-# Temporary Holding Version
+# Pi Browser Connect
 
-This version is a temporary placeholder for this package. An operational version to replace this has been submitted for review and is awaiting a staged release.
+Connect [Pi](https://pi.dev) to **one explicitly shared tab in your everyday browser**, with your existing login. No cookie copying, cloud relay, or remote-debugging port.
+
+**Initial release:** GitHub source is available; npm publication requires the maintainer's first-publish authentication and trusted-publisher setup. The intended package name is `@kvidzibo/pi-browser-connect`.
+
+## Requirements
+
+Linux, Node **22.19+**, Pi **1.5.2+**, and desktop Chrome/Chromium **125+**. Not Firefox, Windows, macOS, incognito, or sandbox-packaged browsers (Snap/Flatpak).
+
+## Install from source
+
+Keep this checkout at a stable path: the native launcher points to it.
+
+```bash
+git clone https://github.com/kvidzibo/pi-browser-connect.git
+cd pi-browser-connect
+npm ci --ignore-scripts
+pi install "$PWD"
+node native-host/install.mjs path
+```
+
+1. Open `chrome://extensions`, enable **Developer mode**, and **Load unpacked** the `browser-extension` directory printed above.
+2. Register the native host for your browser:
+
+   ```bash
+   node native-host/install.mjs setup chromium lmiednaanfkhmeldhmbgimndmmilcibe
+   # Use "chrome" instead of "chromium" for Google Chrome.
+   ```
+
+3. In Pi, run `/reload`.
+4. Click **Pi Browser Connect** in your browser toolbar (or **Ctrl+Shift+Y**) and **Start local bridge**.
+5. In Pi, run `/browser-connect connect`.
+6. On the tab you want to share, reopen the browser popup, **Refresh**, compare the pairing code, and click **Share this tab with Pi**.
+
+Only the browser popup can grant access. Installation never enables sharing automatically.
+
+After npm publication, the equivalent stable installation is:
+
+```bash
+npm install --global @kvidzibo/pi-browser-connect
+pi install "$(npm root -g)/@kvidzibo/pi-browser-connect"
+pi-browser-connect path
+pi-browser-connect setup chromium lmiednaanfkhmeldhmbgimndmmilcibe
+```
+
+Load the directory printed by `path` as an unpacked extension. This package is not a Chrome Web Store listing. After an update, reload the browser extension and Pi; rerun setup if Node or the package moves.
+
+## Use
+
+Ask Pi, for example:
+
+> Use browser_connect to inspect the tab I shared. Summarize it without changing anything.
+
+The `browser_connect` tool supports `tabs`, `snapshot`, `click`, `type`, `press`, `scroll`, `navigate`, and `screenshot`. Typing **replaces** an input's text. Clicks, typing, keypresses, and navigation require Pi's native confirmation dialog. Noninteractive mutations fail closed.
+
+- `/browser-connect status` — bridge connection status and pairing code.
+- `/browser-connect disconnect` — revoke access.
+- Browser popup **Disconnect** — revoke immediately, including pending actions.
+
+Closing the shared tab, leaving its origin, detaching debugging, closing Pi, switching sessions/branches, or `/reload` revokes sharing. There is no automatic reconnection. A cancelled or timed-out action may already have run; never blindly retry it.
+
+## Privacy and limitations
+
+**This controls your real, signed-in browser. It is not a sandbox.** Shared page content and unredacted screenshots can reach your model provider and remain in Pi transcripts. Avoid sensitive pages.
+
+The browser extension has a powerful `debugger` permission, but its code restricts requests to the shared tab and origin. The pairing code identifies the session; it is not a password. Private Unix socket permissions protect against other OS users, **not malicious code running as you**. Pi approval is enforced by the Pi tool, not a security boundary against other same-user programs.
+
+Snapshots cover the main document only, not iframe or shadow-root controls, and omit input values. Password, file, OTP, and payment-autocomplete fields are excluded from reference-based actions; this is not complete secret detection. Screenshots remain unredacted. Clicks and text replacement use DOM events; applications requiring trusted pointer/input events may not accept them. Keyboard events use Chromium input dispatch.
+
+Same-origin navigation is supported. Cross-origin links are rejected when detectable; script-driven navigation revokes access after the navigation event. This is **not a network firewall**: the page can load resources, submit requests, or open unshared tabs. Internal browser pages and `file:` URLs are unsupported.
+
+## Development
+
+```bash
+npm ci --ignore-scripts
+npm run typecheck
+npm test
+npx playwright-core install --with-deps chromium
+# Also install xvfb, dbus-x11, and xdotool with your system package manager.
+xvfb-run -a dbus-run-session -- npm run test:integration
+npm pack --dry-run
+```
+
+Integration uses a temporary HOME/profile, synthetic local pages, the real native host, and Pi's loader—never your normal browser or a model request. Set `BROWSER_CONNECT_CHROMIUM=/usr/bin/chromium` to use a system browser. Screenshots can be saved under `/tmp/` with `BROWSER_CONNECT_SCREENSHOTS=/tmp/browser-connect-captures`.

+# Architecture
+
+```text
+Pi tool → private Unix socket → native host → Native Messaging → browser worker → shared tab
+```
+
+- `index.ts`: Pi command, native confirmation dialogs, bounded tool output, lifecycle revocation.
+- `native-host/`: dependency-free Node host, client, framed protocol, explicit installer.
+- `browser-extension/`: Manifest V3 popup, in-memory grant, fixed CDP actions and isolated-world DOM snapshots.
+
+There is one browser host per connected extension instance, one Pi socket owner, and one shared tab. Other profiles/instances must disconnect before connecting Pi. A second session cannot replace the owner. Native messages are versioned at handshake and bound to session/request IDs; there are no retries or raw JavaScript/CDP tools.
+
+The browser starts the native host on demand. No systemd service or TCP listener is installed. The extension's native port keeps its worker active; worker/host restart loses grants. Disconnect invalidates the grant synchronously before asynchronous debugger detachment.
+
+Snapshots store node references in a CDP isolated world. Navigation, document replacement, DOM mutation, and actions invalidate references. Each request rechecks the grant, origin, and document where applicable. These checks reduce stale actions; they cannot make a live browser atomic against concurrent user/page changes. Do not manually edit the tab while Pi is acting.
+
+## Local files
+
+Explicit `setup` writes:
+
+- `~/.local/share/pi-browser-connect/host`: package-managed launcher with absolute Node/package paths.
+- `~/.config/chromium/NativeMessagingHosts/com.kvidzibo.pi_browser_connect.json`, or the equivalent `google-chrome` directory.
+
+Native host origins are restricted to the exact extension ID. The manifest's public key keeps that ID stable across source/npm installations; no private signing key is included.
+
+Sockets use `$XDG_RUNTIME_DIR/pi-browser-connect-<uid>`, falling back to `/tmp/pi-browser-connect-<uid>`. The directory must be owned by the user with mode 0700; sockets are 0600. `PI_BROWSER_CONNECT_DIR` overrides the directory for isolated tests and must match in Pi and Chromium. No browsing history or credentials are stored by the bridge.
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+- **Host not found:** rerun setup for the right browser; load the unpacked extension from the package directory. A copied browser-extension folder alone does not install the native host.
+- **No live browser host:** start the bridge in the popup before connecting Pi. If Chromium reports an error, fix setup and click Start local bridge again.
+- **Multiple hosts:** close other browser profiles using this extension. The client does not guess which profile you meant.
+- **Share disabled:** reopen the toolbar popup on a fully loaded HTTP(S) tab. Opening popup.html directly does not grant `activeTab`.
+- **Cannot attach / detached:** close DevTools or competing debugger extensions and share again.
+- **Stale snapshot:** take another snapshot; do not reuse references. Highly dynamic pages may be unsuitable for this MVP.
+- **Moved installation:** rerun setup; do not remove the package while its host is in use.
+
+To remove, disconnect in Pi and the popup, remove the browser extension and Pi package entry, then remove only the two package-managed setup files listed above. Existing browser tabs and login data are not deleted.

+# Publishing
+
+This follows the existing kvidzibo Pi packages: versioned npm publication from `main`, GitHub OIDC trusted publishing, no long-lived npm token.
+
+## One-time bootstrap
+
+The package must first exist on npm. From the reviewed release checkout:
+
+```bash
+npm ci --ignore-scripts
+npm run typecheck
+npm test
+xvfb-run -a dbus-run-session -- npm run test:integration
+npm login
+npm publish --access public
+```
+
+Complete npm's interactive authentication/2FA yourself. Never put credentials in the repository, workflow, or agent prompt.
+
+On npm, open this package's **Settings → Trusted Publisher** and configure:
+
+- Provider: GitHub Actions
+- Owner: `kvidzibo`
+- Repository: `pi-browser-connect`
+- Workflow: `publish.yml`
+- Environment: none
+
+Do not mark bootstrap complete until a workflow has actually published a subsequent version with provenance. Local authentication and registry-side trusted-publisher settings cannot be established by merely adding YAML.
+
+## Subsequent releases
+
+1. Bump `package.json`, `package-lock.json`, and `browser-extension/manifest.json` together; update `CHANGELOG.md`.
+2. Validate and review the PR; merge it manually.
+3. The publish workflow runs the reusable test workflow, publishes a missing npm version with provenance, and creates a GitHub release with an unpacked browser-extension ZIP.
+
+Only an npm `E404` permits a new publication; auth/network errors fail the workflow. Existing npm versions are never overwritten. Use stable semver versions compatible with Chrome's numeric manifest version format.
+
+The ZIP is for **Load unpacked** after extraction, not automatic Chrome Web Store distribution. Browser-store publishing would need a separate developer account and explicit approval.
+
+For the first release, remove the initial-publication notice from README and add the npm and Pi directory links only after verifying they resolve.
