* feat(cli): add install scripts for macOS, Linux, and Windows
Bash script (install.sh) for macOS/Linux and PowerShell script
(install.ps1) for Windows. Both download the correct platform binary
from GitHub Releases with checksum verification, version resolution,
and PATH setup.
* fix(cli): address PR review comments for install scripts
- Add checksum verification to install.ps1 using Get-FileHash
- Add warnings on all checksum skip paths in install.sh
- Use grep -F (fixed-string) instead of regex for filename matching
- Add ?per_page=100 to GitHub API call in install.ps1
- Use random temp directory name in install.ps1 to avoid collisions
* fix(cli): address installer review feedback
GoReleaser free cannot parse slash-prefixed tags (cli/v0.0.1) as semver.
Switch to browseros-cli-v0.0.1 format which is valid semver after
stripping the prefix. Remove the monorepo config (GoReleaser Pro only).
* ci(cli): change release workflow to manual dispatch from main
- Trigger via Actions UI with a version input (e.g. "0.1.0")
- Only runs on main branch
- Creates git tag cli/v<version> automatically
- Then GoReleaser builds all 6 binaries and creates the GitHub Release
* feat: add scoped release notes, changelog PR, and idempotent tags to CLI workflow
- Add concurrency group to prevent parallel releases
- Add scoped release notes from commits touching the CLI directory
- Pass release notes to goreleaser via --release-notes flag
- Make tag creation idempotent for safe re-runs
- Tag the saved release SHA, not HEAD after branching
- Add CHANGELOG.md and auto-update via PR with auto-merge
- Add pull-requests: write permission

* 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.

- packages/browseros/build/modules/package/linux.py (.deb structure, .desktop file)

* feat: auto-discover server port via ~/.browseros/server.json
Server writes its port to ~/.browseros/server.json on startup so the CLI
can auto-discover the server URL without requiring `browseros-cli init`.
Discovery chain: BROWSEROS_URL env > config.yaml > server.json > error

* fix: address review feedback for PR #504
- Use synchronous unlinkSync in stop() since process.exit() fires
immediately after, abandoning any pending async operations
- Wrap writeServerConfig in try/catch so a write failure doesn't crash
a healthy server for a convenience feature

* feat: type server discovery config and add version metadata
Add ServerDiscoveryConfig interface to @browseros/shared and enrich
server.json with server_version, browseros_version, and chromium_version.

* fix: normalize URL from server.json for consistency
All other URL sources (env var, config.yaml) pass through
normalizeServerURL; apply the same to the server.json path.
