* feat(cli): production-ready CLI with auto-launch, install, and cross-platform builds
- init: accept URL argument and --auto flag for non-interactive setup
- install: new command to download BrowserOS app for current platform
- launch: auto-detect and launch BrowserOS when server is not running
- discovery: prefer server.json (live) over config.yaml (may be stale)
- errors: actionable messages guiding users to init/install
- goreleaser: cross-platform builds for 6 targets (darwin/linux/windows × amd64/arm64)
- ci: GitHub Actions workflow to release CLI binaries on cli/v* tag push
* fix(cli): check health status code and add progress dots during launch
- Health check in newClient() now verifies HTTP 200, not just no error
- waitForServer prints dots during the 30s poll so users know it's working
* refactor(cli): make launch an explicit command, remove auto-launch from newClient
- launch: new explicit command to find and open BrowserOS app
- launch: probes server.json, config, and common ports before launching
- launch: if already running, reports URL instead of launching again
- init --auto: uses port probing to find running servers
- install --deb: errors on non-Linux instead of silently downloading DMG
- error messages: guide users to launch/install/init explicitly
- removed: auto-launch from newClient() — CLI never does something surprising
* fix(cli): platform-native detection, launch, and install for all OSes
Detection (isBrowserOSInstalled):
- macOS: uses `open -Ra` to query Launch Services (no hardcoded paths)
- Linux: checks /usr/bin/browseros (.deb), browseros.desktop, AppImage search
- Windows: checks %LOCALAPPDATA%\BrowserOS\Application\BrowserOS.exe
and HKCU/HKLM uninstall registry keys
Launch (startBrowserOS):
- macOS: `open -b com.browseros.BrowserOS` (bundle ID, not path)
- Linux: `browseros` binary, AppImage, or `gtk-launch browseros`
(fixed: was using xdg-open which opens by MIME type, not desktop files)
- Windows: runs BrowserOS.exe from known Chromium per-user install path
(fixed: was using `cmd /c start BrowserOS` which doesn't resolve)
Install (runPostInstall):
- macOS: hdiutil attach → cp -R to /Applications → hdiutil detach
- Linux: chmod +x for AppImage, dpkg -i instruction for .deb
- Windows: launches installer exe
- --deb flag now errors on non-Linux platforms
Removed auto-launch from newClient() — CLI never does surprising things.
