browser.py DOX

Purpose

• Own the browser.py helper module.
• This module holds shared browser helper state used by browser-facing integrations.
• Keep this file-level DOX profile synchronized with browser.py because this directory is intentionally flat.

Ownership

• browser.py owns the runtime implementation.
• browser.py.dox.md owns durable notes about responsibilities, contracts, side effects, and verification for that implementation.

Runtime Contracts

• Helper modules own reusable framework APIs and must preserve public callers unless all callers, tests, and docs are updated together.
• Update this file whenever public functions, classes, persistence behavior, path/security assumptions, side effects, or cross-module contracts change.
• Observed side-effect areas: filesystem reads, filesystem deletion.

Key Concepts

• This module is primarily declarative or delegates behavior through classes/imported objects.
• Keep request/response, tool, or helper semantics documented here at the same time as source changes.

Work Guidance

• Preserve public helper APIs used by core code and plugins unless every caller is updated.
• Keep path, auth, secret, persistence, network, and subprocess behavior explicit and bounded.
• Prefer adding cohesive helper functions here only when behavior is reused across modules.

Verification

• Run targeted tests for changed helper behavior; run security regressions for auth, filesystem, WebSocket, tunnel, upload, or secret-handling helpers.
• Related tests observed by source search:
  • tests/test_a0_connector_prompt_gating.py
  • tests/test_browser_agent_regressions.py
  • tests/test_download_toast_regressions.py
  • tests/test_host_browser_connector.py
  • tests/test_oauth_gemini_api.py
  • tests/test_oauth_providers.py
  • tests/test_oauth_static.py
  • tests/test_oauth_xai_grok.py
