Adds browser_attach_screenshot over CDP Page.captureScreenshot (threaded through the daemon protocol/client/surface). The JXA display-capture fallback is deliberately disabled by default — its crop drifted onto neighbouring windows in live testing, which would leak private windows into evidence files; CDP is the correct page-pixel path.

Two real defects found while proving it live:

  • claimAgentTab was not idempotent → every attach failed NO_BLANK_TAB (probeIdentity already claimed the tab).
  • package emitted CommonJS while the source is ESM → all dist imports failed at runtime. Now type: module + Node16, matching sibling curated exts.

Summary by Sourcery

Add secure CDP screenshot evidence capture to browser attachment while fixing idempotent tab claims and ESM package output.

New Features:

  • Add the CDP-only browser_attach_screenshot tool for capturing viewport or bounded full-page PNG evidence into a protected evidence directory.
  • Expose screenshot support through the attach controller, daemon protocol/client, and surface with configurable evidence storage and side-effect policy gating.

Bug Fixes:

  • Make JXA agent-tab claiming idempotent so probing identity does not cause subsequent claims to fail.
  • Correct the package's ESM build configuration for runtime-compatible Node16 distribution imports.

Enhancements:

  • Protect screenshot evidence from path traversal, symlinks, file replacement, directory swaps, and insecure directory permissions while preserving session and write safety.

Build:

  • Align package output with its ESM source by declaring module semantics and using Node16-compatible module resolution.

Documentation:

  • Document the seventh attach tool, screenshot daemon operation, evidence-directory configuration, security restrictions, and CDP-only behavior.

Tests:

  • Add coverage for CDP screenshot capture, full-page size limits, daemon/client timeouts, protected evidence writes, race handling, unsupported transports, and tool registration.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added browser tab screenshots, including full-page capture, with PNGs saved to a configurable evidence directory.
    • Added path safeguards to prevent overwriting existing files or saving outside the evidence directory. Screenshot capture requires a supported browser connection and may be blocked by side-effect policies.

…ild fix

browser_attach_screenshot writes a PNG of the agent tab for research evidence,
implemented over CDP Page.captureScreenshot (page pixels — no coordinate math,
no focus steal, no other windows). Threaded through the daemon protocol/client/
surface so it works on the IPC lane too.

The JXA lane's screencapture fallback is present but DISABLED by default: its
-R crop works in display points while Chrome bounds + Retina scale disagree, so
the region drifted onto neighbouring windows in live testing — unacceptable for
an evidence file. Opt in with WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_JXA_SHOTS=1 only.

Also fixes two real defects found while proving this live:
- JxaBackend.claimAgentTab is now idempotent: probeIdentity() claims a tab
  first, so the controller's own claim consumed a SECOND about:blank and failed
  NO_BLANK_TAB on every attach.
- package/tsconfig emit ESM (type: module, Node16) matching sibling curated
  extensions; the CommonJS emit made every dist import fail at runtime.

Hey - I've found 2 issues, and left some high level feedback:

  • The AttachBackend.screenshotTab and related surface/tool docs describe the capability as CDP-only and non-focusing, but the JXA backend now implements screenshotTab and explicitly focuses the window; consider reconciling these comments with the actual behavior or scoping the JXA implementation differently.
  • In the daemon screenshot handler, invalid or missing path currently returns an UNKNOWN error code; using a more specific validation-style code (e.g., something akin to BAD_REQUEST/INVALID_ARG) would make error handling and diagnostics clearer.

Please address the comments from this code review:

## Overall Comments
- The `AttachBackend.screenshotTab` and related surface/tool docs describe the capability as CDP-only and non-focusing, but the JXA backend now implements `screenshotTab` and explicitly focuses the window; consider reconciling these comments with the actual behavior or scoping the JXA implementation differently.
- In the daemon `screenshot` handler, invalid or missing `path` currently returns an `UNKNOWN` error code; using a more specific validation-style code (e.g., something akin to `BAD_REQUEST`/`INVALID_ARG`) would make error handling and diagnostics clearer.

## Individual Comments

<code_context>
+    const file = join(mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), 'attach-shot-')), 'shot.png');
</code_context>
<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (performance):** Temporary directories created for screenshots are never removed, which can accumulate over time.

Each screenshot call creates a new temp directory via `mkdtempSync`, but only `shot.png` is deleted, leaving the directory in `/tmp`. Over many runs this can lead to unnecessary disk usage, especially for long-lived processes. Please also remove the temp directory returned by `mkdtempSync` (e.g. `rmSync(dir, { recursive: true, force: true })`) in the `finally` block.

Suggested implementation:

```typescript
    const { mkdtempSync, readFileSync, existsSync, rmSync } = await import('node:fs');
    const { tmpdir } = await import('node:os');
    const dir = mkdtempSync(join(tmpdir(), 'attach-shot-'));
    const file = join(dir, 'shot.png');

```

You’ll also need to update the surrounding error-handling/cleanup logic:

1. In the `finally` block that currently deletes `shot.png` (if present), add `rmSync(dir, { recursive: true, force: true });` to remove the temporary directory.
2. If there is no `finally` block yet, wrap the screenshot capture and file reading logic in a `try`/`finally` and in `finally`:
   - Check `existsSync(file)` and delete it as currently done.
   - Call `rmSync(dir, { recursive: true, force: true });` to ensure the temp directory is removed even if the file was never written.
3. Ensure `dir` is in scope for that `finally` block (i.e. declared in the same function scope rather than inside a narrower block).

<issue_to_address>
**suggestion (bug_risk):** The screenshot tool writes a file to disk, which is a side effect despite being read-only from the page’s perspective.

Although the operation is read-only for page state, `browser_attach_screenshot` still writes a PNG to disk. If `hasSideEffects` is meant to capture any external state changes (not just page mutations), this should be `true` or the semantics of `hasSideEffects` should be clarified to avoid upstream tools misclassifying this call as purely observational.

```suggestion
  readonly description =
    'Capture a PNG screenshot of the agent tab to a local file path — visual evidence for a research report.

This needs six changes before it merges. The first three are security fixes.

  1. Set hasSideEffects = true on AttachScreenshotTool in registry/curated/system/browser-automation/src/attach/tools.ts (line 122). The tool writes a file, and the rule at lines 15 and 16 reserves false for the status and read tools, so that a deny-side-effects policy gates writes.

  2. In AttachController.screenshot (registry/curated/system/browser-automation/src/attach/AttachController.ts), resolve path inside a configured evidence directory, refuse .. traversal and symlinks, create the file with flag 'wx' so an existing file is never replaced, and return the resolved path. The path comes straight from the tool arguments, the daemon checks only that it is a non-empty string, and mkdirSync and writeFileSync create any missing directories and truncate any file already at that path.

  3. Delete JxaBackend.screenshotTab, its WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_JXA_SHOTS opt-in and the driver's raise command in registry/curated/system/browser-automation/src/attach/backends/jxa.ts. The lane's own comment records that its crop drifted onto neighbouring windows in live testing. Remove the method rather than leave one that throws. AttachController.screenshot moves the session to reading before it calls the method, so a refusal leaves a session on the default JXA transport in failed until a release and a new claim.

  4. When fullPage is set, add a clip to the captureBeyondViewport request in RawCdpBackend.screenshotTab (registry/curated/system/browser-automation/src/attach/backends/raw-cdp.ts), built from cssContentSize in Page.getLayoutMetrics and capped at, for example, 16,384 px per side. With captureBeyondViewport and no clip, Chrome sizes the capture to the whole page and refuses only a page of 131,072 px or more on a side (page_handler.cc), and the whole PNG is then held in memory as base64 and again as a Buffer.

  5. Update from master and take its registry/curated/system/browser-automation/tsconfig.json in the conflict. Since 5816ee06f, master builds the package as ESM, with the DOM lib and skipLibCheck added so it compiles. After the update, the branch has no tsconfig.json or package.json change left.

  6. Add a changeset under .changeset/ for @framers/agentos-ext-browser-automation with a minor bump. CONTRIBUTING.md asks for one on any change to a pack's shipped code, with minor for a new tool.

…nce directory, and the tool has side effects

The six changes asked for on this pull request.

browser_attach_screenshot has side effects, since it writes a file, so a
deny-side-effects policy gates it. AttachController.screenshot resolves
its path inside the evidence directory (~/.wunderland/attach-evidence,
WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_EVIDENCE_DIR, or the evidenceDir option) and refuses a
path that leaves it, passes through a link or names a file that exists,
before anything is captured; the file is created with flag wx and the
result gives the path written. A refused path leaves the session ready.

JxaBackend.screenshotTab, its WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_JXA_SHOTS opt-in and the
driver's raise command are removed: the crop drifted onto neighbouring
windows. A full-page capture over CDP carries a clip of the page's CSS
content size, each side cut at 16,384 px, where the whole page was
captured and held in memory twice. The branch takes master's ESM
tsconfig, and a changeset releases the pack as a minor.

The six changes are in e16678b8, after a merge of master (5b889880).

  1. AttachScreenshotTool.hasSideEffects is true, and tools.test.ts checks it on the tool and through the pack.
  2. AttachController.screenshot resolves path inside an evidence directory (~/.wunderland/attach-evidence, WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_EVIDENCE_DIR for the daemon, or the attach.evidenceDir option for the in-process controller).
    • Refused before anything is captured: a path that leaves the directory, passes through a link, or names a file that exists. The session stays ready.
    • The file is created with flag wx and mode 0600, and the result gives the resolved path.
    • Directories on the way are made one level at a time, each checked with lstat, so mkdir never follows a link out of the directory.
    • In dry-run the path is checked and reported, and nothing is made.
  3. JxaBackend.screenshotTab, WUNDERLAND_ATTACH_JXA_SHOTS and the driver's raise command are deleted. The idempotent claimAgentTab stays.
  4. With fullPage, RawCdpBackend.screenshotTab reads cssContentSize from Page.getLayoutMetrics and sends a clip cut at 16,384 px a side. The fake CDP server in raw-cdp.test.ts records the parameters: a 200,000 px page gets a 16,384 px clip.
  5. The branch is up to date with master and has no tsconfig.json or package.json change left.
  6. .changeset/browser-automation-attach-screenshot.md releases the pack as a minor.

The README has a Screenshots section and the new variable.

…nce directory through the write

The path was checked before the capture and written after it with one
writeFile, so a directory swapped for a link in between received the image.
The checks move to evidence.ts and are made twice. Before the capture the
evidence directory and each directory to the file must be a directory this
user owns that no one else can write, under directories no other user can
change (a sticky one such as /tmp is fine), as the media packs require of
the files they save. After it the directories are compared by device and
inode, the file is created with flag wx, and with it open the directories
are compared again and the file must be the one at its path, with no other
name; only then is the image written, through the handle. A write that
fails removes its file.

The session is reserved before the first await, so a goto or read called
while the path is prepared is refused; a refused path restores it to ready,
and the file is written before it is released. A session detached during
the capture writes nothing. A directory that cannot take a new file is
refused before the page is captured.

An absolute path may name the evidence directory as configured or by its
real path, which is what a written screenshot returns.

The daemon client awaited a screenshot for a fixed minute. It awaits it for
its own opTimeoutMs plus a margin for the file.
…wn file, and a close error fails the call

After a write failed, the file was unlinked by its path alone, so a file
that had taken that path meanwhile was the one removed. The bytes are now
dropped through the handle, and the file is unlinked only when the path
still reaches it: the same device and inode, one link, in the directories
as they were checked.

The handle's close was awaited with its error dropped. A file system that
reports a failed write only at close (NFS, a quota) made the call return a
path for an image that was not saved. The close after the write is awaited
and its error fails the call.

The README counts seven attach tools and lists the screenshot op.

Two more commits after a review of e16678b8 found three defects in it, and a review of the first fix found two more.

f41949e6:

  1. The path was checked before the capture and written after it with one writeFile, so a directory swapped for a link in between received the image. The checks are now in src/attach/evidence.ts and run twice.
    • Before the capture: the evidence directory and each directory to the file must belong to the session's user and be writable by no one else, under directories no other user can change (a sticky one such as /tmp is fine). These are the rules the media packs keep for the files they save.
    • After it: the directories are compared by device and inode, the file is created with flag wx, and with it open the directories are compared again and the file must be the one at its path. Only then is the image written, through the handle.
  2. The session is reserved before the first await, so a goto or read called while the path is prepared is refused. A refused path restores it to ready. A session detached during the capture writes nothing.
  3. AttachDaemonClient.screenshot awaited its answer for a fixed minute. It awaits it for the client's opTimeoutMs plus 15 seconds for the file.

93d28edf:

  1. A failed write unlinked its file by path alone, so a file that had taken the path meanwhile was the one removed. The bytes are dropped through the handle and the file is unlinked only when the path still reaches it.
  2. An error from closing the file after the write fails the call. A file system that reports a failed write at close no longer returns a path for an image that was not saved.

Tests: the swap during a capture, the reservation, a detach during a capture, directories others can write, a directory that cannot take a file, a failing write with and without another file at the path, a screenshot through the daemon queue, and the client's timeout. CI is green on 93d28edf.
