Runs automatically when --chrome-headless flag is used, checking:
- ChromeDriver installation and PATH
- Chrome/Chromium installation
- Chrome and ChromeDriver version compatibility
- config.toml chrome_binary setting
- Chrome for Testing installation
- ChromeDriver executable permissions (macOS quarantine)
Displays a detailed report with:
- Summary of detected versions and paths
- Pass/warning/error status for each check
- Specific fix suggestions for any issues found
Users can then ask g3 to help fix any detected issues.
Properly separates UI display concern from core library:
- fixed_filter_json module now lives in g3-cli (UI layer)
- UiWriter trait gains filter_json_tool_calls() and reset_json_filter() methods
- g3-core delegates filtering to UI layer via trait methods
- Different UiWriter implementations can choose their own filtering behavior
- ConsoleUiWriter filters JSON tool calls for clean terminal display
- MachineUiWriter/NullUiWriter use default pass-through
Benefits:
- Proper separation of concerns
- Core stays clean without display-specific logic
- Testability - filter can be tested independently in g3-cli
This tries to short-circuit multiple round-trips to llm for reading code.
It's a precursor to trying to context engineer tailored to specific tasks.
In initial experiments, it's only marginally faster than regular mode, and burns more tokens.
