5
+ ### Pruning — `pruneMode` reaches MCP / bareagent and `read` finally works
6
+
7
+ - **`mode: 'read'` is now a real alias for `mode: 'browse'`** in `prune()`.
8
+ Previously, the CLI (`barebrowse snapshot --mode=read`) and the SKILL.md
9
+ advertised a `read` mode that did not exist — `MODE_REGIONS[mode] ||
10
+ MODE_REGIONS.act` silently fell back to act-mode pruning. Articles, docs,
11
+ and blog posts therefore came back gutted no matter which mode the agent
12
+ asked for, which is why Claude tended to give up and fall back to
13
+ WebFetch. One-line alias at the top of `prune()` fixes it; `act|browse|
14
+ navigate|full` still behave unchanged.
15
+ - **MCP `browse` and `snapshot` tools gained a `pruneMode: 'act'|'read'`
16
+ parameter** (mcp-server.js). Before this, the MCP surface had no way to
17
+ ask for any mode other than `act` — `browse`'s `mode` param was browser
18
+ mode (headless/headed/hybrid), and `snapshot` accepted only `maxChars`.
19
+ Tool descriptions now tell the caller when to pick `read` (content-heavy
20
+ pages: articles, docs, blogs).
21
+ - **bareagent `browse` and `snapshot` tools gained the same `pruneMode`
22
+ parameter** (`src/bareagent.js`) with identical semantics. The `browse`
23
+ handler preserves any caller-supplied default `opts.pruneMode` when the
24
+ tool is called without an arg (`pruneMode ? { ...opts, pruneMode } : opts`).
25
+ - **Auto-hint when act-mode looks suspect.** When `page.snapshot()` or
26
+ `browse()` is called in act mode against a substantial page (raw > 5 KB)
27
+ and the pruned output collapses to under 500 chars AND under 5% of raw,
28
+ the result includes a one-line `hint: act mode dropped most of the page
29
+ — retry with pruneMode='read' …` directly between the stats line and the
30
+ tree. Thresholds are deliberately conservative: an e-commerce or
31
+ search-results page (many interactive elements kept) won't trigger it;
32
+ a paragraph-heavy article will.
33
+ - **Regression test:** `test/unit/prune.test.js` — "aliases mode='read' to
34
+ browse mode" pins the alias contract by asserting `prune(tree, {mode:
35
+ 'read'})` deep-equals `prune(tree, {mode: 'browse'})` and that paragraphs
36
+ survive (the act-mode-style stripping that previously masqueraded as
37
+ read-mode is gone).
38
+
39
+ ## 0.9.0
40
+
41
+ Phase B — every H1–H9 from `docs/02-features/fix-plan.md` shipped one
42
+ commit each, plus the post-Phase-B code-review fixes. Two new modules
43
+ of functionality (iframe pipeline, download capture), two new public
44
+ API methods (`reload`, `onDialog`), six new MCP tools, opt-in `eval`,
45
+ per-tool MCP timeouts, full stealth coverage, and a tightened bot-
46
+ detection heuristic. 23 new regression tests. 123/123 tests pass.
47
+
48
+ See `docs/02-features/fix-plan.md` (Phase B section) and the per-fix
49
+ entries in `docs/03-logs/bug-log.md`. Headlines:
50
+
51
+ ### Iframe / OOPIF support (H2)
52
+ - `Accessibility.getFullAXTree` stops at frame boundaries; pre-H2,
53
+ Stripe, reCAPTCHA, embedded login forms, and most ads were invisible.
54
+ - `createPage()` now wires `Target.setAutoAttach({autoAttach: true,
55
+ flatten: true})` and listens for `Target.attachedToTarget` to register
56
+ every iframe's CDP session in a `framesByFrameId` map (recursive).
57
+ - `ariaTree()` walks `Page.getFrameTree`, fetches each frame's AX tree
58
+ on the right session (child for OOPIF, main with `frameId` param for
59
+ same-origin), splices children under iframe placeholders identified
60
+ via `DOM.getFrameOwner`.
61
+ - Refs are globally unique via a flat counter shared across frames;
62
+ refMap stores `{session, backendNodeId}` so `click`/`type`/`hover`/
63
+ `select`/`upload` route to the correct CDP session. Visible
64
+ `[ref=N]` format unchanged.
65
+ - `--site-per-process` added to launch flags so every iframe (including
66
+ same-origin) becomes OOPIF with a dedicated session — required
67
+ because `DOM.getBoxModel` returns frame-local coords while
68
+ `Input.dispatchMouseEvent` on the parent session uses parent-viewport
69
+ coords; OOPIF gives each frame its own Input domain.
70
+ - `drag()` between elements in different frames now errors rather than
71
+ mixing sessions.
72
+
73
+ ### Attach to a running browser (H1)
74
+ - `connect({port: 9222})` attaches to a Chromium the user already
75
+ started (`chromium --remote-debugging-port=9222`). New
76
+ `attach({port})` helper in `chromium.js` returns a browser handle
77
+ with `process: null, ownedProfileDir: null` so `cleanupBrowser` is
78
+ a no-op — we never kill or clean up a browser we didn't start.
79
+ - Attach mode skips stealth (would persist via
80
+ `addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument`), `Browser.setPermission`
81
+ (browser-wide — would leak deny-states), download capture (don't
82
+ override the user's preference), and the two hybrid-fallback rewind
83
+ branches in `goto()` (we don't own the browser).
84
+ - `close()` still closes the tab we created; the browser keeps running.
85
+
86
+ ### Downloads (H7)
87
+ - `Browser.setDownloadBehavior({behavior: 'allowAndName',
88
+ downloadPath, eventsEnabled: true})` wired in `connect()`. Falls
89
+ back to `'allow'` on older Chrome; silent if neither works (downloads
90
+ still happen, just unobserved).
91
+ - Per-session `mkdtemp('/tmp/barebrowse-dl-*')` cleaned up on `close()`;
92
+ caller-supplied `opts.downloadPath` left alone.
93
+ - Live `page.downloads` array of `{guid, url, suggestedFilename,
94
+ savedPath, state, totalBytes, receivedBytes}`. Listeners registered
95
+ BEFORE `setDownloadBehavior` is sent (event ordering).
96
+ - Skipped entirely in attach mode.
97
+
98
+ ### Stealth completeness (H4)
99
+ - `Network.setUserAgentOverride` strips "HeadlessChrome" from the UA in
100
+ HTTP request headers AND `navigator.userAgent`. UA read from
101
+ `Browser.getVersion` so version/platform fields stay accurate across
102
+ Chromium releases.
103
+ - New JS patches: `WebGLRenderingContext`/`WebGL2` `getParameter`
104
+ spoofs `UNMASKED_VENDOR_WEBGL` / `UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL` to
105
+ Intel pair (the single most-used headless fingerprint);
106
+ `navigator.hardwareConcurrency` = 8; `navigator.deviceMemory` = 8;
107
+ full `chrome.runtime` enum shape (PlatformOs, OnInstalledReason,
108
+ etc.); `Notification` constructor + `permission: 'default'`;
109
+ `Permissions.query('notifications')` mirrors `Notification.permission`
110
+ instead of returning hardcoded `'prompt'`.
111
+
112
+ ### Bot-detection heuristic tightened (H9)
113
+ - Pre-H9 `nodeCount < 50` alone flagged any minimal legitimate page;
114
+ generic phrases `access denied`/`unknown error`/`permission denied`
115
+ flagged real HTTP 4xx/5xx pages, kicking hybrid into a costly
116
+ headed launch for nothing.
117
+ - Split into STRONG_PHRASES (Cloudflare's "Just a moment", "Attention
118
+ Required", "verify you are human" etc. — fire alone regardless of
119
+ size) and WEAK_PHRASES (generic phrases — only fire when ALSO
120
+ tiny: `nodeCount < 30` or `text.length < 50`). Pure low-node-count
121
+ without a phrase no longer flags. `isChallengePage` exported so
122
+ tests can pin the contract.
123
+
124
+ ### New connect() methods
125
+ - **H3** `page.reload({ignoreCache, timeout})` — `Page.reload` wrapper
126
+ with same SPA-fallback semantics as `goBack`/`goForward`. Clears
127
+ `refMap` so pre-reload refs reject.
128
+ - **H8** `page.onDialog(handler)` — handler receives
129
+ `{type, message, defaultPrompt}` and may return `{accept, promptText}`
130
+ to override the default auto-accept. Pass `null` to restore.
131
+ Persistent across hybrid fallback / `switchTab` / `createTab` —
132
+ every `setupDialogHandler` reads the same closure.
133
+ - **H7** `page.downloads` — live array (see above).
134
+
135
+ ### MCP server (H5 + H6)
136
+ - **H5:** new `TIMEOUTS` table replacing the blanket 30s — `goto`/
137
+ `reload`/`wait_for` 60s; `back`/`forward` 30s; `click`/`type`/
138
+ `press`/`scroll`/`hover`/`select`/`drag`/`snapshot`/`eval` 15s;
139
+ `tabs` 5s; `pdf`/`screenshot`/`upload` 45s.
140
+ - **H6:** six new tools — `reload`, `screenshot`, `wait_for`, `tabs`
141
+ (with optional `switchTo: N`), `select`, `hover`. All wired through
142
+ the right `TIMEOUTS[name]`; mutating tools use `{retry: false}`.
143
+ - **H6 opt-in:** `eval` tool registered only when
144
+ `BAREBROWSE_MCP_EVAL=1` is set. `Runtime.evaluate` in an
145
+ authenticated session is the load-bearing risk (cookies/localStorage
146
+ exfiltration). CLI/connect()/daemon keep `eval`; MCP gates it.
147
+ - `TIMEOUTS` and `TOOLS` exported; `runStdio()` exported so `cli.js`
148
+ can launch the JSON-RPC loop explicitly (the earlier auto-start
149
+ isMain guard broke `npx barebrowse mcp` — caught in code review).
150
+ - `serverInfo.version` now reads from `package.json` (was hardcoded
151
+ '0.7.1' — drift caught in same review).
152
+
153
+ ### CLI / daemon parity
154
+ - `barebrowse reload [--no-cache]` and `barebrowse downloads`
155
+ subcommands added.
156
+ - `--download-path=DIR` flag plumbs through `startDaemon` →
157
+ `runDaemonInternal` → `connect()`.
158
+
159
+ ### bareagent adapter
160
+ - Three new tools: `reload`, `wait_for`, `downloads`. `onDialog`
161
+ intentionally stays connect()-only (callback shape doesn't fit
162
+ tool loop).
163
+
164
+ ### MCP config diagnostics (post-Phase-B follow-up)
165
+ - **`barebrowse doctor`** scans every known MCP config location
166
+ (Claude Code user/project/local, Claude Desktop, Cursor, VS Code)
167
+ for `barebrowse` entries. Prints CONFLICT + both endpoint paths
168
+ when scopes diverge. Closes the "Conflicting scopes" warning
169
+ Claude Code surfaces but barebrowse itself was silent about.
170
+ - **`barebrowse install`** detects existing entries with a different
171
+ endpoint and refuses to overwrite without `--force` — was
172
+ silently clobbering, which is how scope conflicts accumulated in
173
+ the first place.
174
+ - **`barebrowse mcp`** writes a one-line stderr banner at startup
175
+ (`barebrowse mcp v<X.Y.Z> | serving from <abs path> | pid <N>`)
176
+ so a stuck agent is diagnosable from the MCP log.
177
+
178
+ ### Test infrastructure
179
+ - **`cleanupBrowser` profile-dir rm hardened** to 25×100ms±jitter
180
+ (was 10×100ms). `--site-per-process` from H2 spawns a renderer
181
+ per iframe; under parallel test load the old 1s window wasn't
182
+ always enough to absorb post-exit file flushing.
183
+
184
+ ### Tests
185
+ - 27 new regression tests across `connect.test.js` (H1, H2, H3, H7,
186
+ H8), `stealth.test.js` (H4 — new file), `mcp.test.js` (H5 timeouts,
187
+ H6 tool surface + eval env-var gating, npx cli.js mcp regression),
188
+ `challenge.test.js` (H9 — new file, 9 cases), `cli.test.js`
189
+ (reload + downloads subcommands, plus the four MCP-config-
190
+ diagnostics tests for doctor + install --force + mcp banner).
191
+ Total: 127 (54 unit + 73 integration).
192
+
193
+ ## 0.8.0
194
+
195
+ Stability release — 11 fixes from the QA review of 2026-05-17. Adds a
196
+ new module (`network-idle.js`), introduces `cleanupBrowser()` helper,
197
+ and forwards `binary`/`userDataDir` opts through `connect()`/`browse()`.
198
+ 17 new regression tests. 97/97 tests pass.
199
+
200
+ See `docs/02-features/fix-plan.md` for the full scope and the per-fix
201
+ entries in `docs/03-logs/bug-log.md`. Headlines:
202
+
203
+ ### Lifecycle & cleanup
204
+ - **F2/F3:** Temp profile dirs no longer leak. New `cleanupBrowser()` helper
205
+ awaits process exit, retries `rmSync` on ENOTEMPTY/EBUSY. On parent
206
+ crash, module-level `process.on('exit'|'SIGINT'|'SIGTERM'|'SIGHUP')`
207
+ handlers SIGKILL all tracked browsers and reap their dirs.
208
+ - **F1:** `page.cdp` escape hatch is now a getter — survives hybrid
209
+ fallback / `switchTab` swapping the underlying session. Previously
210
+ `daemon.js` console + network listeners silently died after any
211
+ fallback.
212
+
213
+ ### Correctness fixes
214
+ - **F4:** `switchTab(idx)` now actually swaps the working CDP session
215
+ (re-attaches and rebinds the closure). Was only foregrounding the tab.
216
+ - **F5:** `goto()` invalidates `refMap` so stale refs from the prior page
217
+ error clearly instead of resolving wrong-element clicks.
218
+ - **F8:** `goBack()`/`goForward()` await `Page.loadEventFired` instead of
219
+ a fixed 500ms sleep — snapshots taken immediately after now reliably
220
+ reflect the new page. Also invalidate `refMap`.
221
+ - **F9:** `waitForNetworkIdle` extracted to `src/network-idle.js`; uses a
222
+ Set of requestIds so orphan finish events can't drive the tracker
223
+ negative and resolve early.
224
+
225
+ ### MCP server
226
+ - **F6:** `withRetry({ retry: false })` for state-mutating tools
227
+ (`click`/`type`/`press`/`scroll`/`back`/`forward`/`drag`/`upload`).
228
+ Idempotent tools (`goto`/`snapshot`/`pdf`) keep the retry default.
229
+ Mutating ops no longer double-submit on a fresh blank page after a
230
+ partial first attempt.
231
+ - `browse`/`goto` tool descriptions reworded to position `browse` as the
232
+ headless fallback (not a competitor to WebFetch) and `goto` as the
233
+ explicit interactive-session entrypoint.
234
+
235
+ ### Tab handling
236
+ - **F7:** `createTab()` wires the dialog handler on the new tab's
237
+ session — JS dialogs in sub-tabs no longer hang navigation forever.
238
+
239
+ ### API
240
+ - **L2:** `connect()`/`browse()` now honor `binary` and `userDataDir`
241
+ opts (forwarded through all `launch()` calls including hybrid
242
+ fallback). `port` opt for attach-to-running-browser is queued for the
243
+ next release (H1 in `fix-plan.md`).
244
+ - **L1:** Dropped dead `strictPatterns` block in `consent.js`.
245
+
246
+ ### Tests
247
+ - 17 new regression tests across `cdp.test.js`, `mcp.test.js`,
248
+ `network-idle.test.js`, `connect.test.js` + a subprocess fixture
249
+ (`test/fixtures/launch-and-wait.mjs`). Total: 97 (44 unit + 53
250
+ integration).

Plus `assess` (privacy scan) if [wearehere](https://github.com/hamr0/wearehere) is installed. Plus opt-in `eval` (`BAREBROWSE_MCP_EVAL=1`) — runs JS in the authenticated session, off by default because it can read cookies/localStorage. Session runs in hybrid mode with automatic cookie injection. Per-tool timeouts (goto/reload/wait_for 60s, back/forward 30s, interactive ops 15s, pdf/screenshot/upload 45s) with auto-retry on transient failures (idempotent only — mutating tools fail loudly to avoid double-submits).
96

97
+ `browse` and `snapshot` accept `pruneMode: 'act'|'read'` (v0.9.1). `act` (default) keeps interactive elements — best for clicking/filling. `read` keeps paragraphs, headings, and long text — best for articles, docs, and content extraction. If act-mode collapses a content-heavy page near-totally, the snapshot includes a `hint: …` line suggesting `pruneMode='read'` so the agent doesn't bail to a separate HTTP fetch.
