  - High-priority support gaps: 2026-05-26 audit found sessionless local commands and command-scoped value flags needed sharper wrapper handling; runtime/tests/docs now cover those paths. The 0.28.0 rebaseline added local `mcp` and `plugin` surfaces plus plugin-backed credential login; wrapper docs/tests mark `mcp` and known `plugin` commands sessionless, with no compatibility shim for older upstream releases. The 0.29.1 rebaseline added upstream `@agent-browser/sandbox` helper-package guidance and stricter `install --with-deps` failure semantics; no new wrapper runtime mode or bundled dependency was required. The 0.30.1 rebaseline fixed upstream `wait --url` glob matching, so constrained `job.assertUrl` delegates glob and exact patterns directly to `wait --url`. The 0.31.0 rebaseline adds restore workflow and namespace/session lifecycle surfaces (`--restore`, restore checks, `--namespace`, `session id`, and `session info`) without adding a wrapper compatibility layer. The 0.31.1 rebaseline fixes upstream React renderer selection for `react tree`, `react inspect`, and `react suspense`; no wrapper runtime change was required. The 0.31.2 rebaseline adds the local-launch-only `--webgpu` preset and `doctor --webgpu`, plus periodic restore-state autosaves controlled by `AGENT_BROWSER_AUTOSAVE_INTERVAL_MS`; the wrapper treats WebGPU as launch-scoped and, for wrapper-owned headed launches, defaults autosave off to avoid upstream 0.33.2's visible temporary storage-collector tabs while preserving save-on-close and explicit opt-in at daemon launch; changing a running daemon requires close plus a fresh launch. The 0.32.0 rebaseline hardens request/worker/popup/WebRTC containment behind `--allowed-domains`, fixes waits against already-complete documents, and adds a separate `@agent-browser/eve` package; the wrapper makes containment launch-scoped, leaves enforcement upstream-owned, and adds no Eve-specific mode. The 0.32.1–0.32.2 rebaseline updates only eve compatibility/packaging, but the full current-surface audit also found the local reference had omitted upstream `read [url]` since 0.30.0; baseline/help sampling, content-first presentation, tab-target preservation, timeout budgeting, docs, and tests now cover it. The 0.32.3–0.32.4 rebaseline adds HAR response-body capture modes, the `derive-client` skill, fixed `find role` implicit-ARIA / accessible-name matching with locator-detail misses, and an advertised `find` action list of `click, fill, check, hover, text` only; the wrapper documents and classifies those surfaces without adding a new input mode. Remaining upstream-owned caveat: some help paths still mention `wait <selector> --state hidden` / `detached`, but runtime probes show those shapes still fail, so wrapper docs keep `wait --fn` disappearance predicates and top-level `uncheck` / `type` / `focus` passthrough instead of `find` for those actions. `wait --download <path>` still reports the requested path without guaranteed on-disk persistence ([#1300](https://github.com/vercel-labs/agent-browser/issues/1300)).

This reloads a URL, not forms, JavaScript memory, or history; live wrong-tab recovery never auto-navigates.

Call-local WebMCP metadata collection preserves helper-only discovery updates without leaking between concurrent sessions or later calls.

  Upstream 0.37 recording compatibility uses one command-local path/URL reader around numeric `--fps` pairs; direct, raw-batch and stdin-batch preflight reject destination collisions before native dispatch. FPS-only calls keep the intended pinned tab, and FPS-only restarts keep refs. Every dispatched start still requires fresh refs to protect older supported natives. `test/agent-browser.artifact-diagnostics.test.ts`, `test/agent-browser.batch-fidelity.test.ts` and presentation tests cover these boundaries. The native contract also checks positive/absent WebMCP hints and first-load header inheritance/clearing without custom tab setup. Short/cold native Ubuntu captures can fail to encode; the FPS fixture explicitly logs 12-second captures and verifies output rather than treating an empty file as a frame.

159
+ `args: ["snapshot", "-i", "--delta"]` retains the native `data.snapshot` object with `kind`, `revision`, and either a full `tree`/`refs`, an unchanged `baseRevision`, or `changes` plus `treeChange`. Full states use the normal snapshot presenter; partial states show native revision data. The wrapper obtains complete refs with one ordinary native snapshot for a partial result, without changing the native delta baseline, so direct/batch follow-up refs and transcript restore remain usable. If that read fails, refs are invalidated rather than recorded as an empty page. `--delta --full` forces a native full baseline. Wrapper search/filter/viewport/diff flags use a full tree instead of native delta output.
160
+
161
+ `screenshot --if-changed` and `--threshold <0-1>` preserve native `changed`, `revision`, `pixelChangeRatio`, and `threshold`. An unchanged response has no path, artifact, or image attachment—even if the caller requested an existing file. It succeeds as an observation, not proof that an evidence file was saved.
162
+
163
+ `record start` / `restart` accept `--cursor`, `--contact-sheet`, and `--contact-sheet-threshold <n>`. Reported `contactSheetPath` values become image artifacts: pending during capture, checked on disk after stop, and attached when verified. The contact-sheet destination shares the active video's reservation and transcript lifecycle; same-call/batch artifact and `outputPath` aliases are rejected before dispatch. A successful direct `record restart` retains the prior take's known contact-sheet path from the existing reservation, checks it on disk, and labels it unverified because native restart omits terminal sheet evidence. Use `record stop` then a new start when verified completion of both artifacts is required. Video receipt handling remains separate. Native `--input-mode <mode>` is a sticky, live-changeable session setting, not a launch flag; per-action pointer options pass through. See the [command reference](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md#upstream-0381-rebaseline).

- The extension always plans normal browser commands with `--json` prepended in `effectiveArgs` so upstream returns structured JSON for presentation and `details`. **Do not** include `--json` in caller `args`; it is unnecessary and can confuse planning or transcript hooks that treat caller-requested JSON differently. Plain-text inspection (`--help`, `--version`) keeps its own output shape. Read-only skills and local/setup commands such as auth/profile/setup, `session list`, and syntactically local state lifecycle operations skip implicit session injection as documented under `sessionMode`. Upstream session/state rows and targets remain visible, and state/config/path operations pass through unchanged.
167
+ When explicitly requested, visible JSON remains parseable for early preparation results too: snapshot/network filters, scroll results, and preparation failures use the same JSON envelope as ordinary execution. Diagnostic metadata remains in `details`; `outputPath` notices do not append prose to JSON. Help/version stays native text.

Raw metadata remains in `details.data`; absent, unavailable, zero or invalid counts add no hint. The wrapper does not run a discovery probe. Native 0.38 also emits bounded catalog updates on normal responses when page tools change. Their names/descriptions and frame/origin metadata are shown as untrusted page data, including an empty catalog after removal; full schemas still require `webmcp list`. Because native updates are emitted once, helper reads also contribute to the current call's `details.webMcpCatalog`. A helper-only update is shown in prose without changing the main command's `details.data`; caller-requested JSON stays parseable. Collection is call-local, including concurrent sessions and script inner calls, not a persistent catalog cache.

  The wrapper keeps this as thin CLI pass-through. `webmcp list` is read-only. `invoke`, `result`, and `cancel` may run page code that mutates, rerenders, or navigates, so the wrapper rechecks the live target, emits the normal `pageChangeSummary` and `inspect-after-mutation` follow-up when applicable, and stores `refSnapshotInvalidation.reason: "page-transition"`; old page-scoped refs remain blocked until a fresh `snapshot -i`. A direct or batched call whose result is still `pending`, or a failed `result` / `cancel` attempt made while that target is unknown, does not treat the immediate URL probe or a same-batch snapshot as stable: `details.sessionTabTargetUnknown` stays true until a successful settlement, `get url`, or explicit navigation verifies the page. Its `details.nextActions` replaces the blocked snapshot suggestion with `verify-page-target-after-pending-webmcp` (`get url`); the action warns that URL inspection does not settle the detached page tool. Inside one `batch --bail`, put `get url` after a completed WebMCP mutation and before `snapshot -i`; a snapshot directly against the unknown target remains blocked. Detached invocation ids and page-returned data remain in `details.data`. When top-level `timeoutMs` is omitted, `webmcp invoke` and `webmcp result` extend the wrapper subprocess watchdog to the upstream `--timeout` value plus a small grace window, including effective raw-argument batch rows (which take precedence over stdin exactly as upstream does).

  - If a session lands on the wrong page or tab, an interaction changes origin unexpectedly, or an open call returns blocked, blank, or otherwise unexpected results, use tab list / tab <tab-id-or-label> / snapshot -i to recover state before retrying different URLs or fallback strategies. For headed demos, put --headed on the first launch with sessionMode=fresh and verify with screenshot/tab/get-url evidence because tool success cannot prove the OS window is visible to the user. For desktop readiness, prefer real conditions first: wait --text, wait --url, wait --fn, wait --load <state>, wait --download, or qa.attached; for disappearance checks, use wait --fn predicates instead of stale upstream-help examples like wait <selector> --state hidden. Use electron.probe/status for wrapper-owned launch health or target mismatch. Fixed waits are a last resort: their duration is positional (wait <ms>, not wait --time <ms>). Use explicit --timeout or top-level timeoutMs for legitimately slow waits, and treat a successful payload like "waited":"timeout" as elapsed time only—verify completion with an observed condition, fresh snapshot, or screenshot.
222
232
  - For feed, timeline, or inbox reading tasks, focus on the main timeline/list region and read the first item there rather than unrelated composer or sidebar content.
223
233
  - For read-only browsing tasks, use read <url> for documentation or other unstructured text without requiring a Chrome page, or read with no URL for rendered active-tab DOM. Prefer the current snapshot, structured ref labels, getters, or scoped eval --stdin when you need interactive structure or targeted page state. Only click into media viewers, detail routes, or new pages when the current view does not contain the needed information.
224
- - For downloads, prefer download <selector> <path> when an element click should save a file; simple loopback anchor downloads are saved to the requested path when the wrapper can resolve an HTTP(S) href. Do not rely on click alone when you need the downloaded file on disk.
234
+ - For downloads, prefer download <selector> <path> when an element click should save a file; native download owns the click and download, including loopback links, generated Blob exports, and redirects. Do not rely on click alone when you need the downloaded file on disk.
225
235
  - On dashboards with nested scroll containers, verify scroll with a screenshot or fresh snapshot -i; if the viewport did not move, details.data.scrolled may be false/noMovement true and you should prefer scrollintoview <@ref> or target the actual scrollable region with scroll <selector> <dir> [px|percent]. For native selects, use select <selector> <value...> (or semanticAction/job select) instead of clicking option refs; for custom comboboxes, a click/semanticAction may only focus the field, so re-snapshot and use keyboard type <text> for focused input, press ArrowDown or press Enter, or visible option refs. Raw type requires both <selector> and <text>.
226
236
  - When using eval --stdin, scope checks and actions to the target element or route whenever possible instead of relying on broad page-wide text heuristics.
227
237
  - When using eval --stdin for extraction, pass the JavaScript through the native tool stdin field, not as an extra args token after --stdin, and return the value you want instead of relying on console.log as the primary result channel. Prefer plain expressions like ({ title: document.title }) or explicitly invoked functions like (() => ({ title: document.title }))(); use outputPath when the eval/get/snapshot data should be saved as a durable local file, but never reuse a screenshot, download, recording, or other browser artifact destination as outputPath. If a function-shaped snippet returns {}, details.evalStdinHint may warn that the function was serialized instead of called. Local file pages and caller-selected output paths are supported when upstream allows them. If get text on a broad CSS selector surfaces details.selectorTextVisibility or selectorTextVisibilityAll, prefer a visible @ref, a more specific selector, or the inspect-visible-text-candidates nextAction over hidden tab content.
228
- - When details.pageChangeSummary is present, use changeType and summary as a compact signal for navigation, DOM mutation, confirmations, or artifacts; when nextActionIds is set, match those ids to entries in details.nextActions (or per-step nextActions inside batch) for concrete follow-up payloads instead of inferring from prose alone. If details.clickDispatch reports a click-dispatch miss, refresh/inspect/retry the real click first; for static local fixtures only, an explicit eval --stdin programmatic .click() can exercise app handlers, but treat it as an untrusted scripted workaround and never use it to bypass stop-before-submit/order/purchase boundaries. If an upstream click failure says the target is covered by another element at the target's click point, use the inspect-overlay-state nextAction to refresh refs and inspect the blocker before deciding whether to retry; do not blindly repeat the blocked click. If a no-navigation click surfaces details.overlayBlockers, inspect the fresh snapshot evidence before using a close/dismiss candidate nextAction; ordinary page chrome without dialog/alertdialog evidence should not trigger this diagnostic.

  `pageChangeSummary` is an optional compact summary for mutation-prone and artifact-producing commands. It includes `changeType` (`"navigation"`, `"mutation"`, `"artifact"`, or `"confirmation"`), `observed`, `command`, a readable `summary`, optional `title`/`url`, optional `artifactCount` or `savedFilePath`, and `nextActionIds`. `observed: false` means upstream dispatched a mutation-capable action but the wrapper did not observe an application change; standalone results also append a visible `Action dispatched; application change unverified` warning. The wrapper maintains explicit command/subcommand capability checks through `isPageChangeSummaryCommand` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/command-taxonomy.ts`: those commands still emit a `mutation`-typed summary when upstream JSON lacks navigation metadata, as long as no stronger signal (artifact, saved path, navigation fields, or pending confirmation) applies. That capability is independent from `invalidatesBatchRefs` and `triggersPostMutationSnapshot`, so artifact summaries like `download` / `screenshot` and guarded-but-non-invalidating `fill` are documented directly in the capability table instead of implied by broad set spreading. Commands outside that set omit `pageChangeSummary` unless the parsed payload shows navigation, a confirmation prompt, saved files, or artifacts—including read-only inspection commands, which normally have no summary unless one of those signals appears. For `batch`, the top-level summary favors artifact rollups when any step produced artifacts; otherwise it synthesizes an observed-or-unverified summary from step evidence. Visible batch output promotes dispatch-only mutation evidence before step details and states that fixed waits are not postconditions. Agents should verify URL/text/state or an external receipt for important mutations before continuing.

- `clickDispatch` may appear after a **top-level non-Electron** direct `click` when the wrapper installed a target-specific DOM-event probe, upstream reported success, and the post-click probe found no trusted DOM event reached the resolved target. Target-specific probes cover `xpath=` targets and role-gated `@e…` refs when the latest wrapper-tracked snapshot has role/name metadata; eligible ref roles are `button`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `radio`, `switch`, and `tab`, and the role/name must be unique in both the saved snapshot and the live candidates. Duplicate-name refs pass through without a probe because snapshot order can change and is not proof of target identity. Raw `find … click` locator calls, including compiled `semanticAction` clicks that still execute as upstream `find`, are not probed because the wrapper has no concrete element before upstream resolves the locator, and document-level probes can falsely fail frame-scoped clicks. It does **not** take a fresh pre-click snapshot because that could recycle upstream refs before the intended click. The wrapper does **not** replay clicks in-page. On a miss it marks the tool failed, appends `Click dispatch diagnostic: …`, and sets `clickDispatch.status` to `"no-native-event-observed"` with `reason: "native-click-produced-no-target-dom-event"`, `nativeEventCount`, and a redacted `target` descriptor (`kind: "xpath"` plus `selector`, or `kind: "accessible"` plus `refId`, `role`, and redacted `name`). `details.nextActions` gains `inspect-click-dispatch-miss` (`snapshot -i`) and `retry-click-after-dispatch-miss` (same upstream click argv, session-prefixed when applicable). If a local static fixture must be exercised despite this diagnostic, a caller may explicitly run a programmatic activation via `eval --stdin` such as `document.querySelector(...).click()`, but that emits an untrusted scripted event and is only a debugging/workaround path; it must not be used as proof that real user-like clicking works or to bypass prompt stop boundaries. This diagnostic is only for standalone top-level direct click calls; `find` locator clicks and `batch`/`job`/`qa` click steps remain upstream-owned behavior.

  `promptGuard` may appear on wrapper-blocked calls only for concrete, machine-checkable prompt requirements. `reason: "requested-artifacts-missing-before-close"` blocks `close` / `quit` / `exit` when the prompt used a direct screenshot/recording creation phrase with a destination such as `here`, `at`, `as`, or `to` and the session artifact manifest has not verified that exact path; a destination heading can carry that intent across contiguous plain or Markdown-bulleted path-only list lines. Bare, review-only, fenced-reference, conditional, permissive/uncertain, directly negated, and Pi clipboard/attachment image/video paths are treated as input, not output requirements, while subordinate requirements such as “do not close until you save” remain output intent. A recording-availability qualifier may precede, appear within, or follow its path/list and is scoped through the next path boundary; if the same path appears more than once, any required occurrence takes precedence. Markdown-link destinations resolve to the destination path. Explicitly optional artifacts are not close requirements. The classifier is deliberately conservative, so use wording such as `Save a screenshot here: <path>` when machine-enforced close blocking matters. Optional recording paths are only required when recording appears available. The wrapper does **not** parse broad user/business intent such as “do not place the order” or “do not post anything” into click/key blocks; agents must follow those instructions themselves. Prompt guards return `failureCategory: "policy-blocked"` and `validationError` text instead of invoking upstream.

The wrapper reclassifies this outcome as `failureCategory: "upstream-error"` rather than claiming the page scrolled. To avoid pre-launching a session without caller startup state, this probe is skipped for small pixel scrolls, calls that would create a managed session only for the probe, and invocations with startup-scoped flags such as `--profile`, `--state`, `--restore`, `--namespace`, `--session-name`, `--cdp`, providers, init scripts, or similar launch settings.

It remains omitted for unrelated explicit user-managed sessions and for sessionless inspection/local paths that skip injection. Successful nested-batch lifecycle rows are evaluated in order: a terminal close reports and replays `status: "closed"` even when aggregate artifact verification makes the tool result fail; a later lifecycle-proven browser launch (including a post-close `record stop`) keeps the session active, an explicitly non-launching diagnostic leaves it closed, and an unknown row stays conservatively active even when the failed batch was the first managed call. Fields: `status` (`created`, `replaced`, `unchanged`, `closed`, `preserved`, or `abandoned`), `sessionMode`, `attemptedSessionName`, `previousSessionName`, `currentSessionName`, optional `currentSessionNamespace`, optional `replacedSessionName`, optional `replacedSessionNamespace`, optional `replacedSessionClosed` (false means automatic close failed and the previous session remains wrapper-owned/restorable for explicit cleanup), `activeBefore`, `activeAfter`, `succeeded`, and `summary` (machine-oriented; may include generated session names). Use `currentSessionNamespace` with `currentSessionName` when following preserved-session recovery actions; retry-fresh actions stay in the attempted namespace. Model-visible echo: when `sessionMode` is `"fresh"` **and** `succeeded` is false, or when `replacedSessionClosed` is false after a replacement, the wrapper appends action-oriented `Managed session outcome` and `Recovery` lines without repeating generated session ids in visible prose; session names remain in `details.managedSessionOutcome`. Failed fresh launches may also append `details.nextActions` such as `run-agent-browser-doctor`, `verify-current-managed-session`, `snapshot-current-managed-session`, or `retry-fresh-managed-session`. When other trailing diagnostic prose is also emitted in the same result, that block is concatenated **after** semantic-action candidate lines, overlay/selector-visibility tails, eval hints/warnings, and `Timeout partial progress` (see `rawAppendedDiagnosticText` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/orchestration/browser-run/final-result.ts`).

Each artifact includes the original saved or requested `path`, resolved `absolutePath`, `kind`/`artifactType`, optional `mediaType`, optional `extension`, best-effort disk metadata such as `exists`, `sizeBytes`, and `updatedAtMs`, plus `requestedPath`, `status`, `cwd`, `session`, `namespace`, and `tempPath` when applicable. `requestedPath` is retained only when known from the caller, separately from reported/resolved locations; a differing screenshot report remains in `tempPath` and is displayed as `Reported path`, whether it is a temporary file or a canonical path alias. Ordinary file `mediaType` values come from bounded PNG/JPEG/GIF/WebP header recognition, not suffixes; unknown, missing, unreadable or truncated headers leave it undefined. Header recognition is not full-file format validation. Inline screenshot attachments use the same byte classifier and existing size limit. Direct-anchor downloads retain their response Content-Type metadata. For commands that create/update artifacts, a path that existed but was not updated during this command uses `status: "stale"`; observational `wait --download` may accept a file completed just before the wait began. Pending `record start` / `record restart` artifacts use `status: "pending"`, omit `exists` rather than reporting false, and include `recordingState: "openRecording"` / `willExistOnStop: true`. Within one Pi extension process, the wrapper keeps an unbounded transcript-backed active-recording reservation index separate from the bounded artifact manifest, keyed by canonical namespace plus session; still-live process-owned reservations survive branch switches, while known closures are appended after tree navigation and during shutdown/reload so a close on one branch cannot be resurrected after returning to an older branch. Persisted active reservations require absolute storage paths and cwd; their display paths may remain relative. If a journal append fails, the next serialized browser boundary, tree navigation, or shutdown retries all current reservations and known closures. `recordingPersistenceWarning` and visible warning text remain present while restart protection is not durable; successful recovery is quiet and cleanup still runs. Artifact lifecycle calls, explicit `wait --download <path>` / `wait -d <path>` destinations, and result `outputPath` writes serialize around the global destination check/update, every successful direct, ordered nested-batch, fresh-replacement, script, Electron, or shutdown close retires only its exact identity at that lifecycle point, and destination reuse is rejected through lexical, existing or dangling symlink, hardlink, full Unicode-fold, or macOS/Windows case aliases. Batch preflight rejects `record start` / `record restart` after a close row because upstream can report a recording that did not start; split those operations into separate calls. A `No recording in progress` stop failure, direct or nested, first checks the matching native receipt once. Retirement preserves the receipt and freshly checked file metadata; it never turns an existing file into a missing file merely because no recording is active. A later successful batch recording row opens its new pending path normally. Batch preflight applies the same distinct-destination rule to the steps upstream will execute: raw argument command strings exclusively when any exist, stdin arrays only otherwise; upstream-ignored stdin rows cannot fail artifact preflight, add pending recordings, or create parent directories. Parent directories are prepared for the effective steps in both modes; raw argument strings are never rewritten, so the screenshot absolute-path normalization and tracked path request apply to stdin rows only. Outer CLI globals are removed before artifact parsing, but native batch row operands stay literal: `pdf --quick ignored.pdf` targets `--quick`, not `ignored.pdf`. Reservation checks, preparation, and requested-path presentation follow that same distinction. Recording path/URL consumers skip complete numeric `--fps` pairs without rewriting argv; native still validates rate, format and extra arguments. FPS-only calls keep the intended pinned tab.

+ - `artifacts` for saved files such as screenshots, `state save` outputs, `diff screenshot` diff images, PDFs, downloads, `wait --download` / `wait -d` files, traces, CPU profiles, completed video recordings, path-bearing HAR captures, and future recording output paths reported by `record start` / `record restart`. Non-file URL payloads such as `data:` / `blob:` / `http(s):` values are not treated as verified local artifacts. For direct artifact commands and batch artifact steps, the wrapper creates parent directories for requested paths before spawning upstream.

  Recording destinations are reserved within one Pi process, not across processes. Use unique paths for concurrent Pi processes: different explicit sessions can overwrite one file even when both `record stop` results are verified. Upstream’s same-session `record start` guard does not reserve the filename across other sessions.

- - `savedFilePath` / `savedFile` for direct `download`, `pdf`, and `wait --download` / `wait -d` saved-file workflows when a host file path is reported or wrapper-verified. Batch results preserve the same fields on the relevant `batchSteps` entry. These fields are metadata only until `artifactVerification` verifies the file. For simple loopback `download <selector> <path>` anchors with a non-ref selector, `details.downloadRecovery.method: "direct-anchor-fetch"` means the wrapper resolved the anchor URL in-session and saved the in-page HTTP(S) response directly to the requested path before using upstream's click/download fallback; non-loopback/profile downloads stay upstream-owned so external provider behavior is preserved.

Batch results preserve the same fields on the relevant `batchSteps` entry. These fields are metadata only until `artifactVerification` verifies the file. Native `download <selector> <path>` always owns the click and download, including loopback links, generated Blob exports, and redirects; the wrapper does not substitute a fetch of an anchor's `href`.

  - `batchSteps[].artifacts` for per-step artifacts in `batch` output; top-level `artifacts` and `artifactManifest` coalesce an earlier pending recording into the later saved, missing, or stale terminal result for the same namespace/session identity. `record restart` includes both the previous recording it finalized (or an explicit missing/stale failure) and the new pending recording; missing/stale terminal rows retire the prior pending manifest row. A successful later `close` / `quit` / `exit` retires an earlier unfinalized pending recording as `subcommand: "close-abandoned"`, clears its stop action, and leaves its file unverified. Batch presentation checks the path: only a confirmed absent file becomes `status: "missing"`; a present or inaccessible file stays unverified. It updates aggregate verification/manifest state consistently; a later successful `record stop` replaces that intermediate abandoned row with its saved artifact. Close also resets ref/page/network-route state produced by earlier rows; later lifecycle-proven browser launches, including `record stop`, can rebuild that state without triggering stale pre-close `about:blank` recovery, explicitly non-launching diagnostics cannot, and unknown later rows stay conservatively active. Per-step history remains unchanged. When any later call on the same namespace/session fails while a recording remains pending, `nextActions` combines its normal recovery with exact `stop-pending-recording` args and visible cleanup guidance; the same applies at top level when a later batch step fails. After reload in a non-Git checkout or with managed restore disabled, a live daemon without current-instance provenance cannot accept a stop. A tracked Electron attachment can rebuild that proof through the live debug-endpoint check described above; generic restore-disabled sessions cannot. That policy refusal includes `managedSessionCleanupOnlyReason: "restore-disabled-daemon-without-provenance"` plus the exact `sessionName`/`namespace`, including on implicit calls. It replaces the impossible stop with `close-pending-recording`, an exact close without `sessionMode: "fresh"`. Close retires the recording as `close-abandoned`; any file it leaves is unverified. Same-instance recordings and supported durable-Git reloads still use stop and normal WebM verification.
949
961
  - `artifactVerification` for a normalized verification summary on the unified result and on each successful `batchSteps[]` row and on failed recording rows whose receipt identifies an artifact. Top-level `batch` verification rolls up all step file artifacts; each step’s summary reflects that step’s nested tool presentation (including its spill paths and manifest slice). It reports `verified`, `verifiedCount`, `missingCount`, `pendingCount`, `unverifiedCount`, and `artifacts[]` entries with `path`, optional `absolutePath`, optional `requestedPath`, `kind` (a normal file artifact kind or `"spill"` for manifest-backed rows), optional `mediaType`, optional `exists`, optional `sizeBytes`, optional `updatedAtMs`, optional `status`, optional `retentionState` / `storageScope` on manifest-derived rows, `state` (`verified`, `missing`, `pending`, or `unverified`), and optional `limitation` (human-readable lifecycle or retention context, for example pending `record start` / `record restart`, missing, stale, or otherwise unverified files, ephemeral spill files, or evicted persisted spills). The summary `verified` boolean is true only when every entry is `verified`. `record start` / `record restart` are `pending` until `record stop`; `state load` may mention a path in command output but is not a saved artifact row.
950
962
  - `fullOutputPath` / `fullOutputPaths` when parse-valid large snapshot output or other oversized tool output is compacted and spilled to a private file; persisted sessions keep that path under a private session-scoped artifact directory for reload/resume, with a per-session byte budget by default; `PI_AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION_ARTIFACT_MAX_BYTES=0` disables automatic eviction. Malformed oversized upstream output is discarded after parsing, is omitted from `details.stdout`, and reports `fullOutputUnavailable` instead of creating a parse-failure spill.
