 `SAFARI_MCP_RAISE_ON_NAVIGATE=1` is for agents whose whole point is *showing* you a page — a voice assistant answering "open YouTube", a demo driver. Everything else should leave it off: by default Safari MCP works in the background and hands focus back to whatever app you were using, so an agent can drive a page while you keep typing somewhere else.
