Documentation

Overview

Package browser defines the persistent browser session metadata model used by the planned `tap browser ...` workflow.

Phase 1 establishes the durable state contract before the runtime is added:

  • A session is one persistent browser instance, either local or remote.
  • A tab is a named tracked browser target within a session.
  • Stored metadata is the source of truth for names and selection defaults.
  • Each command must reconcile metadata against live targets before acting.
  • Untracked live browser tabs are ignored by default.
  • Missing tracked targets become stale until they are recreated or removed.

The package also defines the initial local-vs-remote capability matrix used by CLI help text and README documentation:

  • Local sessions own their browser process and profile directory.
  • Remote sessions bind metadata to an explicit CDP WebSocket endpoint.
  • Remote session creation validates the endpoint up front.
  • Remote session close removes tap metadata only and never kills the remote browser process.

Package browser manages alternative browser backends for CDP-based automation.
