+If exactly one browser instance is connected, commands auto-target it. Use `--browser ALIAS` when multiple browser instances are connected. You can inspect the active instances with `browser-cli clients` and assign a persistent profile alias from inside the target browser with `browser-cli rename-profile --browser <current-alias> <new-alias>`.

 Important: profile aliases are browser-instance aliases, not window aliases. Window aliases created with `windows rename` are only for targeting windows in commands like `nav open --window work`. If a browser instance has no explicit profile alias set, the native host gives it a generated UUID alias so multiple unaliased browsers stay distinct.
