+issue: "#21"
+---
+
+## Phase 10: Agent session DX improvements
+
+**Motivation:** Issue #21 reports friction points observed during ~100 bproxy commands in a real agentic LinkedIn capture session. Four accepted requests reduce boilerplate in automation workflows without violating the sensor/actuator boundary.
+
+**Source decisions:**
+
+- [ADR-017](../../decisions.md#adr-017-sensoractuator-boundary) — extension is sensor+actuator only
+- [ADR-022](../../decisions.md#adr-022-extension-control-routing-for-background-tab-actions) — background-handled tab actions
+- [ADR-023](../../decisions.md#adr-023-first-class-links-extraction-and-phase-5-sessiontab-errors) — first-class `links` read action
+- [ADR-024](../../decisions.md#adr-024-no-arbitrary-page-eval-and-no-scroll-target-inference) — no strategy in extension
+- [ADR-027](../../decisions.md#adr-027-daemon-owned-element-target-aliases-for-readact-workflows) — element handle aliases
+- [ADR-028](../../decisions.md#adr-028-temporary-files-confined-to-bproxy_home) — temp files stay under BPROXY_HOME
+
+---
+
+## Scope
+
+| # | Feature | Layer | Risk |
+|---|---------|-------|------|
+| 1 | `tab activate` command | shared + CLI + service + extension | Low — follows `tab.pin` pattern exactly |
+| 2 | `links --href-contains` filter | shared + CLI + extension | Low — content-script read-time predicate |
+| 3 | Response truncation fix + `links --offset` | CLI investigation + shared + CLI + extension | Medium — requires root-cause analysis |
+| 5 | `text --after` marker extraction | CLI-local post-processing | Low — no protocol change |
+
+**Rejected (see issue review):**
+- `scroll --until-end` — violates ADR-017 and ADR-024 (agent owns loop strategy)
+- `--activate-if-needed` on destructive actions — violates ADR-017 (hidden recovery strategy)
+
+---
+
+## Feature 1: `tab activate` command
+
+### Intent
+
+Give agents an explicit, one-shot way to foreground a tab before issuing destructive actions. Eliminates the `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` → `screenshot --activate` → retry workaround.
+
+### Design
+
+`tab.activate` is a background-handled browser action (same tier as `tab.pin`, `tab.close`). It uses `chrome.tabs.update(tabId, { active: true })` and optionally focuses the window with `chrome.windows.update(windowId, { focused: true })`.
+
+**Wire shape:**
+
+- Action name: `tab.activate`
+- Params: `{ tab?: TabHandle }` — same pattern as `tab.pin`. Omitted = session's bound tab.
+- Result: `{ tab: TabHandle; activated: true }`
+- Destructive: yes (changes browser visual state)
+- Forwarded to extension background SW (not content script)
+
+**No auto-activation side-effect.** The existing `screenshot --activate` flag remains unchanged. No other action gains implicit activate behavior.
+
+### Implementation touchpoints
+
+**shared/**
+- `actions.ts` — add `'tab.activate'` to `Action` union. Add params and result entries. Add to `ForwardedActionParams`.
+- `protocol-shape.assertions.ts` — add compile-time assertion for `tab.activate` shape.
+
+**cli/**
+- `commands/tab/activate.ts` — new leaf command. Accepts `--tab tN` (optional). Follows `tab/pin.ts` structure exactly.
+- `command-registry.ts` — classify `tab.activate` as destructive.
+- `bproxy.ts` — register `tab activate` subcommand under the `tab` group.
+
+**service/**
+- `routes/tab-actions.ts` — add `tab.activate` to `isTabMediated`. Add an explicit `if (cmd.action === "tab.activate")` branch in `handleBoundTabAction` **before** the fallback `return await handleTabClose(...)` — the current code uses an implicit else for close, so any new branch must precede it.
+- `schemas.ts` — add `tab.activate` to forwarded action set and params schema.
+
+**extension/**
+- `background/forwarded-actions.ts` — add `'tab.activate'` to `BrowserAction` type and both action arrays.
+- `background/browser-actions.ts` — implement `handleTabActivate`: call `tabs.update(tabId, { active: true })`, then `windows.update(windowId, { focused: true })`. Return `{ activated: true }` with current page state.
+- `background/browser-actions.ts` — add a new `BrowserWindowsSeam` interface (separate from `BrowserTabsSeam`) with a single method: `update(windowId: number, updateInfo: Record<string, unknown>): Promise<unknown>`. Inject it into `BrowserActionHandlerDeps`. This keeps tab and window concerns in separate seams and makes test faking straightforward.
+
+### Edge cases
+
+- Tab already active → succeed immediately (idempotent).
+- Tab does not exist (closed externally) → propagate Chrome API error as `TAB_NOT_FOUND`.
+- Window focus: always attempt window focus alongside tab activation. This ensures cross-window scenarios work.
+- Element handle invalidation: `tab.activate` does NOT invalidate element handles — the page identity has not changed, only the tab's foreground status.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 2: `links --href-contains`
+
+### Intent
+
+Allow agents to filter links at extraction time, eliminating post-processing pipelines for every link-based workflow.
+
+### Design
+
+Add an optional `hrefContains` string param to the `links` action. The content script applies it as a case-sensitive substring match on the resolved absolute `href` before adding a link to the result array.
+
+**Wire shape change:**
+
+- `ActionParams['links']` gains: `hrefContains?: string`
+- `ForwardedActionParams['links']` gains the same field (pass-through)
+- No new result fields. Filtered links simply have fewer entries.
+
+The filter applies **after** href normalization (so the agent matches against absolute URLs) and **before** the limit cap (so `--limit 5 --href-contains "/in/"` returns at most 5 matching links, not 5 links from which matches are then extracted).
+
+### Implementation touchpoints
+
+**shared/**
+- `actions.ts` — add `hrefContains?: string` to `ActionParams['links']`. Note: `ForwardedActionParams['links']` is defined as a type alias (`ActionParams["links"]`) so the change propagates automatically — there is only one source edit.
+
+**cli/**
+- `commands/links.ts` — add `--href-contains` flag (type: string, optional). Wire into params.
+
+**service/**
+- `schemas.ts` — add `hrefContains` as optional string in the `links` params Zod schema.
+
+**extension/**
+- `content/actions/links.ts` — in `handleLinks`, after `toLinkInfo` produces a valid link, check `request.params.hrefContains`. If set and `link.href` does not include the substring, skip the entry.
+
+### Constraints
+
+- Case-sensitive match. Agents control casing in their filter string.
+- Empty string `""` matches everything (no-op). `undefined` means no filter.
+- No regex. This is a substring predicate, not a query language. Regex would expand the attack surface in the content script.
+- Handle numbering: when `hrefContains` reduces the returned set, daemon mints handles `ln1..lnN` for the N returned links only. Handles are always 1-based within the response, not correlated to any page-global link index. A subsequent read (with or without filter) invalidates all previously minted link handles for that page — this is standard ADR-027 re-read invalidation.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 3: Response truncation fix + `links --offset` pagination
+
+### Intent
+
+Guarantee valid JSON output regardless of response size (fix the truncation bug), and add offset-based pagination for large link extractions.
+
+### Part A: Truncation investigation and fix
+
+The reported symptom is "unterminated string at char 65200" when parsing `bproxy links --limit 200` output. Potential root causes:
+
+1. **Daemon response serialization** — Fastify body serialization hitting a buffer boundary. Unlikely given Fastify's streaming JSON serializer, but verify.
+2. **CLI stdout pipe buffering** — `process.stdout.write` with large payloads may fail silently if the consuming pipe closes early or buffers fill. The CLI must handle write backpressure or verify full write completion.
+3. **Shell pipe truncation** — if the agent pipes through `python3 -c ...` and the python process exits early or the pipe buffer fills, the shell may truncate stdout.
+
+**Investigation steps (ordered by likelihood):**
+1. Write a test in `cli/__tests__/` that generates a links response with 200+ entries (synthetic large JSON, >64KB), passes it through the CLI output path, and asserts the result parses as valid JSON.
+2. Write a service-level integration test: daemon returns a large `links` payload; CLI receives and outputs complete valid JSON.
+3. If the issue is CLI-side: ensure `writeJson` in `output.ts` handles backpressure correctly (await drain if `write` returns false, or use synchronous `writeFileSync` on fd 1).
+4. If the issue is not reproducible in controlled tests: document the finding and recommended `--limit` ceiling in CLI help text for `links`.
+
+**Fix principle:** The CLI output contract requires exactly one valid JSON object on stdout. If the write pipeline can produce truncated output under any condition, that is a bug.
+
+**Important:** The actual stdout write for protocol commands happens through `executeExitPlan` in `cli/src/exit.ts` (`stdout.write(...)`) — not through `writeJson` in `output.ts`. Investigation must cover **both** code paths. The `writeJson` function is used in limited contexts; the primary protocol output path is `executeExitPlan`.
+
+### Part B: `links --offset` pagination
+
+Add offset-based pagination so agents can retrieve large link sets in bounded chunks.
+
+**Wire shape change:**
+
+- `ActionParams['links']` gains: `offset?: number`
+- `ForwardedActionParams['links']` gains the same field.
+- `ActionResult['links']` gains: `total: number` — the count of all matching links (before offset/limit slicing), enabling agents to know whether more pages remain.
+
+Semantics:
+- `offset` defaults to `0`.
+- The content script collects all matching links (applying `hrefContains` and `visibleOnly` filters, up to `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP`), records `total`, then slices `[offset, offset + limit)` for the response.
+- If `offset >= total`, return `{ links: [], total }`.
+- If collection hit the cap, include `capped: true` in the result so agents know the total is approximate.
+
+Result type becomes: `{ links: Array<LinkInfo>; total: number; capped?: boolean }`.
+
+**Implementation touchpoints:**
+
+**shared/**
+- `actions.ts` — add `offset?: number` to `ActionParams['links']` (propagates to `ForwardedActionParams['links']` automatically via the type alias). Add `total: number` to `ActionResult['links']`.
+
+**⚠️ Protocol result shape change:** Adding required `total: number` to `ActionResult['links']` (currently `{ links: Array<LinkInfo> }`) is a breaking change to the result type. All tests asserting `links` response shape across all packages must be updated. The compile-time `_AssertResults` guard will surface this. The daemon's `decorateReadHandles` spreads response data, which preserves `total` from the extension response — no logic change needed there.
+
+**cli/**
+- `commands/links.ts` — add `--offset` flag (type: string, parsed as non-negative integer).
+
+**service/**
+- `schemas.ts` — add `offset` as optional non-negative integer in the `links` params Zod schema.
+
+**extension/**
+- `content/actions/links.ts` — refactor `handleLinks`:
+  1. Collect all matching links into a full array (respecting `hrefContains` and `visibleOnly`).
+  2. Record `total = fullArray.length`.
+  3. Slice: `fullArray.slice(offset, offset + limit)`.
+  4. Return `{ links: sliced, total }`.
+  
+  Note: the current implementation breaks on first `limit` hit during iteration. Refactor to separate collection from slicing. The `MAX_LINK_LIMIT` (500) remains as a hard cap on the returned slice size, not on total collection.
+
+  **Collection safety cap:** Add a `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP` (2000) that limits how many matching links are collected before slicing. On pages with thousands of links, the content script must not build an unbounded array. If collection hits the cap, stop iteration, set `total` to the cap value, and include `capped: true` in the result. This prevents content-script OOM on adversarial pages.
+
+### Performance consideration
+
+Collecting all links before slicing means the content script walks the entire DOM regardless of offset. For most pages this is negligible (few hundred links). The `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP` (2000) provides a hard safety boundary. If pages with thousands of links become a real concern, a future optimization can short-circuit after `offset + limit` entries when no `total` is needed — but that changes semantics (no accurate total). Defer this optimization.
+
+### Handle numbering with offset
+
+When `--offset 50 --limit 50` returns 50 links, the daemon mints handles `ln1`–`ln50` for that response slice (not `ln51`–`ln100`). A subsequent call with different offset **invalidates** all previously minted link handles for that page (standard re-read invalidation per ADR-027). Agents must use handles from the most recent `links` response only.
+
+---
+
+## Feature 5: `text --after` marker extraction
+
+### Intent
+
+Allow agents to extract text starting from a known marker string, reducing post-processing for structured page content.
+
+### Design
+
+This is a **CLI-local post-processing step**. The protocol and extension remain unchanged — the content script still returns full text for the scoped selector. The CLI slices the result before emitting to stdout.
+
+**Rationale for CLI-local:**
+- Keeps the extension thin (ADR-017 sensor boundary).
+- The text action already returns full `innerText`. Adding string manipulation to the content script adds no value — the same bytes travel over the wire regardless.
+- CLI-local slicing is consistent with how `screenshot` does file materialization locally.
+
+**CLI interface:**
+
+- `--after <marker>` — find first occurrence of the marker string in the returned text, emit only the text starting from that position (inclusive of the marker).
+- `--limit-chars <N>` — when combined with `--after`, truncate the result to at most N characters. Without `--after`, `--limit-chars` applies to the full text from the beginning.
+
+**Behavior:**
+- If `--after` marker is not found in the text: emit the full text unchanged. Include a `markerFound: false` field in the output data so the agent can detect this.
+- If found: emit `{ text: <sliced>, markerFound: true, markerOffset: <position> }`.
+- The output `data` shape remains `{ text: string }` augmented with the optional marker metadata. This is a CLI-level transformation — the protocol `ActionResult['text']` type does not change.
+
+**Implementation touchpoints:**
+
+**cli/ only** — no shared/service/extension changes.
+
+- `commands/text.ts` — add `--after` (type: string, optional) and `--limit-chars` (type: string, parsed as positive integer, optional) flags.
+- Post-processing logic: after receiving the successful response from `sendAction`, apply transformation **only when `plan.code === 0 && plan.stdout`** (same guard pattern as `screenshot`). If `--after` is set:
+  1. Extract `text` from `response.data`.
+  2. Find `text.indexOf(afterMarker)`.
+  3. If found: slice from that index, apply `--limit-chars` if set, augment data with `markerFound: true` and `markerOffset`.
+  4. If not found: pass through unchanged, add `markerFound: false`.
+- On error responses (`ok: false`), do not attempt any post-processing.
+- The modified data is emitted as the stdout JSON. The response `ok: true` status and `page` fields pass through unchanged.
+
+**Output contract preservation:** stdout is still exactly one JSON object. The `data` object gains optional `markerFound` and `markerOffset` fields that are present only when `--after` is used.
+
+### Why this does not violate the protocol
+
+The `text` action's protocol result type (`ActionResult['text']`) is `{ text: string }`. The CLI is free to transform the output before emission — it already does this for `screenshot` (base64 → file). The additional fields (`markerFound`, `markerOffset`) are CLI-output metadata, not protocol fields. An agent calling the daemon directly (without CLI) gets the full text and must do its own slicing.
+
+---
+
+## Implementation order
+
+Tasks are ordered by dependency and value:
+
+1. **Feature 1 (tab.activate)** — unblocks all other features by eliminating the `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` error class in agent workflows. Self-contained, low risk.
+2. **Feature 2 (links --href-contains)** — highest agent-reported value per implementation cost. No dependencies.
+3. **Feature 3A (truncation fix)** — investigate and fix. May be done in parallel with Feature 2.
+4. **Feature 3B (links --offset)** — depends on Feature 2 being complete (same params/result types modified). Builds on the `handleLinks` refactoring needed for offset.
+5. **Feature 5 (text --after)** — CLI-only, zero dependencies on other features. Can be done last or in parallel.
+
+---
+
+## Documentation updates
+
+After implementation, update:
+
+- `docs/public/solution/shared.md` — new action, new params fields (`hrefContains`, `offset`), new result fields (`total`, `capped`), new `tab.activate` action
+- `docs/public/solution/cli.md` — new `tab activate` command entry, updated `links` flag table (`--href-contains`, `--offset`), updated `text` flag table (`--after`, `--limit-chars`), recommended `--limit` ceiling note in `links` command description
+- `docs/public/solution/extension.md` — `tab.activate` in browser-handled action list, `BrowserWindowsSeam` in deps
+- `docs/public/solution/service.md` — `tab.activate` routing note
+- `docs/internal/architecture.md` — add `tab.activate` to action table
+- `docs/public/views/02-containers.md` — no change needed (tab.activate doesn't alter container boundaries, confirm only)
+
+---
+
+## Validation
+
+All features must pass before the phase is considered complete:
+
+- `pnpm check` passes (typecheck + format + lint + arch + deadcode)
+- `pnpm test` passes across all packages
+- Feature 1: unit test for `tab.activate` in extension (background-actions), service (tab-actions routing), CLI (command wiring). Integration: activate a background tab, subsequent destructive action succeeds without `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE`.
+- Feature 2: unit test in extension `links.ts` — verify `hrefContains` filters correctly (match, no-match, empty string, undefined). CLI test for arg parsing.
+- Feature 3A: integration test with >64KB JSON payload through CLI output path — verify valid JSON on stdout.
+- Feature 3B: unit test in extension `links.ts` — verify offset/limit slicing and `total` accuracy. CLI test for `--offset` arg parsing.
+- Feature 5: unit test in CLI `text.ts` — verify `--after` slicing (marker found, not found, combined with `--limit-chars`).
+- Command registry exhaustiveness: adding `tab.activate` to the Action union must trigger a compile error if the registry is not updated.
+
+---
+
+## Deferred
+
+| Item | Reason |
+|---|---|
+| `--activate` flag on all destructive commands | Syntactic sugar over `tab activate` + command. Defer until usage shows whether the two-command pattern creates real friction. |
+| `text --before` marker | No evidence of need. Trivial to add later with same pattern as `--after`. |
+| `links --href-regex` | Regex in content script is a complexity/security surface expansion. Substring matching covers stated use cases. |
+| `links --text-contains` | Not requested. Add when real use case appears. |
+| Response streaming / chunked transfer | Overkill for current payload sizes if truncation bug is fixed. |
+| Raise `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP` above 2000 | No evidence needed yet. 2000 covers all stated use cases. Revisit on real demand. |

Subject: [PATCH 2/9] feat: add tab.activate command (phase 10, feature 1)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Implement tab.activate as a background-handled browser action that
foregrounds a session-owned tab and focuses its window. Follows the
exact tab.pin pattern across all layers.

Changes:
- shared: add tab.activate to Action union, params, result, forwarded params
- cli: new tab/activate.ts command, registry classification (destructive)
- service: routing in tab-actions.ts, Zod schema
- extension: BrowserWindowsSeam interface, handleTabActivate implementation
- tests: extension unit tests, service routing test, CLI registry coverage

Closes the TAB_NOT_VISIBLE → screenshot --activate → retry workaround
by giving agents an explicit one-shot way to foreground a tab.

Subject: [PATCH 3/9] feat(links): add --href-contains substring filter

Phase 10, Feature 2: allow agents to filter links at extraction time
by case-sensitive substring match on the resolved absolute href.

Changes across all layers:
- shared: add hrefContains?: string to ActionParams['links']
- service: add hrefContains to links Zod schema
- cli: add --href-contains flag, wire to params
- extension: apply filter after toLinkInfo, before limit cap
- tests: extension unit tests (match/no-match/empty/undefined/limit)
         and CLI param wiring test

Filter semantics:
- Case-sensitive .includes() on absolute URL
- Empty string matches everything (no-op)
- undefined means no filter (standard omission)
- Applied before limit cap: --limit 5 --href-contains '/in/' returns
  at most 5 matching links, not 5 links then filtered

Refs: #21

 (#21)
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Part A — Truncation fix:
- executeExitPlan uses synchronous writeFileSync(fd=1) for stdout
  when no test stream is injected, preventing pipe-buffer truncation
  on payloads >64KB (root cause of 'unterminated string at char 65200')
- Added regression test with 250-entry links response (>64KB)

Part B — links --offset pagination:
- ActionParams['links'] gains offset?: number
- ActionResult['links'] changes to { links, total, capped? }
- Extension handleLinks refactored: collect-then-slice with
  MAX_COLLECTION_CAP (2000) safety bound
- CLI adds --offset flag (non-negative integer)
- Service Zod schema adds offset validation
- Daemon decorateReadHandles preserves total/capped fields

All 845 tests pass. pnpm check clean.

 =?UTF-8?q?=E2=86=922,=20centralize=20as=20PROTOCOL=5FVERSION=20constant?=
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Breaking wire change: ActionResult['links'] now requires 'total: number'
field (offset pagination, Feature 3B). Old extensions that omit 'total'
produce incompatible responses.

Cohesion-of-name refactoring:
- All scattered protocol_version/protocolVersion literals replaced with
  the PROTOCOL_VERSION constant imported from @bproxy/shared
- Future version bumps are a single-line change in shared/src/version.ts
- Type definitions use 'typeof PROTOCOL_VERSION' for compile-time safety

Test improvements:
- Compile-time assertion for ActionResult['links'] shape (_LinksResult)
- Extension: capped behavior test (MAX_COLLECTION_CAP boundary, 2001 links)
- CLI: offset/limit parsing validation tests (+9)
- Service: schema coverage for offset/hrefContains (+3)

53 files changed, 858 tests passing, pnpm check green.

 1. **Feature 1 (tab.activate)** ✅ — Done. Unblocks all other features by eliminating the `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` error class in agent workflows.
 2. **Feature 2 (links --href-contains)** ✅ — Done. Substring filter on absolute href, applied before limit cap.
 3. **Feature 3A (truncation fix)** ✅ — Done. `executeExitPlan` uses synchronous `writeFileSync(1, ...)` for stdout, preventing pipe-buffer truncation on large payloads (>64KB).
-4. **Feature 3B (links --offset)** ✅ — Done. Collect-then-slice refactoring with `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP` (2000), `total`, `capped`, and offset-based pagination.
+4. **Feature 3B (links --offset)** ✅ — Done. Collect-then-slice refactoring with `MAX_COLLECTION_CAP` (2000), `total`, `capped`, and offset-based pagination. Protocol version bumped 1→2 (breaking wire change: required `total` field in links result). All `protocol_version` literals replaced with named `PROTOCOL_VERSION` constant for cohesion-of-name.
 5. **Feature 5 (text --after)** — CLI-only, zero dependencies on other features. Can be done last or in parallel.

Protocol version bumped 1→2 (breaking wire change: required `total` field in links result). All `protocol_version` literals replaced with named `PROTOCOL_VERSION` constant for cohesion-of-name.

 - Feature 1: unit test for `tab.activate` in extension (background-actions), service (tab-actions routing), CLI (command wiring). Integration: activate a background tab, subsequent destructive action succeeds without `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE`.
 - Feature 2: unit test in extension `links.ts` — verify `hrefContains` filters correctly (match, no-match, empty string, undefined). CLI test for arg parsing.
 - Feature 3A: integration test with >64KB JSON payload through CLI output path — verify valid JSON on stdout.

-Every protocol command requires `-n <nick>`. Generate your nick **once at the start of your task** and reuse it for all commands.
+Every protocol command needs `-n <nick>`. Generate once per task, reuse.
 
-**How to generate:** pick 6 random lowercase alphanumeric characters, starting with a letter. Pattern: `/^[a-z][a-z0-9]{5}$/`. Example generation: pick a random letter a-z, then 5 random chars from a-z0-9. Do not reuse nicks from documentation or examples.
+- Format: `/^[a-z][a-z0-9]{5}$/` (6 chars, starts letter). Example algorithm: random `a-z` + 5 random `a-z0-9`.
+- Do not copy docs/examples nicks.
+- Nick scopes sessions. Wrong nick → `SESSION_SCOPE_MISMATCH` or invisible session.
+- No env default. Pass `-n` every time.
 
-**Why:** sessions are scoped to nick. Your nick is your namespace — only you can see and command sessions you created. Using someone else's nick means you'll either fail with `SESSION_SCOPE_MISMATCH` or collide with their sessions.

-**Rules:**
-- Generate once per task, reuse for all commands in that task.
-- No environment variable — explicit on every call.
-- Do not hardcode nicks from examples or documentation.

+- `tab activate` exists. Use it before destructive commands when tab is background. No hidden auto-activation elsewhere.
+- `links --href-contains S` filters normalized absolute hrefs, case-sensitive, before limit.
+- `links --offset N --limit M` paginates. Result includes `total` and maybe `capped:true`.
+- For big pages, page links in chunks; stdout is still one valid JSON object.
+- `text --after MARKER` slices CLI output from marker, inclusive. `--limit-chars N` caps text. If marker missing, full text plus `markerFound:false`.
 
 ## Fill method
 
+Probe first: `elements --form`, check `runtimeHandle`.
+
 | Target | Method | World |
 |--------|--------|-------|
-| `<input>`, `<textarea>`, React/Vue/Angular | `paste` | `isolated` |
+| `<input>`, `<textarea>`, framework controlled | `paste` | `isolated` |
 | bare `[contenteditable]` | `direct` | `isolated` |
-| rich editor (`runtimeHandle` present) | `runtime-api` | `main` |
+| rich editor with `runtimeHandle` | `runtime-api` | `main` |
+
+No `auto`. Extension only executes your chosen method. More: `references/fill-methods.md`.
 
-Probe first: `elements --form` → check `runtimeHandle` field.
-Read `references/fill-methods.md` when handling rich editors or shadow DOM.
+## Human handoff
 
-## Consent & interstitials
+Cookie banner: use `references/consent.md` selector catalog.  
+Login/CAPTCHA/age gate/cross-origin iframe: stop and call:
 
-When page shows cookie banner, login wall, or CAPTCHA:
-- Cookie banners: read `references/consent.md` for CMP selector catalog + decision tree.
-- Login/CAPTCHA/age gates: `require-human --reason "..."` immediately.
-- After operator resolves: `session resume -n <nick> -s <id>`, continue.
+```bash
+bproxy require-human -n <nick> -s <id> --reason "describe blocker"
+# after operator resolves
+bproxy session resume -n <nick> -s <id>
+```
 
 ## Gotchas
 
-- **`--nick` is mandatory**: missing or invalid nick → exit 2, command never reaches daemon.
-- **Generate your own nick**: do not copy nicks from docs/examples. Generate a random one.
-- **`TAB_NOT_VISIBLE`**: destructive actions fail on background tabs. Tab must be Chrome's active foreground tab. No standalone `tab activate` command yet — ask operator to switch, or use `navigate` to the same URL which may bring it forward.
-- **Handles expire**: `el1`/`ln1` are valid only for current page state. After navigation or page change, re-read.
-- **`-s` required**: every browser command needs session id. Exception: `tab open --url` auto-creates session.
-- **No `auto` fill method**: agent must choose `paste`/`direct`/`runtime-api` explicitly.
-- **Scroll doesn't infer containers**: `scroll` moves viewport by default. For specific scrollable element, pass `--element`. bproxy won't guess.
-- **Screenshot needs visible tab**: use `--activate` to bring tab to foreground, or ask operator.
-- **Cross-origin iframes**: content inside them is unreachable. Use `require-human`.
-- **`SELECTOR_AMBIGUOUS`**: bproxy refuses if selector matches >1 element. Narrow the selector or use handles.
-- **Pacing is enforced**: daemon adds delay between commands (900ms minimum). Don't try to batch rapidly — it will be rejected.
+- Handles `elN`/`lnN` expire on navigation/page change/re-read. Re-read for fresh handles.
+- Destructive actions need visible tab. Use `tab activate`; `screenshot --activate` only affects screenshot.
+- `scroll` moves viewport unless you pass explicit target. No container guessing.
+- `SELECTOR_AMBIGUOUS`: narrow selector or use handle.
+- `tmpDir` is session scratch under `BPROXY_HOME`; copy artifacts before `session close`.
+- Pacing/rate guards enforced per nick. Avoid fixed-interval loops; respect `retryAfter`.
+- No arbitrary eval. Use browser devtools/CDP outside bproxy for runtime investigation.
 
 ## Error recovery
 
 | Error | Do |
-|-------|-----|
-| `HUMAN_REQUIRED` | Stop. Tell operator. Wait. `session resume`. |
-| `ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND` / `HANDLE_STALE` | Re-read (`elements`/`links`) for fresh handles. |
-| `SESSION_NOT_FOUND` | Session permanently gone. `tab open --url` for new session. **Do not retry.** |
-| `SESSION_SCOPE_MISMATCH` | Session belongs to another agent. Check your `--nick`. **Do not retry.** |
-| `RATE_LIMITED` | Too fast. Wait the `retryAfter` ms from details, then retry. |
-| `METRONOME_DETECTED` | Fixed-interval pattern detected. **Do not retry.** Vary your timing. |
-| `TIMEOUT` | `wait --strategy selector --target <css>`, then retry. |
-| `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` | Ask operator to foreground tab, retry. |
-| `NO_EXTENSION` | Extension not connected. Ask operator to check. |
-| `SELECTOR_AMBIGUOUS` | Use more specific selector or element handle. |

 # Error Codes
 
-## Shape
+Shape:
 
 ```json

-## Retry semantics
+Retry:
+- `safe` → wait, then retry if still useful. Respect `details.retryAfter`.
+- `conditional` → fix condition first.
+- `never` → request/pattern wrong. Do not repeat unchanged.
 
-- `safe` → retry after waiting (respect `retryAfter` if present)
-- `conditional` → fix the condition first, then retry
-- `never` → request is wrong, fix params. **Do not retry.**

-### Transport
+## Transport
 
 | Code | Retry | Recovery |
 |------|-------|----------|
-| `NO_EXTENSION` | conditional | Extension not connected. Operator checks extension + pairing. |
-| `TIMEOUT` | safe | Page slow. `wait` first, increase `--timeout`. |
-| `OVERLOADED` | safe | Wait 1-2s, retry. |
+| `NO_EXTENSION` | conditional | Operator checks extension paired/connected. |
+| `WS_DISCONNECTED` | conditional | Extension link dropped. Wait/reconnect, then retry non-destructive only. |
+| `TIMEOUT` | safe | Page slow. `wait`, increase `--timeout`, retry once. |
+| `OVERLOADED` | safe | Wait 1–2s, retry. |
 
-### Target
+## Target
 
 | Code | Retry | Recovery |
 |------|-------|----------|
-| `ELEMENT_NOT_FOUND` | conditional | Re-read (`elements`/`links`). |
-| `ELEMENT_NOT_ACTIONABLE` | conditional | Hidden/disabled/covered. `inspect` → scroll or wait. |
-| `SELECTOR_AMBIGUOUS` | never | Matched >1. Use handle or narrow selector. |
-| `SESSION_NOT_FOUND` | never | Session permanently closed or never existed. **Do not retry.** `tab open --url` for new session. |
-| `INVALID_SESSION_ID` | never | Must match `/^[a-z2-7]{6}$/`. |
-| `TAB_HANDLE_NOT_FOUND` | conditional | `tab list` to see available. |

+## Policy
 
 | Code | Retry | Recovery |
 |------|-------|----------|
-| `HUMAN_REQUIRED` | conditional | **Stop.** Tell operator. Wait. `session resume`. |
-| `SESSION_REQUIRED` | never | Add `-s <id>` or bootstrap with `tab open --url`. |
-| `SESSION_SCOPE_MISMATCH` | never | Session belongs to another agent. Check your `--nick` value. Create your own session with `tab open --url ... -n <nick>`. |
-| `RATE_LIMITED` | safe | Too fast. Wait `details.retryAfter` ms before next command. |
-| `METRONOME_DETECTED` | never | Fixed-interval pattern detected. **Stop scripting.** Vary timing between commands. Do not use programmatic loops with fixed delays. |
-| `DEBUGGER_DISABLED` | never | Remove `--debugger` flag. |
+| `HUMAN_REQUIRED` | conditional | Stop. Tell operator. After fix: `session resume`. |
+| `SESSION_REQUIRED` | never | Add `-s <id>` or start with `tab open --url`. |
+| `SESSION_SCOPE_MISMATCH` | never | Wrong nick/session. Use your own nick/session. |
+| `RATE_LIMITED` | safe | Wait `details.retryAfter` ms before next command. |
+| `METRONOME_DETECTED` | never | Fixed-interval loop detected. Stop loop; do not retry same pattern. |
+| `DEBUGGER_DISABLED` | never | Remove `--debugger`. |
 
-### Execution
+## Execution
 
 | Code | Retry | Recovery |
 |------|-------|----------|
-| `SCRIPT_ERROR` | conditional | Retry once. If persistent, page may block scripts. |
-| `NAVIGATION_FAILED` | conditional | Check URL validity. |
-| `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` | conditional | Tab not in foreground. Ask operator to switch or use `--activate`. |
-
-## Recovery patterns
-
-**Stale handles** → re-read, get fresh handles, retry with new handle.
-
-**Timeout on slow page** → `wait --strategy selector --target "main"` → retry.
-
-**Human intervention** → `require-human` → operator resolves → `session resume` → continue.
-
-**Session lost** → `tab open --url "..." -n <nick>` → new session id → continue. Do not retry the old session.
-
-**Rate limited** → wait `retryAfter` ms from `error.details`, then retry the same command.
-
-**Scope mismatch** → you're using the wrong `--nick` or trying to access another agent's session. Use only sessions you created.
+| `SCRIPT_ERROR` | conditional | Retry once after wait. If persistent, change method/target or human. |
+| `NAVIGATION_FAILED` | conditional | Check URL/reachability. |
+| `TAB_NOT_VISIBLE` | conditional | Run `tab activate -n <nick> -s <id> [--tab tN]`, then retry. |
+
+## Patterns
+
+- Stale handle → re-read, use new `elN`/`lnN` only.
+- Slow page → `wait --strategy selector --target "main"`, then retry.
+- Human blocker → `require-human`, wait, `session resume`, continue.
+- Lost session → `tab open --url ... -n <nick>`; old id is dead.
+- Rate limited → wait exact `retryAfter`; avoid burst/fixed cadence.
+- Scope mismatch → verify nick and session owner; do not guess other nicks.

-# context-grep Pi extension
-
-Project-local Pi extension that enriches `bash` `rg`/`grep` results with AST context and back-references. The agent searches as usual; the extension transparently appends enclosing functions and their callers.
-
-## How it helps
-
-Every time the agent greps for code it plans to modify, it automatically sees:
-- The enclosing function/class (not just the matched line)
-- Who calls that function ("Called from: ← callerName (file:line)")
-
-This reduces iterative grep→read→grep cycles by ~44% on investigation tasks (measured via A/B testing).
-
-## Enable
-
-1. Trust this project in Pi.
-2. Ensure `ast-grep` is installed and on `PATH`.
-3. Start Pi in this repo — auto-discovered, or `/reload`.
-
-## Disable
-
-- `pi --no-extensions`, or
-- Remove `.pi/extensions/context-grep/`, then `/reload`.
-
-## Output format
-
-```text
-── AST context (N containers, deduplicated) ────────────────────────────
-
-▶ service/src/config.ts:20-29 [fn loadBaseConfig] (grep hits: [20])
-  │
-  │ Called from:
-  │   ← main (service/src/index.ts:20)
-  │   ← loadConfig (service/src/config.ts:32)
-  │
-    export function loadBaseConfig(env) {
-        ...
-    }
-```
-
-## Behavior
-
-- Original search output stays at top unchanged.
-- AST context appended when ast-grep finds enclosing containers.
-- Back-references added when a grep hit lands on a function definition line.
-- Script/heredoc commands correctly rejected (no false enrichment).
-- If `ast-grep` unavailable: warns once, stays passive.
-- Any error: returns original result unchanged.
-
-## Supported file extensions
-
-`.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.mjs`, `.cjs`, `.py`, `.rs`, `.go`
-
-## Source + tests
-
-Checked TypeScript source: `tools/pi/context-grep/`

-# context-grep tooling
-
-Repo-local Pi search enrichment — AST context + back-references for grep results.
-
-## Architecture
-
-Based on the proven codeindex-exploration experiment design:
-- Parse grep output → find enclosing AST containers → find callers → format single block
-- No navigation maps, no suggested reads, no lane classification (these were tested and removed — they increased turns)
-
-## Layout
-
-**Option B** from Phase 9 plan:
-
-- Checked source: `tools/pi/context-grep/`
-- Pi shim: `.pi/extensions/context-grep/index.ts`
-
-## Validation
-
-```bash
-pnpm test:pi-tooling       # run tests (via tsx)
-pnpm typecheck:pi-tooling  # typecheck source + tests
-pnpm typecheck:pi-shim     # typecheck the Pi extension shim
-```
-
-Extension source is excluded from product gates (`pnpm check`).
-
-## Runtime expectations
-
-- `ast-grep` on PATH
-- `rg` on PATH (for back-references)
-- Pi must trust the project
-- `/reload` picks up changes
-
-## Files
-
-```
-src/
-  parse.ts      — grep/rg output parsing + command detection (safety layer)
-  ast.ts        — ast-grep container extraction + availability check
-  backrefs.ts   — caller lookup via rg --json --fixed-strings
-  enrich.ts     — enrichment pipeline: parse → containers → back-refs → format
-  index.ts      — barrel exports
-test/
-  context-grep.test.ts   — parser, AST, back-refs, enrichment tests
-  iteration2.test.ts     — hardening tests (heredoc rejection, lineText)
-  fixtures/              — TypeScript fixtures for ast-grep validation
-```
-
-## Supported languages
-
-`.ts`, `.tsx`, `.js`, `.jsx`, `.mjs`, `.cjs`, `.py`, `.rs`, `.go`
-
-## Measured impact
-
-| Task type | Turns (no ext → with ext) | Effect |
-|---|---|---|
-| Investigation (trace call chains) | 36 → 20 (−44%) | Strong positive |
-| Audit (comprehensive review) | 17 → 18 (neutral) | No harm |
-
-The extension acts as a passive guardrail: agents see call chains automatically, reducing uninformed edits.
