Tabrix v2.0.8 Release Notes

Release date: 2026-04-15

Context

v2.0.8 focuses on browser bridge execution reliability, Windows startup experience, browser-readiness diagnostics, and release hardening before the next public rollout.

Added

• Browser bridge execution channel hardening:
  • daemon status now reports richer bridge state snapshots, including command-channel readiness.
  • Claude acceptance assets and current acceptance matrix were formalized for release tracking.
• Browser readiness persistence:
  • setup, register, and doctor flows now resolve and persist the preferred browser executable path for future launches.

Improved

• Browser automation recovery flow:
  • stronger recovery diagnostics for browser-not-running, bridge-degraded, and command-channel readiness states.
  • safer browser-tool guidance after navigation and tab switching to reduce premature execution on unsettled pages.
• Windows launch behavior:
  • browser auto-start now prefers direct executable launch instead of cmd /c start, reducing visible black-console flashes.
• Browser tool UX:
  • non-web tabs (chrome://, chrome-extension://, similar internal pages) now return structured guidance instead of noisy injection failures.

Fixed

• Stabilized Claude real-session dialog handling:
  • prompt dialog handling now succeeds without leaving blocking desktop popups behind.
  • acceptance cleanup remains responsible for removing temporary tabs and local smoke listeners.
• Fixed CI/platform mismatch in browser-config tests:
  • browser platform detection now uses one consistent platform source, preventing Windows-path tests from failing on GitHub Actions runners.
• Fixed startup/runtime noise:
  • duplicate context-menu runtime errors are consumed instead of polluting extension error pages.
  • CSP-blocked data: image fetches were replaced by direct local decoding.
