+### Fixed
+
+- Apply ordinary credential redaction to page/origin/URL-filtered network results before structured details and `outputPath` exports.
+- Leave every download's click and file transfer to native download, including loopback links, generated Blob exports, and redirects; remove the anchor-fetch shortcut that could save page HTML as an export.
+- Verify click-probe candidate identity with native selector/ref attribute readback, including XPath scope; clean up and abstain when identity is unproven instead of falsely failing a completed click or recommending a duplicate action.
+- Scroll CSS containers instantly before measuring movement so smooth-scroll styles cannot cause false no-movement failures.
+- Preserve explicitly requested JSON for early snapshot/network filters, scroll results, and preparation failures, retaining metadata in `details` without output-file prose; help/version remains native text.
+
+### Tests
+
+- Add native browser regressions for filtered credential redaction, generated Blob download bytes, accessible-name click identity, smooth container movement, and filtered snapshot JSON, alongside deterministic cleanup and early-result output checks.

@@ -467,7 +467,7 @@ Typical pitfalls:
 - Do not reuse `@e…` refs across navigation or in-place rerenders. The wrapper records the latest snapshot refs per session and fails stale/recycled getter and mutation refs, including batched getters, before upstream can silently read or hit a different current-page element; use the session-aware `refresh-interactive-refs` next action.
 - If upstream classifies the failure as `stale-ref` and `details.compiledSemanticAction` is present for a compiled `find` action, `details.nextActions` may list `retry-semantic-action-after-stale-ref` after `refresh-interactive-refs`, carrying the same compiled `find` argv so you can retry the locator-stable target once it is safe to do so. `select` calls that used stale `@refs` only get refresh guidance; use a fresh snapshot or stable selector before retrying (contract in [`docs/TOOL_CONTRACT.md#semanticaction`](docs/TOOL_CONTRACT.md#semanticaction)).
 - If the failure is `selector-not-found`, the wrapper may take one fresh snapshot and add `Current snapshot ref fallback` when that snapshot has exact visible role/name matches for the failed `find` / `semanticAction` target. Non-fill targets can include direct `try-current-visible-ref*` next actions, and semantic click misses can still add bounded `Agent-browser candidate fallbacks` such as `button`/`link` role retries for `text` clicks. `semanticAction` does not expose `uncheck` while upstream `find ... uncheck` is not runtime-supported; use raw `args: ["uncheck", <selector-or-ref>]` after a stable selector or fresh snapshot ref. For semantic `fill` misses on desktop or host-controlled rich inputs, prefer `details.richInputRecovery`: refresh refs, choose the current editable `@ref`, focus or click it, then use `keyboard type` for framework-controlled editors that require real key events. `keyboard inserttext` is paste-like and can change a DOM value without updating application state, so use it only with separate application-state verification. Direct contenteditable fills are verified with `get text` when snapshot metadata proves the target is contenteditable; if replacement did not happen, `details.fillVerification` warns before any submit step. Those recovery nextActions do not copy the fill text and do not press `Enter` or submit; only submit when the user flow explicitly calls for it (same contract link).
-- A successful upstream `click` is not proof that the web app handled the event or changed state. For top-level non-Electron direct clicks on `xpath=` targets and eligible current `@e…` refs, the wrapper may fail the tool with `details.clickDispatch` and a `Click dispatch diagnostic` line when upstream reported success but no trusted DOM event reached the resolved target. Raw `find … click` locator calls 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. `@e…` ref click probes are limited to current snapshot refs with accessible role `button`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `radio`, `switch`, or `tab`, with a unique role/name in both the saved snapshot and the live candidates. Duplicate-name refs remain upstream-owned; snapshot order is not target identity. Use the suggested `inspect-click-dispatch-miss` / `retry-click-after-dispatch-miss` next actions instead of assuming the click mutated the page; when `details.clickDispatch.scrollContainer` is present, use `scroll-target-into-view-after-dispatch-miss` first. When the task depends on a mutation, follow `inspect-after-mutation` / `pageChangeSummary` evidence with a wait, URL/text check, or fresh snapshot before trusting the result; if the target still did not change, retry with a current visible ref or stable selector and report the workflow issue instead of silently continuing. For static local fixtures where the user only needs to exercise app code, an explicit `eval --stdin` programmatic click such as `document.querySelector("#demo").click()` can be a diagnostic workaround, but treat it as an untrusted scripted activation rather than proof a real user click works, and never use it to bypass user instructions. Respect explicit user stop boundaries yourself: if the user says to stop before order/post/purchase/submit, gather evidence on that page and do not click the final action.

 - A successful upstream `click` can deliver no input at all on some sites. Reproduced against `https://www.saucedemo.com/` with upstream `agent-browser` 0.34.0 and no wrapper involved: when every CLI invocation in the flow is spaced ~0.6s apart, the React add-to-cart click reports success while **zero** DOM events reach a capture-phase listener and the cart badge never updates (0/5 runs succeeded, versus 4/5 with no spacing). A single idle gap is harmless (5/5); only sustained spacing across the flow triggers it. In that state a scripted `document.querySelector(...).click()` still works and updates the badge, so the page and its handlers are fine and the input never arrives; retries, `scrollintoview`, headed mode, and re-navigation do not recover it. This looks site-specific — React TodoMVC and react.dev were unaffected under the same pacing and command count. Wrapper calls do more per-command work than raw CLI calls, so they sit in the slow regime more often. Running the interaction steps as one `batch` keeps them inside a single upstream process and succeeded 5/5; prefer `batch` for consecutive real-app click flows, and treat a click whose `pageChangeSummary`/`navigationSummary` shows no change as unproven. When a `wait --url` or `assertUrl` times out after a suspected missed click, use the `fresh-session-after-url-wait-timeout` next action (`sessionMode: "fresh"` + `open about:blank`): replace about:blank with the target URL and replay the flow as one batch in a fresh session instead of retrying the wait.
 - A successful `snapshot -i` can surface `Possible overlay blockers` immediately when refs already contain strong dialog/alertdialog evidence plus close/dismiss controls. If a **top-level** `@e…`/`ref=` click succeeds (unified command `click`, not a `batch` step), upstream reports `data.clicked`, and `details.navigationSummary.url` stays on the same tab URL under the same normalization as ref preflight (fragment-insensitive), the wrapper may take one extra `snapshot -i` and add `Possible overlay blockers` with `details.overlayBlockers` (`candidates`, `summary`, optional `snapshot` refresh for refs) plus session-aware `inspect-overlay-state` / bounded `try-overlay-blocker-candidate-*` next actions when that snapshot shows strong modal context (`dialog` / `alertdialog`) and close/dismiss-like controls. Page-wide words like privacy, sign in, or banner alone do not trigger this diagnostic. The unchanged-URL check compares the prior pinned tab target with `details.navigationSummary.url`; CSS selector clicks do not run this overlay probe. Also skipped when tab correction or about-blank recovery already ran on that result. Separately, when upstream rejects a click because another element covers the target's click point (`is covered by` … `at its click point`), the wrapper keeps `failureCategory: "upstream-error"` and adds only the session-aware `inspect-overlay-state` snapshot action; it does not retry the blocked click or guess a dismiss control without fresh snapshot evidence. This covers direct `click`, `semanticAction` click, raw `find` clicks (including `nth` and an omitted action that defaults to click), and failed `batch`/`job` rows; it does not diagnose silent input-dispatch failures.
 - If `get text <selector>` reads a non-ref, non-simple-id CSS selector with multiple matches or a hidden first match while visible matches exist, including successful `batch` steps, the wrapper may add `Selector text visibility warning`, `details.selectorTextVisibility` (plus `selectorTextVisibilityAll` for multiple batched warnings), and `inspect-visible-text-candidates` next actions; the warning names the matching `details.nextActions` id. Prefer a visible `@ref`, a scoped selector, or a targeted `eval --stdin` over hidden tab content.

 This is an experiment, not a guarantee. React hints require a session opened with `--enable react-devtools`, and many builds do not expose useful sourcemap/source metadata; `status: "no-candidates"` is common when nothing matched, and `status: "unsupported"` only when no candidates were found **and** a compiled `react` batch step failed (if DOM or workspace search still produced candidates, you get `candidates-found` instead).

When the wrapper has seen `network route` in the same session, pending fetch/XHR rows or CORS-looking errors that match the route surface `details.networkRouteDiagnostics` plus executable follow-ups to inspect the request or start HAR capture; same-origin/CORS-correct fixture retry guidance stays in prose. Network diagnostics are read-only for wrapper page state: request URLs in `network request` or generated `networkSourceLookup` batches do not replace the session’s active page target or invalidate page-scoped refs from the app page.

The wrapper creates missing parent directories for direct artifact paths such as `state save`, screenshots, PDFs, downloads, and `wait --download`. For simple loopback `download <selector> <path>` anchor links with HTTP(S) `href`, it can save the in-page response directly to the requested path before falling back to upstream click/download behavior; non-loopback/profile downloads stay upstream-owned. With current upstream `agent-browser`, treat `details.savedFilePath` as upstream-reported metadata and confirm `details.artifacts[].exists` / `details.artifactVerification.verified` before relying on the requested `wait --download <path>` file being present on disk; non-file download payloads such as `data:` URLs are not verified local artifacts.
+When a user gives exact artifact paths for screenshots, recordings, downloads, PDFs, traces, or HAR files, use those paths or explicitly report why the artifact was unavailable; do not silently substitute a different path in the final report. The wrapper creates missing parent directories for direct artifact paths such as `state save`, screenshots, PDFs, downloads, and `wait --download`. Native `download <selector> <path>` always owns the click and download, including loopback links, generated Blob exports, and redirects; the wrapper does not fetch an anchor's `href` instead of clicking it. With current upstream `agent-browser`, treat `details.savedFilePath` as upstream-reported metadata and confirm `details.artifacts[].exists` / `details.artifactVerification.verified` before relying on the requested `wait --download <path>` file being present on disk; non-file download payloads such as `data:` URLs are not verified local artifacts.
 
 For evidence-only screenshots or QA captures, branch on `details.artifactVerification` and `details.artifacts` before reporting PASS/FAIL; a pre-existing path from an artifact-producing command that was not updated during the command fails as `status: "stale"` instead of being accepted as fresh evidence (`wait --download` remains observational). Inline image attachments are optional when size limits allow—do not require vision review unless the user asked for visual inspection. If the latest prompt names exact required artifact paths, browser close can be blocked with `details.promptGuard` until those artifacts are saved and verified.

@@ -37,7 +37,7 @@ Why:
 The extension should:
 - resolve `agent-browser` from `PATH`
 - invoke it with native Node `spawn` on POSIX and `cross-spawn` on Windows. The latter handles Windows `PATH`/`PATHEXT`, `.cmd` shims and argument escaping without PowerShell or wrapper-owned command reordering. Caller commands and helper probes retain empty operands, literal doublequotes, command/subcommand adjacency and explicit default `--namespace ""`; the selected shim still owns upstream architecture selection. Keep piped stdin/stdout/stderr and terminate the full Windows shell/agent-browser process tree with `taskkill /T /F` on timeout or abort before falling back to the direct child signal. Missing commands use the spawner's `ENOENT`, not a parsed shell-error string
-- inject `--json`
+- inject `--json`; caller-requested JSON also uses the existing `buildJsonVisibleContent` envelope for early snapshot/network filters, scroll results, and preparation failures, retaining metadata in `details` and keeping output-file notices out of visible JSON. Help/version stays native text
 - complete each upstream invocation when the direct `agent-browser` child exits even if Node delays `"close"`: piped stdio can stay referenced by longer-lived descendant processes, so `runAgentBrowserProcess` watches `exit` and `close` together, leaves stdio intact during a short post-`exit` grace so normal `close` can still win, destroys streams only when the post-`exit` fallback fires, and prefers `close` codes then wrapper timeout (`124`) over signal-shaped `exit` codes (`watchSpawnedChildCompletion` / `resolveSpawnedChildExitCode` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/process.ts`) so the tool cannot hang after the CLI process has already terminated
 - support optional stdin only for `eval --stdin`, `batch`, `auth save --password-stdin`, and wrapper-generated `batch` stdin from top-level `job`, `qa`, `sourceLookup`, or `networkSourceLookup`, rejecting other command/stdin combinations before launch; top-level `electron` never accepts caller `stdin` (see [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#electron))
 - support optional top-level `outputPath` for successful browser results and failed/pending/recovered recording receipts. Recording exports retain success/error, original attempt, native data, artifacts and recovery provenance; they do not treat a written receipt as a successful video. Other successful results write `details.data` (or model-facing text when no structured data exists) to a caller-requested local file and reporting `details.outputFile`, without changing upstream argv semantics or overwriting a browser artifact when both destinations resolve to the same file. If presentation compacted direct data, a batch result row, or a whole batch, apply the relevant command-specific redactor before spilling and rehydrate each full pre-compaction value only from its matching live wrapper-manifest spill; fail without writing compact metadata when any required spill is unavailable or untrusted
@@ -186,7 +186,7 @@ Practical policy:
 - set an idle timeout on extension-managed sessions as a backstop for abnormal exits or cleanup failures, and apply that same `AGENT_BROWSER_IDLE_TIMEOUT_MS` value to every subprocess targeting that owned session (including wrapper helper snapshots, tab lists, and navigation-summary reads); caller-owned sessions instead retain native config/environment idle policy because changing the launch environment between calls can make upstream restart the background browser, discard the active tab, and invalidate fresh refs
 - for wrapper-owned implicit sessions only, set a transcript- and checkout-scoped `AGENT_BROWSER_RESTORE` key on compatible calls so cookies and web storage can survive idle shutdown, reload, and resume. Explicit caller sessions, restore/state choices, profiles, upstream config, file access, launch arguments, environment variables, local pages, output paths, and close arguments remain upstream-owned and pass through unchanged. `piab-*` names are not reserved; session/state lists and restore identifiers are not filtered or redacted. The wrapper validates only its automatic restore checkout/storage identity and coordinates same-daemon reuse so its own restore pools cannot mix. Ambiguous page-target transitions still require live `get url` verification before content calls. The current v3 ticket-claim lock is the only managed-daemon coordination protocol; no earlier lock bridge or compatibility path remains.
 - redact snapshot spill payloads before writing them, clean up process-private temp spill artifacts on shutdown, and keep persisted-session spill files in a private session-scoped artifact directory for `details.fullOutputPath` after reload/resume, with a 32 MiB per-session budget by default; `PI_AGENT_BROWSER_SESSION_ARTIFACT_MAX_BYTES=0` skips persistent-spill enumeration and eviction without changing temporary spill cleanup
-- keep explicit screenshots, downloads, PDFs, traces, HAR captures, and recordings written to caller-chosen paths on disk after a successful upstream close command (`close`, `quit`, or `exit`); before artifact-producing commands run, create missing parent directories for requested host paths, and for simple loopback HTML anchor downloads with resolvable HTTP(S) hrefs the wrapper may save directly to the requested path before upstream fallback. When the bounded `details.artifactManifest` has entries, successful close commands also surface `details.artifactCleanup` and a compact `Artifact lifecycle` note pointing to structured explicit paths so operators remove files with normal host tools—the native tool does not delete arbitrary user paths (`extensions/agent-browser/lib/orchestration/browser-run/diagnostics.ts`, `getArtifactCleanupGuidance`); contract in [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#details), checklist `RQ-0079` in [`SUPPORT_MATRIX.md`](SUPPORT_MATRIX.md)

 - reconstruct the current branch-visible extension-managed session, every transcript-proven still-active wrapper-owned managed identity, page-scoped refs, newest-revision aggregate artifact manifest, unbounded active-recording reservation events, and Electron launch records from the active transcript branch on `session_start` and `session_tree` so later default and explicit off-current calls keep following owned browsers after resume/reload or branch switching; restore also honors successful explicit `--session <wrapper-owned> close` rows, terminal nested-batch close outcomes even when aggregate artifact verification failed, and `electron.cleanup` managed-session steps so closed wrapper-owned sessions are not resurrected; a nested close invalidates the pre-close page target so a lifecycle-proven relaunch at `about:blank` is not treated as stale focus drift; explicit lifecycle evidence that a later diagnostic did not launch a browser preserves the terminal close, while any later row—including a failed row—whose lifecycle reports a browser launch keeps active/attached provenance; failed-step presentation persists only that bounded launch boolean so transcript replay reaches the same decision, missing lifecycle evidence remains conservatively active even on the first managed call, successful closes clear wrapper trace/profiler ownership before ordered later successful rows can rebuild it, namespace-scoped `close --all` clears all matching managed/attached/page/ref/route/trace/recording ownership, and recording starts after close are rejected before spawn
 - keep active recording destination reservations separate from the bounded metadata-only artifact manifest. The same journal retains native recording IDs and start windows; native receipts, including failures, flow through existing artifact metadata and verification. A stop timeout/no-recording result gets one two-second native `session info` query matching namespace/session, ID/path or effective batch start window. Recovery needs terminal native encoder success plus a matching verified file; filesystem presence alone is insufficient, old same-path receipts cannot verify a new take, and freshness starts at capture rather than status-query time. Original attempts and unrelated batch failures remain visible. No second ledger, recorder, sidecar or runtime ffprobe is added. The process-wide map is keyed by canonical namespace/session identity, rebuilt from append-only branch events, and retained for still-live process-owned recordings across branch switches. Shutdown/reload appends both terminal tombstones and still-live reservations onto the current branch so restart cannot resurrect a cross-branch close or lose a live-daemon reservation. One artifact lifecycle/output queue makes global destination preflight and reservation updates atomic across otherwise-concurrent caller-owned session queues. Every successful direct, ordered nested-batch, managed replacement, script, Electron, or shutdown close retires its exact identity at that lifecycle point; only the newest pending recording path remains authoritative across current transition replay (including same-timestamp restart rows), and recording starts after a nested close are rejected because upstream can falsely report success. Existing and dangling symlink ancestry, hardlink inode identity, full Unicode/platform case folding, and same-call `outputPath` comparison prevent alias reuse. One shared command-token projection mirrors upstream's full-argv global cleanup before artifact, recording, and presentation parsing; wait-download detection removes only the first timeout pair, follows upstream long/short mode precedence, and accepts both `--download` and `-d` wherever download mode wins; screenshot destinations use upstream's exact-flag, selector-prefix, case-sensitive extension, slash-path, and second-positional rules, while retaining the wrapper's intentional slash-bearing hidden-workspace path normalization. Recording path/URL consumers share a command-local reader that skips complete numeric `--fps` pairs, cursor/contact-sheet switches, and contact-sheet threshold values without rewriting argv or treating them as outer globals; native owns rate, format and extra-argument validation. Current recording transitions are replayed directly; artifact manifests are not treated as reservation events
 - keep process-owned cleanup registries for extension-managed sessions and wrapper-launched Electron records separate from the current branch-visible view; `session_tree` restore and wrapper-owned browser commands are serialized with managed-session work, while caller-owned explicit-session commands are serialized by process-local queues keyed to effective canonical namespace/session across prepare helpers (explicit namespace argv overrides inherited `AGENT_BROWSER_NAMESPACE`, including an explicit empty default) and main execution. macOS and Windows additionally normalize and case-fold namespace and session components to match case-insensitive daemon identity. Different caller-owned identities remain concurrent, except namespace-scoped `close --all` drains and exclusively barriers managed plus matching caller-owned work before clearing global namespace state; nested helpers never re-enter the outer queue, policy/route/artifact deltas merge across unrelated managed-state commits, and a separate branch-restore generation guard prevents stale completions from overwriting newer branch-visible state; aggregate artifact results use monotonic revisions so transcript replay cannot lose a concurrently completed entry. Branch switches still must not drop resources the current Pi process owns and must keep fresh-session allocation monotonic

Same-snapshot `fill @e…` rows are guarded but do not themselves set that invalidation latch, so ordinary form fills can precede a click/submit row in one batch—see [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#details) for the agent-visible contract and failure text; typed per-session tab/ref/pinning state lives in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/session-page-state.ts` and is updated from `extensions/agent-browser/index.ts` after each tool result
 - native 0.37 owns first-document setup inheritance for new tabs; the wrapper does not copy headers, user agents or other browser setup itself. The page-summary formatter displays native positive WebMCP availability while retaining raw details; it adds no discovery probe
 - when a direct or batched WebMCP call returns `status: "pending"`, or `result` / `cancel` fails while that target is unknown, keep its tab target unknown and discard same-call snapshot evidence instead of treating an immediate post-dispatch URL probe as stable; `webmcp result` / `cancel`, `get url`, and explicit navigation remain available while unknown; replace the generic blocked snapshot action with `verify-page-target-after-pending-webmcp` (`get url`), and let a completed `batch --bail` use that verification before `snapshot -i` to re-establish both target and refs

The probe covers `xpath=` targets and current `@e…` / `ref=` refs whose latest stored `refSnapshot.refs` role is `button`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `radio`, `switch`, or `tab`; it requires a unique role/name in the saved snapshot and the live candidates instead of taking a fresh pre-click snapshot that could recycle upstream refs. Duplicate-name refs pass through without a probe: their old ordinal is not target identity.

Missing or mismatched identity, including XPath/frame scope mismatches, cleans up the probe and lets native click run without dispatch verification; candidate naming heuristics alone are never proof. Duplicate-name refs pass through without a probe: their old ordinal is not target identity. The probe is intentionally skipped for CSS selector clicks, unresolved `find … click` locators, and `batch`/`job`/`qa` click steps
 - derive narrow prompt guards only for concrete evidence invariants: explicitly requested screenshot/recording output paths block browser close until the artifact manifest verifies those paths, while bare inbound attachment paths remain inputs. The wrapper intentionally does not infer broad business/user intent from prompt text such as order/payment/post boundaries; agents must follow those instructions themselves. The artifact guard is bounded preflight policy (`details.promptGuard`, `failureCategory: "policy-blocked"`), not a reusable browser recipe layer
+- keep the existing page/selector scroll API; explicit CSS-container movement uses `Element.scrollBy` with `behavior: "instant"` before measuring offsets so smooth-scroll CSS cannot cause a premature no-movement failure
 - reject direct and effective batch `scrollintoview text=...` / `scrollinto text=...` before dispatch because current upstream can falsely report success without movement, while leaving help forms untouched; return only native recovery (`find text ... hover` or fresh snapshot/ref), leaving CSS, XPath, and current-ref behavior upstream-owned
 - after successful `get text` on a qualifying non-ref CSS selector, optionally issue one read-only `eval --stdin` probe per selector when multiple DOM matches or a hidden first match with visible peers could misread tabbed or off-screen content; simple id selectors and sensitive-looking literals skip this probe.

 - caller-owned sessions honor native `AGENT_BROWSER_SOCKET_DIR` unless `PI_AGENT_BROWSER_SOCKET_DIR` overrides it, with the same socket integrity checks.

The actual filesystem root `/` is supplied by the trusted operating environment: a directory without group/other write bits is accepted regardless of its reported owner, which can be unmapped in a Linux user namespace. Existing root-owned sticky-directory acceptance is unchanged. This boundary does not protect against whoever controls the root filesystem. Every non-root ancestor still needs trusted ownership and permissions, including the destination ancestry of root-owned aliases; a matching overflow UID is not trusted. Android/Termux uses `/data/data/<package>/piab`, treats the owner-only app-data directory as the trust anchor, permits the app's matching private uid/gid ancestry, compacts generated managed identities to one 80-bit digest so ordinary namespace plus fresh-session paths remain within the limit, and places policy-lock coordination under `os.tmpdir()` because Android `/tmp` is shell-owned and inaccessible

 Treat `@eN`, `eN`, and `ref=eN` selector refs as page-scoped. Ref-looking fill/type text, select values, paths, and keyboard/mouse data remain literal. After a successful `snapshot`, the wrapper records the latest refs and page target for that session; getter or mutation ref commands such as `get text @e4`, `click @e4`, `select @e5 chocolate`, or batch steps with old refs fail with `failureCategory: "stale-ref"` when the page target changed or the ref is absent from the latest same-page snapshot. If a session `snapshot -i` fails with `No active page`, the wrapper invalidates prior refs for that session; later mutation-prone `@e…` calls fail before upstream until a successful fresh `snapshot -i` records refs again. Inside `batch` stdin JSON, the wrapper also walks steps in order before spawn: steps whose first token can navigate or mutate set a latch; a later step whose first token is `snapshot` clears that latch for following rows; guarded steps that still mention `@e…` after an uncleared latch fail with the same `stale-ref` bucket without launching upstream. Same-snapshot form fills and native form-control steps are allowed before a click or submit step, so `fill`, `check`/`uncheck` checkbox or radio refs, checkbox/radio `click`/`tap` refs, `select` combobox refs, then a final submit `click` can run from one snapshot. Split dynamic or autosubmit forms with a fresh snapshot if a control interaction rerenders the targets. Follow the `refresh-interactive-refs` next action (it includes `--session <name>` when needed) and prefer stable `find` or `semanticAction` locators when navigation or rerendering is likely.

-A successful `click` result means upstream reported a target, not that the app definitely handled the event.

Raw `find … click` locator calls 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. Direct `@e…` click probes are role-gated to current snapshot refs whose accessible role is `button`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `radio`, `switch`, or `tab`, with a unique role/name in both the saved snapshot and the live candidates. Duplicate-name refs pass through without a probe because their old ordinal does not prove target identity. If the probe evidence shows the target is outside a nested scroll container or viewport, `details.clickDispatch.scrollContainer` and `scroll-target-into-view-after-dispatch-miss` point to `scrollintoview <target>` before retry. When the workflow depends on a mutation, use `details.pageChangeSummary`, a wait, URL/text extraction, or a fresh `snapshot -i` before trusting the state; if nothing changed, retry with a current visible ref or stable selector and report the workflow issue.

For top-level non-Electron direct clicks on `xpath=` targets and eligible current `@e…` refs, the wrapper installs a bounded target-specific DOM-event probe when it can; when upstream reports success but no trusted event reaches the resolved target, it fails the tool and exposes `details.clickDispatch` plus a `Click dispatch diagnostic` line with explicit retry/inspect next actions (no in-page click replay). Raw `find … click` locator calls 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. Direct `@e…` click probes are role-gated to current snapshot refs whose accessible role is `button`, `checkbox`, `menuitem`, `radio`, `switch`, or `tab`, with a unique role/name in both the saved snapshot and the live candidates. For both ref and XPath candidates, the wrapper requires native `get attr <original-selector> <marker>` to read back a per-probe temporary DOM marker on that candidate. Missing or mismatched identity (including frame/XPath scope mismatches) cleans up the probe and lets the native click run without dispatch verification. Duplicate-name refs pass through without a probe because their old ordinal does not prove target identity.

 Successful `snapshot -i` results can also surface `Possible overlay blockers` when their own refs already show dialog/alertdialog context plus close/dismiss controls, so agents can detect likely obstruction before clicking. When a **top-level** `@e…`/`ref=` click succeeds (not a `click` hidden inside a `batch`/`job` tool call—the unified command must be `click`), the upstream payload includes `data.clicked`, no `details.clickDispatch` diagnostic fired for the same result, and the wrapper sees `details.navigationSummary.url` unchanged after the same normalization it uses for ref guards (**`#fragment` ignored**), it may run one extra `snapshot -i` and surface `Possible overlay blockers` plus `details.overlayBlockers` (`candidates`, `summary`, and a `snapshot` map that can refresh `refSnapshot`) when that snapshot shows strong modal context (`dialog` / `alertdialog`) **and** up to three close/dismiss-like controls; page-wide words such as privacy, sign in, or banner alone do not trigger it. The URL check compares the session’s prior pinned tab target to `details.navigationSummary.url`. CSS selector clicks do not run this overlay probe. The diagnostic is skipped if the wrapper already applied tab-focus correction or about-blank recovery on that result. Appended `inspect-overlay-state` / `try-overlay-blocker-candidate-*` entries in `details.nextActions` preserve namespace/session context (`--namespace <namespace> --session <name>` when namespaced, otherwise `--session <name>` when the session is named), same as other session-scoped follow-ups. Treat `inspect-overlay-state` as the safe first follow-up; only use a `try-overlay-blocker-candidate-*` next action when the candidate is clearly the control you intend to close. A click that upstream rejects because another element covers the target's click point (`is covered by` … `at its click point`) remains `failureCategory: "upstream-error"`, but receives the same session-aware `inspect-overlay-state` snapshot action. This includes direct `click`, `semanticAction` click, raw `find` clicks (including `nth` and omitted default-click actions), and failed `batch`/`job` rows. That failed-click path does not retry the original click or synthesize a dismiss candidate before a fresh snapshot provides evidence; it is separate from silent input-dispatch failures.

 For quick smoke/QA checks, use top-level `qa`. It clears enabled network/console buffers and snapshots any page-error residue after the unreliable upstream clear, then opens the target URL and gives immediate post-load console/page-error callbacks a bounded 150 ms settle, waits for page readiness, checks expected text/selector, then inspects fresh network requests, console messages, and page errors only if preceding assertions pass, and can capture an evidence screenshot. Successful reset rows are labeled as reset-scoped diagnostic output. If final page-error rows match a nonempty post-clear baseline, QA is non-pass with “page-error check could not be verified”: identical new errors can replace old rows in the native FIFO buffer without changing the result. Those matches are not proof of new application errors. Definitely new rows, including errors after an empty baseline, count separately as page errors; a clean final buffer can pass. Explicit `checkErrors: false` omits this check for a more limited smoke test. The preset compiles to `batch --bail` so a missing text/selector assertion fails crisply instead of letting slower diagnostics burn the wrapper watchdog. Expected text compiles to bounded visible-text `wait --fn … --timeout 5000` predicates after load so dense pages can pass on visible headings/copy without dumping `body` text; missing text reports a crisp QA failure. The readiness wait defaults to `loadState: "domcontentloaded"`; set `loadState` to `"load"` or `"networkidle"` only when that stricter state is useful and the site is not expected to keep background requests alive. QA network diagnostics classify failed requests by likely impact and list failed rows first in the network preview: actionable document/script/API-style failures fail the preset, while common low-impact browser icon misses such as `favicon.ico` are surfaced as warnings (`qaPreset.warnings`) so they do not fail an otherwise healthy page. Successful QA with no failed checks returns compact model-visible prose (page URL/title when known, checks run, optional screenshot verification) while keeping the full step matrix in `details.qaPreset` and `details.batchSteps`. Failed QA presets report `details.resultCategory: "failure"`, `failureCategory: "qa-failure"`, show compact failure reasons with the full matrix in `details.batchSteps`, and real Pi sessions treat the diagnostic as a failed tool result. Prose output also gets a model-visible result-category line including `Pi tool isError: true`; caller-requested `--json` output keeps the JSON string parseable and relies on the patched `isError` plus `details` fields.
 
-The same classification drives plain `network requests` presentation: when any row counts as failed (HTTP status ≥ 400, `failed: true`, or a string `error`), model-facing text starts with a line like `Network failure summary: 0 actionable, 1 benign low-impact (1 total).`, and each preview line can end with an impact tag such as `[benign: low-impact browser icon asset]` or `[actionable: document, script, API, or non-benign request failure]`. When safe request IDs are present, `details.nextActions` adds bounded read-only follow-ups such as `network request <id>`, `networkSourceLookup` for actionable failed rows, `network requests --filter <path>`, `network requests --clear` before a repro, and `network har start`; prefer those payloads over rebuilding request-id commands from prose. For aggregate buffers, the wrapper accepts `network requests --current-page` / `--current-origin` to render only rows matching the active page origin, or `--current-url` for exact active document URL matching; it strips those wrapper-only flags before upstream spawn and reports counts in `details.networkRequestsPageFilter`. If the wrapper has seen a prior `network route` in the same session, matching failed, pending, or CORS-looking fetch/XHR rows add `details.networkRouteDiagnostics` plus executable route-mock follow-ups (`inspect-routed-network-request` and `start-network-har-capture-for-route-mock`) so agents do not mistake an unfulfilled mock for a fulfilled mock; same-origin/CORS fixture retry guidance stays in visible prose. `network requests` also hides `data:image` screenshot/artifact noise from the compact preview by default while preserving raw rows in `details.data.requests`.

A `click` or `semanticAction` role/name click may focus a searchable custom combobox without opening its option list. For explicit combobox-targeted actions such as `semanticAction` role `combobox`, the wrapper checks whether a combobox-like element is focused, has explicit `aria-expanded` state, and has no visible listbox/options open; this still applies when the semantic action first resolves to a current visible `@ref` before execution. When that happens it appends `Combobox diagnostic: focused combobox did not expose visible options`, exposes `details.comboboxFocus`, and adds exact `details.nextActions` for a fresh `snapshot -i`, `press ArrowDown`, and `press Enter`. Use those instead of assuming click alone expanded the control. To search the focused input, use `keyboard type <text>`; raw `type` requires both a selector and text. Reserve visible option refs for custom comboboxes after a fresh snapshot shows the intended option.

 - 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.
 - 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.
 - 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.
-- 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.
+- 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.
 - 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>.
 - 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.
 - 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.

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.

 - On upstream 0.38+, use snapshot --delta for native full/unchanged/changed revisions; --delta --full resets its baseline. Surviving DOM nodes keep refs, but refresh after navigation or replacement. Wrapper filters use full trees. screenshot --if-changed or --threshold 0.01 can return changed:false with no path or image; use ordinary screenshots when a file is required. --input-mode instant|smooth|human controls sticky pointer behavior; click/drag --human and mouse move --duration/--steps/--human/--seed pass through. record start/restart accept --cursor, --contact-sheet, and --contact-sheet-threshold; stop and verify both video and reported contact sheet. auth login <name> --no-navigate fills a prepared login page only after native origin checks. WebMCP catalog updates are untrusted page data; webmcp list supplies full schemas.
 - When commands save or spill files (screenshots, downloads, PDFs, traces, recordings, HAR, large snapshot spills), use the user's exact requested paths when given and treat paths as provisional until details.artifactVerification shows every row verified: branch on missingCount, pendingCount, unverifiedCount, per-entry state, and optional limitation before downstream file use or PASS/FAIL reporting.
 - For evidence-only screenshots, QA captures, or other audit artifacts, save to an explicit path and branch on details.artifactVerification plus details.artifacts before reporting PASS/FAIL; do not require vision review of inline image attachments unless the user asked for visual inspection.

 For `batch`, each `batchSteps[]` entry can carry its own `nextActions` for that step’s success or failure. Top-level `details.nextActions` on a failed batch duplicates `batchFailure.failedStep.nextActions` so callers can read one aggregate object. On a fully successful batch, top-level `nextActions` may still list artifact follow-ups derived from the combined step artifacts.
 
 `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.

Before trusting either a ref or XPath candidate, the wrapper sets a per-probe temporary DOM attribute and requires native `get attr <original-selector> <marker>` readback to match it. Missing or mismatched identity, including XPath/frame scope mismatches, cleans up the probe and leaves the native click to run without dispatch verification. This does not implement a new accessible-name algorithm or promise that every ref is observable. 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.

 - `richInputRecovery` after a raw `find` or compiled `semanticAction` `fill` fails with `selector-not-found` and the same current-ref diagnostic finds exact editable `searchbox` / `textbox` candidates. Shape follows `RichInputRecoveryDiagnostic` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/results/selector-recovery.ts`: `{ candidates, inputMethodHint, nextActionIds, summary, target }`, where each candidate has `ref`, `role`, `name`, `focusArgs`, `clickArgs`, and `reason`. Visible text appends `Rich input recovery`, and `details.nextActions` gains ids from `getAgentBrowserRichInputRecoveryNextActionIds`: `focus-current-editable-ref` / `click-current-editable-ref` (or numbered variants). These actions are bounded to focus/click/inspect-style recovery: they do not include the fill text, do not press `Enter`, and do not submit. After the right current editable ref is focused, use `keyboard type` for framework-controlled editors that require real key events. Use paste-like `keyboard inserttext` only with separate application-state verification, and submit only when explicitly required by the flow.
 - unsupported `scrollintoview text=<label>` / `scrollinto text=<label>` fails before upstream dispatch, directly or inside an effective raw/stdin batch row, because current upstream can report success without moving the page; help forms pass through unchanged. Visible failure text and `details.nextActions` both return the session-scoped `scroll-semantic-text-target` (`find text <label> hover`) when hover side effects are acceptable, plus `refresh-refs-for-scroll-target` (`snapshot -i`) before `scrollintoview <@ref>`. CSS, `xpath=...`, and current `@e…` targets remain native pass-through.
-- `scrollPage` when the wrapper moves `document.scrollingElement` directly for `scroll <up|down|left|right> [px|percent]` or `scroll to end|top`; it temporarily disables smooth scrolling so immediate before/after offsets are reliable, returns `{ request, result }`, and includes `exitCode: 0` on success. Directional document no-movement falls through to upstream wheel behavior so nested panes still work. Explicit CSS-container calls `scroll <selector> <up|down|left|right> [px|percent]` remain wrapper-handled and report `details.scrollContainer`.

All scroll helper shims are skipped when startup-scoped flags are present so the requested browser/profile launches before any helper command.
 - `scrollNoop` after a nominally successful large **top-level** upstream scroll fallback on an existing or fresh managed session 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. 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. 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 starts with `Scroll completed with no observed movement`, appends `Scroll diagnostic: no observed scroll movement`, sets `details.data.scrolled` to `false` / `details.data.noMovement` to `true`, and `details.nextActions` gains `inspect-after-noop-scroll` (`snapshot -i`) plus `verify-noop-scroll-visually` (`screenshot`), session-prefixed when applicable.
 - `comboboxFocus` after a successful explicit combobox-targeted `click` / `fill` / `find … click|fill` (for example `semanticAction` with role `combobox`, including when that semantic action resolves through a current visible `@ref` before execution) when a read-only probe sees the active element is combobox-like, `aria-expanded` is explicitly present (`false` or `true`), and no visible `listbox` / `option` / menu option elements are open. 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.
 - `recordingDependencyWarning` after a successful `record start` or `record restart` when the wrapper cannot find an executable `ffmpeg` on the Pi process `PATH`. 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 warning after native success, not a preflight or encoding check. Native 0.37 validates ffmpeg at startup; older supported natives may defer failure. Treat the pending output as unverified, stop and check its result, then install ffmpeg before starting a new recording.
@@ -951,10 +953,10 @@ Additional structured fields can appear when relevant:
 - `managedSessionHeadedAutosaveDisabled: true` is the narrower compatibility marker that the targeted session uses the wrapper's default interval `0`, rather than an explicit caller interval. It accompanies `managedSessionHeadedAutosaveInterval: "0"` on active rows and remains omitted for explicitly configured autosave.
 - `managedSessionOutcome` after a managed-session plan reaches process execution (`buildManagedSessionOutcome` / `formatManagedSessionOutcomeText` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/orchestration/browser-run/session-state.ts`). Populated when `buildExecutionPlan` injects an extension-managed implicit or fresh `--session`, and also when a successful explicit `--session <current-wrapper-managed-session> close` closes the current managed session. 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`). 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, or a fresh `job`/batch opens the requested page and then a later step fails, the managed-session transition still reflects that the fresh browser became current. The visible recovery says the fresh launch became current and points to `failureCategory` / `qaPreset` / `batchFailure` for the post-launch failure instead of telling the agent that the old session was preserved.
 - `imagePath` / `imagePaths` for Pi inline image attachments from the **`screenshot`** command (including batched screenshot steps). **`diff screenshot`** still records the diff output as an `image`-kind entry in `details.artifacts`, but it does **not** populate `imagePath` / `imagePaths` or attach an inline image: only plain `screenshot` is treated as a trusted live-capture path for automatic inlining (`isTrustedScreenshotOutput` in `extensions/agent-browser/lib/results/presentation/artifacts.ts`).

Non-file URL payloads such as `data:` / `blob:` / `http(s):` values are not treated as verified local artifacts.

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`.

   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.
+- `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. 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.
 - `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.
 - `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.
