack is a
+real check. Length-prefixing keeps a token containing `:` from being confusable with a
+different token/nonce split.
+
+Shared request/response types live in `src/bridge-protocol.ts`, imported by both the
+extension and Gullet so the contract is typechecked from one definition.
+
+## Tool surface (v1)
+
+| MCP tool | Backing APIs | Notes |
+| ------------ | ------------------------------------------------------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `tabs_list` | `tabs.query` | id, title, url, `lastAccessed`, `discarded`, `pinned`; on Firefox also `hidden` (≈ other Zen workspaces). Metadata only — cheap over hundreds of tabs. |
+| `tabs_load` | `tabs.reload` + `tabs.onUpdated` | Wakes discarded tabs so they can be read. Batched (≤20), three at a time, under a 30s deadline; per-tab `ready`/`pending`/`failed`. Gated on a settings toggle, default off — answers `not-enabled` until then. |
+| `tab_read` | `scripting.executeScript` + existing `clip-current.ts` | Returns Defuddle markdown + metadata. Fails cleanly on discarded tabs (see below). |
+| `tab_clip` | existing `clip-format.ts` + `obsidian://new` handoff | Files into the vault exactly as manual Devour does, including the Chrome redirect-page dance. |
+| `tabs_close` | `tabs.remove` | Batched, ids deduplicated. Entries (title, url, pinned, window, index, private) are recorded in an undo log in `storage.local` _before_ the removal, and the batch id comes back with the result. |
+| `undo_close` | reopen from the log | Safety valve for the one destructive act. Omit the batch id to undo the most recent. |
+
+Deliberately absent: navigate, click, type, evaluate.
+
+▸ **`tab_load` shipped as `tabs_load`, plural.** It was sketched as a per-tab v1.1 tool.
+But loading is dominated by the network wait, not by IPC, and the workflow that needs it —
+"here are the 30 discarded survivors of a metadata cut" — is inherently a batch. One tab per
+call would have serialised 30 page loads into 30 round trips, each of them mostly idle. So
+it takes an id array like `tabs_close`, loads a few concurrently, and answers per tab.
+
+Being a batch is also what forces the rest of its shape. Its wall-clock budget
+(`TABS_LOAD_DEADLINE_MS`, 30s) sits deliberately under `BRIDGE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS` (45s):
+a batch that overran the request timeout would reach the agent as a bare timeout even though
+most of its tabs had in fact loaded, and the agent would then redo work the browser had
+already done. Stopping first lets every tab in the request get an outcome, with the ones it
+never reached marked `pending` rather than silently missing. `pending` and `failed` are kept
+apart for the same reason: one means "ask again", the other means "asking again will not
+help". The batch cap (20) and the concurrency limit (3) are the memory manners — anyone with
+a backlog big enough to need this is running an auto-discarder precisely because memory is
+scarce, and waking twenty pages at once would spend exactly what the discarder saved.
+
+The gate is a real one and it is separate from `bridgeEnabled`: `bridgeAllowTabLoad`,
+default off, surfaced as **Agent bridge → "Let agents load unloaded tabs"**. A refused call
+returns the `not-enabled` code — distinct from `unsupported` because this one has a fix the
+agent can state to the user.
+
+`tabs_list` with no `browser` argument fans out over every connected browser and tags each
+tab with its origin, so discovering what is connected costs no extra round trip. The
+tab-scoped tools refuse to guess between two browsers, because ids only mean something
+within one.
+
+**Restoring is exact where it can be and safe where it cannot.** A batch is recreated in
+ascending index order within each window; inserting a low index after a high one would
+shift the tab already placed there. A recorded window id is trusted only when a live window
+with that id shares the tab's privacy context — ids start over after a browser restart
+while the log persists, and a private tab reopened in a normal window would put its URL
+into history and sync. When the original window is gone the tab goes to a window of the
+matching context, opening one if the last was closed. Anything that still cannot be
+reopened stays in the log under the same batch id so `undo_close` can be retried; only the
+tabs that actually came back are dropped from it.
+
+## The discarded-tab problem
+
+With hundreds of tabs, most are unloaded; `scripting.executeScript` cannot run in them.
+Strategy, in order:
+
+1. **Triage on metadata first.** The agent workflow should cut on title/url/age before
+ reading anything. This is also what makes triaging 300 tabs affordable in tokens.
+2. **Sidecar fetch fallback.** For discarded survivors, Gullet fetches the URL itself and
+ runs Defuddle over the HTML (`defuddle/node` + a DOM shim). Works for the public-
+ article majority of a foraging backlog; loses cookies, so authed/paywalled pages fail
+ with a distinct error the agent can report ("needs manual load").
+3. **`tabs_load`** — _shipped, opt-in_. Wakes the survivors so `tab_read` reaches them,
+ including the authed and paywalled ones a sidecar fetch could never get. In practice this
+ inverts the order above rather than sitting behind it: once loading is switched on, waking
+ 30 tabs the user is already logged into beats fetching them cookie-less, so the fetch
+ fallback matters mainly when loading is left off.
+
+## Security model
+
+- Bind **loopback only**; never 0.0.0.0.
+- **Origin check**: WebSocket upgrade requests must carry the extension origin
+ (`moz-extension://…` / `chrome-extension://`). This blocks the realistic attacker —
+ a hostile web page opening `ws://127.0.0.1:4588` from inside the browser.
+- **Shared token**: generated by the extension (options page, one-time copy into Gullet's
+ config/env) and required before any method is served. Never transmitted — both ends
+ prove knowledge of it against the other's nonce (see Wire protocol). The extension
+ refuses to talk to a server that cannot answer its challenge, and the sidecar refuses a
+ browser that cannot answer its own.
+- **Revocation**: regenerating the token — or changing the port — drops any live socket.
+ The handshake pins the token it proved, so a sidecar that authenticated with the revoked
+ token cannot keep serving requests on a connection that is already open.
+- **Opt-in**: the bridge is off by default and no socket is opened until the user enables
+ it and generates a token, so a user who never wants this never dials anything.
+- The sidecar holds no credentials and stores no content; tab text flows through it to the
+ MCP client and is not persisted.
+- Prompt-injection posture: page content is attacker-controlled input to the agent. The
+ narrow tool surface is the mitigation — the worst a poisoned page can trick the agent
+ into is closing tabs (undoable), clipping junk into the Obsidian inbox (deletable), or
+ loading a tab the user already had open. `tabs_load` was weighed against this before it
+ shipped: the agent chooses _which_ tab to wake but never its URL, so the reachable set is
+ exactly the user's own open tabs, and the delta is that a page the user opened once runs
+ again. That is small, but it is not nothing — it is why the tool is gated rather than
+ simply added. This posture must be re-evaluated before any richer tool.
+
+## Manifest / build changes
+
+- One new permission: `alarms` (reconnect wake). No new permission is needed for the
+ WebSocket itself.
+- ▸ **An explicit `content_security_policy.extension_pages` turned out to be mandatory.**
+ Firefox's default MV3 extension CSP includes `upgrade-insecure-requests`, which applies
+ to WebSocket URLs as well as fetches: `ws://127.0.0.1:4588/` is rewritten to `wss://`,
+ loopback and all. Gullet then receives a TLS ClientHello instead of an HTTP upgrade, so
+ its `fetch` handler never runs and it logs nothing; the extension sees only close code
+ **1015**. The connection fails invisibly from both ends. The manifest now declares
+ `"script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'"` — the same policy minus that directive. This
+ cost most of a debugging session; it is recorded in AGENTS.md too.
+- ▸ **`sessions` was not needed.** The plan was to restore through `sessions.restore` where
+ available, falling back to the log. But matching a recently-closed session to a log entry
+ is only possible by URL, which is ambiguous with duplicate tabs — the exact case this
+ extension exists for. Recreating from the log via `tabs.create` is deterministic and
+ restores pin state and index, so the permission buys nothing. Per the repo's minimal-
+ permission policy, it is not requested.
+- No new host permissions (`*://*/*` already covers the clipper).
+- `gullet/` is a sibling package with its own `tsconfig.json`, sharing
+ `src/bridge-protocol.ts` and the repo's check pipeline (`bun run typecheck` covers both
+ projects; `bun test` picks up `gullet/tests/`). It has no dependencies of its own —
+ Bun's built-in WebSocket server and a hand-rolled tools-only MCP server are enough, so
+ `bun run gullet/gullet.ts` works with nothing installed.
+- `build.ts` gains nothing target-specific: the bridge module is shared source; the only
+ Chrome divergence is the keepalive note above. `gullet/` is outside the extension
+ tsconfig's `include`, so it never lands in `dist-*`.
+
+## Phasing
+
+Deliberately short: git records what shipped when, so this keeps only what each phase
+_proved_. Anything still unproven has moved to Open questions, where it gets read.
+
+1. **Bridge v1** — shipped. Six tools, token/origin auth, undo log. Verified end to end on
+ both engines by scripts driving the real hub against a real browser: **Chrome 150** over
+ CDP (17 checks) and **Zen 1.21.9b** over Marionette (15 checks). Between them: duplicate
+ ids collapse to one close, out-of-order ids restore to their recorded index order, a batch
+ whose window vanished returns to a window of the same privacy context, a private batch
+ reopens private, a partial undo keeps its failures for a retry, and regenerating the token
+ drops the live socket instead of letting it keep serving. The same scripts against pre-fix
+ code fail 6 checks on Chrome and 11 on Zen — they discriminate, rather than merely passing.
+ Two engine differences fell out of that run and live in AGENTS.md: uncommitted navigations
+ have no recoverable URL on Gecko, and Zen mirrors essential tabs into every window, so
+ "this window's tabs" is a bigger batch there than it looks.
+2. **v1.1 `tabs_load`** — shipped, verified on Gecko. Zen 1.21.9b against a real ~975-tab
+ session: two lazily-discarded tabs woken in one call (`2 ready, 0 pending, 0 failed`),
+ neither stealing focus, both then readable through Defuddle, nothing else altered. The
+ fixtures being tabs Zen had discarded on its own is what also finally exercised the Gecko
+ `tab-discarded` path, which phase 1 could only manufacture on Chrome.
+3. **Curation workflow** — next, and deliberately not in this repo: a `/triage-tabs` skill
+ living with the agent. Metadata cut → read survivors → digest note in Obsidian ("12
+ high-signal, 40 clipped, 180 proposed closures — approve?"). Closure stays behind human
+ approval.
+
+## Open questions
+
+- **Why the first `tabs_list` of a session times out on a large backlog.** Recurring, not a
+ one-off: the first call after an extension reload fails with `timeout` at the full 45s
+ `BRIDGE_REQUEST_TIMEOUT_MS`, and an immediate retry of the same call succeeds. Observed on
+ Zen 1.21.9b at 730 tabs in one window (~1000 total) with extension 0.1.3.7.
+ - **Ruled out.** Not the connection: a `tab_read` on the same `connectionId` answered
+ correctly and instantly inside the same window of time. Not a stale hub entry: `selectOne`
+ would have reported `ambiguous-target` and did not, so exactly one browser was registered.
+ Not `tabsList` itself: unchanged across the whole fix series, and it succeeds seconds later
+ against the same tab set.
+ - **Two hypotheses, and the observation does not separate them.**
+ 1. _Startup contention._ The background page is single-threaded. `init()` runs
+ `bridge.start()` first — deliberately, so the handshake lands before the slow work — and
+ then `probeHeuristic()` and `refreshBadge()` over the entire tab set. But a completed
+ handshake does not mean the page is free to _serve_: a request arriving during the badge
+ pass queues behind it, and at this scale that pass is not cheap.
+ 2. _Response size._ `tabs_list` for that window is ~253 KB of JSON in one WebSocket frame.
+ `tab_read` — the call that worked at the same moment — is a small fraction of that, so
+ size and timing were confounded in the observation and neither is excluded.
+ - **Discriminating test.** Immediately after an extension reload, call `tabs_list` twice back
+ to back. First fails and second succeeds ⇒ startup contention. Large responses failing
+ intermittently well after startup ⇒ size, and the thing to measure is `JSON.stringify` cost
+ plus whether the 45s budget is covering the frame write rather than the query. Worth timing
+ `queryAllTabs()`, `probeHeuristic()` and `refreshBadge()` in isolation at this scale first —
+ the answer may be visible without reproducing the failure at all.
+ - **Why it matters more than its frequency suggests.** It lands on the first call of a
+ session and reads to an agent as a dead bridge — the exact failure mode the reconnect work
+ was meant to eliminate — so it spends the credibility that work bought back.
+- **Session-start connect latency: mitigated by faster discovery; ended by a detached
+ hub.** The recurring "first connection window misses, the retry succeeds" was a race
+ between two ~30s timers: discovery was strictly alarm-cadenced (30s) while
+ `BRIDGE_CONNECT_WAIT_MS` was 35s, and the 5s margin was eaten by alarm jitter plus the
+ wake cost of `init()` at ~1000 tabs. Shipped mitigation: the extension re-probes every
+ 3s while its page is awake — probing is plain HTTP, exempt from Gecko's
+ `FailDelayManager`, so the loop costs nothing and dials nothing until a server answers
+ — the alarm is demoted to the suspension backstop, and the wait is now 45s so even the
+ backstop path fits inside the first call. While the page is awake, session-start
+ connect drops from 0–30s to a few seconds — and the five-minute post-drop keepalive
+ linger makes back-to-back sessions the loop's strongest case; a page that did suspend
+ still pays up to one alarm period, which the 45s wait now covers. The wait is one
+ number for both kinds of session: a Gullet that loses the port election serves its
+ first call with the hub's own `BRIDGE_CONNECT_WAIT_MS`, and the peer's outer RPC
+ deadline sits strictly above the hub's inner budget (`PEER_RPC_SLACK_MS`) so a hub
+ still legitimately waiting can never read as a dead one.
+ - ▸ **A durable blind-dial counter shipped inside this mitigation and was reverted the
+ same session.** Persisting `probeMisses` in `storage.session` — so the blocked-`fetch`
+ escape valve would fire reliably across suspensions — inverted a load-bearing
+ accident: the instance counter dying with the page was precisely what kept blind
+ dials, the only input to Gecko's reconnect penalty, rare. Made durable, wake-time
+ misses accumulated and the valve fired often enough to rebuild a near-ceiling
+ `FailDelayManager` record in ~15 minutes; the first live session-start after the
+ change logged `bridge socket open after 48129ms` against a sidecar answering HTTP in
+ microseconds — the exact "stuck on Connecting…" the probe architecture exists to
+ prevent, manufactured by code meant to make startup fast. The valve keeps its
+ ephemeral counter; its unreliability under suspension is the design.
+ - ▸ **The browser itself intermittently fails to create sockets, which reopens the
+ attribution.** The build with the counter reverted showed the same ~5-minute
+ session-start discovery on the same day — and that browser's own console carries
+ recurring `PushServiceWebSocket: beginWSSetup: asyncOpen failed
+NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED` bursts: Firefox's Push service, no Tabglutton
+ involvement, unable to open a WebSocket at the OS socket layer. A bridge dial landing
+ inside such a burst fails instantly, and every one of those failures is a real failed
+ WebSocket connect — exactly what feeds `FailDelayManager` — while the HTTP probe can
+ keep succeeding off a pooled connection, so the extension keeps deciding to dial into
+ a wall. That would produce both observations without the counter: the 48s penalized
+ dial and multi-minute discovery on either build. Raw fd exhaustion is measured out
+ (1,409 fds against a 184,320 per-process cap at the time of check; ~430 sockets, most
+ of them QUIC/UDP one-per-origin at ~1000 tabs), so the burst mechanism — necko
+ internal socket limits, or transient `EMFILE`-class spikes — is not yet pinned. The
+ discriminating check when discovery is slow: open the Browser Console and look for
+ `NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED` lines clustering around the window. If they are
+ there, the machine, not the bridge, is the bottleneck — and it is one more reason
+ the detached hub below is the real fix, since a standing connection only has to win
+ a socket once, not once per session.
+ - ▸ **A controlled reproduction settled it: discovery is exonerated, the dial itself
+ hangs inside Gecko.** 2026-07-29, after 4+ hours of extension idle: Gullet bound the
+ port at 03:24:56.6Z and the extension dialled at 03:24:56.8Z — the probe loop found
+ the sidecar in **180ms**, exactly to spec. The dial then sat in CONNECTING for the
+ full 120s `BRIDGE_DIAL_TIMEOUT_MS`, twice consecutively, while an external `lsof`
+ watch on the port saw **no SYN ever reach TCP** — Firefox's own "can't establish a
+ connection" errors surfaced only after our abort. The third dial established TCP in
+ ~1.3s, but the WebSocket upgrade never completed: Gullet saw no connection, the
+ extension never reached `open`, and the socket was gone minutes later.
+ `FailDelayManager` cannot produce this shape — its ceiling is 60s and a hold ends in
+ a normal connect — so the earlier "socket open after 48129ms" and "after 33819ms"
+ reads as the mild form of the same thing, and the blockage sits deeper in necko
+ (per-host WebSocket admission serialization and socket-transport pressure are the
+ candidates), in a browser whose own Push service was failing with
+ `NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED` the same day at ~1,050 tabs. Everything we control
+ behaved correctly: probe found the port instantly, the dial deadline fired, the
+ retry kept the client live. A browser restart is the clearing action. A shorter
+ dial deadline (dials are probe-gated now, so an aborted dial against a live server
+ is cheap) is a candidate experiment, but it rests on this one run — and the run is
+ the strongest argument yet for the detached hub, which dials once per browser
+ session instead of once per agent session.
+ - **The structural fix is to make the connection predate the session.** Polling exists
+ only because the hub's lifetime is bound to the agent session that spawned it. The
+ hub/peer election already lets N sessions share one browser connection; the missing
+ piece is a hub that outlives them: the first Gullet that finds no listener spawns a
+ _detached_ hub and attaches to it as a peer, exactly as later sessions already do.
+ The extension then holds one long-lived socket (the 20s heartbeat already maintains
+ it) and session start becomes a peer attach — local, instant, no window at all.
+ - Lifecycle sketch: the detached hub self-exits after long idle (no peers for some
+ hours); version skew rides the hello (`proto` is already checked) — a newer peer
+ asks an older hub to retire and re-races the port, which binding already settles
+ atomically; token regeneration already drops live sockets, so revocation is
+ unchanged. Nothing about the trust boundary moves: same port, same token, same
+ origin check.
+ - The honest open problem is the **keepalive entitlement**. Today a live socket _is_
+ proof an agent session exists, which is what justifies holding the event page awake
+ (`KEEPALIVE_PING_MS`). A persistent hub breaks that proof: staying connected around
+ the clock means the page never suspends, spending wakeups on nobody. The likely
+ shape is the hub advertising whether any peer is attached, with the extension
+ holding the page awake only then — which keeps the instant-attach property (the hub
+ is always listening, so the probe loop reconnects in seconds even from a drop)
+ without pinning the browser for idle hours.
+ - What it settles for free: the event-page-lifetime question below becomes empirical —
+ a permanently connected extension either stays up or provably does not — and native
+ messaging remains the fallback if Firefox turns out to suspend the page out from
+ under a long-lived socket in practice, that being the one property native messaging
+ uniquely buys (see the ▸ note under "Why not native messaging").
+ - What it does _not_ fix: the first-`tabs_list` timeout above is post-connect and
+ orthogonal — a persistent connection may even surface it more often, since
+ connect-window failures will stop masking it.
+- **`tabs_load` on Chrome is unverified, and tab-id churn is exactly why.** A Chrome tab gets
+ a new id when it is _discarded_; whether waking one churns the id a second time is unknown.
+ If it does, the completion event names an id `ensureTabReady` is not watching, and the wait
+ times out on a tab that in fact loaded. That is why a failed wait re-reads the tab before
+ answering — a vanished id then surfaces as `failed` with `STALE_ID_HINT` ("re-list for
+ current ids") rather than a silent `pending` for a tab the agent already has. Gecko cannot
+ settle which branch fires: it keeps tab ids, and every load in the v1.1 run came back under
+ the id it was asked about. Needs a CDP run driving `chrome.tabs.discard()`.
+- Outstanding for v1.1 beyond `tabs_load` itself: sidecar fetch fallback, autonomy ratchets
+ (auto-close known-noise domains, auto-close anything clipped), scheduled runs.
+- Zen `NativeMessagingHosts` path (only matters for the deferred daemon mode).
+- Whether `tabs_list` should expose Zen workspace _names_ (no API today; `hidden` is the
+ only signal — see the workspace-heuristic notes in AGENTS.md).
+- Whether the idle reconnect loop keeps the Firefox event page from ever suspending. The
+ cadence itself is confirmed (below); what is untested is the page's own lifetime, and
+ whether a 30s alarm is worth the wakeups it costs when no sidecar will ever answer.
+ The answer now also sizes the idle probe loop: the loop's fetches reset no idle timer
+ on either engine (not a WebExtension API call, which is what Gecko counts; not an
+ event, which is what Chrome counts), but if the page never suspends in practice then
+ "while awake" means continuously, and an enabled bridge with no sidecar issues a
+ loopback probe every 3s — ~29k/day. Cheap, but a fact to own rather than discover.
+- Whether `tab_clip` batching needs throttling on the `obsidian://` handoff (Obsidian URI
+ handling under burst load is untested beyond manual Devour rates).
+- ~~One port, many sessions.~~ **Resolved: hub mode.** The sidecar no longer assumes it owns
+ the browser. Whichever Gullet binds the port becomes the _hub_ and serves the browser; every
+ later one attaches to it as a _peer_ over the same socket and proxies its MCP calls through,
+ so N agent sessions share one browser connection. When the hub exits, its peers see the
+ socket drop and re-race for the port; binding is the election, so the OS settles it
+ atomically and two processes can never both believe they are the hub. See
+ `gullet/src/backend.ts` (election), `gullet/src/peer.ts` (the attached side), and
+ `gullet/src/peer-protocol.ts` (the sidecar-only wire types).
+ - What forced it: **nothing guarantees one Gullet per agent session.** The old design read
+ a bind failure as "another session has it" and told the user to close that session or pick
+ another port. Both are wrong — observed live, a single `codex` process spawned _two_
+ sidecars eight seconds apart, and the one its MCP client was actually talking to was the
+ loser. Port arbitration cannot fix that at any retry rate, because the winner is the
+ loser's own sibling with an identical lifetime.
+ - The peer leg reuses the browser handshake — same token, same challenge/proof in both
+ directions — and is told apart by an optional `role: "peer"` on the hello. A peer proves
+ the token like anything else, and the hub proves it back, so a process squatting the port
+ cannot collect another session's tool traffic. Peers are held in their own map: a peer is
+ a source of requests, never a target for one, so it can never be offered to an agent as a
+ browser.

+# Gullet
+
+The sidecar half of Tabglutton's agent bridge — the pipe tab content passes through on its
+way to a coding agent. One side is an **MCP server over stdio**, spawned by whatever agent
+harness you use; the other is a **WebSocket server on loopback** that browsers running
+Tabglutton dial into.
+
+Architecture, trust boundary, and phasing live in [`../BRIDGE.md`](../BRIDGE.md). This file
+is the setup guide.
+
+```
+Claude Code ──MCP (stdio)──► Gullet ──WebSocket (127.0.0.1:4588)──► Zen / Firefox / Chrome
+```
+
+Zero dependencies: it runs on Bun's built-ins alone, so there is nothing to install beyond
+having the repo checked out.
+
+**Two names, one product.** "Gullet" is the internal name for this sidecar; everything a
+user or an agent sees says **Tabglutton**. So the MCP server registers as `tabglutton`, the
+tools appear under that namespace, and the token is `TABGLUTTON_TOKEN`. `GULLET_TOKEN` and
+`GULLET_PORT` still work as aliases.
+
+## Setup
+
+1. **Turn the bridge on in the browser.** Tabglutton → Settings → _Agent bridge_ → enable,
+ then **Generate** a token and copy it. The bridge is off until you do this, and no
+ socket is opened while it is off.
+
+2. **Register Gullet with your agent.** The settings page renders a ready-made config with
+ your token and port filled in — _Copy config_ and paste it into `.mcp.json` (or
+ `~/.claude.json`), replacing the placeholder path with wherever you cloned this repo:
+
+ ```json
+ {
+ "mcpServers": {
+ "tabglutton": {
+ "command": "bun",
+ "args": ["run", "/path/to/tabglutton/gullet/gullet.ts", "--port", "4588"],
+ "env": { "TABGLUTTON_TOKEN": "" }
+ }
+ }
+ }
+ ```
+
+ For Claude Code specifically:
+
+ ```sh
+ claude mcp add tabglutton --env TABGLUTTON_TOKEN= -- bun run /path/to/tabglutton/gullet/gullet.ts
+ ```
+
+3. **Start a session.** The agent spawns Gullet, Gullet opens the port, and the extension's
+ reconnect loop finds it — typically within a few seconds (it re-probes the port every 3s
+ while the browser's extension page is awake), worst case ~30 seconds (the alarm cadence,
+ when the page had suspended). The toolbar badge shows a terracotta dot while the
+ connection is live. When the session ends, Gullet exits and the extension goes back to
+ idle dialling.
+
+There is no app to launch and no per-session step. Multiple browsers can be connected at
+once — a Zen window and a Chrome profile, say — and each tool call picks one with the
+`browser` argument.
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Flag | Env | Default | Notes |
+| --------- | ------------------ | ------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `--port` | `TABGLUTTON_PORT` | `4588` | Must match the port in Tabglutton's settings. |
+| `--token` | `TABGLUTTON_TOKEN` | — | Required. Prefer the env var: process arguments are readable by other local users. |
+
+Diagnostics go to **stderr**; stdout is the MCP transport and carries nothing else.
+
+## Tools
+
+| Tool | What it does |
+| ------------ | ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `tabs_list` | Metadata for every open tab — id, title, url, `lastAccessed`, `discarded`, `pinned`, `active`, window, and `hidden` on Firefox/Zen. No page content, so it stays cheap across hundreds of tabs. |
+| `tabs_load` | Reloads discarded tabs so they can be read, ≤20 per call, a few at a time. Off by default — see below. |
+| `tab_read` | Extracts one loaded tab as clean markdown via Defuddle. |
+| `tab_clip` | Files a tab into Obsidian exactly as the popup's Devour does. Optionally closes it after. |
+| `tabs_close` | Closes tabs. Records the batch first and returns a `batchId`. |
+| `undo_close` | Reopens a recorded batch. |
+
+Deliberately absent: navigate, click, type, evaluate. The agent can read what you already
+chose to open, file it, and clean up — it cannot act as you. Adding anything richer means
+revisiting the prompt-injection posture in `BRIDGE.md` first.
+
+`tabs_load` is the one tool that acts on a page rather than observing it, so it has its own
+switch — **Agent bridge → "Let agents load unloaded tabs"** in Tabglutton's settings — and
+enabling the bridge does not enable it. Until it is on, the tool answers `not-enabled` with
+that instruction, so an agent can tell you what to flip. Even on, all it does is reload a
+tab you already opened; the URL never comes from the agent.
+
+`tabs_list` with no `browser` argument fans out across every connected browser and tags
+each tab with its origin. The tab-scoped tools refuse to guess between two browsers, since
+tab ids only mean something within one.
+
+## Suggested workflow
+
+Triage on metadata first. In a 300-tab backlog most tabs are discarded (unloaded), and
+`tab_read` cannot reach those. Cutting on title, URL, and age before reading anything is
+what makes triaging that many tabs affordable in tokens — and it also keeps the survivors
+few enough to be worth waking.
+
+Then wake the survivors in batches: one `tabs_load` per 20 tabs, not one per tab. Loads run
+three at a time under a fixed budget per call, so a batch is bounded by the slowest few
+pages rather than by their sum, and each tab comes back `ready`, `pending` (still loading,
+or not reached — ask again), or `failed` (gone, or not an http(s) page). Read the `ready`
+ones. With loading switched off, `tab_read` fails with `tab-discarded` instead and those
+tabs are yours to open by hand.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+**Several agent sessions at once.** Supported, and nothing needs configuring. The first
+Gullet to start binds the port and serves the browser; later ones attach to it and proxy
+through, so every session sees the same tabs. When the one holding the port exits, the
+others re-race and one takes over within a second. You may see more `bun run gullet` processes
+than you have sessions — some MCP clients spawn more than one — which is harmless now that
+losing the race is not fatal.
+
+**"No browser is connected."** The bridge is off in Tabglutton's settings, no token has
+been generated, the ports do not match, or the browser has not re-dialled yet — a first
+call waits up to 45s for the browser's backstop alarm (30s cadence, on Firefox too) to
+fire and the dial to land, so this answer normally means configuration, not timing. The
+settings page shows live connection status.
+
+**Tool calls cancelled by the client.** A first call can legitimately hold for the 45s
+connect wait, and a slow method holds for its own 45s request budget after that — ~90s
+worst case for one tool call. Most MCP clients default to a 60s deadline (the MCP
+TypeScript SDK and Codex both do); give your client at least 100s or a slow-but-healthy
+call surfaces as a bare cancellation instead of an answer. Claude Code: `MCP_TOOL_TIMEOUT`
+(milliseconds). Codex: `tool_timeout_sec` per server — this repo's `.codex/config.toml`
+sets it to 120.
+
+**The browser dials but nothing reaches Gullet.** If the extension's console shows a
+WebSocket close code of **1015** and Gullet logs nothing at all, the extension CSP is
+upgrading `ws://` to `wss://` and Gullet is being handed a TLS ClientHello. `manifest.json`
+must declare `content_security_policy.extension_pages` explicitly — Firefox's MV3 default
+includes `upgrade-insecure-requests`, which does this to loopback WebSockets as well.
+
+**Discovery takes minutes instead of seconds.** If the extension only connects long after
+Gullet started — or not at all — inspect the extension's background console via
+`about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox` → Tabglutton → _Inspect_ (its `[tabglutton]`
+lines do not appear in the Browser Console). `bridge dial timed out after 120000ms`
+repeating against a Gullet that answers `curl` instantly means the browser itself cannot
+complete a loopback WebSocket: verified live in a ~1,050-tab Zen where dials sat two full
+minutes without a SYN ever reaching the wire, while the Browser Console (Cmd-Shift-J)
+showed Firefox's own Push service failing with
+`PushServiceWebSocket … NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED`. The bridge is not misconfigured
+and no setting fixes it — restart the browser.
+
+**"Token mismatch."** `TABGLUTTON_TOKEN` and the token in Tabglutton's settings differ.
+Regenerating the token in settings invalidates any sidecar still holding the old one.
+
+**"could not listen on 127.0.0.1:4588"** Another Gullet — usually from a second agent
+session — already holds the port. One sidecar can serve several browsers, but two sidecars
+cannot share a port; give the second one a different `--port` and match it in settings.
+
+**Nothing in the logs.** Gullet writes to stderr, which most agent harnesses hide. Run it
+by hand to watch it:
+
+```sh
+TABGLUTTON_TOKEN= bun run gullet/gullet.ts
+```
+
+Then poke the socket directly:
+
+```sh
+bunx wscat -c ws://127.0.0.1:4588 -H 'Origin: moz-extension://test'
+```
+
+You should get a `challenge` frame back. Without the `Origin` header the upgrade is
+refused with 403 — that check is what stops a hostile web page from opening the socket
+from inside your browser.
+
+## Development
+
+```sh
+bun run typecheck:gullet # from the repo root
+bun test # protocol, config, selection, MCP, and a live-socket hub test
+```
+
+The wire contract lives in [`../src/bridge-protocol.ts`](../src/bridge-protocol.ts) and is
+imported by both halves, so extension and sidecar are typechecked against one definition.

Obsidian
+
+
Agent bridge
+
+ Lets a coding agent (Claude Code, Codex, any MCP client) see your open tabs and triage
+ them — read a page, file it into Obsidian, close it, undo the close. Nothing else: no
+ clicking, no typing, and no opening pages you did not open yourself. Runs over a loopback
+ socket that only a local process holding the token below can use.
+
+
+
+
+ Enable the bridge
+
+ While on, Tabglutton looks for a running
+ Gullet
+ sidecar every 30 seconds. When none is running, nothing happens.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Let agents load unloaded tabs
+
+ A tab your browser has unloaded to save memory has no page left to read. With this on,
+ an agent can reload one so it becomes readable — the only thing the bridge ever does
+ to a page rather than with it. It can only reload tabs you already opened,
+ never open a new address, and a few load at a time so a triage run does not undo what
+ unloading saved.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Connection
+ Live status of the socket between this browser and the sidecar.
+
+
+ Off
+
+
+
+
+
+ Access token
+
+ Shared secret proving the sidecar is yours. It is never sent over the socket — both
+ sides prove they know it. Copy it into Gullet's environment; regenerating it
+ disconnects any sidecar still using the old one.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Port
+
+ Loopback port the sidecar listens on. Change it only if something else already uses
+ 4588; Gullet needs the same value via --port.
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+
+ Agent setup
+
+ Add Gullet to your agent's MCP config, then start a session — the badge shows a dot
+ when the connection is live.

+ * counts socket traffic as activity from 116, below our

+ * agent's first call a few seconds of margin — which alarm jitter and the wake

+ *
+ * Two deliberate limits. The loop is best-effort: its timer dies with page
+ * suspension (on either engine), so the alarm remains the guaranteed wake and
+ * the degraded case is exactly the old cadence. And a miss here never counts
+ * toward PROBE_MISSES_BEFORE_DIALLING_BLIND — only ticks from outside the
+ * loop do (the alarm, a page wake, `sync()`, a fast retry), with a counting
+ * tick that lands mid-probe carried over rather than dropped. Blind dials are
+ * failed WebSocket connects, the one thing that *does* feed the reconnect
+ * penalty; inheriting this loop's cadence would fire one every ~12s and
+ * rebuild the very ceiling the probe exists to avoid, so the escape valve
+ * keeps its tick-paced schedule — ~2 minutes when only the alarm is ticking.
+ *
+ * The miss counter is deliberately instance-only, and it must stay that way.
+ * It was made durable once (`storage.session`, so the valve would fire
+ * "reliably" across suspensions) and reverted the same session: with every

+ * failed connects rebuilt a near-ceiling penalty inside ~15 minutes —
+ * observed live as `bridge socket open after 48129ms` against a sidecar
+ * answering HTTP in microseconds. (The same browser was later caught failing
+ * socket creation browser-wide — its own Push service logging
+ * `NS_ERROR_SOCKET_CREATE_FAILED` — so the counter may not own that 48s
+ * alone; see BRIDGE.md. Either way the mechanism stands: blind dials are the
+ * only thing we control that feeds the penalty.) Suspension resetting the
+ * count is not a reliability bug in the valve; it is what keeps blind dials
+ * rare. The valve
+ * still fires where it can help: a page held awake by real use counts to
