Chrome headless has too many issues:
- Session creation hangs when Chrome is already running
- Cloudflare and other bot protection blocks headless browsers
- Version mismatch issues between Chrome and ChromeDriver
Safari is more reliable for web automation on macOS.
Chrome headless is still available via --chrome-headless flag.
- Add setup script (scripts/setup-chrome-for-testing.sh) that downloads
matching Chrome and ChromeDriver versions from Google's CDN
- Add chrome_binary config option to specify custom Chrome binary path
- Update ChromeDriver to support custom binary via with_port_headless_and_binary()
- Update README with Chrome for Testing setup instructions
- Update config.example.toml with chrome_binary documentation
Chrome for Testing is Google's dedicated browser for automated testing
that guarantees version compatibility with ChromeDriver, avoiding the
common 'version mismatch' errors when Chrome auto-updates.
- Add --safari flag to CLI for explicitly choosing Safari
- Update --chrome-headless flag description to indicate it's the default
- Update README to reflect Chrome headless as default
- Remove broken link to non-existent docs/webdriver-setup.md
- Add Safari flag handling in all webdriver config locations
The config already had ChromeHeadless as the default, this commit
updates the CLI and documentation to match.
Writes the current context window to logs/current_context_window (uses a symlink to a session ID).
This PR was unfortunately generated by a different LLM and did a ton of superficial reformating, it's actually a fairly small and benign change, but I don't want to roll back everything. Hope that's ok.
