Found by using the feature as a user (natural prompts, real sites, CLI PTY + native Electron), not by naming tools:
- browser_vault_save_login was registered but never offered: toolsets.py is a hand-maintained list. Added, with an
invariant test that every registered browser_vault_* tool is in the browser toolset.
- Vault tools were absent on the DEFAULT backend (Browser Use): the gate deferred to check_browser_requirements(),
which is False by design there. Gate = is_browser_use_cli_mode() or check_browser_requirements().
- The model typed a page-shown demo password with browser_type and offered to take one in chat: the vault rules
lived only on the vault tools. browser_type/browser_exec now carry a vault note when the vault tools are
present ("call browser_vault_list first … never type a password with this tool, never accept one in chat, even
if the page shows it"); the browser_exec login-wall line points at the vault instead of "ask the user".
- On Browser Use the saved item was bound to chrome://new-tab-page: the supervisor's default page session is the
daemon's blank tab. browser_vault_save_login now focuses the tab holding a password field before reading its
origin (focus_page("", accept=probe); about:/chrome: pages are never candidates). Live E2E leg added.
- Settings row: "identifier · Added <date>", origin omitted when it duplicates the label.
Live (real model): CLI on Browser Use — first visit prompts, signs in, saves; second visit fills silently; GitHub
decline (Enter or ESC) stops the agent, which refuses chat passwords. CLI on the built-in stack — same three
scenarios pass. Desktop native Electron — same three scenarios plus Settings list/remove pass. Password never in
a transcript, UI, or a file outside vault/.
