Binds its local server to LOOPBACK (127.0.0.1) only, so no Windows Firewall 'allow Node through the firewall' prompt ever pops. Chrome for Testing is fetched only as a LAST RESORT if the machine has no Chromium browser at all. SPAWN-VERIFIED fallback: pup tries each detected browser (Chrome \u2192 Edge \u2192 CfT) and actually launches it, falling through to the next if one won't start (and handling browsers like Edge that relaunch onto another PID), so a corrupt/partial install never hard-fails an open. The browser that launches is cached as the default (persisted across restarts) so it isn't re-probed each time. On spawn the bridge SELF-WARMS: detects browsers + disk, and only if the box has no Chrome/Edge and no cached CfT does it background-fetch CfT so the first open is instant. browser_use pins a specific browser (chrome | edge | cft | auto); {browser:'chrome',install:true} downloads & installs REAL Google Chrome (user-scoped, no admin) on an Edge-only box. browser_readiness (READ-ONLY) reports which browser will be used + the full candidate list + the default + free disk. Every failure returns a specific errorCode + _hint (chrome_install_no_disk, chrome_download_network, chrome_install_permission, chrome_stable_not_detected, \u2026). Launches with FULL browser permissions by default for full debug (strictPermissions:true opts out). Headful automation: open/close windows+tabs, navigate, screenshot, eval JS, record. pup is a GENERIC, non-profile browser only \u2014 every session is a fresh isolated Chrome/Edge process, never the user's real signed-in browser; profile defaults to sessionId.
