+# VNC Plugin — Agent Guide
+
+Interactive browser access via noVNC. Log into sites visually, solve CAPTCHAs, approve OAuth prompts — then export the authenticated storage state for agent reuse.
+
+## Endpoints
+
+- `GET /vnc/status` — check if VNC is running (no auth)
+- `GET /sessions/:userId/storage_state` — export cookies + localStorage as JSON (requires auth)
+
+## Activation
+
+Disabled by default. Enable with `ENABLE_VNC=1` env var or `"vnc": { "enabled": true }` in `camofox.config.json`.
+
+## Key Files
+
+- `index.js` — route handlers only (no `child_process`, no `process.env` reads)
+- `vnc-launcher.js` — process management, config resolution from env vars (`child_process` isolated here)
+- `vnc-watcher.sh` — shell script that detects Xvfb, attaches x11vnc, starts noVNC
+- `vnc.test.js` — unit tests
+- `apt.txt` — system deps (x11vnc, novnc, websockify, etc.)
+
+## Scanner Compliance
+
+`child_process` is in `vnc-launcher.js`, route handlers are in `index.js`, env var reads are in `vnc-launcher.js` — separate files per OpenClaw scanner rules.
+
+## Security
+
+- noVNC binds to `127.0.0.1` by default — set `VNC_BIND=0.0.0.0` to expose externally
+- Set `VNC_PASSWORD` for password-protected access
+- `VIEW_ONLY=1` disables keyboard/mouse input (observation only)
+- Storage state export endpoint requires auth (API key or loopback)
+
+## Architecture
+
+The plugin overrides `ctx.createVirtualDisplay` to use a higher-resolution display (default 1920x1080 instead of 1x1). `vnc-watcher.sh` polls for the Xvfb process, then attaches x11vnc + noVNC on top.
+

+# VNC Plugin
+
+> Originally contributed by [@leoneparise](https://github.com/leoneparise) in [PR #65](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/pull/65). Reworked as a plugin for the camofox extension system.
+
+Interactive browser access via VNC. Log into sites visually, solve CAPTCHAs, approve OAuth prompts — then export the authenticated storage state for reuse by your agent.
+
+## How it works
+
+```
+Camoufox (Xvfb :99, 1920x1080)
+    ↑
+x11vnc (attaches to :99, port 5900)
+    ↑
+noVNC / websockify (port 6080)
+    ↑
+Your browser → http://localhost:6080/vnc.html
+```
+
+The plugin overrides Camoufox's default 1x1 virtual display with a human-usable resolution, then runs a watcher process that detects the Xvfb display and attaches x11vnc + noVNC. The watcher handles browser restarts automatically — when Camoufox relaunches on a new display, x11vnc reattaches.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Docker
+
+```bash
+docker run -p 9377:9377 -p 6080:6080 \
+  -e ENABLE_VNC=1 \
+  camofox-browser
+
+# Open http://localhost:6080/vnc.html in your browser
+```
+
+### Config file
+
+```json
+{
+  "plugins": {
+    "vnc": {
+      "enabled": true,
+      "resolution": "1920x1080",
+      "password": "optional-secret",
+      "viewOnly": false,
+      "novncPort": 6080
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Workflow: interactive login → agent reuse
+
+1. **Start with VNC enabled:**
+   ```bash
+   docker run -p 9377:9377 -p 6080:6080 -e ENABLE_VNC=1 camofox-browser
+   ```
+
+2. **Create a session and navigate to the login page:**
+   ```bash
+   curl -X POST http://localhost:9377/tabs \
+     -H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
+     -d '{"userId": "my-agent", "sessionKey": "default", "url": "https://accounts.google.com"}'
+   ```
+
+3. **Log in visually** via http://localhost:6080/vnc.html — complete MFA, solve CAPTCHAs, etc.
+
+4. **Export the authenticated state:**
+   ```bash
+   curl http://localhost:9377/sessions/my-agent/storage_state \
+     -H 'Authorization: Bearer YOUR_CAMOFOX_API_KEY' \
+     -o storage_state.json
+   ```
+
+5. **Reuse on future runs** — pair with the [persistence plugin](../persistence/) to automatically restore state on session creation:
+   ```json
+   {
+     "plugins": {
+       "vnc": { "enabled": true },
+       "persistence": { "enabled": true, "profileDir": "/data/profiles" }
+     }
+   }
+   ```
+   With both plugins active, the persistence plugin automatically checkpoints storage state on session close and restores it on creation. The VNC plugin's export endpoint also triggers a persistence checkpoint via the `session:storage:export` event.
+
+## API
+
+### GET /sessions/:userId/storage_state
+
+Export the full Playwright storage state (cookies + localStorage origins) for a user's active browser context.
+
+**Auth:** Same as cookie import — requires `CAMOFOX_API_KEY` Bearer token, or loopback access in non-production.
+
+**Response:**
+```json
+{
+  "cookies": [
+    {
+      "name": "session_id",
+      "value": "abc123",
+      "domain": ".example.com",
+      "path": "/",
+      "expires": 1700000000,
+      "httpOnly": true,
+      "secure": true,
+      "sameSite": "Lax"
+    }
+  ],
+  "origins": [
+    {
+      "origin": "https://example.com",
+      "localStorage": [
+        { "name": "theme", "value": "dark" }
+      ]
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+**Errors:**
+- `404` — No active session for the given userId
+- `403` — Missing or invalid API key
+- `500` — Context is dead or storageState export failed
+
+## Configuration
+
+| Source | Variable | Description | Default |
+|--------|----------|-------------|---------|
+| env | `ENABLE_VNC` | Enable the plugin (`1`) | off |
+| env | `VNC_PASSWORD` | x11vnc password | none (open) |
+| env | `VNC_RESOLUTION` | Xvfb screen resolution | `1920x1080` |
+| env | `VIEW_ONLY` | Disable mouse/keyboard input (`1`) | off |
+| env | `VNC_PORT` | x11vnc listen port | `5900` |
+| env | `NOVNC_PORT` | noVNC web UI port | `6080` |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.enabled` | Enable the plugin | `false` |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.password` | x11vnc password | none |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.resolution` | Xvfb screen resolution | `1920x1080` |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.viewOnly` | View-only mode | `false` |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.vncPort` | x11vnc listen port | `5900` |
+| config | `plugins.vnc.novncPort` | noVNC web UI port | `6080` |
+
+Environment variables override config file values.
+
+## Security
+
+⚠️ **VNC is unencrypted by default.** When running in production:
+
+- **Set `VNC_PASSWORD`** — without it, anyone who can reach port 6080 has full browser control
+- **Bind 6080 to localhost** and access via SSH tunnel: `ssh -L 6080:localhost:6080 your-server`
+- **Or use a firewall** to restrict access to port 6080
+- In Docker: `-p 127.0.0.1:6080:6080` binds only to localhost
+
+## System dependencies
+
+The plugin declares its apt dependencies in `apt.txt` — these are installed automatically during `docker build` via `scripts/install-plugin-deps.sh`:
+
+- `x11vnc` — attaches to Xvfb display
+- `novnc` + `python3-websockify` — web-based VNC client
+- `net-tools` + `procps` — display detection utilities
+
+## Events
+
+| Event | Payload | Description |
+|-------|---------|-------------|
+| `vnc:watcher:started` | `{ pid }` | Watcher process spawned |
+| `vnc:watcher:stopped` | `{ code, signal }` | Watcher exited |
+| `vnc:storage:exported` | `{ userId, cookies, origins }` | Storage state exported via API |
+| `session:storage:export` | `{ userId }` | Emitted after export (persistence plugin listens) |
