PLAYWRITER_HOST now accepts full URLs like `https://x-tunnel.traforo.dev`
in addition to plain hostnames. Previously it always constructed
`http://${host}:19988` which broke when using traforo tunnels (HTTPS on
port 443).
Added `parseRelayHost()` utility that detects URL protocols and returns
correct HTTP/WebSocket base URLs. Updated all consumers:
- cli.ts: getServerUrl()
- mcp.ts: getLogServerUrl(), checkRemoteServer()
- executor.ts: checkExtensionStatus()
- utils.ts: getCdpUrl() (ws:// → wss:// for HTTPS hosts)
Plain hostnames still work as before (appends :19988).
Added docs/remote-access.md covering:
- Architecture: playwriter serve + traforo tunnel through Cloudflare
- Host and remote machine setup with env vars
- Use cases: remote Mac mini, user support, multi-machine, VM/devcontainer
- Security model: non-guessable URLs, token auth, localhost-only extension

Document the page-reuse pattern for the Framer project tab so repeated checks do not spawn duplicate tabs, and explicitly ban bringToFront in this guide to avoid interrupting the active browser window during local debugging.
Switch from getCDPSessionForPage (creates a new WS via Target.attachToTarget)
to getExistingCDPSessionForPage which reuses Playwright's internal CRSession.
This is critical for the relay server where Target.attachToTarget is intercepted
and cannot create real new sessions.
Also add FrameLocator support in accessibilitySnapshot — FrameLocator (from
locator.contentFrame()) is now auto-resolved to the real Frame object needed
for OOPIF CDP session attachment.
- New PlaywrightCDPSessionAdapter wrapping Playwright's CDPSession as ICDPSession
- New getExistingCDPSessionForPage() using context.getExistingCDPSession()
- resolveFrame() helper converts FrameLocator to Frame via elementHandle().contentFrame()
- getAriaSnapshot() frame param now accepts Frame | FrameLocator
- Executor CDP cache uses ICDPSession, borrowed sessions detach as no-op
- Test for getExistingCDPSession through the relay
- Updated framer iframe guide with alternative page.frames() example
- Bump playwright submodule to @xmorse/playwright-core@1.59.2
- Fix styles-api.md import path
- getAriaSnapshot() discovers aria refs and caches ElementHandles
- showAriaRefLabels() overlays yellow badges on interactive elements
- hideAriaRefLabels() removes labels from page
- test captures screenshots from HN, Google, GitHub
