Low-severity hardening of the local connector, and the test runner is now Vitest 5.

  • The token is a bearer token. The HTTP API and the extension WebSocket
    accept it from Authorization: Bearer or, for the extension, a WebSocket
    subprotocol. A token in the URL is refused. The extension collects it from
    POST /.pair, which answers only a real browser-extension origin
    (chrome-extension:// with a Chromium id, or moz-extension:// /
    safari-web-extension:// with a UUID). /.identity still does not include
    it. --extension-id limits pairing and the extension socket to one
    extension.
  • --only and --exclude apply to the local API, not only to the MCP tool
    list. A shared connector enforces the filters it was started with.
  • State-changing local API calls are refused by default. Reload,
    screenshot, wipe, settings changes and tab selection need --allow-actions
    or the "Allow state-changing calls" checkbox in the BrowserTools panel.
    Closing DevTools withdraws the confirmation. Tools in the process that
    embeds the connector are not gated by this.
  • 1.x is unsupported. README and SECURITY.md tell anyone still on it to
    upgrade. The vulnerabilities fixed in 2.0 are not patched on 1.x.

Vitest 5 is a dev dependency. Node 22.12 or newer is required to run the tests,
which the existing Node 22.19 floor already satisfies.
