 - The instance ID and optional label persist in `chrome.storage.local` until the user uninstalls the Extension or clears extension storage.
 - Page content, screenshots, DOM snapshots, and other observed data are returned to the local daemon in response to commands and are **not retained by the Extension**. They live only as long as the agent's tool call.
+- Upload and download bytes are staged by the local daemon in a private, session-scoped directory. Download staging is removed after it is copied to the requested destination. Upload staging is retained until the session ends so a later form submission can still read the attached file. Remaining staging is removed when the session ends or disconnects, or when the daemon next starts after a crash.

+- `fixture-fully-overflow-clipped`
+
+`fixture-partially-overflow-clipped` must remain present because part of it is visible. Its screenshot must contain only the browser's final composited view.
+
+### `unlabeled.html`
+
+This page contains eight Canvas elements but must render seven generic Surface markers because
+the two coincident layers form one group.
+
+- Every marker uses the stable fallback label `canvas visual surface`.
+- Exactly one marker has `layers=2`.
+- The two contained canvases remain separate markers.
+- `id`, `class`, `data-testid`, nearby prose, and fallback AX content never become a Surface label.
+- Blank `aria-label` and `title` values behave as no label.
+- Fallback AX content does not suppress the corresponding Surface.
+
+### `frames.html`
+
+Expected Surface labels:
+
+- `fixture-same-origin-frame`
+- `fixture-cross-origin-frame`
+- `fixture-nested-frame`
+
+The cross-origin frame uses `http://localhost:4173` while the parent uses `http://127.0.0.1:4173`. With Chromium site isolation this exercises the OOPIF path without an external service.
+
+### `viewport.html`
+
+Run with a `900x700` Agent Window.
+
+- `fixture-partial-viewport` is partly visible and must be represented.
+- `fixture-below-fold` is absent initially.
+- After scrolling it into view and observing again, `fixture-below-fold` must be represented with a fresh ref.
+
+### `dynamic.html`
+
+Use the normal DOM buttons and re-observe after each action:
+
+- Initial state: `fixture-dynamic` absent.
+- After **Insert canvas**: present.
+- After **Resize to zero**: absent.
+- After **Restore size**: present with a fresh ref.
+- After **Remove canvas**: absent.
+
+## Invariants
+
+- `snapshot` must not emit any of these Surface markers.
+- `observe` must emit only currently visible Canvas surfaces.
+- Existing DOM/AX controls remain readable alongside Surface markers.
+- Missing labels never prevent discovery; naming and discovery are independent.
+- A Surface ref allows `screenshot --ref` and rejects ordinary click/fill/hover/select.
+- No fixture URL, id, label, or layout constant may appear in production discovery code.

+  Use when the user asks to automate their logged-in Chromium browser: visit

+  a PR's UI, validate a deployed page, or operate a tab they identify. Requires
+  the bsk CLI and browser extension.

 # browser-skill

-Drive the user's **real Chromium browser** (with their logins and cookies) through the `bsk` CLI. The extension opens an isolated **Agent Window** for automation; the user's normal windows stay protected unless you explicitly borrow a tab.
+Drive the user's real Chromium browser through `bsk`. Automation runs in an isolated **Agent
+Window** with the user's existing logins and cookies. User-window tabs remain protected unless they
+are explicitly borrowed.

-## When to use
+Do not use this skill for tasks with no browser, for extension installation, or when the user only
+wants instructions. Never extract credentials, cookies, tokens, or other secrets from pages.

- Open pages, read titles/text, scrape structured data from sites the user can already access
- Fill forms, click through multi-step flows, smoke-test a UI change
- Understand pages with `bsk snapshot` first; use `bsk get-html` or `bsk screenshot` only when the snapshot is insufficient
- Operate on a specific user tab they point you at (after `bsk tab borrow`)
+## Required lifecycle

-## When NOT to use
+Every browser task owns a bounded session:

- Tasks with **no browser** involved (files, APIs, databases only)
- Installing or configuring the extension (point the user to setup docs instead)
- **Credential harvesting** — never run `bsk evaluate` on banking, SSO, or password-manager pages to extract tokens, cookies, or secrets
- Long-lived control of a user's personal login window — borrow only for the immediate step, then `bsk tab return` or end the session
- Replacing the user's manual browsing when they only wanted an explanation
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-1. `bsk` on `PATH` (Rust CLI from browser-skill)
-2. browser-skill **extension** loaded in Chromium and connected (popup shows green)
-3. Any `bsk` command auto-starts background services as needed; use `bsk doctor` if anything fails
-
-## Mandatory workflow
-
-Every automation task **must** follow this lifecycle. Do **not** rely on idle timeouts (default session idle is 5 minutes).
-
-```
-1. bsk session start              → capture the 4-letter session id printed on stdout

-Optional: `bsk session start --browser <instance-id-or-label>` when multiple browsers are connected (`bsk browsers` / error output lists them). Add `--no-focus` to open the Agent Window in the background without stealing focus from the user's current window.
+Do not rely on the idle timeout for cleanup. Stop the session as soon as the goal is met unless the
+user explicitly asks to keep it open. Stopping also returns borrowed tabs.

-Emergency cleanup: `bsk session stop --all` or the Agent Window overlay **Stop all**.
+Any `bsk` command auto-starts the background services it needs; never manage the daemon by hand.
+When multiple browsers are connected, use `bsk browsers` and start with
+`bsk session start --browser <id-or-label>`. Add `--no-focus` to that same start command when the
+Agent Window does not need to interrupt the user's current work; it is not a flag on other commands.
+Run `bsk doctor` when startup or transport problems persist after one retry.

-## Stop when the goal is met
+## Work toward one observable goal

-Every task is a **bounded goal**, not open-ended browsing. The goal may come from the user's request, a recorded `trace.json`, or both.
+- Derive a concrete success condition from the user's request or a supplied trace.
+- Take the shortest purposeful path: observe, act, then make at most one observation to confirm an
+  ambiguous result.
+- Once success is visible, do not click, refresh, navigate, switch tabs, or perform extra checks.
+- If a human-only step appears or two attempts make no progress, request help instead of
+  brute-forcing.

-1. **Define success first** — one concrete, observable condition derived from the user's words, `purpose`, or the last meaningful step in a trace (e.g. "form submitted", "item added to cart", "playback started").
-2. **Take the shortest path** — snapshot → act → at most one check. Do not wander, re-try unrelated actions, or stack exploratory steps.
-3. **Stop as soon as success is reached** — run `bsk session stop <id>` immediately unless the user explicitly asked to keep the session open (e.g. "don't close yet", "keep browsing").
-4. **No post-success work** — once the goal is met, do not click, refresh, navigate, re-search, switch tabs, or "double-check" that it worked. Further verification is a new task.
-5. **When blocked, pause — do not brute-force** — if the page requires human input (login, captcha, OTP, payment confirmation) or an action fails twice with no progress, call `bsk request-help` instead of retrying blindly. See **Ask the human for help** below.
-6. **When unsure** — at most one extra `bsk snapshot`. If success looks met, stop. If not, ask the user; do not keep clicking.
+With a trace, follow its semantic target information and values in order, but treat its refs as
+record-local hints. Stop when its purpose or last meaningful effect is satisfied. A trace guides the
+task; it does not expand the user's goal or authorize additional actions.

-**With a trace:** replay steps in order using `target` role/name/tag and raw `value`/`selection` fields. After the last step (or when its `effect.navigated_to` / success hint is satisfied), apply rules 3–4 immediately. The trace guides execution; it does not extend control beyond the goal.
+## Observe, act, observe

-**Without a trace:** the user's request *is* the success condition. Satisfying it ends the task — same stop rules apply.
+Use this default loop:

-## Core interaction loop
-
-Write operations only affect tabs in the **Agent Window** (or tabs you **borrowed** into it).

+```text
 bsk navigate <url> --session <id>
-bsk observe --session <id>           → primary semantic VOM view; reveals hover/focus surfaces
-bsk snapshot --session <id>          → static aria tree fallback when VOM is insufficient
-bsk hover @e3 --session <id>          → reveal hover-triggered menus before re-observing/clicking
-bsk click @e4 --session <id>          → or bsk fill, bsk select, bsk press
-bsk observe --session <id>             → again after navigation / DOM change
+bsk observe --session <id>
+bsk click|hover|fill|select|press ... --session <id>
+bsk observe --session <id>             # after navigation or a meaningful DOM change
 ```

-**Refs invalidate after navigation** — always re-snapshot before clicking, filling, or selecting on a new page.
+Prefer fresh `@eN` refs over CSS selectors. Navigation invalidates refs; large DOM changes may also
+make them stale. Observe again before the next interaction.

-Prefer `@eN` refs from the latest snapshot over raw CSS selectors. Use `--ref` / `--selector` when ambiguous (`bsk click --help`).
+An observation marks a hover-only surface as `@e1 button "Products" [hover first: Shoes | Bags]`.
+The listed items are labels, not usable refs: hover the trigger, observe again, then act on the
+revealed item's own ref. Do not click the trigger itself unless the user wants the trigger's action.
+`[has-submenu]` and `[expanded]` mark the same kind of trigger without listing what it hides.

-When VOM renders `[hover first: …]` on an element, the listed items are not currently clickable refs. Run `bsk hover <that-ref> --session <id>`, then immediately run `bsk snapshot` or `bsk observe` again and click the newly visible menu item ref. Do not click the trigger itself unless the user explicitly wants the trigger action.
+`bsk observe` does not hover the page on its own. Reach for `--probe-hover` when a control you have
+good reason to expect is absent **and** no marker points at a trigger — that combination is what a
+CSS-only hover menu looks like from here. It hovers a bounded set of likely triggers, so it costs a
+few seconds and touches the live page; once you know which element hides the menu, `bsk hover <ref>`
+is cheaper and more precise.

-## Observation priority
+When `bsk observe` renders
+`@eN surface ... [visual-only; requires=image-understanding; ...]`, the ref identifies rendered
+canvas content that is not represented by the text observation, not an interactable DOM control.
+Keep using any reliable DOM/AX text and controls that appear alongside it. If you can actually
+inspect image output, use `bsk screenshot --ref @eN --session <id>` to obtain the visible crop. If
+you lack multimodal or image-reading capability, do not take a screenshot and pretend to know its
+contents, and never guess coordinates; tell the user that they need to switch to a model with
+image-understanding capability. Do not pass a visual surface ref to click, fill, hover, or select;
+those commands intentionally reject screenshot-only refs.

-Start with `bsk observe` to understand page structure, text, controls, element refs, and conditional hover/focus surfaces. Use `bsk snapshot` only when you need the stricter static accessibility tree or VOM is insufficient. Only escalate to raw HTML or screenshots when the latest observation cannot answer the question:
+Escalate page reading only as needed:

-1. `bsk observe` — primary semantic VOM observation; may run bounded perception probes such as hover-surface discovery
-2. `bsk snapshot` — strict static accessibility tree fallback
-3. `bsk get-html` — when hidden DOM, metadata, or markup details are required
-4. `bsk screenshot` — when visual layout, canvas/image content, or styling cannot be inferred from the observation. Use `--ref @eN` (from the latest snapshot/observe) to crop to one element; omit `--ref` for the full visible tab.
+1. `bsk observe` for normal semantic understanding, text, controls, and refs.
+2. `bsk observe --probe-hover` once when an expected control is missing and no marker points at a
+   trigger.
+3. `bsk snapshot` when a stricter static accessibility tree is more useful.
+4. `bsk get-html` for exact markup or hidden metadata that semantic views cannot provide.
+5. `bsk screenshot` for layout, styling, canvas, images, or requested visual evidence.

-Do **not** call `bsk get-html` or `bsk screenshot` first just to inspect a page.
+Do not start with raw HTML or screenshots merely to discover ordinary controls. When interaction is
+needed, obtain a fresh observation before acting on screenshot or HTML findings.

-## Sandbox rules
+## Respect the Agent Window boundary

-| Rule | Detail |
-|------|--------|
-| Agent Window | `bsk tab create`, `bsk navigate`, `bsk click`, etc. work on agent tabs by default |
-| User tabs | Read-only until borrowed: `bsk tab list --session <id> --scope user` then `bsk tab borrow <tab-id> --session <id>` |
-| Return borrowed tabs | Call `bsk tab return <tab-id> --session <id>` when finished; unreturned tabs are **auto-returned** on `bsk session stop` |
-| Writes off-agent | Commands that mutate the page fail if the tab is not in the Agent Window — borrow or create a tab first |
+Normal page writes affect only Agent Window tabs. To operate a user tab, first list it with
+`bsk tab list --scope user --session <id>`, then `bsk tab borrow <tab-id>`. Return it immediately
+after the relevant step with `bsk tab return <tab-id>`; never invent a tab id or keep a personal tab
+borrowed across unrelated work.

-## Global flags
+## Ask the human when needed

-| Flag | Purpose |
-|------|---------|
-| `--json` | Machine-readable JSON on stdout (errors too) |
-| `--quiet` | Suppress informational stderr |
-| `-v` / `-vv` | More verbose logging |
+Use `bsk request-help` for login, captcha, OTP, payment confirmation, consent, or another step the
+user must complete. Give a precise prompt and pass fresh `--target` refs/selectors when concrete
+controls can be highlighted. Use completion criteria only when the page has a clear stable success
+signal.

-Auto-update is **on by default** — the background daemon upgrades `bsk` itself when a new release is available (postponed while a session is active). Set `BSK_AUTO_UPDATE=off` to disable it and upgrade manually with `bsk update`.
+The result `outcome` is one of `continued`, `completed`, `cancelled`, `timed_out`, or `disabled`
+(`navigated` is deprecated — never treat navigation as a completion signal). Resume only after
+`continued` or `completed`. Treat `cancelled` as rejection, and `timed_out` or `disabled` as a
+blocker rather than a reason to retry. After control returns, run a fresh `bsk observe` before
+reasoning about the page or using refs.

-Command-specific flags (timeouts, `--tab-id`, `--wait-until`, …): **`bsk <cmd> --help`**
+## Command inventory

-## CLI command reference (one line each)
+This list of names is complete. Never invent a command outside it; read
+`bsk <command...> --help` for flags instead of guessing them.

-| `bsk session stop --all` | Stop every active session |
-| `bsk session list` | List active sessions |
-
-### Window (require `--session <id>`)
-
-| Command | Summary |
-|---------|---------|
-| `bsk window resize` | Resize the Agent Window (`--width`, `--height`; 100..=7680 CSS px) |
-
-### Device emulation — `bsk emulate` (requires `--session <id>`)
-
-Emulate a mobile device environment on the agent tab via CDP — viewport, User-Agent, and touch — to debug a page's mobile layout and behaviour:
-
-```bash
-bsk emulate --session <id> --device iphone-14
-bsk emulate --session <id> --width 390 --height 844 --dpr 3 --mobile --ua "Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone…" --touch
-bsk emulate --session <id> --off
+```text
+session start|stop|list   browsers   status   doctor   update   logs
+navigate   navigate-back   navigate-forward   reload   wait-for-navigation   wait-ms
+observe   snapshot   get-html   screenshot   console   network
+click   hover   fill   select   press   evaluate
+tab list|create|close|select|borrow|return   window resize   emulate
+request-help   record start|stop
 ```

- Presets (`--device`): `iphone-14`, `iphone-14-pro-max`, `iphone-se`, `pixel-7`, `galaxy-s23`, `ipad-mini`, `galaxy-tab-s8`. Manual flags (`--width`/`--height`/`--dpr`/`--mobile`/`--ua`/`--accept-language`/`--touch`/`--max-touch-points`) also work without a preset, or override individual preset fields; `--no-mobile`/`--no-touch` turn a preset's mobile viewport / touch emulation back off.
- Repeated runs merge field by field onto the tab's current emulation state — only the flags you pass change. E.g. after `--device iphone-14`, `bsk emulate --session <id> --width 390 --height 844` keeps the preset's dpr (`3`) and mobile viewport. (The extension remembers the state per tab; after an extension reload the next run applies only the fields it carries.)
- `--off` clears every override (viewport, UA, touch) and the remembered state, restoring the tab's real environment.
- Scope: overrides apply to **one tab only** (CDP per-target) and are **not inherited by new tabs** — re-run `bsk emulate` after opening or switching to another tab (default target is the session's active tab; `--tab-id` overrides).
- Emulation covers viewport/UA/touch only; it does not throttle the network, fake geolocation, or synthesise real touch-event streams.

+### File transfer (require `--session`)
+
+| Command | Summary |
+|---------|---------|
+| `bsk upload <ref-or-selector> --file <path>` | Click one upload trigger and attach an agent-readable local file (`--file` is repeatable) |
+| `bsk download <ref-or-selector> --out <path>` | Click one download trigger and copy the single completed file to an exact local path (`--overwrite` is opt-in) |
+
+The agent/harness decides whether a file transfer is appropriate and which local path belongs to the task. Treat upload as disclosure of that file to the current website, and download as accepting website-controlled bytes onto the local filesystem. Use only paths that are necessary for the user's bounded goal.
+
+BrowserSkill enforces the mechanical boundary: files are staged under a session-scoped opaque transfer, only daemon-minted capabilities reach the extension, upload/download still obey Agent Window tab checks, and transfers are chunk/size bounded. Upload intercepts the native chooser for one transaction, locates the input activated in the resolved target's document, and assigns only the staged file paths. Download uniquely correlates one exact-target browser intent with one Chrome download in either event order, routes it through a daemon-minted relative directory, and lets the daemon validate and import it. Upload staging remains available for a later form submission and is removed when the session ends. Downloads cannot overwrite an existing destination unless `--overwrite` is explicit. BrowserSkill does not inspect file content or decide whether its meaning is sensitive.
+
+Do not use `request-help` merely because a native file chooser or browser download is involved; try these commands first. For transfer failures, use the structured error instead of retrying blindly:
+
+- `reason=file_input_not_activated` means the requested click did not activate exactly one `<input type="file">`; the page may use a non-input picker such as `window.showOpenFilePicker()`. Do not retry blindly. If human help is available, call `request-help` and tell the user the exact original local path to choose. The staged daemon path is internal and must not be shown to the user.
+- `reason=file_input_probe_failed` means BrowserSkill could not safely establish the browser-side upload transaction. Do not repeat the same action; use `request-help` when available.
+- `reason=set_file_input_failed` means BrowserSkill found the activated file input but Chrome rejected the staged path or assignment. Check the extension's file-URL access permission; otherwise use `request-help`.
+- `reason=download_capture_failed` means BrowserSkill could not attribute exactly one completed download to the requested target. Do not retry blindly or accept an unrelated browser download; use `request-help` when available.
+- `effect_state=none` means BrowserSkill confirmed that no file-transfer effect was committed. Follow the accompanying reason; a corrected target or explicit human fallback may be attempted.
+- `effect_state=unknown` means the browser may already have attached or created the file. Do not repeat the transfer. Observe the page if that can establish the result; otherwise stop and report the uncertainty.
+- `effect_state=committed` means the browser-side effect occurred even if later completion or cleanup failed. Do not repeat it; continue only after verifying the resulting page/download state.
+
+If `request-help` returns `outcome="disabled"`, do not retry it. Stop gracefully and report the transfer mechanism that requires human intervention.

- **v3 bundle (preferred):** `--output` is a directory (default `./trace`) containing `trace.json` and `states/`. `trace.json` lists `states[]` (page observation ids) and `steps[]` (each step binds `state` = observe snapshot *before* the action and `result.state` = snapshot *after* settle). Page bodies live in `states/sN.txt` using the same VOM format as `bsk observe`.
- **v2 fallback:** when the connected extension is older, export may contain only legacy `trace.json` with `pages[]` action context and no `states/` observation files. Update the extension for full v3 bundles.
- Each `states[]` entry is one **settled page observation** (captured after recording start, navigation landing, or action settle — not on a timer).
- `target.ref` values like `@e12` exist **only inside** the bundle for disambiguation; do **not** copy `@eN` refs into SKILL.md or agent runbooks — use visible names from the observation text instead.
- `--purpose` is optional context metadata; it does **not** change what gets captured.
- `--redact-values` masks all form values in page files as `[filled]` / `[empty]`.
- Do **not** record on banking/SSO/password-manager pages; passwords are redacted but traces may still contain sensitive text.
+`select` matches an option's `value` attribute, not its visible label. Device preset ids are
+lowercase and hyphenated, such as `iphone-14`.

-## Error handling
+- `console` and `network` provide bounded, read-only debugging evidence.
+- `emulate` applies viewport, user-agent, and touch overrides to one tab; new tabs do not inherit
+  them. Use `--off` to restore the real environment.
+- `evaluate` is a last resort when observe plus normal interactions cannot complete the task. With
+  `--json`, inspect `.ok`: a JavaScript exception may still have CLI exit code 0 because the RPC
+  succeeded. Never evaluate credential surfaces to read storage, cookies, or auth data.
+- `record` captures a user's actions for later replay. Read `bsk record start --help` before use,
+  and never record banking, SSO, password-manager, or other sensitive pages.

-|-----------|---------|
-| Before first task in a session | `bsk status` — extension connected? |
-| Any failure you cannot fix in one retry | `bsk doctor` |
-| Multiple browsers / wrong target | `bsk browsers` then `bsk session start --browser <id>` |
-
-Always **`bsk session stop <id>`** in a `finally`-style path so the Agent Window closes and borrowed tabs return.
-
-## Red lines
-
-1. **No token theft** — do not `bsk evaluate` on sensitive sites to read `localStorage`, cookies, or auth headers for exfiltration.
-2. **No long borrow** — do not leave a user's personal tab in the Agent Window across unrelated tasks.
-3. **No skip stop** — always `bsk session stop <id>`; never assume idle timeout will clean up.
-4. **No post-success control** — once the user’s goal (or last trace step) is met, do not keep operating the page; stop the session unless they asked to keep it open.
-5. **No raw observe escalation before snapshot/observe** — use `bsk snapshot` first; use `bsk observe` when VOM semantics or conditional surfaces help. Only use `bsk get-html` or `bsk screenshot` when snapshot/observe is insufficient. Element screenshots (`--ref @eN`) still require a fresh snapshot/observe ref — never skip observation just to grab a visual.
-6. **`evaluate` is powerful and risky** — use only when snapshot + click/fill/select cannot suffice; never on credential surfaces.

drakezhangandCursor	51473c01ff	fix(dsh-plugin): add PiP close button and sniff observation thumbnail media type The Document PiP window had no close/return entry once popped out — users could not dismiss it from inside the window. Add an onClosePip callback and render a close button in the PiP header; clicking it calls pipWindow.close() and the content returns to its carrier. The observation thumbnail publisher hardcoded mediaType as "image/png" regardless of the actual capture bytes. Reuse the existing sniffImageMediaType helper (exported from image.ts) so the HTTP thumbnail endpoint declares the correct Content-Type when Chromium returns JPEG captures. Closes #153 (Bug 2 fully; Bug 1 was fixed in #135, this covers the remaining observation-thumbnail path). Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>	2026-09-02 16:14:24 +08:00

drakezhangandCursor	95571f8b70	fix(borrow): improve confirmation UX — proactive focus and longer timeout The borrow confirmation overlay was easily missed because the Agent Window stole focus and the 5-second auto-deny was too aggressive for users who had context-switched away. - Focus the user window proactively when a borrow request is issued so the overlay is immediately visible even when the Agent Window was last focused. - Raise CONFIRMATION_TIMEOUT_MS from 5 s to 60 s, giving users enough time to notice and respond — the OS notification with requireInteraction: true now has a matching window of usefulness.

drakezhang	ee620acf64	docs(skill): give probe-hover a decidable trigger condition The previous wording asked the agent to notice when a page "looks like" it hides content behind hover. That is not something an agent reading a text tree can judge: hover-only content is invisible by definition, and the marker that used to point at it came from the probing that is now off by default. Replaces it with a condition the agent can actually evaluate — an expected control is missing and no [has-submenu] marker points at a trigger — and places it on the escalation ladder ahead of get-html and screenshot, which is where that dead end is currently reached. Also documents [has-submenu]/[expanded] as the primary hover signal. It comes from aria-haspopup in the accessibility tree, costs nothing, and is unaffected by probing being off, so it covers menus that are marked up correctly.	2026-09-02 10:59:18 +08:00
drakezhang	05a36075b8	perf(vom): make active hover probing opt-in on observe Every tool.observe moved the real cursor across the page to look for hover-only menus and tooltips. Measured against real Chrome, that cost a median of 2.5s and up to 4.7s per observation — 73% to 99% of total observe wall clock — and returned 3 hits across 12 pages. A positive control confirms the probes work; the yield on real pages simply does not justify putting them on the default path. observe now probes only when asked, via `probe_hover` (`--probe-hover`). Agents that know which element hides a menu should keep using `bsk hover <ref>`, which is both cheaper and precise. A held hover latch still suppresses probing, since probing would move the cursor off the element the caller is deliberately holding. Correctness fixes that apply whether or not probing is requested: - Hover probing ran between the DOM snapshot and the accessibility tree fetch, so a hover that opened a menu left one half of an observation describing the page before the change and the other half after it. Both chains now run after all capture is complete. - The overlay bypass toggled once per chain and swallowed restore failures, which could leave the agent overlay hidden for the rest of the tab's life. It is now reference counted across both chains, and a failed restore is reported instead of discarded. - Observations report whether they hovered the page and whether that revealed content the static tree lacks, so callers can judge how far the live page may have drifted from the returned snapshot. Probe budgets were checked at the top of the loop, so a candidate could start with 1ms remaining and still run a full settle window, overshooting by up to 634ms. Candidates are now admitted only if they fit. Raising MAX_HOVER_PROBE_MS to 2600 is part of that fix rather than a relaxation: 2000 was never the real ceiling, and enforcing it literally would have silently dropped a candidate the positive control depends on. Tooltip misses are cached too, with a shorter TTL than hits, so repeat observations of the same page no longer re-probe every unlabelled control from scratch.	2026-09-02 10:59:18 +08:00

drakezhangandCursor	59d6533eff	docs(skill): trim agent instructions to a leaner core The CLI skill had grown to 20.8 KB of command tables and flag catalogs that `bsk --help` already answers at runtime, so every agent paid for them on every task. Rewrite both skills around the durable rules an agent cannot rediscover -- session lifecycle, the observe/act/observe loop, the Agent Window boundary, and the stop-on-success contract -- and delegate flag details to the CLI's own help output. The CLI skill drops to 6.9 KB (-67%) and the DSH skill to 5.1 KB. Keep the parts that help discovery has no answer for: the literal `[hover first: ...]` observation marker, the `request-help` outcome values, the complete command-name inventory, and the required flags agents guess wrong (`fill --value`, `select --value`, `screenshot --out`, `emulate --device`). Also bind `--no-focus` explicitly to `bsk session start`, since a bare mention led agents to pass it to `bsk navigate`. Validated with 36 agent runs of the `core` eval suite against a real browser, comparing the old and new instructions with everything else held constant. Pass rate did not regress (the lean version was better on `form-controls`) and token cost per task came out even. The inventory and flag signatures cut `--help` round-trips from 1.7 to 0.7 per task and removed the invented `bsk back` / `bsk forward` calls the first draft produced. Tighten the DSH size assertion to a range so the budget is bounded from both sides and accidental truncation fails the test. Co-authored-by: Cursor <cursoragent@cursor.com>	2026-09-01 18:39:19 +08:00

cyhanoandDeepSeek Harness	60fbf30e24	fix: use detected media type for screenshots instead of hard-coded image/png browser_screenshot declared every capture as image/png regardless of the actual bytes. On Chromium/Edge builds where captureVisibleTab returns JPEG bytes, the stored attachment reference recorded mediaType "image/png" against JPEG bytes, so dsh-attachment-local's read-time metadata verification fails with ATTACHMENT_CORRUPT ("Stored attachment metadata does not match its reference"), surfacing as code UNKNOWN and triggering endless LLM retries. - image.ts: sniff the capture's magic bytes (PNG/JPEG/WebP/GIF) and declare that real media type to attachments.saveImage, instead of always "image/png". - tools.ts: assemble the tool result from ref.mediaType (the store's verified type) rather than re-declaring "image/png" as const, and relax the output schema's const to the accepted media-type enum. - tests: add a regression case asserting JPEG capture bytes surface as image/jpeg.
