  # Changelog
2
2
 
3
- ## v1.6.4 (2026-04-02)
4
-
5
- ### Fixes
6
- - **Gemini scroll-to-bottom** — Changed from small random jitter scrolls to actual bottom-of-page scrolls every ~6 seconds while waiting for the copy button. This ensures lazy-loaded content is triggered and the full answer is captured.
7
- - **Restored missing files** — `.mjs` source files (extractors, search.mjs, launch.mjs, etc.) were incorrectly removed in v1.6.2 cleanup; now properly tracked again.
8
-
9
- ## v1.6.3 (2026-04-02)
10
-
11
- ### Fixes
12
- - **Debug output removed** — Cleaned up stderr passthrough that was causing CDP connection issues in some environments.
13
-
14
- ## v1.6.2 (2026-04-01)
15
-
16
- ### Fixes
17
- - **Anti-bot detection evasion** — Gemini synthesis now performs gentle scroll every ~6 seconds while waiting for the copy button. This prevents the button from hanging due to anti-bot "human activity" checks.
18
-
19
- ## v1.6.1 (2026-03-31)
20
-
21
- ### Features
22
- - **Single-engine full answers by default** — when using `engine: "perplexity"`, `engine: "bing"`, `engine: "google"`, or `engine: "gemini"`, the full answer is now returned by default instead of truncated previews. Multi-engine (`engine: "all"`) still uses truncated previews (~300 chars) to save tokens during synthesis. Explicit `fullAnswer: true/false` always overrides.
23
-
24
- ### Code Quality
25
- - **Major refactoring** — extracted 438 lines from `index.ts` (856 → 418 lines) into modular formatters:
26
- - `src/formatters/coding.ts` — coding task formatting
27
- - `src/formatters/results.ts` search and deep research formatting
28
- - `src/formatters/sources.ts` source utilities (URL, label, consensus, formatting)
29
- - `src/formatters/synthesis.ts` synthesis rendering
30
- - `src/utils/helpers.ts` shared formatting utilities
31
- - **Complexity reduced** — cognitive complexity dropped from 360 to ~60, maintainability index improved from 11.2 to ~40+
32
- - **Eliminated code duplication** — removed 6 duplicate blocks, consolidated 4+ single-use helper functions
33
-
34
- ### Documentation
35
- - Clarified `greedy_search` is WEB SEARCH ONLY — removed "NOT for codebase search" from tool description (still in skill documentation)
36
-
37
- ## v1.6.0 (2026-03-29)
38
-
39
- ### Breaking Changes (Backward Compatible)
40
- - **Merged deep_research into greedy_search** — new `depth` parameter with three levels:
41
- - `fast`: single engine (~15-30s)
42
- - `standard`: 3 engines + synthesis (~30-90s, default for `engine: "all"`)
43
- - `deep`: 3 engines + source fetching + synthesis + confidence (~60-180s)
44
- - **Simpler mental model** — one tool with clear speed/quality tradeoffs instead of separate tools with overlapping flags
45
- - **Deprecated flags still work** — `--synthesize` maps to `depth: "standard"`, `--deep-research` maps to `depth: "deep"`
46
- - **deep_research tool aliased** — still works, calls `greedy_search` with `depth: "deep"`
47
-
48
- ### Documentation
49
- - Updated README with new `depth` parameter and examples
50
- - Updated skill documentation (SKILL.md) to reflect simplified API
51
-
52
- ## v1.5.1 (2026-03-29)
53
-
54
- - **Fixed npm package** — added `.pi-lens/` and test files to `.npmignore` to reduce package size
55
-
56
- ## v1.5.0 (2026-03-29)
57
-
58
- ### Features
59
- - **Code extraction fixed** — `coding_task` now uses clipboard interception to preserve markdown code blocks (was losing them via DOM scraping)
60
- - **Chrome targeting hardened** all tools now consistently target the dedicated GreedySearch Chrome via `CDP_PROFILE_DIR`, preventing fallback to user's main Chrome session
61
- - **Shared utilities** — extracted ~220 lines of duplicate code from extractors into `common.mjs` (cdp wrapper, tab management, clipboard interception)
62
- - **Documentation leaner** skill documentation reduced 61% (180 → 70 lines) while preserving all decision-making info
63
-
64
- ### Notable
65
- - **NO API KEYS** — updated messaging to emphasize this works via browser automation, no API keys needed
66
-
67
- ## v1.4.2 (2026-03-25)
68
-
69
- - **Fresh isolated tabs** — each search now always creates a new `about:blank` tab via `Target.createTarget` and refreshes the CDP page cache immediately after, preventing SPA navigation failures and stale DOM state from prior queries
70
- - **Regex-based citation extraction** — all extractors (Perplexity, Bing, Gemini) now parse sources from clipboard Markdown links (`[title](url)`) instead of DOM selectors that break on UI updates
71
- - **Relaxed verification detection** — `consent.mjs` now uses broad keyword matching (`includes('verify')`, `includes('human')`) instead of anchored regexes, correctly catching button text variants like "Verify you are human" across Cloudflare, Microsoft, and generic modals
72
-
73
- ## v1.4.1
74
-
75
- - **Fixed parallel synthesis** — multiple `greedy_search` calls with `synthesize: true` now run safely in parallel. Each search creates a fresh Gemini tab that gets cleaned up after synthesis, preventing tab conflicts and "Uncaught" errors.
76
-
77
- ## v1.4.0
78
-
79
- - **Grounded synthesis** — Gemini now receives a normalized source registry with stable source IDs, agreement summaries, caveats, and cited claims
80
- - **Real deep research** — top sources are fetched before synthesis so deep research answers are grounded in fetched evidence, not just engine summaries
81
- - **Richer source metadata** source output now includes canonical URLs, domains, source types, per-engine attribution, and confidence metadata
82
- - **Cleaner tab lifecycle** temporary Perplexity, Bing, and Google tabs are closed after each fan-out search, and synthesis finishes on the Gemini tab
83
- - **Isolated Chrome targeting** — GreedySearch now refuses to fall back to your normal Chrome session, preventing stray remote-debugging prompts
3
+ ## v1.7.2 (2026-04-08)
4
+
5
+ ### Release
6
+ - **Patch release** — version bump and npm package verification for the `bin/` runtime layout (`bin/search.mjs`, `bin/launch.mjs`, `bin/cdp.mjs`, `bin/coding-task.mjs`).
7
+
8
+ ## v1.7.1 (2026-04-08)
9
+
10
+ ### Performance
11
+ - **Bounded source-fetch concurrency** — source fetching now uses a small worker pool (default `2`, configurable via `GREEDY_FETCH_CONCURRENCY`) to reduce burstiness while keeping deep-research fast.
12
+
13
+ ### Project structure
14
+ - **Runtime scripts moved to `bin/`** — `search.mjs`, `launch.mjs`, `cdp.mjs`, and `coding-task.mjs` now live under `bin/` for a cleaner repository root.
15
+ - **Path references updated** — extension runtime, tests, extractor shared utilities, and docs now point to `bin/*` paths.
16
+
17
+ ### Packaging & docs
18
+ - **Package file list updated** — npm package now includes `bin/` directly instead of root script entries.
19
+ - **README simplified** — rewritten into a shorter, concise format with quick install, usage, and layout guidance.
20
+
21
+ ## v1.6.5 (2026-04-04)
22
+
23
+ ### Security
24
+ - **Private URL blocking** — Added validation to block requests to localhost, RFC1918 private addresses (10.x, 192.168.x), and .local/.internal domains. Prevents accidental exposure of internal services.
25
+
26
+ ### Features
27
+ - **GitHub URL rewriting** — GitHub blob URLs (`github.com/owner/repo/blob/...`) are automatically rewritten to `raw.githubusercontent.com` for faster, cleaner raw file access.
28
+ - **GitHub repo cloning** — Root and tree URLs now trigger `git clone --depth 1` for complete repo access. Agent can explore files locally instead of parsing rendered HTML. Includes README preview and directory tree listing.
29
+ - **Head+tail content trimming** — Large documents now use smart truncation: keeps 75% from the beginning (introduction) + 25% from the end (conclusions/examples) with `[...content trimmed...]` marker, instead of simple truncation.
30
+ - **Anubis bot detection** — Added detection for the new Anubis proof-of-work anti-bot system (`protected by anubis`, `anubis uses a proof-of-work`).
31
+
32
+ ### Fixes
33
+ - **Perplexity clipboard retry** — Added single retry with 2s delay when clipboard extraction fails, improving reliability.
34
+
35
+ ## v1.6.4 (2026-04-02)
36
+
37
+ ### Fixes
38
+ - **Gemini scroll-to-bottom** — Changed from small random jitter scrolls to actual bottom-of-page scrolls every ~6 seconds while waiting for the copy button. This ensures lazy-loaded content is triggered and the full answer is captured.
39
+ - **Restored missing files** — `.mjs` source files (extractors, search.mjs, launch.mjs, etc.) were incorrectly removed in v1.6.2 cleanup; now properly tracked again.

44
+ - **Debug output removed** — Cleaned up stderr passthrough that was causing CDP connection issues in some environments.
45

+
48
+ ### Fixes
49
+ - **Anti-bot detection evasion** Gemini synthesis now performs gentle scroll every ~6 seconds while waiting for the copy button. This prevents the button from hanging due to anti-bot "human activity" checks.

- # GreedySearch for Pi
2
-
3
- Pi extension that adds `greedy_search`, `deep_research`, and `coding_task` tools -- multi-engine AI search via browser automation. **NO API KEYS needed.**
4
-
5
- Fans out queries to Perplexity, Bing Copilot, and Google AI simultaneously. Returns AI-synthesized answers with deduped sources. Streams progress as each engine completes.
6
-
7
- Forked from [GreedySearch-claude](https://github.com/apmantza/GreedySearch-claude).
8
-
9
- ## Quick Note
10
-
11
- **No API keys required** -- this tool uses Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) to interact with search engines directly through a browser. It launches its own isolated Chrome instance, so it won't interfere with your main browser session.
12
-
13
- ## Install
14
-
15
- ```bash
16
- pi install npm:@apmantza/greedysearch-pi
17
- ```
18
-
19
- Or directly from git:
20
-
21
- ```bash
22
- pi install git:github.com/apmantza/GreedySearch-pi
23
- ```
24
-
25
- ## Quick Start
26
-
27
- Once installed, Pi gains a `greedy_search` tool with three depth levels.
28
-
29
- ```
30
- greedy_search({ query: "What's new in React 19?", depth: "standard" })
31
- ```
32
-
33
- ## Parameters
34
-
35
- | Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
36
- |-----------|------|---------|-------------|
37
- | `query` | string | required | The search question |
38
- | `engine` | string | `"all"` | `all`, `perplexity`, `bing`, `google`, `gemini` |
39
- | `depth` | string | `"standard"` | `fast` (1 engine), `standard` (3 engines + synthesis), `deep` (3 + fetch + synthesis + confidence) |
40
- | `fullAnswer` | boolean | `false` | Return complete answer (~3000+ chars) vs truncated preview (~300 chars) |
41
-
42
- ## Depth Levels
43
-
44
- | Depth | Engines | Synthesis | Source Fetch | Time | Best For |
45
- |-------|---------|-----------|--------------|------|----------|
46
- | `fast` | 1 | no | no | 15-30s | Quick lookup, single perspective |
47
- | `standard` | 3 | yes | no | 30-90s | Default -- balanced speed/quality |
48
- | `deep` | 3 | yes | yes (top 5) | 60-180s | Research that matters -- architecture decisions |
49
-
50
- ## Engines (for fast mode)
51
-
52
- | Engine | Alias | Best for |
53
- |--------|-------|----------|
54
- | `all` | - | All 3 engines -- but for fast single-engine, pick one below |
55
- | `perplexity` | `p` | Technical Q&A, code explanations, documentation |
56
- | `bing` | `b` | Recent news, Microsoft ecosystem |
57
- | `google` | `g` | Broad coverage, multiple perspectives |
58
- | `gemini` | `gem` | Google's AI with different training data |
59
-
60
- ## Streaming Progress
61
-
62
- When using `engine: "all"`, the tool streams progress as each engine completes:
63
-
64
- ```
65
- **Searching...** pending: perplexity, bing, google
66
- **Searching...** done: perplexity, pending: bing, google
67
- **Searching...** done: perplexity, done: bing, pending: google
68
- **Searching...** done: perplexity, done: bing, done: google
69
- ```
70
-
71
- ## Deep Research Mode
72
-
73
- For research that matters -- architecture decisions, library comparisons -- use `depth: "deep"`:
74
-
75
- ```
76
- greedy_search({ query: "best auth patterns for SaaS in 2026", depth: "deep" })
77
- ```
78
-
79
- Deep mode: 3 engines + source fetching (top 5) + synthesis + confidence scores. ~60-180s but returns grounded synthesis with fetched evidence.
80
-
81
- **Standard vs Deep:**
82
- - `standard` (default): 3 engines + synthesis. Good for most research.
83
- - `deep`: Same + fetches source content for grounded answers. Use when the answer really matters.
84
-
85
- **Legacy:** `deep_research` tool still works -- aliases to `greedy_search` with `depth: "deep"`.
86
-
87
- ## Full vs Short Answers
88
-
89
- Default mode returns ~300 char summaries to save tokens. Use `fullAnswer: true` for complete responses:
90
-
91
- ```
92
- greedy_search({ query: "explain the React compiler", engine: "perplexity", fullAnswer: true })
93
- ```
94
-
95
- ## Examples
96
-
97
- **Quick lookup (fast):**
98
-
99
- ```
100
- greedy_search({ query: "How to use async await in Python", depth: "fast", engine: "perplexity" })
101
- ```
102
-
103
- **Compare tools (standard):**
104
-
105
- ```
106
- greedy_search({ query: "Prisma vs Drizzle in 2026", depth: "standard" })
107
- ```
108
-
109
- **Deep research (architecture decision):**
110
-
111
- ```
112
- greedy_search({ query: "Best practices for monorepo structure", depth: "deep" })
113
- ```
114
-
115
- **Debug an error:**
116
-
117
- ```
118
- greedy_search({ query: "Error: Cannot find module 'react-dom/client' Next.js 15", depth: "standard" })
119
- ```
120
-
121
- ## Requirements
122
-
123
- - **Chrome** -- must be installed. The extension auto-launches a dedicated Chrome instance on port 9222 with its own isolated profile and DevTools port file, separate from your main browser session.
124
- - **Node.js 22+** -- for built-in `fetch` and WebSocket support.
125
-
126
- ## Setup (first time)
127
-
128
- To pre-launch the dedicated GreedySearch Chrome instance:
129
-
130
- ```bash
131
- node ~/.pi/agent/git/GreedySearch-pi/launch.mjs
132
- ```
133
-
134
- Stop it when done:
135
-
136
- ```bash
137
- node ~/.pi/agent/git/GreedySearch-pi/launch.mjs --kill
138
- ```
139
-
140
- Check status:
141
-
142
- ```bash
143
- node ~/.pi/agent/git/GreedySearch-pi/launch.mjs --status
144
- ```
145
-
146
- ## Testing
147
-
148
- Run the test suite to verify everything works:
149
-
150
- ```bash
151
- ./test.sh # full suite (~3-4 min)
152
- ./test.sh quick # skip parallel tests (~1 min)
153
- ./test.sh parallel # parallel race condition tests only
154
- ```
155
-
156
- Tests verify:
157
- - Single engine mode (perplexity, bing, google)
158
- - Sequential "all" mode searches
159
- - Parallel "all" mode (5 concurrent searches) -- detects tab race conditions
160
- - Synthesis mode with Gemini
161
-
162
- ## Troubleshooting
163
-
164
- ### "Chrome not found"
165
-
166
- Set the path explicitly:
167
-
168
- ```bash
169
- export CHROME_PATH="/path/to/chrome"
170
- ```
171
-
172
- ### "CDP timeout" or "Chrome may have crashed"
173
-
174
- Restart GreedySearch Chrome:
175
-
176
- ```bash
177
- node ~/.pi/agent/git/GreedySearch-pi/launch.mjs --kill
178
- node ~/.pi/agent/git/GreedySearch-pi/launch.mjs
179
- ```
180
-
181
- ### Google / Bing "verify you're human"
182
-
183
- The extension auto-clicks verification buttons and Cloudflare Turnstile challenges using broad keyword matching -- resilient to variations like "Verify you are human" or localised button text. For hard CAPTCHAs (image puzzles), solve manually in the Chrome window that opens.
184
-
185
- ### Parallel searches failing
186
-
187
- Each search creates a fresh isolated browser tab that is closed after completion, allowing safe parallel execution without tab state conflicts.
188
-
189
- ### Search hangs
190
-
191
- Chrome may be unresponsive. Restart it with `launch.mjs --kill` then `launch.mjs`.
192
-
193
- ### Sources are empty or junk links
194
-
195
- Sources are now extracted by regex-parsing Markdown links (`[title](url)`) from the clipboard text captured after each engine responds -- not from DOM selectors that break when the engine's UI updates. If sources are empty, the engine's clipboard copy didn't include formatted links (Bing Copilot currently falls into this category).
196
-
197
- ## How It Works
198
-
199
- - `index.ts` -- Pi extension, registers `greedy_search` tool with streaming progress
200
- - `search.mjs` -- CLI runner, spawns extractors in parallel, emits `PROGRESS:` events to stderr
201
- - `launch.mjs` -- launches dedicated Chrome on port 9222 with isolated profile
202
- - `extractors/` -- per-engine CDP scrapers (Perplexity, Bing Copilot, Google AI, Gemini)
203
- - `cdp.mjs` -- Chrome DevTools Protocol CLI for browser automation
204
- - `skills/greedy-search/SKILL.md` -- skill file that guides the model on when/how to use greedy_search
205
-
206
- ## Changelog
207
-
208
- ### v1.6.1 (2026-03-31)
209
- - **Single-engine full answers by default** -- `engine: "google"` (or any single engine) now returns complete answers instead of truncated previews. Multi-engine (`all`) still truncates to save tokens during synthesis.
210
- - **Codebase refactored** -- extracted 438 lines from `index.ts` into modular formatters (`src/formatters/`) reducing cognitive complexity from 360 to ~60 and maintainability index from 11.2 to ~40+
211
- - **Removed codebase search confusion** -- clarified that `greedy_search` is WEB SEARCH ONLY (not for searching local code)
212
-
213
- ### v1.6.0 (2026-03-29)
214
- - **Merged deep_research into greedy_search** -- new `depth` parameter: `fast` (1 engine), `standard` (3 engines + synthesis), `deep` (3 engines + fetch + synthesis + confidence)
215
- - **Simpler API** -- one tool with clear speed/quality tradeoffs instead of separate tools with overlapping flags
216
- - **Backward compatible** -- `deep_research` still works as alias, `--synthesize` and `--deep-research` flags still function
217
- - **Updated documentation** -- README and skill docs now use `depth` parameter throughout
218
-
219
- ### v1.5.1 (2026-03-29)
220
- - Fixed npm package -- added `.pi-lens/` and test files to `.npmignore`
221
-
222
- ### v1.5.0 (2026-03-29)
223
-
224
- - **Code extraction fixed** -- `coding_task` now uses clipboard interception to preserve markdown code blocks (was losing them via DOM scraping)
225
- - **Chrome targeting hardened** -- all tools now consistently target the dedicated GreedySearch Chrome via `CDP_PROFILE_DIR`, preventing fallback to user's main Chrome session
226
- - **Shared utilities** -- extracted ~220 lines of duplicate code from extractors into `common.mjs` (cdp wrapper, tab management, clipboard interception)
227
- - **Documentation leaner** -- skill documentation reduced 61% (180 -> 70 lines) while preserving all decision-making info
228
- - **NO API KEYS** -- updated messaging to emphasize this works via browser automation, no API keys needed
229
-
230
- ### v1.4.2 (2026-03-25)
231
-
232
- - **Fresh isolated tabs** -- each search now always creates a new `about:blank` tab via `Target.createTarget` and refreshes the CDP page cache immediately after, preventing SPA navigation failures and stale DOM state from prior queries
233
- - **Regex-based citation extraction** -- all extractors (Perplexity, Bing, Gemini) now parse sources from clipboard Markdown links (`[title](url)`) instead of DOM selectors that break on UI updates
234
- - **Relaxed verification detection** -- `consent.mjs` now uses broad keyword matching (`includes('verify')`, `includes('human')`) instead of anchored regexes, correctly catching button text variants like "Verify you are human" across Cloudflare, Microsoft, and generic modals
235
-
236
- ---
237
-
238
- ### v1.4.1
239
-
240
- - **Fixed parallel synthesis** -- multiple `greedy_search` calls with `synthesize: true` now run safely in parallel. Each search creates a fresh Gemini tab that gets cleaned up after synthesis, preventing tab conflicts and "Uncaught" errors.
241
-
242
- ### v1.4.0
243
-
244
- - **Grounded synthesis** -- Gemini now receives a normalized source registry with stable source IDs, agreement summaries, caveats, and cited claims
245
- - **Real deep research** -- top sources are fetched before synthesis so deep research answers are grounded in fetched evidence, not just engine summaries
246
- - **Richer source metadata** -- source output now includes canonical URLs, domains, source types, per-engine attribution, and confidence metadata
247
- - **Cleaner tab lifecycle** -- temporary Perplexity, Bing, and Google tabs are closed after each fan-out search, and synthesis finishes on the Gemini tab
248
- - **Isolated Chrome targeting** -- GreedySearch now refuses to fall back to your normal Chrome session, preventing stray remote-debugging prompts
