feat(ui): add a Browser agents switch to Settings - #406
Merged
Merged
Conversation
The page tools from agent.browserTools could only be turned on in the config file, which needs a server restart. Keep a switch on the server that starts from agent.browserTools, add set-browser-tools for the panel and a browser-tools shared state, and broadcast browser-tools-changed so every connected page registers or unregisters its tools without a reload. The overlay now always asks the server, which lists no tools while the switch is off. Refs #396
Settings gets an accessible switch for the browser agent tools. It reads the server's browser-tools state, follows changes made in other panels, says that the change lasts until the server restarts and what the config starts it at, and shows loading, unsupported and error states with Retry. The axe run now also checks the Settings page. Refs #396
Explain how the Settings switch and agent.browserTools interact: the config sets where the switch starts, and the switch applies to every connected page until the dev server restarts. Refs #396
The committed panel bundle has to match app/, or CI fails on a stale extension/ui. Rebuild it with the Settings switch.

A reload reads the server's current value, so Retry must not reapply a change that failed before it. The docs sentence now names the browser agent tools as its subject.
Keeps the committed bundle in step with the panel change so CI's stale bundle check passes.

What and why
The browser agent tools (WebMCP and
devtoolstooldiscovery, from #398) could only be turned on in the config file. This adds a "Browser agents" switch to the panel's Settings page. The default stays off (#396).How the config and the switch work together:
agent.browserTools(stillfalseby default) sets where the switch starts each time the dev server starts.browser-tools-changedand pages register or unregister their tools.localStorage, because it affects pages and the extension and hub panels live on different addresses.Changes:
set-browser-toolsaction (accepts only{enabled: boolean}), abrowser-toolsshared state, and the page listening for the change.list-browser-toolsandcall-browser-toolnow read the switch instead of the startup config. Registered inSHARED_RPCandSHARED_STATE_KEYS.browser-tools-settingsection: a native checkbox withrole="switch", a label and hints, states for connecting, a static report, an older server and errors, and a polite live region. It follows changes made in other panels.test:axenow also checks the Settings view.How it was verified
