  `RQ-0093` keeps network diagnostics read-only for wrapper page/ref state: standalone `network request …` results and generated `networkSourceLookup` batch rows may contain API/request URLs, but those URLs are not promoted to `details.sessionTabTarget` and do not stale the latest app-page `details.refSnapshot`.

  `RQ-0091` keeps advanced release smoke tests focused on extension behavior instead of external skill routing: the Sauce Demo smoke in [`RELEASE.md`](RELEASE.md#public-sauce-demo-checkout-smoke-prompt) now launches with `--no-skills`, restricts tools to `agent_browser`, and uses bounded release-smoke wording rather than dogfood/exploratory QA language. Runtime guidance remains the concise stop-boundary and exact-artifact-path contract from `extensions/agent-browser/lib/playbook.ts`; no site-specific automation or recipe layer was added. Evidence from the failed high/low local-shop runs showed skill/report drift (`dogfood-output` substitution) and reasoning complexity, not a wrapper command defect, so skill-enabled dogfood remains a separate validation mode.

+ `RQ-0097` keeps upstream subprocess completion reliable when detached descendants inherit the child’s stdio handles: `runAgentBrowserProcess` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/process.ts` uses `watchSpawnedChildCompletion` to observe both Node `exit` and `close`, leaves piped stdio intact during the short post-`exit` grace (`EXIT_STDIO_GRACE_MS`, currently **100 ms**) so normal `close` can still win, destroys those streams only if the fallback resolves, and resolves with exit-code precedence `close` → wrapper timeout (**124**) → post-`exit` fallback for the direct child → spawn failure (**127**) when `close` is still delayed so the Pi tool cannot hang after `agent-browser` has already exited. Human context: [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](ARCHITECTURE.md#direct-subprocess-execution) (subprocess bullet) and [`AGENTS.md`](../AGENTS.md) (**Runtime planning** → **Upstream subprocess completion**); fake coverage: `runAgentBrowserProcess resolves after exit when descendants keep stdio handles open` and `runAgentBrowserProcess returns timeout exit code when descendants keep stdio handles open` in [`test/agent-browser.process.test.ts`](../test/agent-browser.process.test.ts).

  `RQ-0096` ships first-class Electron desktop-app support without adding a generic recipe runtime: top-level `electron` covers wrapper-owned `list`, isolated `launch` with snapshot/tabs/connect handoff, `status`, `cleanup`, and compact current-session or launch-scoped `probe`; `qa.attached` extends the existing QA preset for attached Electron/CDP sessions without introducing `electron.qa`. `launch.handoff` still defaults to `"snapshot"`, while `handoff: "tabs"` is documented as the safer diagnostic starting point when refs/content capture is not needed yet. Host install discovery (`discoverElectronApps`) is macOS/Linux-only today: on Windows `electron.list` reports `platform: "unsupported"` with an empty catalog and name/bundle targets cannot resolve from scans—use `executablePath` (or a host path to the Electron binary) for Windows launch targeting. Discovery adds non-blocking likely-sensitive app annotations plus visible isolated-profile/auth-state warnings; launch output and `details.electron.profileIsolation` state that wrapper launches do not reuse existing signed-in app profiles or attach to already-running authenticated apps, and point agents to the host debug-port launch plus raw `connect` path when signed-in local app state is the goal; launch timeout failures include PID/profile/DevToolsActivePort/timing diagnostics; status/probe add launch/session identifiers, liveness, mismatch/reattach next actions, and dead-launch context for `about:blank`; post-mutation Electron death is upgraded to `tab-drift` with `details.electronPostCommandHealth`; Electron fills can add `details.fillVerification`; Electron `@e…` mutations can add same-URL ref freshness guidance; broad Electron `get text` selectors add scope warnings; cleanup ownership is bounded to wrapper-created launch records and temp profiles; externally launched debug ports stay on the manual `args: ["connect", "<port-or-url>"]` path and remain host-owned. Contract: [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#electron) plus [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#qa) for `qa.attached`; human workflow: [`COMMAND_REFERENCE.md`](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md#electron-desktop-apps) and README common calls; implementation: `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts` and `extensions/agent-browser/lib/electron/`; deterministic efficiency evidence: `electron-lifecycle` and `electron-probe` in `scripts/agent-browser-efficiency-benchmark.mjs`; fake coverage includes Electron schema/probe/mismatch/post-command-health/fill-verification/broad-text/discovery-sensitivity and packaged-sourceLookup cases in [`test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts`](../test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts). This plan is the `RQ-0068` revisit evidence for Electron specifically: [`docs/plans/electron-extension-2026-05-20.md`](plans/electron-extension-2026-05-20.md) documents repeated failure-prone discover/launch/attach/cleanup and multi-call state-probe sequences, plus bounded owner/versioning/test/docs artifacts.

+ `RQ-0097` completes manual CDP attach recovery without making manually launched apps wrapper-owned: successful raw `connect` results append the session-scoped safe tab-list action `list-connected-session-tabs`; `snapshot -i` failures whose upstream error says `No active page` append the safe tab-list action `list-tabs-after-no-active-page` when a session is known. Agents then choose a stable `tab t<N>` target and run `snapshot -i` explicitly; the wrapper does not emit raw-connect or no-active-page snapshot retry ids without a wrapper-observed safe tab id. The runtime source of truth for these recovery ids is `AGENT_BROWSER_RECOVERY_NEXT_ACTION_IDS` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/results/recovery-actions.ts` (re-exported from `shared.ts`). The guidance keeps manual signed-in desktop apps and explicit artifacts host-owned while `close` remains a browser/CDP-session close and `electron.cleanup` remains limited to wrapper-created `electron.launch` records.

  `RQ-0068` remains closed with a no-adopt decision for a reusable named browser recipe runtime. The Electron evidence above justified a narrow typed shorthand and compact probe, not an open-ended recipe layer; future reusable recipes still require concrete repeated workflow evidence and a defined owner/versioning/test plan.

- `RQ-0070` adds bounded locator fallbacks when a compiled top-level `semanticAction` fails with `failureCategory: "selector-not-found"`: `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts` appends `try-*-candidate` entries to `details.nextActions` (and an `Agent-browser candidate fallbacks` block in visible text) only for `fill`+`placeholder`, `click`+`text`, or `fill`+`label`. Other locator/action pairs omit this block; `semanticAction` `select` now uses explicit `selector` plus `value`/`values` and compiles to upstream `select`, not to unverified `find select`. Active-session role/name click/check/uncheck shorthands also get a pre-execution visible-ref resolution pass via one fresh `snapshot -i`, so hidden duplicate upstream `find` matches do not steal the action; the original target remains in `details.compiledSemanticAction` and the executed ref appears in `details.effectiveArgs`. Contract: [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#semanticaction); fake coverage: `agentBrowserExtension returns semantic locator candidates when semanticAction misses` and `agentBrowserExtension resolves semantic role clicks through current visible snapshot refs when available` in [`test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts`](../test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts).

+ `RQ-0098` completes the docs/playbook groundwork for desktop readiness and wait orchestration without adding a runtime primitive or reusable recipe layer. The accepted ladder is: prefer condition waits (`wait --text`, `wait --url`, `wait --fn`, `wait --load <state>`, `wait --download`) when a real condition exists; after raw manual CDP `connect`, inspect `tab list`, select a stable `tab t<N>` surface, then run a condition wait or `snapshot -i`; after wrapper-owned `electron.launch`, use `electron.probe` / `electron.status` when launch health or target mismatch matters; use `qa.attached` for current-session text/selector diagnostics; keep fixed waits as a last resort below the wrapper IPC budget; and treat fixed-wait payloads such as `"waited":"timeout"` as elapsed time rather than completion evidence. Manual signed-in attach docs now also restate that `connect` readiness is not immediate readiness, `close` only closes the browser/CDP session, `electron.cleanup` remains wrapper-owned, and manually launched apps plus explicit artifacts stay host-owned. Human workflow: [`ELECTRON.md`](ELECTRON.md#readiness-and-waits), [`COMMAND_REFERENCE.md`](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md#wait-for-page-readiness-or-downloads), README Electron section, and generated playbook text from `extensions/agent-browser/lib/playbook.ts`. Revisit a first-class host-idle primitive only with repeated desktop smoke evidence that condition waits, `qa.attached`, `electron.probe`, snapshots, and screenshots cannot cover the workflow. Verification: `npm run docs` keeps generated playbook fragments aligned; no runtime `details.nextActions` are part of this RQ.

+ `RQ-0100` makes desktop tab/surface drift recovery machine-readable without adding routine tab-list probes for normal clicks. When existing wrapper state already identifies a target tab, about:blank and tab-drift paths append `list-tabs-for-about-blank-recovery` or `list-tabs-for-tab-drift-recovery`, then `select-intended-tab-after-drift` and `snapshot-after-tab-recovery` when the stable `t<N>` id is known. The implementation reuses `priorSessionTabTarget`, `aboutBlankSessionMismatch`, `sessionTabCorrection`, `openResultTabCorrection`, and existing tab-correction outputs; it does not probe tabs for ordinary clicks beyond the RQ-0086-gated drift paths.

86
+ `RQ-0099` makes semantic fill misses on host-controlled rich inputs recoverable without changing upstream `find` semantics or adding a recipe runtime. When `selector-not-found` recovery already collected an exact current editable `searchbox` / `textbox` ref, `extensions/agent-browser/lib/results/selector-recovery.ts` defines `details.richInputRecovery`, visible `Rich input recovery`, and bounded `focus-current-editable-ref*` / `click-current-editable-ref*` next actions; `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts` only probes the current session snapshot and merges the result. Those next actions never copy the fill text and never press `Enter` or submit; agents should refresh refs, choose the current editable `@ref`, focus/click it, then use `keyboard inserttext` or `keyboard type` with the intended text only after the right input is focused. Contract: [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#details); human workflow: README locator shorthand, [`COMMAND_REFERENCE.md`](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md#selector-strategy), and generated playbook text from `extensions/agent-browser/lib/playbook.ts`; fake coverage: `agentBrowserExtension returns rich input recovery when semanticAction fill misses current editable refs` in [`test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts`](../test/agent-browser.extension-validation.test.ts).

88
+ `RQ-0101` improves compact snapshot usefulness for dense desktop host screens without adding a new mode or dumping all refs inline. `extensions/agent-browser/lib/results/snapshot.ts` still emits the existing visible `Omitted high-value controls` section and `details.data.highValueControlRefIds`, while `snapshot-high-value-controls.ts` selects omitted controls with bounded diversity so editable/searchbox/textbox/combobox controls, named tab/surface controls, and primary action buttons remain discoverable even when many utility buttons and dense host rows compete for the trimmed ref budget.

Other locator/action pairs omit this block; fill recovery now goes through the RQ-0099 current-editable-ref ladder so candidate nextActions do not repeat fill text. `semanticAction` `select` uses explicit `selector` plus `value`/`values` and compiles to upstream `select`, not to unverified `find … select`. Active-session role/name click/check/uncheck shorthands also get a pre-execution visible-ref resolution pass via one fresh `snapshot -i`, so hidden duplicate upstream `find` matches do not steal the action; the original target remains in `details.compiledSemanticAction` and the executed ref appears in `details.effectiveArgs`.

  `RQ-0089` investigated remaining Sauce Demo no-op clicks after RQ-0086. Minimal direct-upstream probes against `agent-browser 0.27.0` reproduced the residual `Finish` behavior without the wrapper: both CSS `click [data-test="finish"]` and `find role button click --name Finish` returned success, but a page-level click listener recorded no click event and the URL stayed on `checkout-step-two.html` after a 1s wait; a separate cart-link check showed normal trusted click events and navigation when the app handled the event. Conclusion: the residual issue is upstream/site interaction rather than wrapper post-click probes. Runtime behavior stays thin/no site-specific DOM-click fallback; docs now state that click success is attempted-action evidence only and agents must verify important mutations with URL/text/state checks or fresh snapshots before continuing.

Expect it on the initial wrapper validation return (when that path still builds the early `details` object) and on the unified result after `agent-browser` runs. It is omitted when the call used `args` only, when compilation never produced argv, and on some in-`execute` error returns that attach a slimmer `details` shape before the unified merge (for example certain session-plan, stdin-contract, tab-pinning, or missing-binary guard paths); compare `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts` where `compiledSemanticAction` is assigned. For active sessions, role/name `click`, `check`, and `uncheck` semantic actions may be resolved through one fresh `snapshot -i` to a current visible `@ref` before execution; this avoids hidden duplicate matches stealing an upstream `find` action.

Those rows are counted in `qaPreset.warnings` (for example `N benign network request failure(s) ignored`) and omitted from the actionable failed-network tally; every other failed request stays actionable.

+ Real Pi custom tools only mark a tool result failed when the tool throws during `execute`; returned `isError` fields are not authoritative. The extension therefore also registers a `tool_result` handler that treats any `agent_browser` result with `details.resultCategory: "failure"` as a real Pi tool error. For normal prose output, it appends `Result category: failure; failureCategory: …; Pi tool isError: true.` to model-visible text. For caller-requested `--json` output, it only patches `isError` and preserves the visible JSON string unchanged so the content remains parseable. The hook treats `--json` as requested when echoed `details.args` or the original tool `input.args` includes that flag; it skips appending the prose notice only when a text content item is non-empty parseable JSON (so mixed or invalid JSON bodies still get the visible line). Implementation: `buildAgentBrowserToolResultPatch` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`. This keeps Pi transcript semantics aligned with the machine-readable result contract, including wrapper-side reclassifications such as `qa-failure` after an upstream-successful batch.

Any step whose first token is in `REF_INVALIDATING_BATCH_COMMANDS` sets a latch that blocks later steps whose first token is in `REF_GUARDED_COMMANDS` and that mention `@e…` refs. A step whose first token is `snapshot` clears that latch for subsequent steps (pre-spawn intent only; it does not wait for upstream success). The invalidating set includes navigation/mutation verbs such as `open`, `goto`, `reload`, `click`, and related upstream commands; same-snapshot `fill` rows stay guarded but do not set the latch, allowing ordinary form-fill batches before a click/submit step. The guarded set is the commands that accept page-scoped refs for interaction (`click`, `fill`, `download`, `scrollintoview`, and others enumerated next to those literals in source).

  `overlayBlockers` may appear after a successful **top-level non-Electron** `click` (the unified `details.command` is `click`, not `batch`/`job`/`qa` flows that compile to `batch`) only when upstream JSON includes a string `data.clicked` ref, the session’s prior pinned tab URL (`priorSessionTabTarget.url`) and the post-click active tab URL both exist and stay equal after the same URL normalization used for ref preflight (trimmed hosts/paths; **`#fragment` dropped** while the query string stays significant), and the wrapper did not apply session tab correction or an about-blank mismatch recovery in the same result. Wrapper-tracked Electron clicks prefer lifecycle health and ref-freshness diagnostics because desktop app chrome produced too many false overlay candidates in dogfood. The post-click side comes from `details.navigationSummary.url`, which the wrapper fills with one read-only `eval` summary (`({ title: document.title, url: location.href })`) only when upstream click JSON omits **both** string `data.url` and `data.title` (`shouldCaptureNavigationSummary` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`). If either field is present as a string on the click payload, that probe is skipped, `navigationSummary` stays unset here, and overlay diagnostics are omitted even when the page did not navigate. The wrapper then issues **one** extra session-scoped `snapshot -i`, scans that snapshot’s `refs` map, and only emits diagnostics when **both** are true: at least one ref has a strong modal role (`dialog` or `alertdialog`), and there are up to **three** separate `button`/`link`/`menuitem` refs whose names match close/dismiss-style patterns (for example “Close”, “Dismiss”, “No thanks”, or a lone `×`). Page-wide text such as “privacy”, “sign in”, or “banner” without a dialog role is not enough, which avoids warning on ordinary same-page menu opens or app button mutations. Each candidate carries `ref` (`@eN`), optional `role`/`name`, exact `click` argv in `args`, and a short evidence `reason`. The struct also includes a `summary` string (one sentence stating that the click left the tab on the same normalized URL and the fresh snapshot shows likely dismiss controls) plus a `snapshot` object (same shape as `details.refSnapshot` after a normal snapshot): on success the wrapper may treat that snapshot as the session’s latest ref map for subsequent calls, so agents should assume refs can move to match this post-diagnostic tree. Visible text appends the same bullets under `Possible overlay blockers`, and `details.nextActions` gains `inspect-overlay-state` plus `try-overlay-blocker-candidate-1`…`3` after any presentation `nextActions` (for example `inspect-after-mutation`); when `details.sessionName` is set, those appended actions use `sessionPrefixArgs` so `params.args` begin with `--session <name>` unless argv already starts with `--session`. This is conservative evidence, not proof the candidate should be clicked; prefer `inspect-overlay-state` first unless the dismiss control is clearly safe.

Successful presentation merges then run `classifyPresentationSuccessCategory` in `presentation/artifacts.ts`, which forces `successCategory: "artifact-unverified"` when `artifactVerification.missingCount` or `artifactVerification.unverifiedCount` is greater than zero before delegating to `classifyAgentBrowserSuccessCategory`.

  - `scrollNoop` after a successful **top-level** `scroll` when wrapper-side read-only probes before and after the command show no change in `window.scrollX` / `window.scrollY` and no change in the sampled prominent scrollable containers. To avoid pre-launching a session without caller startup state, this probe is skipped when the invocation includes startup-scoped flags such as `--profile`, `--state`, `--session-name`, `--cdp`, providers, init scripts, or similar launch settings. Shape: `{ reason: "no-observed-scroll-position-change", message, before, after, recommendations }`; `before` / `after` include viewport dimensions, document scroll dimensions, and up to ten sampled container descriptors plus scroll offsets. Container descriptors use only sample index, tag name, and ARIA role; DOM ids/classes are intentionally not stored. This diagnostic is conservative evidence that the page-level scroll likely missed a nested pane, not proof that every app-specific region is unchanged. Visible text appends `Scroll diagnostic: no observed scroll movement`, and `details.nextActions` gains `inspect-after-noop-scroll` (`snapshot -i`) plus `verify-noop-scroll-visually` (`screenshot`), session-prefixed when applicable.

Shape: `{ reason: "focused-combobox-without-visible-options", message, activeElement, visibleListboxCount, visibleOptionCount, recommendations }`; `activeElement` includes bounded role/tag/expanded/hasPopup/name metadata with normal text redaction. Visible text appends `Combobox diagnostic: focused combobox did not expose visible options`, and `details.nextActions` gains `inspect-focused-combobox` (`snapshot -i`), `try-open-combobox-with-arrow` (`press ArrowDown`), and `try-open-combobox-with-enter` (`press Enter`), session-prefixed when applicable. The diagnostic is deliberately gated to explicit combobox-targeted calls to avoid extra probes or false positives on ordinary clicks/textboxes.

Shape: `{ reason: "ffmpeg-missing-for-recording", dependency: "ffmpeg", command, message, recommendations }`. Visible text appends `Recording dependency warning: ffmpeg not found on PATH`. This is a non-blocking preflight warning: upstream may start recording, but `record stop` needs `ffmpeg` to encode the WebM.

The probe is a read-only `eval --stdin` script (`buildVisibleTextProbeScript` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`) that counts matches, applies a small visibility heuristic (`display`/`visibility`/`opacity` plus non-zero client rects), and may include a redacted `firstVisibleTextPreview`. It is **not** run for page-scoped `@e…` selectors or when the selector string is withheld because `selectorMayExposeSensitiveLiteral` would risk echoing secrets in probe output. `details.selectorTextVisibility` mirrors the primary diagnostic (first sorted entry); when several selectors in one `batch` qualify, `selectorTextVisibilityAll` lists every diagnostic sorted so hidden-first cases precede generic multi-match ambiguity. Appended `details.nextActions` use ids `inspect-visible-text-candidates` and `inspect-visible-text-candidates-2`, … with the probe replayed via `eval --stdin` for each hazardous selector.

  - `evalStdinHint` after a successful `eval --stdin` when caller stdin (trimmed) looks function-shaped to the wrapper’s lightweight detector (`looksLikeFunctionEvalStdin` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`: leading `function` / `async function`, parenthesized arrow `(…) =>`, or a concise `name =>` / `async name =>` form) **and** upstream JSON `data` is an object whose `result` field is a plain empty object (`{}`). Arrays such as `[]` do not qualify. It includes `reason` and `suggestion`; visible output appends `Eval stdin hint` with the same guidance. This is a heuristic for the common mistake of returning a function object instead of invoking it or passing a plain expression, not a JavaScript parser or proof that the page returned no useful data.

  - `timeoutPartialProgress` after `runAgentBrowserProcess` reports `timedOut` (wrapper child-process watchdog) when best-effort recovery finds useful context. `summary` is a short sentence counting how many declared artifact paths exist on disk versus how many were scanned, and whether page context came from live session reads or only from a planned URL (when nothing in the plan declares an artifact path, the fraction may read `0/0` while `currentPage` can still carry session or planned URL context). `steps` lists planned argv from the compiled `job` or `qa` batch plan (`compiledJob` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`, which is only populated for those top-level modes) or, when that object is absent, from the same JSON-array `batch` stdin the tool sends upstream—whether caller-authored or wrapper-generated for `sourceLookup` / `networkSourceLookup` (1-based indices; only JSON-array stdin whose elements are string[] argv arrays is parsed); timeouts on other argv shapes may still emit `currentPage` / summary evidence without `steps`. `currentPage` comes from session-scoped `get url` / `get title` when the session answers, otherwise a fallback URL may be inferred from the last `open` / `navigate` / `pushstate` step in the plan. `artifacts` covers declared output paths on `screenshot`, `pdf`, `download`, and `wait --download` steps (absolute path, existence, optional `sizeBytes`, `stepIndex`). Visible text repeats the same block under `Timeout partial progress`, applying URL and path-segment redaction; the prose `Planned steps` list shows at most six steps, then an omitted-count line when the plan is longer. This is recovery evidence only; missing entries do not prove the upstream step never ran or that no other side effects occurred.

  - `managedSessionOutcome` after a managed-session plan reaches process execution (`buildManagedSessionOutcome` / `formatManagedSessionOutcomeText` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`). Populated when `buildExecutionPlan` injects an extension-managed implicit or fresh `--session` (omitted when the caller already set explicit upstream `--session` or for stateless inspection paths that skip injection). Fields: `status` (`created`, `replaced`, `unchanged`, `closed`, `preserved`, or `abandoned`), `sessionMode`, `attemptedSessionName`, `previousSessionName`, `currentSessionName`, optional `replacedSessionName`, `activeBefore`, `activeAfter`, `succeeded`, and `summary`. Model-visible echo: only when `sessionMode` is `"fresh"` **and** `succeeded` is false, the wrapper appends a line of the form `Managed session outcome: ${summary}` after the primary presentation (including missing-binary failures on a fresh plan, where it follows the missing-binary message and no other diagnostic tail runs). When other trailing diagnostic prose is also emitted in the same result, that line is concatenated **after** semantic-action candidate lines, overlay/selector-visibility tails, and `Timeout partial progress` (see `rawAppendedDiagnosticText` in `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts`). For `"auto"` failures the same struct may appear on `details` without that extra line. When post-upstream analysis (for example **`qa`** preset failure) flips the overall tool result after a successful batch, the implementation only realigns `managedSessionOutcome.succeeded` to the final outcome; `status`/`summary` may still describe the managed-session transition (for example `replaced` while `failureCategory` is `qa-failure`), so read `failureCategory` / `qaPreset` / `batchFailure` alongside this object.

When the recent window has no existing explicit rows—for example only spill/ephemeral inventory or explicit paths already deleted—the array is empty but `summary` / `note` still surface so agents know close is not file deletion.
