+2. **Rust Daemon** - Rust daemon using direct CDP. The default Patchright backend uses a small Node.js host to launch Patchright; `--backend chrome` remains the pure Rust local launcher.
 
 The daemon starts automatically on first command and persists between commands for fast subsequent operations. To auto-shutdown the daemon after a period of inactivity, set `AGENT_BROWSER_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` (value in milliseconds). When set, the daemon closes the browser and exits after receiving no commands for the specified duration.
