Bohdan Triapitsyn a5aa32446d feat(browser): replace the preview proxy with a real browser panel and an agent web tool (#2883)
The preview panel worked by proxying a dev server through OpenChamber's own
origin and rewriting the HTML that came back. Anything the rewriter did not
anticipate broke, and pages that refuse to be embedded never loaded at all.
This deletes the proxy (-1604 lines and its tests) and merges the preview and
browser panels into one surface backed by a real Chromium view.

What the panel is now

- A `<webview>` in its own session partition: logins and cookies persist, hot
  reload works because nothing is rewritten, DevTools are one click away.
- Annotation: pick one element, drag a region, or draw freehand, write a note,
  and it reaches chat with a screenshot of the visible page with the marks on it.
- Toolbar: hard reload, page zoom, device sizes, a light/dark switch that
  applies to the page rather than the app, and cookie/cache clearing scoped to
  the panel alone.
- Several pages at once, each tab showing the page's own favicon, and an address
  bar that suggests pages already visited in this project.
- Dev servers are listed from what is actually listening on the machine, checked
  against what a project announced, so a server is offered no matter how it was
  started. One that is still starting is waited for instead of failing.

Remote dev servers

The desktop app binds a local port and pipes raw bytes to the OpenChamber host
over the existing authenticated connection, so the page keeps its own origin at
the root of its own host. The reachable set is exactly what discovery reports
and is re-checked per connection, so an authenticated client cannot dial
arbitrary local services on the host. Links and redirects to another loopback
port stay on the machine that served the page. A tunnel that cannot be opened is
reported; it is never replaced by the plain loopback URL, which would answer
from the user's own machine under a remote address.

Agent control

Browser actions are a separate `openchamber_web` tool: open, snapshot, click,
type, scroll, inspect computed styles, resize between mobile/tablet/desktop, and
capture a screenshot into `.openchamber/screenshots/` in the project. The
existing `openchamber` tool keeps sessions, worktrees and scheduled tasks. Each
has its own setting in the new Settings -> General -> OpenChamber Tools section,
and the plugin is not injected at all when both are off.

Capability belongs to the connected client, not to configuration: a client
declares on its event stream that it can drive a page, which only a Chromium
host does. Exactly one client performs each request — it claims the request
before acting, and the first claim wins — because deciding by whose result
arrives first would be too late for a click that already happened. No client
listening is answered immediately with an explanation rather than a timeout.

Runtime boundaries

Web tabs get a plain iframe that can display a page but not inspect one. The
VS Code extension no longer offers the surface at all, since nothing that makes
the panel worth having works there. Mobile is unaffected.

Native boundary

Camera, microphone, location and device-picker requests from panel pages are
denied — Electron grants them by default when no handler is set, and the panel
loads whatever address the user types. Page capture, appearance emulation and
storage clearing verify that their target belongs to the panel's own session
instead of trusting a web-contents id from the renderer.

Persisted state

Stored `preview` tabs migrate to `browser` (v13 -> v14). Context panel tab
limits are now per surface, so filling one surface no longer evicts another's
tabs. Address history is stored per project and per runtime.

Documentation

`preview.mdx` and `desktop-browser.mdx` rewritten across all locales, the agent
tool settings path corrected, new `DOCUMENTATION.md` for the browser-control
broker and the dev tunnel, and the `ui-api-decoupling` skill updated where it
still described the deleted proxy.

Pascal AndréandBohdan Triapitsyn 49a1424e5f feat: add complete French localization (#1482)
* feat: add French locale runtime

Add French to OpenChamber's shared i18n runtime, dictionaries, and parity tests so the existing language picker can load a complete fr locale across shared UI surfaces.

* fix: localize shared UI formatting

Remove remaining shared UI locale hardcodings so dates, numbers, and first-party helper copy follow the active app locale instead of leaking English on French surfaces.

* feat: localize VS Code French surfaces

Localize VS Code bootstrap, native runtime messages, panel titles, and manifest contribution strings so French users get consistent first-party copy across the extension experience.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 correct French review findings

Fix broken French relative-time and weekday strings reported on PR #1482 and restore proper import order in quota utils without broadening scope.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 address final PR review comments

Capture the localized More Info label once in the VS Code CLI-missing flow and replace the remaining inline French-only utility strings with dictionary-driven copy plus required locale keys.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 normalize French glossary

Correct glossary-level French terminology on the live PR branch, keeping canonical technical terms like PR, worktree, stash, HEAD, Mermaid, Markdown, remote, and session while replacing misleading literal translations.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 refine French terminology pass

Clean up remaining glossary mistakes on the French PR branch, especially around Mermaid, Markdown, PR, worktree, stash, branch, remote, and commit terminology, while keeping behavior unchanged.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 clean remaining French false friends

Correct the SOCKS5 mistranslation and a final small set of obvious false-friend technical nouns on the French branch without changing behavior.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 correct French glossary terms

Replace remaining false-friend translations in the French UI dictionaries and normalize technical labels for the French PR branch.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 remove remaining French Mermaid false friend

Replace the last confirmed Sirène translation with Mermaid and re-run the requested blacklist and build verification on the PR branch.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 enforce French glossary policy

Keep skill/PR/worktree/remote terminology developer-credible in French and remove remaining machine-translated Git and settings copy.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 keep prompt terminology in French

Replace remaining technical invite translations with prompt wording across scheduled tasks, multi-run, prompt templates, and Magic Prompts.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 finalize French terminology cleanup

Polish remaining worktree/remote wording, remove visible metadata leakage, and correct final Git and settings labels on the French PR branch.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 polish final French strings

Correct the last aria-like artifacts and awkward worktree/remote/GitHub URL phrasing in the French dictionaries.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 normalize final French glossary framing

Tighten the last worktree/remote/checkout wording and fix remaining French grammar around canonical technical terms.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 align final developer glossary wording

Normalize the last French framing around canonical developer terms like worktree, remote, prompt, and checkout.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 harmonize final French sentence framing

Replace the last raw franglais around checkout, remote, worktree, and prompt-facing labels with more natural French framing while keeping the chosen technical terms.

* fix: TASK-2026-05-30-008 add compact relative date keys

Replace French-specific prefix stripping in compact session date labels with dedicated i18n keys across locale dictionaries, preserving existing compact label output while making French wording robust.

* docs: add French documentation

* docs: mention French locale folder
