- Remove BROWSER_USE_API_KEY env var as a read source from CLI code; config.json is the only source of truth
- Split _create_cloud_profile into daemon-safe _inner (raises) and CLI wrapper (sys.exit)
- Daemon auto-heal no longer kills process on profile creation API errors
cloud connect now works with no flags. On first use, creates a
"Browser Use CLI" profile via the Cloud API and saves the ID to
config.json. Subsequent connects reuse it (validates on each call,
recreates if deleted).
Removed --timeout, --proxy-country, --profile-id flags and their
plumbing through daemon/sessions. Power users who need custom browser
settings use cloud v2 POST /browsers directly.
- Narrow cloud --help intercept to only fire when --help is immediately
after 'cloud', so 'cloud v2 --help' still shows OpenAPI endpoints
- Guard signal handler against concurrent shutdown tasks on repeated signals
- Route error response bodies to stderr in cloud REST commands
- Replace stale port 49200 in README Windows troubleshooting
- Document coordinate clicking (click <x> <y>) in all interaction sections
- Annotate extract command as not yet implemented in README and SKILL.md
- Remove browser.extract() from Python wrapper docs (raises NotImplementedError)
- Add --session flag to global options tables in both SKILL.md files
- Add `browser-use upload <index> <path>` command for uploading files to
file input elements via the CLI
- Extract find_file_input_near_element from nested closures in tools/service.py
to a reusable method on BrowserSession, deduplicating two copies
- Add BrowserWrapper.upload() for the Python REPL
- Resolve file paths to absolute on the client side before sending to daemon
- Update SKILL.md files and README with upload command docs
Document profile subcommand as passthrough to profile-use Go binary,
add file layout section showing ~/.browser-use/ structure, update
authenticated browsing workflow examples for new profile list output.
Unify all CLI-managed files under ~/.browser-use/ (config, sockets, PIDs,
binaries, tunnels) instead of scattering across ~/.config/browser-use/ and
~/.browser-use/run/. Add profile-use Go binary as managed subcommand via
browser-use profile, with auto-download fallback and install.sh integration.
Wire cloudflared and profile-use availability checks into browser-use doctor.
Adds `--connect` to auto-discover running Chrome instances via DevToolsActivePort
files and well-known port probing, eliminating manual CDP URL construction. Fixes
daemon process hanging on `close` when connected to external browsers (--connect,
--cdp-url, cloud) by calling stop() (disconnect) instead of kill() (terminate).
The `run` command pulled in heavy SDK dependencies (openai, anthropic,
google), had a bug (await on sync get_llm), and is superseded by
`browser-use cloud` for agent execution. CLI is now purely a browser
automation interface.

Login/logout with API key persistence, versioned REST calls (v2/v3),
task polling, and OpenAPI-driven help. Stdlib only, no daemon needed.

Replace the multi-session server (server.py, SessionRegistry, portalocker locking,
PID files, orphan detection) with a minimal daemon (daemon.py) that holds one
BrowserSession in memory. Socket file existence = alive. Auto-exits when browser
dies via CDP watchdog.
