hankookdnt d47df6ea00 docs(browser): the Chrome 136+ remote-debugging block is a consent dialog, not a silent failure
The `/browser connect` tip said Chrome 136+ "silently refuse[s] to open the
remote debugging port" on the default user-data-dir and that "there is no error
message". Chrome does surface it: on Chrome 152/macOS, launching the default
profile with --remote-debugging-port puts up an "Allow remote debugging?" dialog,
and the port opens once you press Allow. Port 9222 refusing connections is the
symptom while that consent is pending, not a permanent silent block.

Two details this cost time to rediscover, now written down:

- the consent is asked per launch, so it reappears on every browser restart
- the remote-debugging toggle in chrome://settings does not suppress it; that
  toggle only makes the feature available

Also cross-references browser.use_real_profile for the case the tip leaves
unanswered — wanting existing logins in the agent's browser. A dedicated
user-data-dir avoids the dialog but starts signed out; the real-profile snapshot
gets both, since the snapshot copy is itself a non-default user-data-dir.

Verified locally: default profile + --remote-debugging-port=9222 shows the
dialog and leaves 9222 closed, while a --user-data-dir launch answers
/json/version in under a second with no prompt.

Website

This website is built using Docusaurus, a modern static website generator.

Installation

yarn

Local Development

yarn start

This command starts a local development server and opens up a browser window. Most changes are reflected live without having to restart the server.

Build

yarn build

This command generates static content into the build directory and can be served using any static contents hosting service.

Deployment

Using SSH:

USE_SSH=true yarn deploy

Not using SSH:

GIT_USER=<Your GitHub username> yarn deploy

If you are using GitHub pages for hosting, this command is a convenient way to build the website and push to the gh-pages branch.

Diagram Linting

CI runs ascii-guard to lint docs for ASCII box diagrams. Use Mermaid (````mermaid`) or plain lists/tables instead of ASCII boxes to avoid CI failures.
