Endpoint resolution consults remembered remotes, so tests that assert the
bare-domain :443 default failed on any machine with an explicit-port remote
remembered for the same host, while passing in CI. That made a real behavior
difference look like a local-only flake.
Isolate the registry for the whole suite instead of patching the two affected
tests, since any test touching endpoint resolution has the same hidden
dependency. Tests that need remembered entries still override the path.
Also replace the hardcoded personal remote host with a documentation domain.
- Render explicit --remote clients results with profile-only labels.
- Suppress remote host group headers for scoped client queries.
- Keep global and mixed client listings grouped by host.
- Update client and CLI tests for scoped remote rendering.
- Bump browser-cli and extension versions to 0.16.5.
- Add SSH-style server identity keys and known-host verification for remote serve endpoints.
- Add remote add/list/remove commands for explicit endpoint persistence.
- Fix remote clients listing to fan out through target discovery instead of ambiguous auto-routing.
- Add URL glob matching for tabs filter and count with extension tests.
- Add n8n credential pinning for server public keys or SHA256 fingerprints.
- Remove obsolete compat shim behavior while keeping empty compat seams for future protocol changes.
- Bump browser-cli to 0.16.4 and n8n node to 0.3.1.
- Cover known-hosts, remote registry, compat seams, n8n protocol verification, and URL matching with tests.
- Add the n8n community node package with credentials, command mapping, direct serve TCP client, and browser-cli protocol crypto helpers.
- Cover Ed25519 signing, canonical JSON, PQ transport encryption, request mapping, and security behavior with unit tests.
- Harden serve-http with per-address rate limiting, an 8 MB request body cap, and clear warnings when binding plain HTTP beyond loopback.
- Stop one-shot --key overrides from being persisted automatically; document explicit remote trust and keep key-management behind the keys policy tier.
- Make HTML-to-Markdown conversion safer by bounding tree depth and dropping unsafe link/image URL schemes.
- Bump package and extension release metadata to 0.16.3.
- Gate TCP serve commands with safe-by-default policies, per-key allow tokens, per-key rate limiting, and audit labels.
- Reuse authenticated encrypted remote sessions and parallelize/caches multi-browser fanout to reduce repeated handshake roundtrips.
- Increase paged native-host batch size with extension-side byte budgeting to speed large tab listings safely.
- Point install output at public Chrome Web Store / Firefox AMO listings by default, with --dev preserving unpacked workflows.
- Share search-engine metadata between CLI and SDK and bump the package/extension version to 0.16.0.
- Cover the new security, pooling, paging, install, and fanout behavior with expanded Python and extension tests.
- Allow remote host aliases passed via --browser to fan out for read-only
multi-browser SDK paths while preserving strict routing for mutating commands.
- Add remote host grouping and scoped profile labels to tabs tree output so
global views avoid repeated host prefixes.
- Carry browser family metadata through remote targets, tabs, and groups and
style tree browser labels by family.
- Split CLI rendering helpers into a typed rendering package with dedicated
common, label, tabs-tree, and windows-tree modules.
- Bump browser-cli and extension versions to 0.15.5.
- Cover the new routing and rendering behavior with unit and CLI tests.
- Respect the globally selected browser when renaming client aliases.
- Pass the resolved local profile into sync and async local transports so
BROWSER_CLI_PROFILE is honored consistently.
- Stop tabs.active from explicitly focusing the OS browser window, avoiding
virtual-desktop jumps during tab activation.
- Make window merging skip audible, unmuted windows so video playback windows
are not selected as merge targets.
- Bump the Python package and extension manifest versions to 0.12.2.
- Add regression coverage for browser selection and focus-stealing behavior.
- Split client, native, remote, serve, markdown, and SDK internals into focused packages with direct imports.
- Move local and remote transport framing/protocol helpers behind clearer module boundaries.
- Break up the extension injected DOM logic into a separate content dispatch bundle and dedicated content modules.
- Add explicit client handling for passive remote discovery without noisy PQ warnings.
- Keep behavior covered with updated unit, integration, and extension tests.
- Check Unix socket reachability with a real connection attempt instead of treating any existing path as active.
- Report ambiguous host-only remote aliases with actionable --remote/--browser examples.
- Update client tests to use listening Unix sockets and cover ambiguous remote alias errors.
- Bump package and extension versions to 0.10.2.
- Avoid resolving a saved remote alias when the requested profile is currently reachable as a local endpoint.
- Add a helper that checks the registry and local socket path before remote alias discovery.
- Cover the routing precedence with a client unit test.
- Bump package and extension versions to 0.10.1.
- Domain-like --remote endpoints default to port 443; :443 is optional
- _normalize_endpoint strips :443 before storage in remotes.json
- _load_remotes normalises keys on load (backward compat migration)
- _remote_display_name omits :443 for domain endpoints
- _resolve_connect_endpoint adds :443 back for TCP connection

- remote_browser_targets(), _auto_route_remote(), active_browser_targets()
now accept and forward the key parameter so pubkey auth works during
the initial browser-cli.targets discovery call
- _multi_browser_targets() in tabs/groups/windows/session commands now
reads key from ctx.obj and passes it through
- send_command() auto-saves the key spec (e.g. "agent") to remotes.json
on first explicit use; subsequent calls to the same remote reuse it
without requiring --key every time
- Added save_remote_key() / key_for_remote() helpers (mirrors token helpers)

Security:
- serve.py: server now sends nonce challenge before accepting any command;
clients sign nonce + SHA256(canonical_payload) with Ed25519 key
- New --authorized-keys FILE option for serve; token auth still works as fallback
- Connection limit: BoundedSemaphore(64) in serve.py
- Secure file creation with os.open(..., 0o600) for token/key files
- New auth.py module: keygen, file key load/save, SSH agent protocol (pure Python),
sign/verify helpers compatible with both file keys and agent-held keys (YubiKey,
TPM, gpg-agent)
Features:
- YubiKey support via SSH agent protocol — no new runtime deps, just $SSH_AUTH_SOCK
- New `browser-cli auth` command group: keygen, trust, show, keys
- Global --key PATH flag (or BROWSER_CLI_KEY env) selects signing key;
pass "agent" or "agent:<selector>" to use SSH agent key
- BrowserCLI Python API gains key= parameter
Bug fixes (11 issues across two review passes):
- client.py: check response is not None before json.loads
- native_host.py: _read_exact_stream loop handles EINTR short reads; fix Windows
Listener leak on accept error
- __init__.py: open_wait / tabs_watch_url raise RuntimeError instead of silent None
- extension/tabs.ts: dedupe skips tabs without URL; tabsSort uses pendingUrl fallback
- extension/session.ts: removeListener before addListener prevents duplicate handlers
Breaking: TCP serve protocol now sends a challenge frame first (v0.9.0)
