+# Browser plugin
+
+`@opencode-ai/plugin-browser` exposes the desktop browser through Code Mode.
+The server owns tools, invocation scope, and permissions; the desktop owns tabs,
+CDP, captured traffic, evaluations, and capture files. Core only registers the
+plugin. Neither endpoint imports the other's implementation.
+
+```js
+const tab = await tools.browser.tabs.open({ url: "https://example.com" })
+return await tools.browser.snapshot({ tabID: tab.id })
+```
+
+All page operations require a `tabID` returned by `browser.tabs.open/list`.
+Focus selects the visible Review tab, not an implicit command target. Discover
+current signatures with `search({ namespace: "browser" })`.
+Screenshots require a focused, visible tab; call `browser.tabs.focus` first.
+
+## Tools
+
+- Tabs: `tabs.list`, `tabs.open`, `tabs.focus`, `tabs.close`.
+- Navigation: `navigate`, `back`, `forward`, `reload`, `stop`, `frames`.
+- Observation: `snapshot`, `find`, `evaluate`, `wait`, `screenshot`.
+- Input: `click`, `hover`, `drag`, `fill`, `fill_form`, `select`, `check`, `press`, `scroll`, `dialog`.
+- Files: `files.upload`, `files.drop`, `files.list`, `files.get`.
+- Diagnostics: `console`, `network.list`, `network.get`.
+- Performance: `trace.start`, `trace.stop`, `trace.analyze`, `cpu.start`, `cpu.stop`, `cpu.analyze`.
+- Memory: `heap.snapshot`, `heap.summary`, `heap.query`, `heap.object`, `heap.compare`.
+- Audits: `lighthouse` (accessibility, SEO, best practices).
+
+The source of truth for inputs, descriptions, and outputs is
+`Browser.Operations` in `@opencode-ai/plugin-browser/rpc`.
+
+The plugin entrypoint only composes its two owners: `connection.ts` manages
+desktop attachments and pending RPC requests; `tools.ts` runs the tool workflow.
+Server-local file IO stays in `files.ts`. The public `rpc.ts` entrypoint remains
+pure and does not load any of these runtime modules.
+
+## Tests
+
+Run `bun test` and `bun typecheck` from this package for its contract checks.
+Native browser coverage lives with the desktop implementation
+(`packages/desktop/test/browser-native.test.ts`), not in this package.
+
+## RPC
+
+The plugin-owned contract is `@opencode-ai/plugin-browser/rpc`. This entrypoint
+contains only schemas and descriptions; it does not load the server plugin or
+filesystem code. The desktop subscribes
+to control events before starting `attach` with `version: 4`. The attachment call
+stays pending for its lifetime. A matching `attached` event is the readiness barrier.
+
+- `state` publishes the authoritative tab inventory. Tab lookups read only this
+  inventory, so the desktop must publish `state` and wait for its acknowledgment
+  before sending `result` for `tabs.open` or `tabs.close`.
+- `control` announces a request ID or cancellation; it never broadcasts arguments,
+  script source, file bytes, or browser results on the server-wide event feed.
+- `command` retrieves the pending request through authenticated RPC.
+- `result` completes it. The plugin validates the selected operation's output.
+- Inspection commands return only target/source metadata. Execution checks that
+  the approved target has not changed while permission was pending.
+- `attach` returns `replaced` when another desktop takes ownership. That is not
+  a retryable disconnect; the old desktop must not reclaim the session automatically.
+
+The connection ID is correlation, not separate client authentication. Requests
+are bound to their attachment and tab. Disconnect, replacement, session movement,
+and unload fail outstanding work. Calls are not replayed automatically: a lost
+response does not prove that a click or evaluation never happened.
+
+## Files and remote servers
+
+Upload paths are **server-local**. File bytes cross RPC and the desktop writes its
+own temporary copy. Captures/downloads travel back as bounded bytes and are saved
+to server-local temporary files. Returned `files[].path` values refer to that
+server; bytes are not included in the model's structured output. Images are also
+attached for the model to inspect. Temporary exports are not deleted on plugin
+reload, so a returned path remains usable; they follow the host's temporary-file
+lifetime.
+
+Each transfer is limited to 5 MiB total. There is no shared filesystem assumption,
+resumable file-transfer service or object store. Browsing uses the connected
+server's network: `localhost:8000` reaches that server's port 8000, while Chromium
+and page JavaScript still run on the desktop. Dev-server ports need not be public.
+
+`tunnel.open/read/write/close` relay bounded TCP chunks through the existing
+authenticated plugin RPC route. The desktop-only `/proxy` entrypoint adapts
+Chromium's HTTP/CONNECT proxy traffic, including WebSockets, to those methods.
+Network bytes never go onto the global event stream. Attachment closure releases
+the sockets; failed writes are not replayed and there is no direct-network fallback.
+The tunnel relays whatever a loaded page requests and is not filtered per request:
+page traffic has the server host's network reach, including its loopback and LAN.
+
+Remote endpoints can use HTTPS and the existing server credentials. A reverse
+proxy must allow long-lived event and attachment requests; the attachment RPC
+stays open rather than sending response-body heartbeats.
+
+Lighthouse audits use snapshot mode without changing device emulation or adding
+an embedded report screenshot; use `browser.screenshot` for images. Trace exports
+contain the target renderer process, not the whole desktop application. A tab
+process change or trace-buffer loss is reported as an incomplete capture. Heap
+summaries report shallow size, not computed retained size, and do not prove leaks.
+
+All page-derived data is untrusted, including structured outputs. Schema
+validation does not make page text an instruction or grant it authority.
+
+## Recovering from errors
+
+Errors name the failed operation and the next supported action. Refresh tab IDs
+with `browser.tabs.list`, element refs with `browser.snapshot`, and frame IDs with
+`browser.frames`. File and network request IDs must come from the same tab's
+current listing. Trace, CPU, and heap files are not interchangeable.
+
+A timeout, cancellation, or disconnection does not prove the action never ran.
+Inspect the tab and completed files before repeating clicks, uploads, submissions,
+or evaluations. Do not retry a permission denial through another tool or weaken
+browser security to work around a TLS or unsupported-operation error.
+
+File errors distinguish server-local upload paths from desktop capture files.
+Pending/failed downloads and unavailable response bodies are not empty files.
+Oversized output requires a smaller request or capture, not an identical retry.
+
+Per-URL and server-file permission checks belong to the final permission layer
+(#46530). This base plugin layer intentionally does not enforce those rules.
+
+Disable through normal configuration:
+

+{ "plugins": ["-opencode.browser"] }
