- 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.
- Add browser source grouping metadata to SDK-created tabs, groups,
list results, and aggregate count results.
- Render grouped local/remote browser tables consistently for clients,
tabs, groups, windows, sessions, and remote status output.
- Document remote control, auth, HTTP gateway usage, and the refreshed
project structure in the README.
- Add coverage for grouped output and BrowserCounts browser_groups.
- Bump the Python package, extension manifest, and lockfile to 0.15.6.
- Add a just publish helper for building and publishing release artifacts.
- 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.
- Add shared rendering helpers for width-aware tree labels, truncation, and no-wrap Rich text.
- Preserve tab index and group window metadata through the extension and SDK factories.
- Render tab trees in browser/window/index order with grouped tab details and optional shortened URLs.
- Reuse the tab tree labels in window trees to keep output compact and consistent.
- Cover legacy missing-index responses, grouped/collapsed tabs, URL display, and rendering helpers with tests.
- 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()).
- Position browser-cli as a CLI plus Python SDK in docs and package metadata.
- Add public target properties and a raw command escape hatch for unsupported commands.
- Add convenience helpers for opening, finding, closing, and accessing tabs.
- Add plural group aliases and a wait_for_selector DOM convenience alias.
- Extend bound Tab objects with screenshot, pin, refresh, load wait, and URL watch helpers.
- Preserve remote auth key configuration when binding remote Tab and Group objects.
- Bump project and extension versions to 0.9.9 and cover SDK additions with tests.
