Merge daemon + cdp-monitor into a single CDP-direct backend. All CLI
and MCP commands now route through the daemon HTTP API instead of
direct CDP connections or Extension relay.
Key changes:
- Daemon: rewrite to hold persistent CDP WebSocket, handle all 30+
commands via dispatchRequest, per-tab event state with RingBuffer,
short tab IDs (4-char hex), global seq counter, incremental queries
via since/cursor mechanism
- CLI: all commands route through daemon HTTP, --tab accepts string
short IDs, add --since/--method/--status flags for network queries,
fix tab close with --tab flag, fix invalid tab ID silent fallback
- MCP: tab parameter z.number() → z.string(), add browser_console
and browser_errors tools, add since/method/status/limit params to
browser_network, remove Extension dependency hints
- Shared: export additional types for daemon consumption
Bug fixes from harness testing:
- Invalid tab ID now errors instead of silent fallback
- tab_new works with zero existing tabs
- console.warn() correctly captured as type "warn"
- --tab flag works with tab close command
Closes#131

* fix: auto-reconnect after Hub restart
Two bugs prevented reconnection when pinixd restarts:
1. reconnectTimer was unref'd via maybeUnref(), so it didn't keep the
event loop alive — the setTimeout callback never fired
2. gRPC transport was reused across reconnects, causing "protocol error:
missing status" loops from stale HTTP/2 connection state
Fix: remove maybeUnref on reconnect timer, create fresh transport on
each reconnect attempt, remove unused runPromise guard.
Closes#103

* feat: auto-launch Chrome when CDP not available in bb-browserd
bb-browserd now automatically starts a managed Chrome instance if no
CDP connection is found, instead of failing with "Chrome not reachable".
Also adds clip.json for Pinix Registry publishing.

Part of manifest file removal across Pinix ecosystem (epiral/pinix#47).
Clip identity comes from package.json; commands/domain/etc from SDK code at runtime.

Fixes:
- fix: remove replMode from CDP evaluate to fix async/Promise results
- fix: open new tabs in background (background: true)

- Pattern 1: Structural DOM extraction using semantic HTML elements
instead of CSS classes (Google search example)
- Pattern 2: Dynamic webpack module discovery by source code signatures
instead of hardcoded module IDs (Twitter/X example)
- Pattern 3: Vue/React internal state access

replMode: true caused Chrome to treat Promise values as plain objects,
bypassing awaitPromise: true. This made all async site adapters
(twitter/reply, twitter/search, etc.) return empty {} instead of
actual results.

Chrome Dev installs to %LOCALAPPDATA% on Windows, not Program Files.
Without these paths bb-browser falls through to Edge even when Chrome
Dev is installed.

GITHUB_TOKEN-created releases don't trigger other workflows (GitHub
Actions limitation to prevent loops). Changed publish.yml to use
workflow_call (invoked by release-please) + workflow_dispatch (manual
retry from Actions tab).

Previously all publish steps lived in release-please.yml gated on
release_created. If the release-please run failed (e.g. permissions)
but the release was created manually, npm publish could never be
retried — subsequent runs saw the release already existed and skipped.
Now release-please.yml only manages PRs/releases, and a new
publish.yml triggers on release:published to handle build, extension
upload, and npm publish independently. Publish failures can be re-run
without needing release-please to fire again.

Add `background: true` to both `Target.createTarget` CDP calls so that
`bb-browser open --tab` and `bb-browser tab new` no longer activate the
Chrome window. This prevents disrupting the user's workflow when agents
run browser automation in the background.

Monitoring commands (network, console, errors, trace) are broken in
direct CDP mode because each CLI invocation is a new short-lived
process that cannot accumulate events over time.
This introduces a long-running background monitor process that
maintains a persistent CDP connection and collects events:
- cdp-monitor-state.ts: MonitorState class extracted from cdp-client.ts
event handling logic (Network.*, Runtime.*, trace)
- cdp-monitor.ts: standalone Node.js process that connects to Chrome
via CDP, attaches to all page targets, and serves an HTTP API on
127.0.0.1 with bearer-token auth
- monitor-manager.ts: CLI-side lifecycle management (spawn, health
check, shutdown, command forwarding)
- client.ts: routes monitor actions (network/console/errors/trace)
through the monitor with graceful fallback to direct CDP
- tsup.config.ts: adds cdp-monitor as a build entry point
The monitor auto-discovers new tabs, writes PID/port/token files to
~/.bb-browser/, and auto-exits after 30 minutes of inactivity.
cdp-client.ts is intentionally left untouched to avoid regressions.
