Every browser_open is a new tab and nothing closed them. When a job ends (answered, stopped
or failed) each bot browser it used keeps only its front page; a browser that isn't open isn't
started for this, and one another job is still using is left alone. The six-tab limit stays
for long jobs.

- A job of five or more real steps is looked back on after the answer: the short way that
worked becomes a skill (or improves the one it followed); the reply says so. The prompt has
the bot check its skills before starting.
- Upload, download and PDF on Bot 的電腦's browser look for and save files in the box, not on
the brain (a picture in a Threads post took 24 steps).
- The bot's browser keeps the six tabs used last (19 Threads tabs had filled the box's 2 GB).
- Words name the control, not the box around it: a form's 「Customer name:」, 「Large」 and
「Submit order」 used to land on the <p> holding them and do nothing.

From real runs on the cloud brain with the person's Mac (Threads patrol, a post draft, "show me my
screen"):
- computer_use_show: a plain picture of any computer's screen goes into the chat (the bot sees it
too). The bot used to describe a screenshot in words and fail to send it.
- The phone shows the bot's attachments: pictures in place, other files download on a tap (api/file,
only from the chats' file folder). It showed nothing for the bot and names only for the person.
- send_file works from the person's other computers (fetch_file over the relay, 20 MB, secrets stay).
- The same call with the same answer again and again is warned the 3rd time and stopped from the
4th (a blank tab was read 11 times, then the bot said Threads was logged out without opening it);
a blank tab says so; checking a login means opening the site.
- Screenshot lists: a nameless row around a named button isn't numbered, a nameless row takes the
words inside it, empty spacer rows aren't numbered (System Settings: 63 numbers -> 33, all named).
- Writing "in my voice" reads the person's own recent posts first.

Web
- web_fetch kept pages with a <header> only up to it (taken for <head>): articles came back as their menus.
- browser_open waits for the page to load and returns it like browser_read (one step fewer per page);
actions wait for the page to hold still instead of fixed 1-2.5 s sleeps; one way to reach the tab.
The bot's computer (box v6)
- Numbers only on what can be seen: clipped to the window and the page's visible area, none under
another app's window (a link scrolled under the toolbar was numbered on Back).
- press_key with a typed character no longer swallows the keys after it (xdotool type --args 1).
- The person's input through noVNC/TigerVNC is noticed again (fence, continuous updates, QEMU keys).
- "Nothing changed" only after clicks, scrolls and drags; long text is pasted; one screen step at a
time; one docker inspect per step when the box is known ready; poppler-utils for long PDFs.
- One typing path and fewer round trips (stdin variant, unused picture path, extra batch execs gone).
The person's computers
- Linux: the window system's front app when it has one, and the reason when there is none (was 「」);
hidden and off-screen controls get no number; wording no longer names a tool that doesn't exist.
The loop
- Without Docker, the bot's own computer runs no commands where there is no sandbox (Linux, Windows):
it was a plain shell on the brain itself, keys in reach, asked nothing.
- The bot's own computer is re-checked each step; unreachable computers are failures, not safety
blocks; no direct-mode note on every result; an empty reply is asked again; scrolling and keys
aren't counted as going in circles; steps aren't moved to a computer that can't do them.
- One finish() for every step's result, keep_grant(), dead appctl list_computers/SERVING and the
impossible server branches removed; duplicated prompt instructions merged.
Tests: 162 (Mac) / 166 (Linux) unit; real box drills 6/6 on box v6; a brain without Chrome browses
on its box; remote E2E 28/28.

- A bot's own computer is 「<bot> 的電腦」; this one and the account's others go by their names.
The server brain picked 你的電腦 by sorted host id, so a desktop left on the server won.
- 「我的電腦」 is the computer the person typed on (the relay names it); unknown means ask.
- A step moved back to the chosen computer tells the bot so.
- Composer chip and bot settings choose the computer by name; a screen asks the brain.
- A screen's 電腦 card and viewer show the brain's computer, not this one's box.
- A screen's chat copy that falls short asks for everything again instead of appending;
清除聊天記錄 on a screen clears the brain's chat.
- Model requests to a private address go through the person's computer first.
- Phone typing on the box sends the text the tool reads.

- A brain that can't reach a model at a private address (e.g. Qwen at 10.x) sends the request
through its hands; the hands only forward to addresses on their own network, and only for
their brain (uses the existing device channel, so the account server is unchanged).
- The computer chosen for a bot is binding: a step naming another computer goes to the chosen
one unless the person's message names that one (「在我的 Mac 上」).
- Browser steps follow the computer: Bot 的電腦 drives the Chromium on its own desktop (through
docker exec, no new port), 你的電腦 its browser; before, they always used this computer's.
Checked: on this Mac, Bot 的電腦 browsing opened example.com in the box's Chromium and an
unasked 你的電腦 command ran in the box; 「在我的 Mac 上」 ran on the Mac. Linux brain in Docker
with 10.0.0.0/8 blocked + this Mac as hands: model calls went through the Mac, shell on
你的電腦 answered from the Mac, browser defaulted to the Mac's.
