Details

fix: browser integration for AI research agent

- Dockerfile: Install Google Chrome stable instead of Playwright npm package
  (playwright-cli defaults to /opt/google/chrome/chrome path). Removed unused
  Playwright npm package, kept Playwright Python for page automation.

- bundle/bundle.md: Fix orchestrator config override with correct key path
  (session.orchestrator.config.extended_thinking: false) to properly override
  foundation's extended_thinking: true default, which was causing empty
  AI text responses.

- bundle/agents/researcher.md: Add strong pre-installed environment guardrail
  telling agent NOT to install packages. Add explicit bash() tool call examples
  showing correct playwright-cli syntax. Fix snapshot command (removed non-existent
  -ic flag), change 'type' to 'fill' for form field syntax.

- bundle/context/researcher-instructions.md: Enrich from thin pointer to
  concrete examples with correct bash() wrapping and actual playwright-cli
  commands. Add 'do NOT install' guardrail.

Validated: Agent now opens Chrome browser during research queries, noVNC panel
shows live browser activity, AI generates text responses properly.

Research Workbench — Session Context

This session runs inside the Research Workbench. You have access to the following capabilities:

CRITICAL: Pre-installed Tools

All tools are already installed. Do NOT run npm install, pip install, or any package manager. Just use the commands directly via the bash tool.

Browser Control

Live Chromium browser controlled via playwright-cli -s=research through the bash tool. The browser is persistent across commands and visible to the user via the noVNC panel. The user can take over at any time.

Quick start — open a site and see what's on it:

bash("playwright-cli -s=research open https://google.com")
bash("playwright-cli -s=research snapshot")

Click an element from the snapshot:

bash("playwright-cli -s=research click @e5")
bash("playwright-cli -s=research snapshot")

Type into a field and submit:

bash("playwright-cli -s=research fill @e3 \"search query\"")
bash("playwright-cli -s=research press Enter")
bash("playwright-cli -s=research snapshot")

Always snapshot after navigation to get fresh element refs.

Artifacts

Persistent markdown documents written to artifacts/<session_id>/. They appear in the right panel and survive across sessions.

A2UI

Inline interactive controls (filter chips, tables, card grids, forms) rendered directly in chat via a2ui code blocks.

Inline Visuals

Rich visual output (charts, maps, comparison tables with color coding) rendered directly in chat via visual code blocks.

Research Workflow

Understand the request — clarify scope and constraints
Plan — identify 2-4 sources to consult
Browse and extract — use playwright-cli via bash to navigate sites and extract data
Present — use A2UI, visuals, or artifacts to deliver results
