## Purpose

This is the durable release-readiness checklist for the targeted upstream version (`agent-browser` version in `CAPABILITY_BASELINE.targetVersion`). It maps the canonical capability baseline in [`scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs`](../scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs) to documentation, runtime handling, tests, and validation evidence. Update it whenever the baseline version or inventory changes.

## Maintainer refresh checklist

When upstream ships a new `agent-browser` or the inventory changes:

1. Edit [`scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs`](../scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs) (`targetVersion`, `helpCommands`, `inventorySections`) using real `--help` output from the binary you intend to target (the file never shells out to `agent-browser`).
2. Align human prose and required tokens in [`COMMAND_REFERENCE.md`](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md) outside the generated HTML-comment blocks.
3. Regenerate bounded blocks with `npm run docs -- command-reference write`, then run `npm run docs` (or `npm run docs -- command-reference check`).
4. Update the **Baseline checklist by inventory section** table below so each `CAPABILITY_BASELINE.inventorySections[].id` row still points at the right docs, code, tests, and status notes.
5. Re-run the gates in **Verification evidence** on a machine that matches release expectations (`pi`, `tmux`, model config for lifecycle) and replace the dated status cells with fresh outcomes.

## Audit result

- Target upstream: `agent-browser 0.33.0` (must match `CAPABILITY_BASELINE.targetVersion` in [`scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs`](../scripts/agent-browser-capability-baseline.mjs)).
- Source of truth: `CAPABILITY_BASELINE.inventorySections` in the same file (stable `id` keys: `skills`, `core-commands`, `state-tabs-frames-dialogs`, `network-storage-artifacts-diagnostics`, `batch-auth-setup-ai`, `options-and-env`).
- Status: source and wrapper adaptation target the 2026-07-23 0.33.0 audit. The wrapper classifies 0.32.4+ locator-detail find misses as `selector-not-found`, treats HAR `--content` and a11y `--tags` as command-scoped value flags, documents `derive-client` / HAR body modes / `a11y`, and renders compact a11y summaries; prior helper idle-timeout, post-`tab close` target refresh, and document-direction scroll behavior remain. Upstream 0.33.0 also revives discarded tabs on tab switch.
- 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 leaves autosave ownership upstream. 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, retains its final-URL check as defense in depth, 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)).
- Post-`v0.2.29` review state: commits `eb55320` through `86abbfb` add browser guidance/smoke coverage plus `RQ-0086` click-probe reduction, `RQ-0087` same-snapshot form fill batching, `RQ-0088` current-ref fallback on locator misses, `RQ-0089` direct-upstream click mutation investigation, and `RQ-0090` stop-boundary/artifact-path guidance. Verification gates below were rerun on 2026-05-18 after those tasks landed. Constrained `job` (`RQ-0064`), the lightweight `qa` preset (`RQ-0065`), the experimental `sourceLookup` helper (`RQ-0066`), the experimental `networkSourceLookup` helper (`RQ-0067`), optional Exa/Brave-backed `agent_browser_web_search` with Pi-scoped package config (`RQ-0121`), and agent recovery for search/profile configuration failures (`RQ-0122`) are implemented; see [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#job), [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#qa), [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#sourcelookup), [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#networksourcelookup), and [`TOOL_CONTRACT.md`](TOOL_CONTRACT.md#optional-companion-web-search). Reusable browser recipes (`RQ-0068`) are intentionally not adopted as a runtime surface; see [`ARCHITECTURE.md`](ARCHITECTURE.md#no-reusable-recipe-layer-yet).

## UX/reliability decisions from 2026-05-29 agent feedback

Closed feedback decisions map to their canonical contracts in [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md). Keep this active matrix limited to release-critical status and gates.

Current summary:

| Range | Status | Source of truth |
| --- | --- | --- |
| RQ-0110–RQ-0120 | Agent feedback triage resolved or documented; remaining unsupported areas are environment/upstream-owned. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| RQ-0123–RQ-0127 | Stress-report wrapper fixes shipped; prompt-derived business-action blocking remains intentionally out of scope. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| `agent-browser 0.27.2` baseline | Historical upstream rebaseline shipped; `RQ-0101` remains the compact-snapshot high-value-controls decision. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| RQ-0128 | Upstream `agent-browser 0.27.3` install-only rebaseline shipped; no new wrapper capability adopted. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| RQ-0129 | Upstream `agent-browser 0.29.1` rebaseline shipped; sandbox helpers are documented upstream package guidance, not a wrapper runtime. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| RQ-0130 | Upstream `agent-browser 0.30.1` rebaseline shipped; `wait --url` glob support replaces the wrapper `job.assertUrl` predicate workaround. | [`docs/support-notes.md`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/docs/support-notes.md) |
| RQ-0131 | Upstream `agent-browser 0.31.0` rebaseline shipped; restore workflow and namespace/session lifecycle globals are parsed, documented, and carried through wrapper-managed probes/state. | [`docs/COMMAND_REFERENCE.md`](COMMAND_REFERENCE.md#upstream-0310-rebaseline) |

## Verification evidence

Re-run the gates below before each release; this table records what the closure audit exercised. The 0.33.0 / package 0.2.72 local rebaseline gates passed on 2026-07-23.

| Gate | Evidence | Status |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Default local gate | `npm run verify` checks generated playbook drift, clean-builds generated `dist/`, runs `tsc --noEmit`, unit/fake tests, generated command-reference blocks, and live command-reference sampling. | **Current for 0.33.0:** pass on 2026-07-23 (590 passed, 2 opt-in skips; live command-reference verification passed). |
| Pre-PR local gate | `npm run verify -- pre-pr` composes the default gate with package-content verification. Use before larger local handoffs or PR-ready claims when lifecycle/platform/live dogfood cost is not warranted. | **Current for 0.33.0:** covered by the stronger passing release composition on 2026-07-23; orchestration remains locked by `test/project-verify.test.ts`. |
| Real upstream contract | `npm run verify -- real-upstream` runs the localhost fixture matrix against the real installed `agent-browser` matching the baseline. | **Current for 0.33.0:** pass on 2026-07-23 (2/2 real-upstream tests). |
| Packaged Pi smoke | `npm run verify -- package-pi` validates package contents, loads the packaged `agent_browser` tool without requiring optional Brave config, and executes fake-upstream `--version`. | **Current for package 0.2.72:** pass on 2026-07-23 inside `npm run verify -- release`. |
| Startup profile | `npm run verify -- startup-profile --samples <n>` clean-builds generated `dist/`, records sequential direct package entrypoint import/factory timing in fresh Node processes, and writes `.artifacts/startup-profile/latest.json`. The 250 ms regression gate uses the best fresh-process sample because host scheduling adds only positive elapsed-time jitter; a sustained startup regression must exceed the budget in every sample. The report still records median, mean, p95, and maximum for diagnostics. It must not launch Pi, tmux, mise, npm, browsers, or `agent-browser`; full Pi TUI ready-prompt profiling is intentionally excluded after it proved too invasive for routine verification. Run this opt-in evidence when package layout, the compiled entrypoint, top-level imports, schema registration, or prompt/config startup logic changes. | **Current for compiled entrypoint:** pass on 2026-07-18 (`npm run verify -- startup-profile --samples 3`; median 49.1 ms and maximum 50.1 ms, so every sample was below the 250 ms budget). Full-Pi startup numbers from the unsafe tmux profiler are not accepted as ongoing release evidence. |
| Deterministic dogfood smoke | `npm run verify -- dogfood` (`scripts/verify-agent-browser-dogfood.ts`) drives the native wrapper against a local file fixture through top-level `qa`, `semanticAction`, constrained `job`, screenshot artifact verification, and session close with the real `agent-browser` on `PATH`. | **Current for 0.33.0:** covered by Crabbox `browser-dogfood-smoke` on macOS/Ubuntu/Windows inside `npm run verify -- release` on 2026-07-23. |
| WebGPU and restore autosave | Live 0.31.2 feature probes validate the new upstream paths independently from ordinary browser dogfood. | **macOS:** `doctor --webgpu` passed Apple Metal render/readback and headless red-pixel screenshot checks; the official Hello Triangle sample exposed the Metal adapter and produced a verified non-black screenshot. **Ubuntu image:** `doctor --webgpu --headed --json` passed SwiftShader render/readback and red-pixel screenshot checks with the baked Vulkan/Mesa/Xvfb dependencies. **Restore autosave:** an idle page timer changed localStorage and the namespaced restore file contained the new value before close; test state was removed. **Windows interactive desktop:** post-release validation on 2026-07-15 used a disposable clone of snapshot `57cc3c0d-7d7c-4a4c-9c57-8270d4174679`, a logged-in console session, `agent-browser 0.31.2`, and Edge 150. The headed doctor WebGPU render/readback subcheck passed in 0.99s and its decoded screenshot subcheck passed with `rgb(255,0,0)`; a separate `--webgpu --headed` launch opened the proof page and the Parallels console capture visibly recorded the red triangle (553,500 bright-red pixels; SHA-256 `f5a28f5336cbdfeb0ff557af9425458bddc6b266d3cc6b946de7b101a0b43288`). The full doctor remained nonzero only for the unrelated absence of a separately installed Chrome binary; the explicit Edge executable completed the launch and both WebGPU probes. Local evidence is under `.artifacts/windows-webgpu-interactive/20260715T150903Z/summary.json`; the disposable clone and temporary account were deleted afterward. |
| Efficiency benchmark | `npm run verify -- benchmark` runs deterministic browser workflow accounting plus focused benchmark tests, including JSONL sampling fixtures and job/qa/sourceLookup/networkSourceLookup/Electron scenario coverage. | **Current:** pass on 2026-07-18 (`npm run verify -- benchmark`; 13/13 deterministic scenarios passed). |
| Crabbox platform smoke | `npm run check:platform-smoke` syntax-checks the harness and cheap invariants. `npm run smoke:platform:ubuntu-image` builds the project-owned Linux image, `npm run smoke:platform:doctor` checks Crabbox 0.26.0+ and local target readiness, and `npm run smoke:platform:all` runs doctor first, then fast target-local `platform-build` (`npm run verify -- platform-target`, pack, clean Pi install) plus `browser-dogfood-smoke` on Crabbox `macos`, `ubuntu`, and `windows-native`; see [`platform-smoke.md`](platform-smoke.md). Target artifacts include Crabbox/provider/work-root metadata, and release review also checks provider-specific `crabbox list` commands for leftover leases/clones. | **Current for 0.33.0 / package 0.2.72:** pass on 2026-07-23 inside `npm run verify -- release`; evidence roots are `run-1784844609963-t3gs7f` (macOS), `run-1784844609966-jcdyhb` (Ubuntu), and `run-1784844609967-epvk68` (native Windows). Windows snapshot `crabbox-ready-ab-0.33.0`; Ubuntu image `node24-agent-browser0.33.0`. |
| Release / publication gates | `npm run verify -- release` retains the deepest maintainer path: default, configured-source lifecycle, packaged Pi smoke, and Crabbox persistent-target matrix. Canonical fork tags call `.github/workflows/ci.yml`, requiring core/package checks plus native platform-target and deterministic browser dogfood on hosted macOS, Ubuntu, and Windows before publishing. `prepublishOnly` reruns `verify -- pre-pr` and `npm pack --dry-run`. | **Candidate 0.2.73:** local verification required before tag; hosted native matrix required on the exact tag before npm publication. |
| Configured-source lifecycle | `npm run verify -- lifecycle` (`scripts/verify-lifecycle.mjs`) drives `/reload`, closes and relaunches Pi with the same exact `--session-id`, checks the JSONL session header id, session continuity, slash-command sentinel tokens (`v1` before reload and `v2` after full relaunch because compiled JS package modules are process-cached), persisted spill reachability, and real Pi `tool_result` failure-patch semantics for a QA reclassification with a fake upstream on `PATH`. Default Pi model is `zai/glm-5.2`; default per-step wait is **180000 ms** (`DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS`); override model with `--model <id>` and waits with `--timeout-ms <ms>`. Passthrough flags in [`scripts/project.mjs`](https://github.com/picassio/pi-agent-browser-native/blob/main/scripts/project.mjs): `--keep-artifacts`, `--model`, `--verbose`, and `--timeout-ms` plus a value (for example `npm run verify -- lifecycle --model openai-codex/gpt-5.5:minimal --keep-artifacts --verbose --timeout-ms 600000`). | **Current for 0.33.0:** pass on 2026-07-23 inside `npm run verify -- release`. |
| Quick isolated Pi smoke | `pi --approve --no-extensions --no-skills -e ./extensions/agent-browser/index.ts --tools agent_browser` from trusted repo root; native `agent_browser` only. | **Current for 0.32.2 / Pi 0.80.10:** pass on 2026-07-18 across isolated tmux runs using Artificial Analysis, React, GitHub, and a deterministic select/tab fixture. Snapshot-ref select/click, document scroll (0→700), stable-id/label tab switching, `tab close` target refresh, and post-close interaction passed with zero background restarts, `about:blank` resets, or spurious stale-ref failures; all disposable sessions/tmux/temp files were removed. |

Runtime floor note: package metadata keeps Pi core package peer ranges wildcard per installed Pi package docs, but `pi-agent-browser-doctor` / `npm run doctor` treats `pi --version` below 0.80.6 as a setup failure. `npm run doctor` passed against Pi 0.80.6 on 2026-07-11. This keeps package dependency shape aligned with Pi package loading while still making unsupported host Pi versions a release and first-run blocker.
