feat: browse handoff — headless-to-headed browser switching (v0.7.4)#201
Conversation
Add `handoff` and `resume` commands that let users take over a visible Chrome when the headless browser gets stuck (CAPTCHAs, auth walls, MFA). Architecture: launch-first-close-second for safe rollback. State transfer via extracted saveState()/restoreState() helpers (DRY with recreateContext). Auto-handoff hint after 3 consecutive command failures.
Covers saveState/restoreState, failure tracking, edge cases (already headed, resume without handoff), and full integration flow with cookie and tab preservation across headless-to-headed switch.
Add User Handoff section to browse/SKILL.md.tmpl with usage examples. Update State Persistence TODO noting saveState/restoreState reusability.

Merge conflict resolution: main advanced to v0.8.1, bump handoff feature to v0.8.2. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

Summary
$B handoff "reason"opens a visible Chrome at the exact same page with all cookies and tabs.$B resumepicks up with a fresh snapshot.handoffinstead of watching the AI retry.recreateContext()refactored to sharedsaveState()/restoreState()helpers (DRY).browser.close()timeout to prevent hangs on headed browsers (macOS).Architecture
Launch-first-close-second: new headed browser starts before old headless closes. If headed launch fails, headless stays running — zero downtime. State transfer via cookies + localStorage + sessionStorage + URLs.
