TaskWindow v0.2.2

This one changes the extension, so updating the daemon alone is not enough:
after taskwindow install, reload TaskWindow in chrome://extensions.
taskwindow doctor flags the mismatch until you do.

Added

reload. Reloads a tab in place (optionally bypassing the cache) and waits
for the load event. There was no way to refresh a page: tabs_create is the
first tool every agent learns and needs no tab id, so "check the page again"
turned into a second tab at the same URL, every iteration. tabs_create now
says so and points at reload/navigate for a page you already have open.

Fixed

Opening a tab no longer steals focus. tabs_create focused the agent
window on every call — the default active: true ran
windows.update({ focused: true }), which also brings Chrome to the front — so
each tab an agent opened pulled you out of your own window, or out of your
terminal. active now means active within the agent window, so the page
renders and screenshots work; whatever you were in keeps focus. Click the agent
window when you want to watch.

Mouse input no longer stalls when the agent window isn't in front. Chrome
stops producing frames for a tab that is inactive or whose window is covered,
and DevTools holds a wheel event until the next frame — so scroll hung for
30 s and mouse_move/clicks took 5 s whenever you were looking at something
else, which the focus fix above makes the normal case. The page is now kept
rendering with CDP focus emulation (what Playwright does by default; the
equivalent launch flags aren't available to an extension), and a mouse action
first makes its tab the active one in the agent window. Keys and screenshots
were never affected.

A tab's existence no longer leaks across sessions. Passing another session's
tab id returned "belongs to a different agent session" while an unused id
returned "No tab with id" — two distinguishable answers, so an agent could walk
tab ids and learn which were live (and how many tabs you had open) without ever
being allowed to touch them. Both now return the same message, and it no longer
claims the tab belongs to another agent: it may equally be one of your own.
tabs_close went through its own tab lookup and bypassed the check entirely; it
now shares the single guarded path.

Changed

Agents share one window. Every new task used to open another Chrome window,
even within one session. A window holds many tab groups, so a task now joins
the window the agent is already working in — concurrent agents included — and
only the very first creates one. A pinned TaskWindow workspace tab anchors
that window: Chrome closes a window with its last tab, and one task finishing
must not take the shared window, and wherever you put it, away from everyone
else. No agent can close the anchor, since it sits outside every group. Close it
yourself if you want the window gone; the next task simply opens a fresh one.

taskwindow install is documented as the one command that installs, repairs and
updates the extension. taskwindow doctor used to point at taskwindow install --extension when extension files were missing; it now points at taskwindow install. The --extension flag still works and remains the way to install from
a local zip when the download fails.

Install

Run npm install -g taskwindow@latest, then taskwindow install. The guided installer configures the daemon and selected coding agents, downloads the extension, opens Chrome, and pairs automatically after you load the unpacked folder.

Manual archives are attached below. Run taskwindow doctor for connection diagnostics or taskwindow pair for manual recovery.
