📄 Description

Summary

After #2346, docs/browser-observation.md contradicts itself. "Start a browser" says "REA needs the browser's HTTP discovery endpoint", but the "Browsers without HTTP discovery" section lists six passive tools that accept a loopback browser socket. Both places also state the pipe/private-channel limitation. This PR rewords the first statement and links the section. It keeps one pipe statement and moves the workaround next to it.

Refs #2288: option 1 landed in #2287 and option 2 in #2346. This PR only aligns the docs; option 3 (pipe transport) is untouched.

Problem and expected behavior

A reader who stops at "Start a browser" may give up on a browser that exposes only a browser socket, although the route is documented about 20 lines later. Expected: one consistent statement.

Change and scope

  • The paragraph after the Chromium-family notes now says REA attaches through HTTP discovery or, for some passive tools, a browser socket, and links the section. The error-code sentence is unchanged.
  • That paragraph's pipe sentence is removed. The one at the end of "Browsers without HTTP discovery" gains the workaround: reproduce the page in a Chromium-family browser started with --remote-debugging-port.
  • Not included: the tool list, the Chrome toggle wording, any runtime change.

Contribution scope: documentation within existing boundaries; maintainer scope decision not applicable.

Contract and boundary impact

  • Semantic owner and earliest changed stage: docs/browser-observation.md.

  • Contribution scope fit and linked maintainer decision: documentation-only; not applicable.

  • CLI and MCP/tool-catalog contract: none.

  • Provider, bridge, target-format, or platform compatibility: none.

  • Evidence, artifact, provenance, or reconstruction contract: none.

  • Target selection, authority, upstream behavior, and cleanup details (if applicable): not applicable.

  • Generated metadata (docs/public/product-catalog.json), package, or installation impact: none; no generated files changed.

  • Read existing files or captured data.

  • Launch or attach to a process.

  • Inject instrumentation or run scripts/code.

  • Change process memory, registers, files, or configuration.

  • Contact network services.

  • Recover protected code or work around protections.

  • Documentation or usability only; no target interaction.

  • Not sure yet; investigation or maintainer guidance needed.

Evidence and regression coverage

  • Tests added or updated: none (documentation only).
  • Base reproduction or other evidence (source and link checks):
    • On cbc0e97, line 101 says "REA needs the browser's HTTP discovery endpoint", while lines 140-143 list the tools that accept a browser socket.
    • The new link reuses the anchor that "Request boundary" already links (#browsers-without-http-discovery).
    • endpoint_unreachable is raised for both HTTP discovery (src/browser/CdpEndpoint.ts) and WebSocket open failures (src/browser/CdpConnection.ts). The unchanged error-code sentence therefore still holds after the socket mention.
  • User-visible CLI/MCP output (if applicable): not applicable.
  • Remaining proof gaps: no browser run, because no behavior changed.

Validation performed

All on commit 1f29b03 (main cbc0e97 plus this change):

  • npm run check — passed (6/6 tasks; format:check ran on this commit, the other tasks were turbo cache hits; architecture guards passed across 1394 source files).
  • npm run docs:check — passed (1 file, 5 tests).
  • npm run verify:package — passed (207 MCP tools).
  • npm pack --dry-run — passed (1648 files); docs/ is not in the tarball.

Compatibility, safety, and release

  • Breaking changes or migration steps: none.
  • Real Hopper/Ghidra, browser, or OS coverage: not applicable (wording only).
  • Package or release metadata impact: none; docs/ is not in the npm package.
  • Security, privacy, process, or containment review: none.

Author readiness

Human owner: @0xRafie

  • I reviewed the final diff and relevant existing code, understand the change and its edge cases, and take responsibility for the complete PR, including AI-assisted work.
  • I checked the evidence above, confirmed it supports the current change, and recorded meaningful validation gaps.
  • I declare this PR ready for initial maintainer review.

Before merge

  • This PR addresses a concrete problem or an agreed enhancement.
  • Material scope and authority questions are resolved, and any required maintainer scope decision covers the final diff.
  • The PR has one focused outcome and the title follows type(scope): outcome.
  • Related issue is linked, or the reason for not linking one is stated above.
  • Tests cover changed observable behavior and meaningful failure paths. (Documentation only; no behavior change.)
  • Owning docs, contracts, and generated metadata are updated where needed.
  • User-visible CLI/MCP changes include representative output. (Not applicable.)
  • I checked the final diff for secrets, unrelated cleanup, and unsupported claims.
