v0.27.0

New Features

• Remote view route pools - Added hardened Guacamole/RDP route-pool setup, route display inspection, viewer transfer, browser-switch, private-display, cleanup, and many-to-many validation flows for simultaneous remote browser viewing.
• Dashboard workspaces - Added workspace navigation, browser and activity views, remote viewport state, launcher eligibility checks, and remote-control affordances for service-owned browser sessions.
• Browser capability and access-plan routing - Added browser capability registry, preflight, CDP-free availability, access-plan browser summaries, and service request handoff helpers for choosing and explaining browser execution paths.

Improvements

• Install and remote-view doctors - Added install doctor coverage, remote-view readiness checks, privilege-helper installation, and route-display access diagnostics for release-candidate validation.
• Service observability - Expanded service contracts, generated clients, trace summaries, incident handoffs, job filters, profile allocation details, and retained-state pruning controls.
• Validation gates - Added dashboard, service-client, service-contract, RDP/Guacamole, browser capability, and no-launch smoke scripts so release prep can select checks from the actual changed surfaces.

Bug Fixes

• Default runtime profile attach - Fixed implicit default-profile commands so they attach to the live runtime profile instead of launching another Chrome against a locked profile directory.
• Remote-view route binding - Hardened route display binding and many-to-many smoke behavior when route-pool JSON lacks display names.

Documentation

• Operator checkpoint guidance - Updated README, CLI help, docs pages, skill guidance, roadmap, runbook, plans, and validation notes for the new service, dashboard, install, and remote-view checkpoint surfaces.

v0.26.0

New Features

• Service mode control plane - Added persistent service state for profiles, sessions, browsers, tabs, jobs, events, incidents, site policies, providers, and challenges, with CLI, HTTP, MCP, and dashboard access for long-lived browser automation.
• API and MCP browser-control parity - Added named HTTP browser-control wrappers and typed MCP tools for navigation, tabs, page state, environment emulation, requests, files, HAR capture, routing, element reads, and interactions.
• Browser health and recovery - Added service-owned browser reconciliation, crash and disconnect detection, recovery traces, retry policy, operator retry overrides, and shutdown remedy classification.

Improvements

• Service traceability - Jobs, events, profiles, sessions, and browser records carry service, agent, and task context with naming warnings for anonymous clients.
• Release gates - Added API/MCP parity and service-health validation gates for pre-merge and release preparation.

Documentation

• Service mode docs - Added dedicated service-mode documentation and updated the docs site, README, and agent skill guidance with the release validation path.
