AskJev 1.7.3

AskJev 1.7.3

Talk to Claude → AskJev drives Brave/Chrome → TypeSafe Jev decides on-page.

Latest main after 1.7.2, including #42 (never open the user's real browser profile + sign-out Guard) published as 1.7.3.

Setup

1. Prefer npx -y askjev-mcp once published on npm
2. Or load unpacked extension/ / askjev-chrome-1.7.3.zip
3. Options → paste TypeSafe API key → Auto-connect, or install askjev-1.7.3.mcpb in Claude Desktop

What's in this release

• Never open the user's real Chromium profile via Playwright persistent context (prevents cookie-store wipe)
• Refuse ASKJEV_PROFILE_DIR when it resolves to a real browser profile
• AskJev's own profile stays persistent across restarts
• Guard treats signing out as irreversible (kept from #42)

Assets

• askjev-mcp-1.7.3.tgz — npm pack / npx GitHub fallback
• AskJev-extension-1.7.3.tgz / askjev-chrome-1.7.3.zip — load unpacked
• askjev-1.7.3.mcpb — Claude Desktop Extension

Prefer npx -y askjev-mcp once published; otherwise use the GitHub tarball.

What’s in this release

• One-click Claude Desktop .mcpb (API key in install dialog)
• Shared browser across askjev-mcp processes
• Autopilot parity, target-id validation, confidence gate / stuck detection
• Correctness pass: System One JSON state, Windows browser detection, Guard fails closed

Assets

• askjev-mcp-1.7.2.tgz — npm pack / npx GitHub fallback
• AskJev-extension-1.7.2.tgz / askjev-chrome-1.7.2.zip — load unpacked

AskJev 1.7.1 — Easy Auto-connect

AskJev 1.7.1

Talk to Claude → AskJev drives Brave/Chrome → TypeSafe Jev decides on-page.

Setup

1. Load unpacked extension/ (or use askjev-chrome-1.7.1.zip)
2. Options → paste TypeSafe API key → Auto-connect (downloads Connect script)
3. Double-click Connect script once → Quit & reopen Claude
4. Chat: open example.com and click More information

What’s new

• Auto-connect downloads the Connect script (writes Claude config + ~/.askjev/api-key) — JSON copy is backup only
• Always-on CDP Autopilot env (ASKJEV_MODE=cdp + Brave)
• MCP reads API key from env or ~/.askjev/api-key
• Launch README + multi-step demo prompt

Assets

• askjev-mcp-1.7.1.tgz — npm pack / npx fallback
• AskJev-extension-1.7.1.tgz / askjev-chrome-1.7.1.zip — load unpacked
• askjev-1.7.1.mcpb — Claude Desktop Extension (legacy pairing path; prefer Auto-connect)

Prefer npx -y askjev-mcp once published; otherwise use the GitHub tarball.

AskJev v1.5.7 — offscreen bridge + quiet Guard

Highlights

• Reliable Claude/Cursor control: Agent-bridge WebSocket moved to an MV3 offscreen document so askjev_list_tabs / askjev_status / askjev_act no longer drop with extension disconnected when the service worker goes idle.
• Quiet Guard: requireConfirmOnAsk defaults to false. Soft asks don’t freeze browsing. Narrowed keywords so GitHub “confirm” / long PR titles and cookie “Accept” don’t trap. Escape + Dismiss still work.
• ASKJEV_BRIDGE_ONLY=1: LaunchAgent can own 127.0.0.1:17373 forever (WS only); Claude attaches as peer.
• askjev_status: if paired but status RPC fails → paired:true + warning (never looks fully offline).

Assets

File	Use
askjev-chrome-1.5.7.zip	Load / reload Brave or Chrome extension
askjev-mcp-1.5.7.tgz	npx / local MCP package

Verify bridge survives RPC

1. Reload extension from the chrome zip; keep Agent Bridge armed.
2. Call askjev_status → askjev_list_tabs → askjev_status from Claude.
3. Success = no extension disconnected; popup stays Connected.

AskJev v1.5.6

AskJev 1.5.6 — Autopilot + Claude→Jev hardening

Fixes / improvements

• Autopilot: stronger step-1 guards (DONE → CLICK or SCROLL; DONE+target never early-exits)
• Guard: dismiss/Escape policy helpers; Jev decide timeout 8s → 12s
• MCP: clearer not_paired errors with hints; askjev_status explains listen vs attach (Claude double-spawn safe since 1.5.5)

Assets

• askjev-chrome-1.5.6.zip — load unpacked / CWS zip
• askjev-mcp-1.5.6.tgz — npm package (publish pending)
• askjev-1.5.6.mcpb — Claude Desktop Extension one-click install

AskJev 1.5.5 — MCP double-spawn + zinc ops + Claude .mcpb

AskJev 1.5.5

Highlights

• Zinc ops UI: popup / options / sidepanel — neutral zinc, no neon; API-key warning banner.
• One-click Claude Desktop Extension: install askjev-1.5.5.mcpb, paste pairing token from Options → Advanced.
