a6b52a5839 homelab v0.8.0: browser verbs for headful anti-bot web automation
Some checks are pending
Build infra CLI / build (push) Waiting to run
ci/woodpecker/push/default Pipeline was successful
Add `homelab browser run|open` so agents can drive the cluster's headful
Chrome (chrome-service) over CDP from the devvm. The headless playwright/mcp
browser can load anti-bot sites and fill their forms, but the gated submit
silently fails — e.g. the Stirling Ackroyd Fixflo tenant portal returned
net::ERR_FILE_NOT_FOUND on its pre-submit check and hung, creating nothing.
Driving the real headful Chrome submits first try. That capability already
existed but was undiscoverable, so it cost ~40 min + redundant form re-runs to
find; now it is one command, versioned, test-covered, and `browser --help`
carries the when-to-use signature + an error-code cheat-sheet so the right tool
is reached at the right moment (the failure was judgment, not setup).

- port-forward svc/chrome-service:9222 (tunnels API-server->pod, so it bypasses
  the :9222 NetworkPolicy), assert non-headless via /json/version,
  connect_over_cdp, inject the same vendored stealth.js the in-cluster callers
  use; the port-forward is always torn down, on success and on error.
- node CDP client pinned to playwright-core@1.48.2 to match the v1.48.0-noble
  image (Chromium 130); self-provisioned lazily into ~/.cache/homelab, no
  per-user setup.
- default is a fresh incognito context (safe for the shared browser + concurrent
  callers); --shared-context reuses the warmed persistent profile.
- TDD: cmd_browser_test.go covers arg parsing, headless detection, the version
  pin, the help cheat-sheet, and a stealth.js drift guard. Verified end-to-end
  against bot.sannysoft.com (real Chrome UA, webdriver hidden, plugins/WebGL
  spoofed) and `browser open`.
- docs: README v0.8 section, ADR-0013, and a chrome-service.md "driving from
  outside the cluster" section.
