Runs the real CLI command classes in the Docs Workbench Shell, with serial execution, cancellation and matching output. Local-only agent setup fails before loading installer code or reading caller credentials. The genuine registry retains that command with an unsupported reason and excludes its installer from the emitted bundle.

Current head 664166eb730e9c7b010c7b66b3b1978c8020adbe is a normal one-file successor to 17e601d4447a342bbe9734f7410f6f85c63f605f, on accepted CLI85 main 637f9991342279133bb000a7db01574bcffaf174. It fixes the current verifier scratch-file finding: the real build writes its metafile into the already-required, ignored dist-browser output and removes that exact file in finally, including producer/read failure. The verifier no longer requires a writable home directory or leaves a scratch/evidence directory. Bundle, refusal, POST, output and fetch-restoration assertions are byte-identical. Current-head hosted verification is complete: Node 22 passed 1,164 tests/118 files, format/lint/typecheck/build, the real 382-command artifact and POST/refusal checks, package dry-run, production audit (0) and release-evidence 3/3; Windows lifecycle passed 2/2. Both actual logs were read. Tested synthetic f33bf4ba579c1039a4fd652311cbd3a5463a3002 has ordered parents 637f9991 + 664166eb and tree 60696819120f2a6b86388b828de99e3cf16c126b, exactly equal to the current PR head. All 11 inline threads are resolved, including the verifier finding; its follow-up independently confirms the source fix. The final CodeRabbit check is neutral/rate-limited, not a new review or approval; no review was requested. Main has no enforced review rules. These exact-head results supersede only the prior pending successor qualification.

Old head 8b42b62c, authored patches and authors are preserved in backup/rebase-20261028-cli90-8b42b62c-after-cli85. The four feature patches remain. Zod stays at 4.6.7; CLI85's process helper, native fixture and both workflows are byte-identical to accepted main.

Predecessor 17e601d4 evidence: Node 24.15 passed 1,164 tests in 118 files, format, lint, typecheck, Node build, reference check, four metadata tests, package dry-run and production audit (0 vulnerabilities). Installed Actionlint v1.7.12 passed both workflows. Pre-load tripwires and the actual emitted artifact demonstrated refusal before loader/environment/config/installer access; its dependency graph excluded the installer and native packages. The same artifact recorded the text-send POST and exact CLI output using synthetic transport. Source checkpoint.

Predecessor hosted Node 22 verification passed 1,164 tests/118 files, the 382-command emitted-artifact check and production audit (0); Windows lifecycle passed 2/2. The hosted artifact embeds synthetic merge 5625cd8deb686c2eabc6f6d81d76c12dcbefc735, whose tree equals predecessor 17e601d4; it is not labelled as a local commit artifact.

Part Disposition
API Unaffected: no endpoint, scope, wire shape or API source binding changes. Synthetic POST verifies the existing route only.
SDKs Unaffected: exact package pin, lock graph and serialization remain; the pinned SDK's opaque-key limitation remains a separate gate.
CLI Updated: browser runner, policy-aware registry and pre-load refusal; current successor changes only verifier metadata lifetime.
Docs README browser-module guidance is included. Workbench/Docs bundle adoption, rendered acceptance and customer publication remain blocked with their owners; no Docs source is adopted here.
Feature release Source merge only after exact-head CI/review guard. No installer, registry publication, API availability or deployed browser acceptance is claimed.
Admin Unaffected: no persisted state, staff field/action, capability or operational control is added.

Current-head CI and review-thread disposition above are verified. Release owns exact-head merge. Publication, deployed browser/Docs acceptance and staging remain separate and deferred.

Walkthrough

This pull request adds a browser entry point for running CLI commands, browser-compatible replacements for selected Node.js and local-only APIs, and scripts to generate, build, and verify a browser bundle.

Changes: Browser CLI runtime

Layer / File(s) Summary
Browser runtime compatibility
src/browser/stubs/buffer*.ts, src/browser/stubs/path.ts, src/browser/stubs/process.ts, src/browser/stubs/events.ts, src/browser/stubs/crypto.ts, src/browser/stubs/misc.ts, src/browser/stubs/os.ts
Adds browser implementations for selected Node.js utilities, including Buffer operations, POSIX path helpers, process metadata, events, and crypto helpers.
Unsupported platform API stubs
src/browser/stubs/unsupported.ts, src/browser/stubs/fs*.ts, src/browser/stubs/packages.ts, src/browser/stubs/unavailable.ts
Adds filesystem and local-only package stubs. Unsupported operations use browser-specific errors; missing filesystem reads use ENOENT errors.
Command registry and execution
src/browser/command-support.ts, scripts/gen-browser-registry.mjs, src/browser/registry.gen.ts, src/browser/index.ts, test/browser/*
Defines unsupported-command reasons and generates command loaders. Adds browser command parsing, resolution, and serialized execution. Tests cover command behavior, registry consistency, browser utilities, and agent setup refusal before local installer functionality is accessed.
Browser bundle and validation
scripts/build-browser.mjs, scripts/verify-browser.mjs, package.json, .gitignore, eslint.config.js, README.md, internal/agent-sessions/*
Adds a browser-targeted ESM build and verification scripts. The build writes a manifest; verification checks bundle contents and runs browser command checks. Adds npm commands, excludes generated output from Git and ESLint, and documents browser build steps and integration checkpoints.

Merge Risk: Low · previous review 17e60

Browser verification may fail where the home directory is read-only and leaves files behind after each run. This is a bounded workflow issue to fix or explicitly accept before merging.

Review comments at @scripts/build-browser.mjs:
- Line 9: Add esbuild as a direct devDependency in package.json and pin it
consistently with the project’s other build tools, so scripts/build-browser.mjs
no longer relies on a transitive dependency.

Review comments at @src/browser/index.ts:
- Line 44: Update the command lookup in resolveCommand to check that id is an
own property of COMMAND_LOADERS, so inherited Object.prototype keys are treated
as unknown commands rather than invoked.
- Around line 128-135: Update BrowserIo with an optional cancellation signal and
connect it to the command’s existing abort path in runCommand. Ensure
cancellation aborts the active command but keep shared process and fetch state
in place, and the queue blocked, until command._run() actually settles; only
then restore shared state and allow the next command to run.
- Around line 152-159: Update the browser output contract used by
`proc.stdout.write` and `proc.stderr.write` so `Uint8Array` PCM chunks reach a
binary-capable `io.write` unchanged instead of being converted with `String`; if
the writer must remain text-only, reject binary output before it reaches these
callbacks.

Review comments at @src/browser/index.ts:
- Around line 247-249: Update the runner’s abort handling around `interrupt` and
`added` so an abort that occurs before command listeners register is not lost.
After the command loader resolves and before `_run()`, check whether `io.signal`
is already aborted and stop with the abort exit result; also retain the abort
state so listeners registered after `_run()` begins still receive `SIGINT`.

Review comments at @src/browser/stubs/events.ts:
- Around line 24-26: Update the listener-removal logic using #listeners so each
call removes only the most recently added registration matching listener, rather
than filtering out every match; preserve the order and behavior of all remaining
registrations.
- Line 39: Update the `emit` method so emitting an `error` event with no
registered listeners throws the emitted error instead of returning false;
preserve the existing behavior for other events and for `error` events that have
listeners.

Add a browser build of the CLI (npm run build:browser) that runs the same
command classes as the installed CLI from a list of words, with the
environment, fetch and output writer passed in. Node built-ins and
local-only packages resolve to browser stand-ins; commands that need files,
the keychain, a terminal or a local server say they need the installed CLI.
Each command loads on demand.

The docs use it for their Shell, so its output, flags and errors match the
installed CLI.
A second command started while one runs now waits for it instead of
throwing. The fetch passed in must not call globalThis.fetch, which
points at it while a command runs.
- Write callbacks run, as Node's do once a chunk is flushed, so commands
  that wait for them (listen) continue. UTF-8 byte chunks are decoded;
  other bytes stop the command with the installed-CLI message, and
  calls media, whose output is binary PCM, is refused before it runs.
- BrowserIo takes an optional signal. Aborting calls the SIGINT
  listeners the running command registered, its existing stop path; the
  shared process and fetch are restored only after the command returns,
  and listeners it left behind are removed.
- The browser process and its streams are emitters with
  removeListener; a once() listener can be removed by its function.
- Inside double quotes, a backslash escapes only $, `, ", \ and newline.
- Commands resolve by own property, so "constructor" is unknown.
- esbuild is a declared dev dependency.
- zod 4.6.7 fixes GHSA-mrhx-c7xc-m3w5, which failed the production audit.
- A command interrupted while its code loads never starts (exit 130).
  An abort before the command registers its SIGINT listener reaches it
  when it is added, through newListener, which Node's process emits and
  the browser emitter now does too.
- removeListener removes only the most recent registration of a
  listener, and an unhandled error event is thrown, as in Node.

final JSON’s evidence field refers to that directory, remove the field or retain
