- 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.
Restructure the Python API and internals around composable namespaces and
a standalone transport/endpoint layer. Bump to 0.12.0.
Python API:
- Replace flat methods (b.tabs_list(), b.group_list()) with namespaces:
b.nav, b.tabs, b.groups, b.windows, b.dom, b.extract, b.page, b.storage,
b.cookies, b.session, b.perf, b.extension.
- Shrink browser_cli/__init__.py to a thin composition root; move all
behaviour into browser_cli/sdk/ (one module per namespace + factories,
base, routing).
Internals:
- Add browser_cli/transport.py and remote_transport.py to isolate IPC from
command logic; client.py now delegates instead of owning transport.
- Add browser_cli/endpoints.py for endpoint resolution and
browser_cli/errors.py for shared error types.
- Extract markdown rendering into browser_cli/markdown.py (out of extract).
- Add USER_AGENT to version_manager.
Tooling & tests:
- Add justfile with common dev tasks.
- Update CLI commands and demo to the namespaced API.
- Rework tests for the new layout; add test_transport.py and
test_refactor_boundaries.py to lock in module boundaries.
BREAKING CHANGE: flat API methods are removed in favour of namespaces
(e.g. b.tabs_list() -> b.tabs.list(), b.group_list() -> b.groups.list()).
- compat.py → compat/ package: auth.py (auth-field normalizers),
commands.py (command-format shims), __init__.py (re-exports)
- Add _auth_0_9_3 transformer: normalizes pubkey to lowercase before auth
so clients < 0.9.3 sending uppercase hex are accepted
- adapt_auth() now called before auth check in serve.py; command extracted
after adapt_auth so future transformers can rename commands safely
- serve.py: deduplicate _recv_exact (import from client), unify
resp/resp_payload across Windows/Unix branches, require lowercase hex
pubkey (re.fullmatch), reorganize imports, drop unused os import
- client.py: move payload/framed construction inside branches (remote path
no longer serializes JSON it never uses); fix _is_valid_key_spec
operator precedence; import MAX_MSG_BYTES from version_manager
- auth.py: narrow except clause (ValueError instead of bare Exception)
- Bump version 0.9.2 → 0.9.3

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)
