- Pass INSTALL_DIR to sh instead of curl so profile-use installs to
the correct location (~/.browser-use/bin/)
- Replace macOS-specific 'brew install cloudflared' with generic link
- Narrow cloud --help intercept to only fire when --help is immediately
after 'cloud', so 'cloud v2 --help' still shows OpenAPI endpoints
- Guard signal handler against concurrent shutdown tasks on repeated signals
- Route error response bodies to stderr in cloud REST commands
- Replace stale port 49200 in README Windows troubleshooting
- Add `browser-use upload <index> <path>` command for uploading files to
file input elements via the CLI
- Extract find_file_input_near_element from nested closures in tools/service.py
to a reusable method on BrowserSession, deduplicating two copies
- Add BrowserWrapper.upload() for the Python REPL
- Resolve file paths to absolute on the client side before sending to daemon
- Update SKILL.md files and README with upload command docs
Unify all CLI-managed files under ~/.browser-use/ (config, sockets, PIDs,
binaries, tunnels) instead of scattering across ~/.config/browser-use/ and
~/.browser-use/run/. Add profile-use Go binary as managed subcommand via
browser-use profile, with auto-download fallback and install.sh integration.
Wire cloudflared and profile-use availability checks into browser-use doctor.
The `run` command pulled in heavy SDK dependencies (openai, anthropic,
google), had a bug (await on sync get_llm), and is superseded by
`browser-use cloud` for agent execution. CLI is now purely a browser
automation interface.

Login/logout with API key persistence, versioned REST calls (v2/v3),
task polling, and OpenAPI-driven help. Stdlib only, no daemon needed.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Replace the multi-session server (server.py, SessionRegistry, portalocker locking,
PID files, orphan detection) with a minimal daemon (daemon.py) that holds one
BrowserSession in memory. Socket file existence = alive. Auto-exits when browser
dies via CDP watchdog.

Remove all cloud API paths from the CLI while leaving core library
cloud support (BrowserSession(use_cloud=True), browser/cloud/) untouched.
Deleted: api_key.py, cloud_task.py, cloud_session.py
Removed: --browser remote, cloud-only run flags, task/session subcommands,
cloud profile ops (create/update/delete/sync), remote mode validation
Kept: tunnel (just Cloudflare), all local commands, install_config.py
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>
Previously only suggested --full, but --remote-only is a lighter-weight
option when users only need cloud browser support.

Reverts changes to browser_use/llm/browser_use/chat.py to keep
CLI changes isolated. Browser-use models are now hardcoded in
agent.py instead of importing from chat.py.

- Forward all cloud-only flags in _handle_remote_run_with_wait
Previously only forwarded 6 params; now includes session_id, vision,
metadata, secrets, allowed_domains, skill_ids, structured_output,
judge, judge_ground_truth, plus session creation for profile/proxy
- Use asyncio.to_thread for blocking SDK call in poll_until_complete
Prevents client.tasks.get_task from blocking the event loop while
polling for task completion

Use asyncio.to_thread() for poll_until_complete to prevent time.sleep()
from blocking the async event loop when --wait is used.

Replace custom HTTP client with browser-use-sdk for tasks and sessions,
completing the SDK migration started in 8a992229.
## SDK Migration
- Add `sdk.py` with singleton client factory (`get_sdk_client()`)
- Rewrite `cloud_task.py` to use SDK (-300 lines)
- All functions return typed SDK models (TaskView, SessionView, etc.)
- Add `_filter_none()` to omit None values (SDK sends null, API rejects)
## No Client-Side Defaults
- Remove hardcoded defaults from CLI (max_steps, proxy_country, etc.)
- Let API use its own defaults (documented at docs.cloud.browser-use.com)
- Only pass values user explicitly sets
## New CLI Features
- `session create` - create session without task
- `session share <id>` - create/delete public share URLs
- `task list --session <id>` - filter tasks by session
- New task flags: --metadata, --secret, --allowed-domain, --skill-id,
--structured-output, --judge, --judge-ground-truth, --start-url
## Async by Default
- Change `--no-wait` to `--wait` (flip default behavior)
- Tasks return immediately with task_id by default
- Use `--wait` to block until completion

Replace raw urllib HTTP calls with the official browser-use-sdk client
for all cloud profile API operations. This provides:
- Type-safe responses (ProfileView, ProfileListResponse)
- Cleaner error handling via SDK exceptions
- Consistent SDK usage pattern (matches skills/service.py)
- Removes 40 lines of manual HTTP/auth handling from main.py

Use asyncio.to_thread() with thread pool to stop multiple cloud
sessions concurrently instead of sequentially. Results in ~3.5x
speedup (3.8s vs 13.3s for 5 sessions).

The previous implementation tried to handle various event loop edge
cases but had a bug: if run_until_complete started a coroutine and
then raised RuntimeError, it would try to re-run the same consumed
coroutine with asyncio.run(), causing "cannot reuse already awaited
coroutine" errors.
For CLI code, asyncio.run() is the correct approach as it creates
a fresh event loop. This simplification fixes the confusing error
message when users pass truncated task IDs.

- setup.py: Add noqa comment for intentional import check (F401)
- tunnel_manager.py: Add noqa for blocking open in async context (ASYNC230)
- profile.py, setup.py: Auto-format with ruff

- agent.py: Move API key check inside remote mode block only, allowing
local mode to work with OPENAI/ANTHROPIC keys without BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
- tunnel_manager.py: Close log file handle on success path to prevent
file descriptor leak
- profile.py: Use stderr for progress messages when --json flag is set;
add cleanup_cloud_profile() to delete orphaned cloud profiles on sync failure
- install.sh: Add guard for --api-key requiring a value; warn on unknown
arguments instead of silently ignoring; fix read -p with < /dev/tty
for piped install (curl | bash)
- test_setup_command.py: Remove all unittest.mock usage per repo guidelines,
replace with real function calls that verify structure and logic

- Default task status shows only latest step (token efficient for agents)
- Add --compact/-c flag to show all steps with reasoning
- Add --verbose/-v flag to show all steps with URLs + actions
- Add --last/-n, --reverse/-r, --step/-s flags for navigating long tasks
- Display duration for tasks (e.g., "18s", "5m 13s") and sessions
- Format proxy cost to 2 decimal places in session output
- Update SKILL.md docs with recommended monitoring workflow
- Remove pycloudflared dependency from pyproject.toml
- Simplify tunnel_manager.py to just use shutil.which('cloudflared')
- Add install_cloudflared() to install.sh that downloads binary from
official Cloudflare GitHub releases based on platform/arch
- Update SKILL.md with manual cloudflared install instructions
- Update setup.py messages for missing cloudflared
install.sh supported platforms:
- Linux (x86_64, arm64) - full support, downloads binary to ~/.local/bin
- macOS (Intel, Apple Silicon) - full support, uses brew or direct download
- Windows WSL - works (treated as Linux)
- Native Windows - not supported (bash script), use manual install
- New `tunnel` command: expose localhost ports via Cloudflare quick tunnels
(`bu tunnel 3000` → trycloudflare.com URL, idempotent, auto-cleanup on session close)
- New `skills/remote-browser/SKILL.md`: guides sandboxed agents through
cloud browser + tunnel workflow
- TunnelInfo dataclass on SessionInfo for tunnel lifecycle management
- Tunnel dispatch in both SessionServer and CLI arg parser

- Remove invalid cdp_url parameter from create_browser_session calls
- Replace deleted GetCookiesEvent with direct _cdp_get_cookies() call
- Add type assertion for cookies_file after error check
- Use unique variable names for CDP results to avoid type conflicts
- Add type ignores for CDP typed return values used as dicts
Move all CLI-specific CDP logic directly into browser.py command
handlers instead of using events and watchdogs. This keeps the CLI
self-contained and avoids adding CLI-specific code to the core library.
- Remove 14 CLI-specific events from events.py
- Remove 3 watchdog files (cookies, interactions, wait)
- Remove watchdog registrations from session.py
- Implement direct CDP calls in browser.py for cookies, wait, hover,
dblclick, rightclick, and get commands
- Add cloud profile commands: list, create, get, update, delete
- Add profile sync command to sync local Chrome cookies to cloud
- Add profile cookies command to list cookies by domain
- Add cookies export/import commands for bulk transfer
- Optimize cookie import using Network.setCookies (bulk API)
- Real browser now runs headless by default (use --headed for visible)
- Support --domain flag for syncing specific domain cookies only
- Update SKILL.md with cloud profile workflow documentation
Adds information retrieval commands to the browser-use CLI:
- get title: page title
- get html: full page or element HTML via selector
- get text: text content of element by index
- get value: input/textarea value by index
- get attributes: all attributes of element by index
- get bbox: bounding box (x, y, width, height) of element
Adds mouse interaction commands to the browser-use CLI:
- hover: move mouse over element (triggers CSS :hover effects)
- dblclick: double-click element
- rightclick: right-click element (context menu)
Adds wait conditions to the browser-use CLI with two subcommands:
- wait selector: wait for CSS selector with state options (visible, hidden, attached, detached)
- wait text: wait for text to appear on the page
Both support custom timeout in milliseconds.
Adds cookie management to the browser-use CLI with three subcommands:
- cookies get: retrieve all cookies or filter by URL
- cookies set: create cookies with domain, path, secure, httpOnly options
- cookies clear: remove all cookies or filter by URL
The CLI 'run' command now supports BROWSER_USE_API_KEY as an LLM option,
using ChatBrowserUse which is optimized for browser automation tasks.
This aligns the CLI behavior with the documented supported models at
https://docs.browser-use.com/supported-models which shows ChatBrowserUse
as a valid LLM option using BROWSER_USE_API_KEY.
Changes:
- Add ChatBrowserUse as first LLM option in get_llm() when BROWSER_USE_API_KEY is set
- Update error message to mention BROWSER_USE_API_KEY
- State command outputs same format that browser-use agents see
- Added aliases: bu, browser (all work the same)
- Headed mode now correctly shows browser window
