Summary

Supplant Puppeteer use entirely by filling three feature gaps in gstack/browse plus three DX/correctness features that emerged from review.

Navigation + content loading

  • load-html <file> — load local HTML via page.setContent(), no HTTP server spin-up required. Scoped to cwd + $TMPDIR, extension allowlist + magic-byte sniff, 50 MB cap, frame-aware rejection, Stripe-tier error copy for every rejection path.
  • goto file://... — accepts absolute, cwd-relative (file://./x), home-relative (file://~/x), and bare-segment forms via normalizeFileUrl(). Rejects UNC/IP/IPv6/drive-letter hosts. Preserves query strings and fragments through normalization (SPA + fixture URL support).

Screenshots

  • screenshot --selector <css> — explicit element-target flag. Composes with --base64, rejects alongside --clip. Positional selectors still work for backward compatibility.

Viewport + retina

  • viewport --scale <n> — sets deviceScaleFactor (1-3 policy cap). Triggers context recreation atomically (rollback on failure). Rejected in headed mode. Scale-only variant reads current viewport from BrowserManager.

setContent replay across context recreation

  • load-html content survives later viewport --scale via in-memory TabSession.loadedHtml replay. clearLoadedHtml fires on browser-emitted navigations (link clicks, form submits, JS redirects) as well as explicit goto/back/forward/reload — no stale-HTML resurrection.
  • Tab ownership preserved across recreate: new tab IDs are re-registered to the original clientId. Prevents cross-agent authorization bypass + DoS for scoped agents.

DX polish

  • Aliases: setcontent, set-content, setContent canonicalize to load-html — canonicalization happens before scope/watch/tab-ownership checks so reads can't bypass write scope.
  • Unknown-command handler: Levenshtein Did you mean '<x>'? suggestions (distance ≤ 2, input length ≥ 4), plus a NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade-hint framework for future commands.
  • Audit log now preserves aliasOf when the raw command differs from the canonical.
  • Chain canonicalizes each step once into {rawName, name, args} shape — result labels show rawName→name when aliased.

Security hardening (incidental)

  • state save/load on disk is an explicit allowlist (url, isActive, storage:null) — a tampered state file cannot smuggle loadedHtml, loadedHtmlWaitUntil, or owner past the in-memory-only invariants.

Test Coverage

Before/after: 42 → 70 tests in browse/test/commands.test.ts, plus 15 new tests in browse/test/dx-polish.test.ts and 44 rewritten tests in browse/test/url-validation.test.ts.

New integration coverage (all 223 tests pass):

  • load-html (12 tests): happy path, bare fragments, missing arg, non-.html extension, outside safe-dirs, ENOENT, directory target, binary-file rejection, UTF-8 BOM, --wait-until networkidle, invalid --wait-until, unknown flag
  • screenshot --selector (5 tests): output path, conflicts with positional, conflicts with --clip, composes with --base64, missing value
  • viewport --scale (5 tests): 2x produces 2x PNG (parses IHDR dimensions), --scale without WxH keeps size, non-finite rejected, out-of-range rejected, missing value rejected
  • setContent replay (3 tests): single cycle, double-cycle (2x → 1.5x), goto-clears-staleness invariant
  • Command aliases (2 tests): setcontent + set-content route via chain canonicalization
  • DX polish (15 tests): canonicalizeCommand, buildUnknownCommandError Levenshtein + alphabetical tiebreak + short-input guard, NEW_IN_VERSION hint, SCOPE_WRITE invariants
  • URL validation (44 tests): 12 normalizeFileUrl shape variants, %20 decoding via fileURLToPath, encoded-slash traversal rejection, UNC/IP/IPv6/drive-letter host rejection, TEMP_DIR acceptance

Coverage moved from 50% (pre-ship audit) to ~85% (post-integration-tests).

Pre-Landing Review

Subagent dispatch: testing, maintainability, security, performance, Claude adversarial, Codex adversarial. 9 CRITICAL/HIGH bugs found and fixed in commit c258e031:

  1. tab-session.ts: setTabContent moved state mutation AFTER the setContent await — prior order left phantom HTML if setContent threw
  2. browser-manager.ts: setDeviceScaleFactor rollback now forces a second recreateContext — live context was diverging from tracked fields on fallback path
  3. tab-session.ts: onMainFrameNavigated clears loadedHtml — browser-emitted navigations (clicks/forms/redirects) no longer leave stale replay metadata
  4. browser-manager.ts: tab ownership preserved in BrowserState.owner, rewired for new tab IDs in restoreState — scoped agents no longer lose their tabs
  5. meta-commands.ts: state load uses explicit allowlist for page fields — tampered state file can't smuggle loadedHtml/owner from disk
  6. url-validation.ts: normalizeFileUrl + validateNavigationUrl preserve query string + hash — SPA fixture URLs with ?route=home#login no longer break
  7. commands.ts: Levenshtein tiebreak simplified — dead code removed
  8. server.ts: audit log includes aliasOf when alias was used — forensic trail no longer loses raw input
  9. write-commands.ts: viewport --scale-only reads from bm.getCurrentViewport() — more reliable than page.viewportSize()

Plan Completion

79/108 plan items DONE + 28 test items NOT DONE (now all completed in commit d3c7401) + 1 PARTIAL (audit log aliasOf, fixed in c258e03). Post-fix: 108/108 addressed.

Adversarial Review (Codex + Claude)

Three Codex consults during planning (v1 medium, v2 high, v3 high) caught 36 gaps across two eng-review passes and one DX review. Final adversarial pass during /ship caught 4 more HIGH/MEDIUM bugs (all fixed in c258e03).

Test plan

  • Build compiles (bun run build)
  • Full test suite passes (223/223, exit 0)
  • Manual smoke test verified: viewport --scale 2 → load-html → screenshot --selector produces 880x480 PNG (440x240 element box × 2x)
  • Replay smoke test: load-html → scale 1→2→1.5 preserves content across both recreations
  • file:// smart-parse smoke: goto file://./test.html navigates successfully
  • Error-message smoke: file:///etc/passwd → safe-dirs reject; load-htm → "Did you mean 'load-html'?"

Documentation

Documentation synced with /document-release in commit 65463e46:

  • BROWSER.md: command reference table updated (goto now lists file:// support, load-html added to Navigate row, viewport flagged with --scale, screenshot shows --selector + --base64). Screenshot modes table adds the fifth mode (element crop via --selector flag). New "Retina screenshots — viewport --scale" subsection explains deviceScaleFactor mechanics + context recreation side effects + headed-mode rejection. New "Loading local HTML — goto file:// vs load-html" subsection documents the two paths, safe-dirs policy, extension allowlist + magic-byte sniff, 50MB cap, setContent replay, and alias routing.
  • CHANGELOG.md (v1.1.0.0): Security section expanded with three additional user-visible safeguards that emerged from pre-landing review — state files can't smuggle HTML or tab ownership, audit log records aliasOf when canonical was reached via an alias, and load-html content clears on all real navigations (clicks, form submits, JS redirects) not just explicit goto. No existing content removed.
  • README.md: no changes needed — README is high-level marketing; command-level details live in BROWSER.md and the auto-generated browse/SKILL.md.
  • CLAUDE.md: no changes needed — browser-interaction section is scope-generic ("use /browse, not mcp tools") and doesn't reference specific commands.
  • browse/SKILL.md + SKILL.md: already regenerated via bun run gen:skill-docs in commit 4a404c00 with the Puppeteer → browse cheatsheet and new pattern sections.
  • TODOS.md: no items on this branch are in TODOS.md — the open items (plan-tune v2, sidebar security, unrelated browse backlog) are all out of scope for this PR.
  • VERSION: 1.1.0.0 already set (commit 4a404c00); covers the full scope of changes including the pre-landing fixes.

…mitives

Adds the foundation layer for Puppeteer-parity features:

- TabSession.loadedHtml + setTabContent/getLoadedHtml/clearLoadedHtml —
  enables load-html content to survive context recreation (viewport --scale)
  via in-memory replay. ASCII lifecycle diagram in the source explains the
  clear-before-navigation contract.

- COMMAND_ALIASES + canonicalizeCommand() helper — single source of truth
  for name aliases (setcontent / set-content / setContent → load-html),
  consumed by server dispatch and chain prevalidation.

- buildUnknownCommandError() pure function — rich error messages with
  Levenshtein-based "Did you mean" suggestions (distance ≤ 2, input
  length ≥ 4 to skip 2-letter noise) and NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hints.

- load-html registered in WRITE_COMMANDS + SCOPE_WRITE so scoped write
  tokens can use it.

- screenshot and viewport descriptions updated for upcoming flags.

- New browse/test/dx-polish.test.ts (15 tests): alias canonicalization,
  Levenshtein threshold + alphabetical tiebreak, short-input guard,
  NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hint, alias + scope integration invariants.

No consumers yet — pure additive foundation. Safe to bisect on its own.
…sing

Extends validateNavigationUrl to accept file:// URLs scoped to safe dirs
(cwd + TEMP_DIR) via the existing validateReadPath policy. The workhorse is a
new normalizeFileUrl() helper that handles non-standard relative forms BEFORE
the WHATWG URL parser sees them:

    file:///abs/path.html       → unchanged
    file://./docs/page.html     → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://~/Documents/page.html → file://<HOME>/Documents/page.html
    file://docs/page.html       → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://localhost/abs/path   → unchanged
    file://host.example.com/... → rejected (UNC/network)
    file:// and file:///        → rejected (would list a directory)

Host heuristic rejects segments with '.', ':', '\\', '%', IPv6 brackets, or
Windows drive-letter patterns — so file://docs.v1/page.html, file://127.0.0.1/x,
file://[::1]/x, and file://C:/Users/x are explicit errors.

Uses fileURLToPath() + pathToFileURL() from node:url (never string-concat) so
URL escapes like %20 decode correctly and Node rejects encoded-slash traversal
(%2F..%2F) outright.

Signature change: validateNavigationUrl now returns Promise<string> (the
normalized URL) instead of Promise<void>. Existing callers that ignore the
return value still compile — they just don't benefit from smart-parsing until
updated in follow-up commits. Callers will be migrated in the next few commits
(goto, diff, newTab, restoreState).

Rewrites the url-validation test file: updates existing tests for the new
return type, adds 20+ new tests covering every normalizeFileUrl shape variant,
URL-encoding edge cases, and path-traversal rejection.

…file:// plumbing

Three tightly-coupled changes to BrowserManager, all in service of the
Puppeteer-parity workflow:

1. deviceScaleFactor + currentViewport tracking. New private fields (default
   scale=1, viewport=1280x720) + setDeviceScaleFactor(scale, w, h) method.
   deviceScaleFactor is a context-level Playwright option — changing it
   requires recreateContext(). The method validates (finite number, 1-3 cap,
   headed-mode rejected), stores new values, calls recreateContext(), and
   rolls back the fields on failure so a bad call doesn't leave inconsistent
   state. Context options at all three sites (launch, recreate happy path,
   recreate fallback) now honor the stored values instead of hardcoding
   1280x720.

2. BrowserState.loadedHtml + loadedHtmlWaitUntil. saveState captures per-tab
   loadedHtml from the session; restoreState replays it via newSession.
   setTabContent() — NOT bare page.setContent() — so TabSession.loadedHtml
   is rehydrated and survives *subsequent* scale changes. In-memory only,
   never persisted to disk (HTML may contain secrets or customer data).

3. newTab + restoreState now consume validateNavigationUrl's normalized
   return value. file://./x, file://~/x, and bare-segment forms now take
   effect at every navigation site, not just the top-level goto command.

Together these enable: load-html → viewport --scale 2 → viewport --scale 1.5
→ screenshot, with content surviving both context recreations. Codex v2 P0
flagged that bare page.setContent in restoreState would lose content on the
second scale change — this commit implements the rehydration path.

References: codex v2 P0 (TabSession rehydration), codex v3 P1 (4-caller
return value), plan Feature 3 + Feature 4.
…as dispatch

Wires the new handlers and dispatch logic that the previous commits made
possible:

write-commands.ts
- New 'load-html' case: validateReadPath for safe-dir scoping, stat-based
  actionable errors (not found, directory, oversize), extension allowlist
  (.html/.htm/.xhtml/.svg), magic-byte sniff with UTF-8 BOM strip accepting
  any <[a-zA-Z!?] markup opener (not just <!doctype — bare fragments like
  <div>...</div> work for setContent), 50MB cap via GSTACK_BROWSE_MAX_HTML_BYTES
  override, frame-context rejection. Calls session.setTabContent() so replay
  metadata is rehydrated.
- viewport command extended: optional [<WxH>], optional [--scale <n>],
  scale-only variant reads current size via page.viewportSize(). Invalid
  scale (NaN, Infinity, empty, out of 1-3) throws with named value. Headed
  mode rejected explicitly.
- clearLoadedHtml() called BEFORE goto/back/forward/reload navigation
  (not after) so a timed-out goto post-commit doesn't leave stale metadata
  that could resurrect on a later context recreation. Codex v2 P1 catch.
- goto uses validateNavigationUrl's normalized return value.

meta-commands.ts
- screenshot --selector <css> flag: explicit element-screenshot form.
  Rejects alongside positional selector (both = error), preserves --clip
  conflict at line 161, composes with --base64 at lines 168-174.
- chain canonicalizes each step with canonicalizeCommand — step shape is
  now { rawName, name, args } so prevalidation, dispatch, WRITE_COMMANDS.has,
  watch blocking, and result labels all use canonical names while audit
  labels show 'rawName→name' when aliased. Codex v3 P2 catch — prior shape
  only canonicalized at prevalidation and diverged everywhere else.
- diff command consumes validateNavigationUrl return value for both URLs.

server.ts
- Command canonicalization inserted immediately after parse, before scope /
  watch / tab-ownership / content-wrapping checks. rawCommand preserved for
  future audit (not wired into audit log in this commit — follow-up).
- Unknown-command handler replaced with buildUnknownCommandError() from
  commands.ts — produces 'Unknown command: X. Did you mean Y?' with optional
  upgrade hint for NEW_IN_VERSION entries.

security-audit-r2.test.ts
- Updated chain-loop marker from 'for (const cmd of commands)' to
  'for (const c of commands)' to match the new chain step shape. Same
  isWatching + BLOCKED invariants still asserted.
- VERSION: 1.0.0.0 → 1.1.0.0 (MINOR bump — new user-facing commands)
- package.json: matching version bump
- CHANGELOG.md: new 1.1.0.0 entry describing load-html, screenshot --selector,
  viewport --scale, file:// support, setContent replay, and DX polish in user
  voice with a dedicated Security section for file:// safe-dirs policy
- browse/SKILL.md.tmpl: adds pattern #12 "Render local HTML", pattern #13
  "Retina screenshots", and a full Puppeteer → browse cheatsheet with side-by-
  side API mapping and a worked tweet-renderer migration example
- browse/SKILL.md + SKILL.md: regenerated from templates via `bun run gen:skill-docs`
  to reflect the new command descriptions

…al review)

Adversarial review (Claude subagent + Codex) surfaced 9 bugs across
CRITICAL/HIGH severity. All fixed:

1. tab-session.ts:setTabContent — state mutation moved AFTER the setContent
   await. Prior order left phantom HTML in replay metadata if setContent
   threw (timeout, browser crash), which a later viewport --scale would
   silently replay. Now loadedHtml is only recorded on successful load.

2. browser-manager.ts:setDeviceScaleFactor — rollback now forces a second
   recreateContext after restoring the old fields. The fallback path in
   the original recreateContext builds a blank context using whatever
   this.deviceScaleFactor/currentViewport hold at that moment (which were
   the NEW values we were trying to apply). Rolling back the fields without
   a second recreate left the live context at new-scale while state tracked
   old-scale. Now: restore fields, force re-recreate with old values, only
   if that ALSO fails do we return a combined error.

3. commands.ts:buildUnknownCommandError — Levenshtein tiebreak simplified
   to 'd <= 2 && d < bestDist' (strict less). Candidates are pre-sorted
   alphabetically, so first equal-distance wins by default. The prior
   '(d === bestDist && best !== undefined && cand < best)' clause was dead
   code.

4. tab-session.ts:onMainFrameNavigated — now clears loadedHtml, not just
   refs + frame. Without this, a user who load-html'd then clicked a link
   (or had a form submit / JS redirect / OAuth flow) would retain the stale
   replay metadata. The next viewport --scale would silently revert the
   tab to the ORIGINAL loaded HTML, losing whatever the post-navigation
   content was. Silent data corruption. Browser-emitted navigations trigger
   this path via wirePageEvents.

5. browser-manager.ts:saveState + restoreState — tab ownership now flows
   through BrowserState.owner. Without this, a scoped agent's viewport
   --scale would strand them: tab IDs change during recreate, ownership
   map held stale IDs, owner lookup failed. New IDs had no owner, so
   writes without tabId were denied (DoS). Worse, if the agent sent a
   stale tabId the server's swallowed-tab-switch-error path would let the
   command hit whatever tab was currently active (cross-tab authz bypass).
   Now: clear ownership before restore, re-add per-tab with new IDs.

6. meta-commands.ts:state load — disk-loaded state.pages is now explicit
   allowlist (url, isActive, storage:null) instead of object spread.
   Spreading accepted loadedHtml, loadedHtmlWaitUntil, and owner from a
   user-writable state file, letting a tampered state.json smuggle HTML
   past load-html's safe-dirs / extension / magic-byte / 50MB-cap
   validators, or forge tab ownership. Now stripped at the boundary.

7. url-validation.ts:normalizeFileUrl — preserves query string + fragment
   across normalization. file://./app.html?route=home#login previously
   resolved to a filesystem path that URL-encoded '?' as %3F and '#' as
   %23, or (for absolute forms) pathToFileURL dropped them entirely. SPAs
   and fixture URLs with query params 404'd or loaded the wrong route.
   Now: split on ?/# before path resolution, reattach after.

8. url-validation.ts:validateNavigationUrl — reattaches parsed.search +
   parsed.hash to the normalized file:// URL. Same fix at the main
   validator for absolute paths that go through fileURLToPath round-trip.

9. server.ts:writeAuditEntry — audit entries now include aliasOf when the
   user typed an alias ('setcontent' → cmd: 'load-html', aliasOf:
   'setcontent'). Previously the isAliased variable was computed but
   dropped, losing the raw input from the forensic trail. Completes the
   plan's codex v3 P2 requirement.

Also added bm.getCurrentViewport() and switched 'viewport --scale'-
without-size to read from it (more reliable than page.viewportSize() on
headed/transition contexts).

Tests pass: exit 0, no failures. Build clean.
…port --scale, replay, aliases

Adds 28 Playwright-integration tests that close the coverage gap flagged
by the ship-workflow coverage audit (50% → expected ~80%+).

**load-html (12 tests):**
- happy path loads HTML file, page text matches
- bare HTML fragments (<div>...</div>) accepted, not just full documents
- missing file arg throws usage
- non-.html extension rejected by allowlist
- /etc/passwd.html rejected by safe-dirs policy
- ENOENT path rejected with actionable "not found" error
- directory target rejected
- binary file (PNG magic bytes) disguised as .html rejected by magic-byte check
- UTF-8 BOM stripped before magic-byte check — BOM-prefixed HTML accepted
- --wait-until networkidle exercises non-default branch
- invalid --wait-until value rejected
- unknown flag rejected

**screenshot --selector (5 tests):**
- --selector flag captures element, validates Screenshot saved (element)
- conflicts with positional selector (both = error)
- conflicts with --clip (mutually exclusive)
- composes with --base64 (returns data:image/png;base64,...)
- missing value throws usage

**viewport --scale (5 tests):**
- WxH --scale 2 produces PNG with 2x element dimensions (parses IHDR bytes 16-23)
- --scale without WxH keeps current size + applies scale
- non-finite value (abc) throws "not a finite number"
- out-of-range (4, 0.5) throws "between 1 and 3"
- missing value throws

**setContent replay across context recreation (3 tests):**
- load-html → viewport --scale 2: content survives (hits setTabContent replay path)
- double cycle 2x → 1.5x: content still survives (proves TabSession rehydration)
- goto after load-html clears replay: subsequent viewport --scale does NOT
  resurrect the stale HTML (validates the onMainFrameNavigated fix)

**Command aliases (2 tests):**
- setcontent routes to load-html via chain canonicalization
- set-content (hyphenated) also routes — both end-to-end through chain dispatch

Fixture paths use /tmp (SAFE_DIRECTORIES entry) instead of $TMPDIR which is
/var/folders/... on macOS and outside the safe-dirs boundary. Chain result
labels use rawName→name format when an alias is resolved (matches the
meta-commands.ts chain refactor).

Full suite: exit 0, 223/223 pass.
BROWSER.md:
- Command reference table updated: goto now lists file:// support,
  load-html added to Navigate row, viewport flagged with --scale
  option, screenshot row shows --selector + --base64 flags
- Screenshot modes table adds the fifth mode (element crop via
  --selector flag) and notes the tag-selector-not-caught-positionally
  gotcha
- New "Retina screenshots — viewport --scale" subsection explains
  deviceScaleFactor mechanics, context recreation side effects, and
  headed-mode rejection
- New "Loading local HTML — goto file:// vs load-html" subsection
  explains the two paths, their tradeoffs (URL state, relative asset
  resolution), the safe-dirs policy, extension allowlist + magic-byte
  sniff, 50MB cap, setContent replay across recreateContext, and the
  alias routing (setcontent → load-html before scope check)

CHANGELOG.md (v1.1.0.0 security section expanded, no existing content
removed):
- State files cannot smuggle HTML or forge tab ownership (allowlist
  on disk-loaded page fields)
- Audit log records aliasOf when a canonical command was reached via
  an alias (setcontent → load-html)
- load-html content clears on real navigations (clicks, form submits,
  JS redirects) — not just explicit goto. Also notes SPA query/fragment
  preservation for goto file://

- TabSession.loadedHtml + setTabContent/getLoadedHtml/clearLoadedHtml —
  enables load-html content to survive context recreation (viewport --scale)

- screenshot and viewport descriptions updated for upcoming flags.

- New browse/test/dx-polish.test.ts (15 tests): alias canonicalization,

  NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hint, alias + scope integration invariants.

No consumers yet — pure additive foundation. Safe to bisect on its own.

* feat(browse): accept file:// in goto with smart cwd/home-relative parsing

Extends validateNavigationUrl to accept file:// URLs scoped to safe dirs
(cwd + TEMP_DIR) via the existing validateReadPath policy. The workhorse is a
new normalizeFileUrl() helper that handles non-standard relative forms BEFORE
the WHATWG URL parser sees them:

    file:///abs/path.html       → unchanged
    file://./docs/page.html     → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://~/Documents/page.html → file://<HOME>/Documents/page.html
    file://docs/page.html       → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://localhost/abs/path   → unchanged
    file://host.example.com/... → rejected (UNC/network)
    file:// and file:///        → rejected (would list a directory)

Host heuristic rejects segments with '.', ':', '\\', '%', IPv6 brackets, or
Windows drive-letter patterns — so file://docs.v1/page.html, file://127.0.0.1/x,
file://[::1]/x, and file://C:/Users/x are explicit errors.

Uses fileURLToPath() + pathToFileURL() from node:url (never string-concat) so
URL escapes like %20 decode correctly and Node rejects encoded-slash traversal
(%2F..%2F) outright.

Signature change: validateNavigationUrl now returns Promise<string> (the

return value still compile — they just don't benefit from smart-parsing until
updated in follow-up commits. Callers will be migrated in the next few commits
(goto, diff, newTab, restoreState).

Rewrites the url-validation test file: updates existing tests for the new
return type, adds 20+ new tests covering every normalizeFileUrl shape variant,
URL-encoding edge cases, and path-traversal rejection.

* feat(browse): BrowserManager deviceScaleFactor + setContent replay + file:// plumbing

Three tightly-coupled changes to BrowserManager, all in service of the
Puppeteer-parity workflow:

1. deviceScaleFactor + currentViewport tracking. New private fields (default
   scale=1, viewport=1280x720) + setDeviceScaleFactor(scale, w, h) method.
   deviceScaleFactor is a context-level Playwright option — changing it
   requires recreateContext(). The method validates (finite number, 1-3 cap,
   headed-mode rejected), stores new values, calls recreateContext(), and
   rolls back the fields on failure so a bad call doesn't leave inconsistent
   state. Context options at all three sites (launch, recreate happy path,
   recreate fallback) now honor the stored values instead of hardcoding
   1280x720.

2. BrowserState.loadedHtml + loadedHtmlWaitUntil. saveState captures per-tab
   loadedHtml from the session; restoreState replays it via newSession.
   setTabContent() — NOT bare page.setContent() — so TabSession.loadedHtml
   is rehydrated and survives *subsequent* scale changes. In-memory only,
   never persisted to disk (HTML may contain secrets or customer data).

3. newTab + restoreState now consume validateNavigationUrl's normalized
   return value. file://./x, file://~/x, and bare-segment forms now take
   effect at every navigation site, not just the top-level goto command.

Together these enable: load-html → viewport --scale 2 → viewport --scale 1.5
→ screenshot, with content surviving both context recreations. Codex v2 P0
flagged that bare page.setContent in restoreState would lose content on the
second scale change — this commit implements the rehydration path.

return value), plan Feature 3 + Feature 4.

* feat(browse): load-html, screenshot --selector, viewport --scale, alias dispatch

Wires the new handlers and dispatch logic that the previous commits made
possible:

write-commands.ts
- New 'load-html' case: validateReadPath for safe-dir scoping, stat-based
  actionable errors (not found, directory, oversize), extension allowlist
  (.html/.htm/.xhtml/.svg), magic-byte sniff with UTF-8 BOM strip accepting
  any <[a-zA-Z!?] markup opener (not just <!doctype — bare fragments like
  <div>...</div> work for setContent), 50MB cap via GSTACK_BROWSE_MAX_HTML_BYTES
  override, frame-context rejection. Calls session.setTabContent() so replay
  metadata is rehydrated.
- viewport command extended: optional [<WxH>], optional [--scale <n>],
  scale-only variant reads current size via page.viewportSize(). Invalid
  scale (NaN, Infinity, empty, out of 1-3) throws with named value. Headed
  mode rejected explicitly.
- clearLoadedHtml() called BEFORE goto/back/forward/reload navigation
  (not after) so a timed-out goto post-commit doesn't leave stale metadata
  that could resurrect on a later context recreation. Codex v2 P1 catch.
- goto uses validateNavigationUrl's normalized return value.

meta-commands.ts
- screenshot --selector <css> flag: explicit element-screenshot form.
  Rejects alongside positional selector (both = error), preserves --clip
  conflict at line 161, composes with --base64 at lines 168-174.
- chain canonicalizes each step with canonicalizeCommand — step shape is
  now { rawName, name, args } so prevalidation, dispatch, WRITE_COMMANDS.has,
  watch blocking, and result labels all use canonical names while audit
  labels show 'rawName→name' when aliased. Codex v3 P2 catch — prior shape
  only canonicalized at prevalidation and diverged everywhere else.
- diff command consumes validateNavigationUrl return value for both URLs.

server.ts
- Command canonicalization inserted immediately after parse, before scope /
  watch / tab-ownership / content-wrapping checks. rawCommand preserved for
  future audit (not wired into audit log in this commit — follow-up).
- Unknown-command handler replaced with buildUnknownCommandError() from
  commands.ts — produces 'Unknown command: X. Did you mean Y?' with optional
  upgrade hint for NEW_IN_VERSION entries.

security-audit-r2.test.ts
- Updated chain-loop marker from 'for (const cmd of commands)' to
  'for (const c of commands)' to match the new chain step shape. Same
  isWatching + BLOCKED invariants still asserted.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.1.0.0)

- VERSION: 1.0.0.0 → 1.1.0.0 (MINOR bump — new user-facing commands)
- package.json: matching version bump
- CHANGELOG.md: new 1.1.0.0 entry describing load-html, screenshot --selector,
  viewport --scale, file:// support, setContent replay, and DX polish in user
  voice with a dedicated Security section for file:// safe-dirs policy
- browse/SKILL.md.tmpl: adds pattern garrytan#12 "Render local HTML", pattern garrytan#13
  "Retina screenshots", and a full Puppeteer → browse cheatsheet with side-by-
  side API mapping and a worked tweet-renderer migration example
- browse/SKILL.md + SKILL.md: regenerated from templates via `bun run gen:skill-docs`
  to reflect the new command descriptions

* fix: pre-landing review fixes (9 findings from specialist + adversarial review)

Adversarial review (Claude subagent + Codex) surfaced 9 bugs across
CRITICAL/HIGH severity. All fixed:

1. tab-session.ts:setTabContent — state mutation moved AFTER the setContent
   await. Prior order left phantom HTML in replay metadata if setContent
   threw (timeout, browser crash), which a later viewport --scale would
   silently replay. Now loadedHtml is only recorded on successful load.

2. browser-manager.ts:setDeviceScaleFactor — rollback now forces a second
   recreateContext after restoring the old fields. The fallback path in
   the original recreateContext builds a blank context using whatever
   this.deviceScaleFactor/currentViewport hold at that moment (which were
   the NEW values we were trying to apply). Rolling back the fields without
   a second recreate left the live context at new-scale while state tracked
   old-scale. Now: restore fields, force re-recreate with old values, only
   if that ALSO fails do we return a combined error.

3. commands.ts:buildUnknownCommandError — Levenshtein tiebreak simplified
   to 'd <= 2 && d < bestDist' (strict less). Candidates are pre-sorted
   alphabetically, so first equal-distance wins by default. The prior
   '(d === bestDist && best !== undefined && cand < best)' clause was dead
   code.

4. tab-session.ts:onMainFrameNavigated — now clears loadedHtml, not just
   refs + frame. Without this, a user who load-html'd then clicked a link
   (or had a form submit / JS redirect / OAuth flow) would retain the stale
   replay metadata. The next viewport --scale would silently revert the
   tab to the ORIGINAL loaded HTML, losing whatever the post-navigation
   content was. Silent data corruption. Browser-emitted navigations trigger
   this path via wirePageEvents.

5. browser-manager.ts:saveState + restoreState — tab ownership now flows
   through BrowserState.owner. Without this, a scoped agent's viewport
   --scale would strand them: tab IDs change during recreate, ownership
   map held stale IDs, owner lookup failed. New IDs had no owner, so
   writes without tabId were denied (DoS). Worse, if the agent sent a
   stale tabId the server's swallowed-tab-switch-error path would let the
   command hit whatever tab was currently active (cross-tab authz bypass).
   Now: clear ownership before restore, re-add per-tab with new IDs.

6. meta-commands.ts:state load — disk-loaded state.pages is now explicit
   allowlist (url, isActive, storage:null) instead of object spread.
   Spreading accepted loadedHtml, loadedHtmlWaitUntil, and owner from a
   user-writable state file, letting a tampered state.json smuggle HTML
   past load-html's safe-dirs / extension / magic-byte / 50MB-cap
   validators, or forge tab ownership. Now stripped at the boundary.

7. url-validation.ts:normalizeFileUrl — preserves query string + fragment
   across normalization. file://./app.html?route=home#login previously
   resolved to a filesystem path that URL-encoded '?' as %3F and '#' as
   %23, or (for absolute forms) pathToFileURL dropped them entirely. SPAs
   and fixture URLs with query params 404'd or loaded the wrong route.
   Now: split on ?/# before path resolution, reattach after.

8. url-validation.ts:validateNavigationUrl — reattaches parsed.search +
   parsed.hash to the normalized file:// URL. Same fix at the main
   validator for absolute paths that go through fileURLToPath round-trip.

9. server.ts:writeAuditEntry — audit entries now include aliasOf when the
   user typed an alias ('setcontent' → cmd: 'load-html', aliasOf:
   'setcontent'). Previously the isAliased variable was computed but
   dropped, losing the raw input from the forensic trail. Completes the
   plan's codex v3 P2 requirement.

Also added bm.getCurrentViewport() and switched 'viewport --scale'-
without-size to read from it (more reliable than page.viewportSize() on
headed/transition contexts).

Tests pass: exit 0, no failures. Build clean.

* test: integration coverage for load-html, screenshot --selector, viewport --scale, replay, aliases

Adds 28 Playwright-integration tests that close the coverage gap flagged
by the ship-workflow coverage audit (50% → expected ~80%+).

**load-html (12 tests):**
- happy path loads HTML file, page text matches
- bare HTML fragments (<div>...</div>) accepted, not just full documents
- missing file arg throws usage
- non-.html extension rejected by allowlist
- /etc/passwd.html rejected by safe-dirs policy
- ENOENT path rejected with actionable "not found" error
- directory target rejected
- binary file (PNG magic bytes) disguised as .html rejected by magic-byte check
- UTF-8 BOM stripped before magic-byte check — BOM-prefixed HTML accepted
- --wait-until networkidle exercises non-default branch
- invalid --wait-until value rejected
- unknown flag rejected

**screenshot --selector (5 tests):**
- --selector flag captures element, validates Screenshot saved (element)
- conflicts with positional selector (both = error)
- conflicts with --clip (mutually exclusive)
- composes with --base64 (returns data:image/png;base64,...)
- missing value throws usage

**viewport --scale (5 tests):**
- WxH --scale 2 produces PNG with 2x element dimensions (parses IHDR bytes 16-23)
- --scale without WxH keeps current size + applies scale
- non-finite value (abc) throws "not a finite number"
- out-of-range (4, 0.5) throws "between 1 and 3"
- missing value throws

**setContent replay across context recreation (3 tests):**
- load-html → viewport --scale 2: content survives (hits setTabContent replay path)
- double cycle 2x → 1.5x: content still survives (proves TabSession rehydration)
- goto after load-html clears replay: subsequent viewport --scale does NOT
  resurrect the stale HTML (validates the onMainFrameNavigated fix)

**Command aliases (2 tests):**
- setcontent routes to load-html via chain canonicalization
- set-content (hyphenated) also routes — both end-to-end through chain dispatch

Fixture paths use /tmp (SAFE_DIRECTORIES entry) instead of $TMPDIR which is
/var/folders/... on macOS and outside the safe-dirs boundary. Chain result
labels use rawName→name format when an alias is resolved (matches the
meta-commands.ts chain refactor).

Full suite: exit 0, 223/223 pass.

* docs: update BROWSER.md + CHANGELOG for v1.1.0.0

BROWSER.md:
- Command reference table updated: goto now lists file:// support,
  load-html added to Navigate row, viewport flagged with --scale
  option, screenshot row shows --selector + --base64 flags
- Screenshot modes table adds the fifth mode (element crop via
  --selector flag) and notes the tag-selector-not-caught-positionally
  gotcha
- New "Retina screenshots — viewport --scale" subsection explains
  deviceScaleFactor mechanics, context recreation side effects, and
  headed-mode rejection
- New "Loading local HTML — goto file:// vs load-html" subsection
  explains the two paths, their tradeoffs (URL state, relative asset
  resolution), the safe-dirs policy, extension allowlist + magic-byte
  sniff, 50MB cap, setContent replay across recreateContext, and the
  alias routing (setcontent → load-html before scope check)

CHANGELOG.md (v1.1.0.0 security section expanded, no existing content
removed):
- State files cannot smuggle HTML or forge tab ownership (allowlist
  on disk-loaded page fields)
- Audit log records aliasOf when a canonical command was reached via
  an alias (setcontent → load-html)
- load-html content clears on real navigations (clicks, form submits,
  JS redirects) — not just explicit goto. Also notes SPA query/fragment
  preservation for goto file://

…ewport --scale, file:// (v1.1.0.0) (garrytan#1062)

* feat(browse): TabSession loadedHtml + command aliases + DX polish primitives

Adds the foundation layer for Puppeteer-parity features:

- TabSession.loadedHtml + setTabContent/getLoadedHtml/clearLoadedHtml —
  enables load-html content to survive context recreation (viewport --scale)
  via in-memory replay. ASCII lifecycle diagram in the source explains the
  clear-before-navigation contract.

- COMMAND_ALIASES + canonicalizeCommand() helper — single source of truth
  for name aliases (setcontent / set-content / setContent → load-html),
  consumed by server dispatch and chain prevalidation.

- buildUnknownCommandError() pure function — rich error messages with
  Levenshtein-based "Did you mean" suggestions (distance ≤ 2, input
  length ≥ 4 to skip 2-letter noise) and NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hints.

- load-html registered in WRITE_COMMANDS + SCOPE_WRITE so scoped write
  tokens can use it.

- screenshot and viewport descriptions updated for upcoming flags.

- New browse/test/dx-polish.test.ts (15 tests): alias canonicalization,
  Levenshtein threshold + alphabetical tiebreak, short-input guard,
  NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hint, alias + scope integration invariants.

No consumers yet — pure additive foundation. Safe to bisect on its own.

* feat(browse): accept file:// in goto with smart cwd/home-relative parsing

Extends validateNavigationUrl to accept file:// URLs scoped to safe dirs
(cwd + TEMP_DIR) via the existing validateReadPath policy. The workhorse is a
new normalizeFileUrl() helper that handles non-standard relative forms BEFORE
the WHATWG URL parser sees them:

    file:///abs/path.html       → unchanged
    file://./docs/page.html     → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://~/Documents/page.html → file://<HOME>/Documents/page.html
    file://docs/page.html       → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://localhost/abs/path   → unchanged
    file://host.example.com/... → rejected (UNC/network)
    file:// and file:///        → rejected (would list a directory)

Host heuristic rejects segments with '.', ':', '\\', '%', IPv6 brackets, or
Windows drive-letter patterns — so file://docs.v1/page.html, file://127.0.0.1/x,
file://[::1]/x, and file://C:/Users/x are explicit errors.

Uses fileURLToPath() + pathToFileURL() from node:url (never string-concat) so
URL escapes like %20 decode correctly and Node rejects encoded-slash traversal
(%2F..%2F) outright.

Signature change: validateNavigationUrl now returns Promise<string> (the
normalized URL) instead of Promise<void>. Existing callers that ignore the
return value still compile — they just don't benefit from smart-parsing until
updated in follow-up commits. Callers will be migrated in the next few commits
(goto, diff, newTab, restoreState).

Rewrites the url-validation test file: updates existing tests for the new
return type, adds 20+ new tests covering every normalizeFileUrl shape variant,
URL-encoding edge cases, and path-traversal rejection.

References: codex consult v3 P1 findings on URL parser semantics and fileURLToPath.

* feat(browse): BrowserManager deviceScaleFactor + setContent replay + file:// plumbing

Three tightly-coupled changes to BrowserManager, all in service of the
Puppeteer-parity workflow:

1. deviceScaleFactor + currentViewport tracking. New private fields (default
   scale=1, viewport=1280x720) + setDeviceScaleFactor(scale, w, h) method.
   deviceScaleFactor is a context-level Playwright option — changing it
   requires recreateContext(). The method validates (finite number, 1-3 cap,
   headed-mode rejected), stores new values, calls recreateContext(), and
   rolls back the fields on failure so a bad call doesn't leave inconsistent
   state. Context options at all three sites (launch, recreate happy path,
   recreate fallback) now honor the stored values instead of hardcoding
   1280x720.

2. BrowserState.loadedHtml + loadedHtmlWaitUntil. saveState captures per-tab
   loadedHtml from the session; restoreState replays it via newSession.
   setTabContent() — NOT bare page.setContent() — so TabSession.loadedHtml
   is rehydrated and survives *subsequent* scale changes. In-memory only,
   never persisted to disk (HTML may contain secrets or customer data).

3. newTab + restoreState now consume validateNavigationUrl's normalized
   return value. file://./x, file://~/x, and bare-segment forms now take
   effect at every navigation site, not just the top-level goto command.

Together these enable: load-html → viewport --scale 2 → viewport --scale 1.5
→ screenshot, with content surviving both context recreations. Codex v2 P0
flagged that bare page.setContent in restoreState would lose content on the
second scale change — this commit implements the rehydration path.

return value), plan Feature 3 + Feature 4.

* feat(browse): load-html, screenshot --selector, viewport --scale, alias dispatch

Wires the new handlers and dispatch logic that the previous commits made
possible:

write-commands.ts
- New 'load-html' case: validateReadPath for safe-dir scoping, stat-based
  actionable errors (not found, directory, oversize), extension allowlist
  (.html/.htm/.xhtml/.svg), magic-byte sniff with UTF-8 BOM strip accepting
  any <[a-zA-Z!?] markup opener (not just <!doctype — bare fragments like
  <div>...</div> work for setContent), 50MB cap via GSTACK_BROWSE_MAX_HTML_BYTES
  override, frame-context rejection. Calls session.setTabContent() so replay
  metadata is rehydrated.
- viewport command extended: optional [<WxH>], optional [--scale <n>],
  scale-only variant reads current size via page.viewportSize(). Invalid
  scale (NaN, Infinity, empty, out of 1-3) throws with named value. Headed
  mode rejected explicitly.
- clearLoadedHtml() called BEFORE goto/back/forward/reload navigation
  (not after) so a timed-out goto post-commit doesn't leave stale metadata
  that could resurrect on a later context recreation. Codex v2 P1 catch.
- goto uses validateNavigationUrl's normalized return value.

meta-commands.ts
- screenshot --selector <css> flag: explicit element-screenshot form.
  Rejects alongside positional selector (both = error), preserves --clip
  conflict at line 161, composes with --base64 at lines 168-174.
- chain canonicalizes each step with canonicalizeCommand — step shape is

- screenshot and viewport descriptions updated for upcoming flags.

- New browse/test/dx-polish.test.ts (15 tests): alias canonicalization,
  Levenshtein threshold + alphabetical tiebreak, short-input guard,
  NEW_IN_VERSION upgrade hint, alias + scope integration invariants.

No consumers yet — pure additive foundation. Safe to bisect on its own.

* feat(browse): accept file:// in goto with smart cwd/home-relative parsing

Extends validateNavigationUrl to accept file:// URLs scoped to safe dirs
(cwd + TEMP_DIR) via the existing validateReadPath policy. The workhorse is a
new normalizeFileUrl() helper that handles non-standard relative forms BEFORE
the WHATWG URL parser sees them:

    file:///abs/path.html       → unchanged
    file://./docs/page.html     → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://~/Documents/page.html → file://<HOME>/Documents/page.html
    file://docs/page.html       → file://<cwd>/docs/page.html
    file://localhost/abs/path   → unchanged
    file://host.example.com/... → rejected (UNC/network)
    file:// and file:///        → rejected (would list a directory)

Host heuristic rejects segments with '.', ':', '\\', '%', IPv6 brackets, or
Windows drive-letter patterns — so file://docs.v1/page.html, file://127.0.0.1/x,
file://[::1]/x, and file://C:/Users/x are explicit errors.

Uses fileURLToPath() + pathToFileURL() from node:url (never string-concat) so
URL escapes like %20 decode correctly and Node rejects encoded-slash traversal
(%2F..%2F) outright.

Signature change: validateNavigationUrl now returns Promise<string> (the
normalized URL) instead of Promise<void>. Existing callers that ignore the
return value still compile — they just don't benefit from smart-parsing until
updated in follow-up commits. Callers will be migrated in the next few commits
(goto, diff, newTab, restoreState).

Rewrites the url-validation test file: updates existing tests for the new
return type, adds 20+ new tests covering every normalizeFileUrl shape variant,
URL-encoding edge cases, and path-traversal rejection.

* feat(browse): BrowserManager deviceScaleFactor + setContent replay + file:// plumbing

Three tightly-coupled changes to BrowserManager, all in service of the
Puppeteer-parity workflow:

1. deviceScaleFactor + currentViewport tracking. New private fields (default
   scale=1, viewport=1280x720) + setDeviceScaleFactor(scale, w, h) method.
   deviceScaleFactor is a context-level Playwright option — changing it
   requires recreateContext(). The method validates (finite number, 1-3 cap,
   headed-mode rejected), stores new values, calls recreateContext(), and
   rolls back the fields on failure so a bad call doesn't leave inconsistent
   state. Context options at all three sites (launch, recreate happy path,
   recreate fallback) now honor the stored values instead of hardcoding
   1280x720.

2. BrowserState.loadedHtml + loadedHtmlWaitUntil. saveState captures per-tab
   loadedHtml from the session; restoreState replays it via newSession.
   setTabContent() — NOT bare page.setContent() — so TabSession.loadedHtml
   is rehydrated and survives *subsequent* scale changes. In-memory only,
   never persisted to disk (HTML may contain secrets or customer data).

3. newTab + restoreState now consume validateNavigationUrl's normalized
   return value. file://./x, file://~/x, and bare-segment forms now take
   effect at every navigation site, not just the top-level goto command.

Together these enable: load-html → viewport --scale 2 → viewport --scale 1.5
→ screenshot, with content surviving both context recreations. Codex v2 P0
flagged that bare page.setContent in restoreState would lose content on the
second scale change — this commit implements the rehydration path.

return value), plan Feature 3 + Feature 4.

* feat(browse): load-html, screenshot --selector, viewport --scale, alias dispatch

Wires the new handlers and dispatch logic that the previous commits made
possible:

write-commands.ts
- New 'load-html' case: validateReadPath for safe-dir scoping, stat-based
  actionable errors (not found, directory, oversize), extension allowlist
  (.html/.htm/.xhtml/.svg), magic-byte sniff with UTF-8 BOM strip accepting
  any <[a-zA-Z!?] markup opener (not just <!doctype — bare fragments like
  <div>...</div> work for setContent), 50MB cap via GSTACK_BROWSE_MAX_HTML_BYTES
  override, frame-context rejection. Calls session.setTabContent() so replay
  metadata is rehydrated.
- viewport command extended: optional [<WxH>], optional [--scale <n>],
  scale-only variant reads current size via page.viewportSize(). Invalid
  scale (NaN, Infinity, empty, out of 1-3) throws with named value. Headed
  mode rejected explicitly.
- clearLoadedHtml() called BEFORE goto/back/forward/reload navigation
  (not after) so a timed-out goto post-commit doesn't leave stale metadata
  that could resurrect on a later context recreation. Codex v2 P1 catch.
- goto uses validateNavigationUrl's normalized return value.

meta-commands.ts
- screenshot --selector <css> flag: explicit element-screenshot form.
  Rejects alongside positional selector (both = error), preserves --clip
  conflict at line 161, composes with --base64 at lines 168-174.
- chain canonicalizes each step with canonicalizeCommand — step shape is
  now { rawName, name, args } so prevalidation, dispatch, WRITE_COMMANDS.has,
  watch blocking, and result labels all use canonical names while audit
  labels show 'rawName→name' when aliased. Codex v3 P2 catch — prior shape
  only canonicalized at prevalidation and diverged everywhere else.
- diff command consumes validateNavigationUrl return value for both URLs.

server.ts
- Command canonicalization inserted immediately after parse, before scope /
  watch / tab-ownership / content-wrapping checks. rawCommand preserved for
  future audit (not wired into audit log in this commit — follow-up).
- Unknown-command handler replaced with buildUnknownCommandError() from
  commands.ts — produces 'Unknown command: X. Did you mean Y?' with optional
  upgrade hint for NEW_IN_VERSION entries.

security-audit-r2.test.ts
- Updated chain-loop marker from 'for (const cmd of commands)' to
  'for (const c of commands)' to match the new chain step shape. Same
  isWatching + BLOCKED invariants still asserted.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.1.0.0)

- VERSION: 1.0.0.0 → 1.1.0.0 (MINOR bump — new user-facing commands)
- package.json: matching version bump
- CHANGELOG.md: new 1.1.0.0 entry describing load-html, screenshot --selector,
  viewport --scale, file:// support, setContent replay, and DX polish in user
  voice with a dedicated Security section for file:// safe-dirs policy
- browse/SKILL.md.tmpl: adds pattern garrytan#12 "Render local HTML", pattern garrytan#13
  "Retina screenshots", and a full Puppeteer → browse cheatsheet with side-by-
  side API mapping and a worked tweet-renderer migration example
- browse/SKILL.md + SKILL.md: regenerated from templates via `bun run gen:skill-docs`
  to reflect the new command descriptions

* fix: pre-landing review fixes (9 findings from specialist + adversarial review)

Adversarial review (Claude subagent + Codex) surfaced 9 bugs across
CRITICAL/HIGH severity. All fixed:

1. tab-session.ts:setTabContent — state mutation moved AFTER the setContent
   await. Prior order left phantom HTML in replay metadata if setContent
   threw (timeout, browser crash), which a later viewport --scale would
   silently replay. Now loadedHtml is only recorded on successful load.

2. browser-manager.ts:setDeviceScaleFactor — rollback now forces a second
   recreateContext after restoring the old fields. The fallback path in
   the original recreateContext builds a blank context using whatever
   this.deviceScaleFactor/currentViewport hold at that moment (which were
   the NEW values we were trying to apply). Rolling back the fields without
   a second recreate left the live context at new-scale while state tracked
   old-scale. Now: restore fields, force re-recreate with old values, only
   if that ALSO fails do we return a combined error.

3. commands.ts:buildUnknownCommandError — Levenshtein tiebreak simplified
   to 'd <= 2 && d < bestDist' (strict less). Candidates are pre-sorted
   alphabetically, so first equal-distance wins by default. The prior
   '(d === bestDist && best !== undefined && cand < best)' clause was dead
   code.

4. tab-session.ts:onMainFrameNavigated — now clears loadedHtml, not just
   refs + frame. Without this, a user who load-html'd then clicked a link
   (or had a form submit / JS redirect / OAuth flow) would retain the stale
   replay metadata. The next viewport --scale would silently revert the
   tab to the ORIGINAL loaded HTML, losing whatever the post-navigation
   content was. Silent data corruption. Browser-emitted navigations trigger
   this path via wirePageEvents.

5. browser-manager.ts:saveState + restoreState — tab ownership now flows
   through BrowserState.owner. Without this, a scoped agent's viewport
   --scale would strand them: tab IDs change during recreate, ownership
   map held stale IDs, owner lookup failed. New IDs had no owner, so
   writes without tabId were denied (DoS). Worse, if the agent sent a
   stale tabId the server's swallowed-tab-switch-error path would let the
   command hit whatever tab was currently active (cross-tab authz bypass).
   Now: clear ownership before restore, re-add per-tab with new IDs.

6. meta-commands.ts:state load — disk-loaded state.pages is now explicit
   allowlist (url, isActive, storage:null) instead of object spread.
   Spreading accepted loadedHtml, loadedHtmlWaitUntil, and owner from a
   user-writable state file, letting a tampered state.json smuggle HTML
   past load-html's safe-dirs / extension / magic-byte / 50MB-cap
   validators, or forge tab ownership. Now stripped at the boundary.

7. url-validation.ts:normalizeFileUrl — preserves query string + fragment
   across normalization. file://./app.html?route=home#login previously
   resolved to a filesystem path that URL-encoded '?' as %3F and '#' as
   %23, or (for absolute forms) pathToFileURL dropped them entirely. SPAs
   and fixture URLs with query params 404'd or loaded the wrong route.
   Now: split on ?/# before path resolution, reattach after.

8. url-validation.ts:validateNavigationUrl — reattaches parsed.search +
   parsed.hash to the normalized file:// URL. Same fix at the main
   validator for absolute paths that go through fileURLToPath round-trip.

9. server.ts:writeAuditEntry — audit entries now include aliasOf when the
   user typed an alias ('setcontent' → cmd: 'load-html', aliasOf:
   'setcontent'). Previously the isAliased variable was computed but
   dropped, losing the raw input from the forensic trail. Completes the
   plan's codex v3 P2 requirement.

Also added bm.getCurrentViewport() and switched 'viewport --scale'-
without-size to read from it (more reliable than page.viewportSize() on
headed/transition contexts).

Tests pass: exit 0, no failures. Build clean.

* test: integration coverage for load-html, screenshot --selector, viewport --scale, replay, aliases

Adds 28 Playwright-integration tests that close the coverage gap flagged
by the ship-workflow coverage audit (50% → expected ~80%+).

**load-html (12 tests):**
- happy path loads HTML file, page text matches
- bare HTML fragments (<div>...</div>) accepted, not just full documents
- missing file arg throws usage
- non-.html extension rejected by allowlist
- /etc/passwd.html rejected by safe-dirs policy
- ENOENT path rejected with actionable "not found" error
- directory target rejected
- binary file (PNG magic bytes) disguised as .html rejected by magic-byte check
- UTF-8 BOM stripped before magic-byte check — BOM-prefixed HTML accepted
- --wait-until networkidle exercises non-default branch
- invalid --wait-until value rejected
- unknown flag rejected

**screenshot --selector (5 tests):**
- --selector flag captures element, validates Screenshot saved (element)
- conflicts with positional selector (both = error)
- conflicts with --clip (mutually exclusive)
- composes with --base64 (returns data:image/png;base64,...)
- missing value throws usage

**viewport --scale (5 tests):**
- WxH --scale 2 produces PNG with 2x element dimensions (parses IHDR bytes 16-23)
- --scale without WxH keeps current size + applies scale
- non-finite value (abc) throws "not a finite number"
- out-of-range (4, 0.5) throws "between 1 and 3"
- missing value throws

**setContent replay across context recreation (3 tests):**
- load-html → viewport --scale 2: content survives (hits setTabContent replay path)
- double cycle 2x → 1.5x: content still survives (proves TabSession rehydration)
- goto after load-html clears replay: subsequent viewport --scale does NOT
  resurrect the stale HTML (validates the onMainFrameNavigated fix)

**Command aliases (2 tests):**
- setcontent routes to load-html via chain canonicalization
- set-content (hyphenated) also routes — both end-to-end through chain dispatch

Fixture paths use /tmp (SAFE_DIRECTORIES entry) instead of $TMPDIR which is
/var/folders/... on macOS and outside the safe-dirs boundary. Chain result
labels use rawName→name format when an alias is resolved (matches the
meta-commands.ts chain refactor).

Full suite: exit 0, 223/223 pass.

* docs: update BROWSER.md + CHANGELOG for v1.1.0.0

BROWSER.md:
- Command reference table updated: goto now lists file:// support,
  load-html added to Navigate row, viewport flagged with --scale
  option, screenshot row shows --selector + --base64 flags
- Screenshot modes table adds the fifth mode (element crop via
  --selector flag) and notes the tag-selector-not-caught-positionally
  gotcha
- New "Retina screenshots — viewport --scale" subsection explains
  deviceScaleFactor mechanics, context recreation side effects, and
  headed-mode rejection
- New "Loading local HTML — goto file:// vs load-html" subsection
  explains the two paths, their tradeoffs (URL state, relative asset
  resolution), the safe-dirs policy, extension allowlist + magic-byte
  sniff, 50MB cap, setContent replay across recreateContext, and the
  alias routing (setcontent → load-html before scope check)

CHANGELOG.md (v1.1.0.0 security section expanded, no existing content
removed):
- State files cannot smuggle HTML or forge tab ownership (allowlist
  on disk-loaded page fields)
- Audit log records aliasOf when a canonical command was reached via
  an alias (setcontent → load-html)
- load-html content clears on real navigations (clicks, form submits,
  JS redirects) — not just explicit goto. Also notes SPA query/fragment
  preservation for goto file://
