Extract buildMcpArgs() helper and fix --executablePath → --executable-path
to match the Playwright MCP CLI's expected flag format.
Closes#16
Co-authored-by: KasumiChen <KasumiChen@users.noreply.github.com>
The tab list from Playwright MCP uses '- N: (current) [title](url)' format,
but extractTabEntries only matched 'Tab N ...' format. This caused
_initialTabIdentities to always be empty, so tabs were never cleaned up.
Now supports both formats.
- Add isCdpApiAvailable() to verify CDP HTTP JSON API before using endpoint
- Chrome's chrome://inspect#remote-debugging writes DevToolsActivePort but
its CDP endpoint is incompatible with Playwright connectOverCDP (init
succeeds but all tool calls hang silently)
- Add CDP readiness probe in connect() to catch unresponsive endpoints
- Skip tab cleanup in close() for CDP mode (no bridge tabs to clean)
- Add PlaywrightMCPMode tracking for extension vs CDP lifecycle policy
- search.ts: Added deduplication break condition so if the API returns duplicate pages, it stops instead of looping forever.
- search.ts: Removed unsafe Promise.race around page.goto which caused 'context closed' errors.
- browser.ts: Added robust static cleanup hooks to guarantee process and MCP lock destruction on crashed or ctrl+c'd runs.
- Add TCP port reachability check to handle stale DevToolsActivePort files
- Make discoverChromeEndpoint() async with port probe before returning
- Change connection priority: extension mode is default, CDP is opt-in
- OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT: explicit CDP endpoint
- OPENCLI_USE_CDP=1: enable DevToolsActivePort auto-discovery
- Default: --extension mode (Playwright MCP Bridge)
- Add verbose logging for CDP discovery when -v flag is used
- Fix indentation inconsistency in connect() method
- Update README.md, README.zh-CN.md, SKILL.md with new connection docs
- Added forceExtension flag to CliCommand, CliOptions, browserSession, and PlaywrightMCP.connect()
- BOSS Zhipin detects CDP mode and drops connections; marked boss/search with forceExtension: true
- Also supports OPENCLI_FORCE_EXTENSION=1 env var for global override
- Fixed async discoverChromeEndpoint() placement outside Promise constructor
- Enhanced boss search with city names, experience, degree, salary, etc.
Chrome 144+ allows enabling remote debugging from chrome://inspect
without any command-line flags (--remote-debugging-port). Chrome writes
the active port and browser GUID to a DevToolsActivePort file in the
user data directory.
This change reads that file to auto-discover the CDP WebSocket endpoint,
eliminating the need for the Playwright MCP Bridge browser extension in
most cases.
Connection priority:
1. OPENCLI_CDP_ENDPOINT env var (manual override)
2. DevToolsActivePort auto-discovery (Chrome/Edge, cross-platform)
3. --extension mode fallback (original behavior)
Supports Windows, macOS, and Linux with Chrome, Edge, and Chromium.

- browser.ts: close all tabs opened during session (not just extension tabs)
uses _initialTabCount to restore Chrome to pre-command state
- README/README.zh-CN: add ⚠️ login requirement warning with examples
- SKILL.md: add login note and tab auto-close mention
- browser.ts: strip '### Ran Playwright code' suffix from MCP evaluate results
to correctly parse JSON data (was causing all evaluate-based commands to fail)
- browser.ts: auto-close chrome-extension:// tabs on session close
- pipeline.ts: add JSON string auto-parse fallback for evaluate step
- v2ex: add strategy:public + browser:false (public API, no browser needed)
- v2ex: simplify to use fetch step instead of evaluate
