target first remote browser when not giving it with a alias and update version to 0.8.4

Exposes a local browser over a TCP socket so remote machines can
  control it using the same CLI and Python API. Token auth (auto-generated
  via secrets.token_urlsafe) is on by default; --no-auth disables it.
  Profile routing via _route message field lets clients target specific
  browser instances on the remote host. BROWSER_CLI_PROFILE is forwarded
  automatically so --browser flag works transparently over remote.
  - browser-cli serve [--host] [--port] [--token] [--no-auth]
  - browser-cli --remote HOST:PORT --token TOKEN <command>
  - BrowserCLI(remote="host:port", token="...").tabs_list()

 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.

 ## Limitations
 
-- **Chrome internal pages** (`chrome://`, `brave://`, `about:`) cannot be scripted. DOM and extract commands only work on regular `http://` and `https://` pages.
+- **Browser internal pages** (`chrome://`, `brave://`, `edge://`, `about:`) cannot be scripted. DOM and extract commands only work on regular `http://` and `https://` pages.
 - **Multiple browser instances can be auto-distinguished, but generated aliases are temporary**. Unaliased browsers get UUID aliases from the native host, which avoids collisions but is less ergonomic than setting a stable alias with `browser-cli clients rename --browser <current-alias> <new-alias>`.
 - **Supported install targets are explicit, not “all Chromium browsers”**. The installer currently supports Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge, and Vivaldi. Other Chromium-based browsers may use different or shared native messaging manifest locations, so they need browser-specific verification before being added safely.
 - **Linux and macOS only** — Windows native messaging paths are not yet handled.
