Edge is Chromium and already spoke the same protocol, so the only Chrome-specific code was the default-profile lookup. Add a --browser flag (chrome|edge, env CHROME_BROWSER) that selects the vendor path table, and make the DevToolsActivePort error name the right browser and inspect URL instead of always saying Chrome.

Channel aliases stay vendor-scoped (--channel chrome only for Chrome, edge only for Edge), and Edge Canary on Linux is rejected outright rather than resolved to a directory that cannot exist.

Supporting a second browser exposed a pre-existing correctness bug: the daemon was keyed only to the uid and bound to whichever endpoint the first command resolved, so every later --browser/--user-data-dir flag was silently ignored. A Chrome-bound daemon would happily answer --browser edge commands and return Chrome's results.

Key each daemon by a hash of its resolved ws URL instead. Chrome, Edge, each channel and each headless instance now get their own daemon and can be driven concurrently. The URL's browser GUID changes per launch, so a restarted browser gets a fresh daemon rather than inheriting a dead connection; the orphan exits on its existing idle timeout.

Two notes on the implementation:

  • The lock file is deliberately NOT keyed. It only serializes the brief write-pid-then-bind window, and lock files are never removed, so a per-instance lock would accumulate a file per browser session forever.
  • The new info sidecar is another predictable name in shared /tmp, so write_pid_file_checked is generalized to write_private_file_checked (O_NOFOLLOW, O_NONBLOCK, mode 0600, deferred truncate) rather than using fs::write, which follows symlinks.

kill-daemon is now target-scoped, so --browser edge kill-daemon cannot stop the Chrome daemon. --all stops every daemon for the user and is the only way to clear one whose browser has already exited, since a scoped kill has no endpoint left to resolve. --all also sweeps the pre-key chrome-devtools-daemon-.pid name so an upgrade does not strand an unreachable daemon.

Add list-daemons (PID, browser, endpoint, uptime, state; --json supported). It reads only on-disk state, so it works when every browser has exited, and flags rows whose PID is dead as stale.

Docs: the skill's "one daemon per user, bound to one Chrome" warning was backwards after this change, and the headless recipe's bare kill-daemon calls would have killed the user's daemon rather than the throwaway one — both corrected, and the recipe now warns that a temp profile is not automatically isolated in Edge, whose first-run import pulls open tabs and extensions from the default browser. Also documented that remote debugging is enabled by the persistent chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging toggle (edge://inspect for Edge), stored as
devtools.remote_debugging.user-enabled, not only by a launch flag.

Verified against a live Chrome and Edge at once: each command reached its own browser, scoped kill left the other daemon serving, --all cleared everything including stale and legacy files, and one lock file remained.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Added Chrome and Microsoft Edge selection for auto-connect, including browser-specific channels, profiles, and Edge auto-connect.
    • Added persistent, profile-scoped remote-debugging settings and dynamic port support.
    • Added list-daemons with text, JSON, and TOON output for active instances, endpoints, uptime, process IDs, and stale state.
    • Added kill-daemon --all and support for multiple concurrent browser daemons.
  • Documentation
    • Expanded guidance for browser selection, remote debugging, daemon management, cleanup, and environment variables.
  • Bug Fixes
    • Improved daemon cleanup and metadata handling while preserving compatibility with older daemon files.

Edge is Chromium and already spoke the same protocol, so the only
Chrome-specific code was the default-profile lookup. Add a --browser
flag (chrome|edge, env CHROME_BROWSER) that selects the vendor path
table, and make the DevToolsActivePort error name the right browser and
inspect URL instead of always saying Chrome.

Channel aliases stay vendor-scoped (--channel chrome only for Chrome,
edge only for Edge), and Edge Canary on Linux is rejected outright
rather than resolved to a directory that cannot exist.

Supporting a second browser exposed a pre-existing correctness bug: the
daemon was keyed only to the uid and bound to whichever endpoint the
first command resolved, so every later --browser/--user-data-dir flag
was silently ignored. A Chrome-bound daemon would happily answer
--browser edge commands and return Chrome's results.

Key each daemon by a hash of its resolved ws URL instead. Chrome, Edge,
each channel and each headless instance now get their own daemon and can
be driven concurrently. The URL's browser GUID changes per launch, so a
restarted browser gets a fresh daemon rather than inheriting a dead
connection; the orphan exits on its existing idle timeout.

Two notes on the implementation:

- The lock file is deliberately NOT keyed. It only serializes the brief
  write-pid-then-bind window, and lock files are never removed, so a
  per-instance lock would accumulate a file per browser session forever.
- The new info sidecar is another predictable name in shared /tmp, so
  write_pid_file_checked is generalized to write_private_file_checked
  (O_NOFOLLOW, O_NONBLOCK, mode 0600, deferred truncate) rather than
  using fs::write, which follows symlinks.

kill-daemon is now target-scoped, so `--browser edge kill-daemon` cannot
stop the Chrome daemon. --all stops every daemon for the user and is the
only way to clear one whose browser has already exited, since a scoped
kill has no endpoint left to resolve. --all also sweeps the pre-key
chrome-devtools-daemon-<uid>.pid name so an upgrade does not strand an
unreachable daemon.

Add list-daemons (PID, browser, endpoint, uptime, state; --json
supported). It reads only on-disk state, so it works when every browser
has exited, and flags rows whose PID is dead as stale.

Docs: the skill's "one daemon per user, bound to one Chrome" warning was
backwards after this change, and the headless recipe's bare kill-daemon
calls would have killed the user's daemon rather than the throwaway one
— both corrected, and the recipe now warns that a temp profile is not
automatically isolated in Edge, whose first-run import pulls open tabs
and extensions from the default browser. Also documented that remote
debugging is enabled by the persistent chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging
toggle (edge://inspect for Edge), stored as
devtools.remote_debugging.user-enabled, not only by a launch flag.

Verified against a live Chrome and Edge at once: each command reached its

83-89: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Consider case-insensitive browser names.

Browser::parse matches lowercase only. CHROME_BROWSER=Edge or --browser Chrome fails with "Unknown browser". Environment values are often capitalized, so a lowercase comparison avoids a confusing rejection. The same applies to channel in default_user_data_dir.

Report the sweep total including the legacy daemon.

Inline comments:
In `@README.md`:
- Line 230: Update the kill-daemon README description to scope SIGTERM signaling
and socket, info, and PID file cleanup explicitly to Unix systems; state the
non-Unix/Windows unsupported behavior without implying cleanup occurs there,
while preserving the no-op and pkill guidance.
- Around line 255-256: Update the Windows filename documentation to use
chrome-devtools-daemon-&lt;key&gt;.addr and
chrome-devtools-daemon-&lt;key&gt;.pid, and revise the Windows stop guidance to
pass the keyed PID returned by list-daemons to taskkill.

In `@skill/chrome-devtools/SKILL.md`:
- Around line 36-40: Update the Microsoft Edge channel documentation to state
that Edge Canary is unavailable on Linux, matching the validation in browser.rs
for the edge/canary combination. Keep the existing guidance for other Edge
channels and connection options unchanged.
- Around line 411-414: Update both scoped kill-daemon calls to tolerate
endpoint-resolution failure with explicit best-effort handling, while preserving
their profile-specific targets and avoiding --all. Revise Step 1 to state that a
daemon is removed only when the profile endpoint resolves.

In `@src/lib.rs`:
- Around line 582-588: Update print_daemon_list to explicitly handle
OutputFormat::Toon instead of allowing --toon to fall through to the text table;
serialize rows using the existing TOON format helper or, if unsupported,
document the text fallback in the command help. Preserve the current JSON
behavior and default text output.

Review follow-ups on the per-endpoint daemon change.

list-daemons special-cased Json and let --toon fall through to the text
table. Route both structured formats through the existing
format_structured helper instead, which already encodes TOON. The empty
list stays structural in both (`[]` / `[0]:`); the "No daemons running."
sentence remains text-only.

kill-daemon's --all summary counted failures across keyed instances plus
the legacy daemon but sized the total from keys.len(), so a legacy-only
failure could report "1 of 0". Count the legacy stop as an attempt — and
only when a legacy PID file was actually there, so the total does not
inflate on the common path. stop_legacy_unkeyed_daemon now reports
whether it found anything.

Accept browser and channel names case-insensitively, trimmed, so
--browser Edge and CHROME_BROWSER=EDGE work; error messages still quote
the name as typed. Unknown values behave as before. That made the raw
spelling visible in list-daemons, since the info file records what was
passed, so the daemon label is canonicalized (--browser EDGE and
--browser msedge both list as "edge").

Docs:

- The kill-daemon description implied it signals and cleans up on every
  platform. The signal and file removal are Unix-only; Windows prints
  that it is unsupported and touches nothing.
- Windows daemon filenames are keyed like every other platform's, so
  document chrome-devtools-daemon-<key>.addr rather than the pre-key
  name, and point the taskkill instructions at list-daemons, since there
  can now be several PIDs to choose between.
- The skill said --channel selects stable/beta/dev/canary for Edge
  without noting that Edge ships no Canary for Linux, which browser.rs
  rejects outright.
- Both scoped kill-daemon calls in the headless recipe could abort the
  script: a scoped kill must resolve its profile's endpoint, and there is
  none on a fresh profile (step 1) or after a browser that died before
  writing its port file (the EXIT trap). Both are now best-effort with
  `|| true`, still profile-scoped rather than reaching for --all, which
  would stop the user's own daemons.

Verified: --toon and --json render structurally including when empty,
alias and mixed-case spellings resolve and scope kills correctly, and the
daemon table labels canonically.

@coderabbitai All five inline findings and both nitpicks are addressed in 3256b83. Replies are on each thread; the two nitpicks weren't inline, so they're here.

Nitpick — case-insensitive browser/channel names. Done, applied to both Browser::parse and the channel matching in default_user_data_dir, with trim() as well, so --browser Edge, CHROME_BROWSER=EDGE and --channel " Beta " all resolve. Error messages still quote the name as the user typed it rather than the normalised form, and unknown values behave exactly as before. This is a strict widening — every previously valid input still resolves to the same path.

That change had a consequence worth flagging, since it wasn't in the review: the daemon info file records the --browser value as passed, so --browser EDGE started labelling its row EDGE in list-daemons, and --browser msedge labelled it msedge. I added browser::canonical_name and normalise at the spawn_daemon call site, so both now list as edge. Verified that alias and mixed-case spellings still resolve to the same instance key and that a scoped kill-daemon via an alias targets the right daemon.

Nitpick — --all failure total. Done, and the failure mode was real: failures counted both keyed instances and the legacy daemon while the total came from keys.len(), so a legacy-only failure could report 1 of 0.

Rather than unconditionally adding one to the total — which would inflate it on the common path, where no pre-key files exist — stop_legacy_unkeyed_daemon now returns whether it actually found a legacy PID file, and the sweep counts it as an attempt only when it did:

match stop_legacy_unkeyed_daemon() {
    Ok(found) => attempted += usize::from(found),
    Err(e) => { attempted += 1; failures += 1; eprintln!("{e:#}"); }
}

Validation. 176 tests pass, 4 new ones covering case-insensitive parsing, canonical naming, and that errors preserve the original spelling. cargo fmt --check clean and the clippy warning count is unchanged from the pre-existing baseline. Beyond the unit tests I exercised the runtime behaviour against a live Chrome and Edge: --toon/--json/text output including the empty-list case, alias spellings resolving and scoping kills correctly, and the daemon table labelling canonically.

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@aeroxy Thanks for the detailed update. The changes address the case normalization, canonical daemon labels, and accurate kill-daemon --all failure totals. The validation coverage is also sufficient.


✏️ Learnings added
Learnt from: aeroxy
URL: https://github.com/aeroxy/chrome-devtools-cli/pull/17

Timestamp: 2026-08-27T02:42:09.979Z
Learning: In this Rust CLI, `Browser::parse` and `default_user_data_dir` accept trimmed, case-insensitive browser and channel inputs. Error messages preserve the original user input. `browser::canonical_name` must normalize browser aliases and casing before `spawn_daemon` writes daemon metadata, so `list-daemons` consistently displays canonical names such as `edge`.

Note: Learnings are effective only in the context of similar code segments. To apply general coding guidelines, please configure review instructions. You can manage existing learnings in the app.

Second round of review follow-ups.

print_daemon_list parsed the PID file with a bare trim().parse::<u32>(),
which accepts 0. daemon_pid_alive(0) then calls kill(0, 0), and signal 0
to PID 0 probes the caller's own process group rather than a daemon — it
succeeds, so a PID file containing 0 listed as "running". Route the read
through parse_pid_file_contents, the same validation kill-daemon applies
before signalling, so 0 and values outside pid_t are rejected and the row
reports an unknown PID instead.

This also closes a gap between code and comment: a test already asserted
that PID 0 is never probed, but nothing on this path enforced it.

Docs, all three cases where a Unix-only behavior was stated as general:

- The architecture diagram still showed the pre-key
  chrome-devtools-daemon-<uid>.sock, missed when the other daemon
  filenames were keyed.
- list-daemons can only mark a row stale on Unix; Windows never probes
  liveness, so every row's state is "?" and stale never appears.
- kill-daemon --all "clears every daemon" is false on Windows, where
  kill-daemon prints that it is unsupported and stops nothing. Scoped to
  Unix, with taskkill guidance for Windows.

Also expand resolve_ws_url's doc comment to say why an explicit
--ws-endpoint takes precedence: it names the browser directly, so it must
not be second-guessed by local profile discovery, and it short-circuits
--browser/--channel, which exist only to locate a profile directory.

Verified: PID files containing 0, 4294967295 and non-numeric text all
render as unknown rather than running, and a live daemon still lists
normally.

@coderabbitai Second round addressed in a9f7112 (pushed). Replies are on each of the three threads; the nitpick wasn't inline, so it's here.

Nitpick — resolve_ws_url doc comment. Done. The priority list said what the order was without saying why, so it now explains that an explicit endpoint wins because it names the browser directly and must not be second-guessed by local profile discovery — it is how you reach a browser this machine cannot find on disk (another host, a container, a port-forwarded device, or an instance whose profile isn't where the channel tables expect). It also notes that an explicit endpoint short-circuits --browser and --channel entirely, since those exist only to locate a profile directory, with DevToolsActivePort as the automatic fallback for the ordinary local case.

On the one finding that was more than cosmetic. The list-daemons PID issue was a genuine bug rather than a style point, and worth stating plainly: kill(0, 0) probes the caller's own process group and succeeds, so a PID file containing 0 reported a daemon as running that did not exist. The fix routes the read through the same parse_pid_file_contents that kill-daemon already used, so the two paths cannot drift on what counts as a signallable PID.

The other three were documentation stating Unix-only behaviour as general, which matters here because the Windows gap is not cosmetic either — kill-daemon stops nothing at all on Windows, so a reader following the old text would have had no working way to stop a daemon.

Validation. 193 tests pass, cargo fmt --check clean, clippy unchanged at the pre-existing baseline of 8 warnings. Beyond the unit tests: PID files containing 0, 4294967295 and non-numeric text all render as unknown in both text and JSON, and a live Edge daemon still lists as running.

@aeroxy Thanks for the detailed confirmation.

The updated resolve_ws_url documentation now explains the precedence and the purpose of explicit endpoints.

Using parse_pid_file_contents in list-daemons removes the invalid PID 0 status result and keeps PID validation consistent with kill-daemon.

The Windows documentation correction is also important because kill-daemon does not stop daemons on Windows. The reported test and runtime validation cover the affected behavior.

Learning: In the Rust CLI, `list-daemons` must validate PID-file content through `parse_pid_file_contents` before it tests process liveness. In particular, PID `0` must not reach the Unix `kill(pid, 0)` liveness probe because `kill(0, 0)` probes the caller's process group and can incorrectly report a daemon as running.

Learning: In the Rust CLI documentation, describe `kill-daemon` as unsupported for daemon termination on Windows. On Windows, users must use `list-daemons` to identify the endpoint-specific PID and then use `taskkill`; this applies to keyed daemon instances.

Learning: In the Rust daemon protocol, `daemon_file_prefix()` appends the instance key on every platform. On Windows, `user_suffix()` is empty because `%TEMP%` is per-user, but daemon files still use keyed names such as `chrome-devtools-daemon-<key>.addr` and `chrome-devtools-daemon-<key>.pid`. Windows documentation should direct users to `list-daemons` to select the endpoint-specific PID before using `taskkill`.

Third round of review follow-ups.

kill-daemon signalled whatever PID it read from the PID file. A daemon
killed with SIGKILL leaves that file behind — cleanup is skipped by
design — the OS is then free to reuse the PID for another process of the
same user, and SIGTERM would land on that process instead. The --all
sweep widened the exposure by walking every PID file rather than one.

Verify against the live process instead of the recorded metadata. Cross-
checking the PID file against the info sidecar would prove nothing: both
are written by the same daemon at the same moment and go stale together.
Only the daemon binds its keyed socket, and it does so under the same
startup lock that wrote the PID file, so a live listener at that path is
proof the recorded PID is still ours, and ECONNREFUSED is proof it is
not. stop_daemon_at now probes the socket and, when nothing answers,
removes the files without signalling.

The probe sends nothing and drops the connection; the daemon treats that
as a read error and keeps serving. A daemon wedged inside a CDP call
still passes, since the kernel completes the connect from the listen
backlog without the daemon accepting.

Deliberate trade-off: if the socket file is deleted while the daemon is
alive, kill-daemon now declines to signal and the orphan exits on its
5-minute idle timeout. Leaving an orphan that self-heals is the better
failure of the two.

Also:

- short_endpoint stripped only ws://, so a wss:// endpoint — which
  --ws-endpoint accepts verbatim — rendered in list-daemons as the bare
  scheme "wss:". Strip either scheme.
- The README described list-daemons as showing running daemons; it also
  shows stale entries.
- Add anyhow context to the daemon connect paths (Unix socket, Windows
  address-file read, Windows TCP connect) and to the Windows address-file
  write. These surface in the user-visible "daemon unavailable" warning
  from run_direct_fallback.
- The four path helpers in protocol.rs restated their signatures; their
  comments now explain what the instance key is for.

Verified: a live non-daemon process recorded in a daemon PID file is no
longer signalled (it was, before this), and a real listening daemon is
still stopped normally.

@coderabbitai Third round addressed in 564e746 (pushed). Replies are on all three threads; the two nitpicks weren't inline, so they're here.

Nitpick — anyhow context on the daemon connect paths. Done, for all four operations: the Unix socket connect, the Windows address-file read, the Windows TCP connect, and the address-file write in run_daemon. Each message names the instance key and the path or address. Return behaviour is unchanged.

Worth noting where this actually shows up, since a failed connect is also the ordinary "no daemon yet" signal that run() and wait_for_daemon deliberately swallow: the context surfaces in the retry path, where run_direct_fallback prints Warning: daemon unavailable ({error}). Previously that read as a bare No such file or directory; it now identifies which daemon and which path, which matters more than it used to given there can be several.

Nitpick — protocol.rs path doc comments. Done. All four restated their signatures; they now explain what the instance key is for — that it keeps concurrent daemons from binding the same path, that a sweep can tell instances apart and signal only the intended one, and that the PID, socket and info files are keyed together so the three always describe the same instance. Platform context is kept where it carries information (Windows publishes a TCP address because it has no Unix sockets).

On the major finding. The socket-probe fix closes a real hole — before it, a PID reused after a SIGKILLed daemon would have received the SIGTERM, which I reproduced and confirmed. The thread explains why I verified against the live socket rather than comparing recorded identity, and states the one trade-off it introduces: a daemon whose socket file is deleted by hand is no longer signalled and instead exits on its idle timeout.

Validation. 178 lib tests pass (3 added this round: secure-scheme rendering, the listener guard across all four states, and PID-reuse safety), all suites green, cargo fmt --check clean, clippy unchanged at the pre-existing baseline of 8 warnings. Runtime checks against a live Edge daemon confirmed both directions: an unrelated live process is left alone, and a real daemon is still stopped.

Tip

For best results, initiate chat on the files or code changes.

@aeroxy The reported changes address the third-round findings.

The connection errors now identify the affected daemon instance and endpoint. This improves the run_direct_fallback warning without changing retry behavior.

The updated protocol.rs documentation explains how keyed paths isolate concurrent daemon instances.

The socket probe prevents kill-daemon from sending SIGTERM to an unrelated process after PID reuse. The missing-socket behavior is an explicit and acceptable safety trade-off.

The reported test and live-runtime validation cover the affected paths.

Learning: In the Rust daemon cleanup flow, verify the keyed daemon socket listener before signaling the PID. This prevents PID reuse from causing `SIGTERM` to reach an unrelated process. If the daemon socket file was manually removed, cleanup must not signal the PID; the daemon can exit through its idle timeout instead.

The socket probe added in 564e746 closed the stale-PID case but not a
startup race, correctly spotted in review.

stop_daemon_at read the PID, probed the socket and signalled without
holding any lock. A daemon can start for the same key between the read
and the probe, so the read could return a stale PID the OS has since
recycled while the probe sees the newcomer's listener. The listener then
proves only that some daemon holds the key — not that it owns the PID
already in hand — and SIGTERM lands on an unrelated process.

Take daemon::lock_daemon_files() for the whole sequence, the same lock
that covers PID-file creation and socket binding. The two observations
become one atomic step: no daemon can have appeared since the read, so a
live listener proves the PID read is that listener's. On timeout the stop
fails closed, signalling nothing, and says to retry.

This cannot be blocked by the case kill-daemon exists for: the daemon
drops the startup lock before entering its accept loop, so a daemon
wedged inside a CDP call does not hold it, and only a concurrent startup
or cleanup contends. It also composes with the daemon's own exit path,
where cleanup_at try_locks and backs off when contended — the dying
daemon skips its file removal and the caller does it instead.

The guarantee depends on run_daemon writing the PID file before binding
the endpoint, both under that lock, which was an implicit coupling. Noted
at that site so a reorder does not silently break kill-daemon.

The race is a cross-process TOCTOU and is not reproducible from a single
process, so the new test covers the enforceable half: with the lock held
via a second file descriptor, stop_daemon_at must refuse, signal nothing,
and leave the PID and info files in place for the retry.

Verified both directions after the change: a process holding the keyed
socket with its PID recorded is signalled and stopped, while a live
process recorded without a listener is spared and only its files removed.

Comment thread skill/chrome-devtools/SKILL.md Outdated
Comment thread src/daemon.rs
Fourth round of review follow-ups.

The daemon reported every CDP connection failure as "Failed to connect to
Chrome" regardless of --browser. Fixing only that prefix would have made
the message contradict itself, because the inner error from
CdpClient::connect also hardcoded Chrome:

  Failed to connect to Microsoft Edge: Failed to connect to Chrome at ws://…

So the label is threaded one level deeper, into CdpClient::connect — two
call sites, the daemon and the direct fallback — and the now-redundant
outer prefix is dropped. Adds browser::display_name for the human-readable
form, which falls back to the input so a diagnostic never silently claims
the wrong browser.

That also corrects the message users actually read, which the review did
not mention: the connect timeout said "Chrome may be waiting for a human
to approve the remote-debugging connection dialog … ask the human to
check Chrome". Under --browser edge that sent people to the wrong window.

Five doc and help sites match "Failed to connect to Chrome" as a literal
lookup key. Chrome's text still contains that exact substring, verified,
so they keep working; the skill's failure-handling heading and the --force
help text now say the browser name varies, so an Edge user recognises
their own error.

Also:

- The skill described list-daemons as showing what is running; it also
  shows stale entries on Unix.
- Remove a doc sentence duplicated onto one line in lib.rs, introduced
  when the startup-lock test was inserted ahead of that anchor in 8a04c9a.

Verified at runtime on the daemon path, the direct path and via the
msedge alias: Edge failures name Microsoft Edge, Chrome failures still
contain the documented substring, and neither message repeats itself.

@coderabbitai Fourth round addressed in dd48c04 (pushed). Replies are on both threads; the nitpick wasn't inline, so it's here.

Nitpick — duplicated doc sentence in src/lib.rs. Fixed, and it was mine: the sentence got doubled onto a single line when the startup-lock test was inserted ahead of that anchor in 8a04c9a. One copy now.

On the daemon error message. The fix went a level deeper than suggested, for a reason worth noting: labelling only handle_connection would have produced Failed to connect to Microsoft Edge: Failed to connect to Chrome at ws://…, since the inner error carried its own hardcoded brand. The label now goes into CdpClient::connect and the redundant outer prefix is gone.

It also fixed a message neither of us flagged, which is the one that actually reaches users: the connect timeout told Edge users to go and check Chrome. That is the text you see when a connection stalls on a pending consent dialog, and it was pointing at the wrong window for anyone using --browser edge.

Validation. All tests pass, cargo fmt --check clean, clippy unchanged at the pre-existing baseline of 8 warnings. Runtime checks on the daemon path, the direct (no-daemon) path, and the msedge alias confirm Edge failures name Microsoft Edge, Chrome failures still contain the Failed to connect to Chrome substring the docs use as a lookup key, and no message repeats itself.

One note on browser-backed verification for this PR generally: Edge on my machine is currently sitting on a remote-debugging consent dialog, a side effect of the repeated kill-daemon cycles this review round required — which is exactly what the timeout message above warns about. Rather than retrying in a loop against it, the daemon-lifecycle checks in this round and the last were run against a stand-in process that binds the keyed socket, and the connection-error checks against a deliberately unreachable endpoint. Both are deterministic and neither needs a human at the browser.

@aeroxy Thanks for the detailed confirmation.

The CdpClient::connect change applies the browser label at the correct layer. It prevents nested Chrome and Edge error messages.

The timeout guidance now directs Edge users to Edge. This fixes the user-visible failure path during a remote-debugging consent dialog.

The deterministic socket stand-in and unreachable-endpoint checks are appropriate for these daemon and connection-error paths.

Learning: In the Rust CLI, browser-specific connection errors must receive the display label in `CdpClient::connect`, rather than only in an outer daemon handler. This prevents nested errors such as `Failed to connect to Microsoft Edge: Failed to connect to Chrome at ...`. Connection timeout guidance must also use the selected browser label so Edge users are not directed to Chrome.

Learning: In the Rust CLI daemon lifecycle, a successful connection to a keyed Unix socket proves that a daemon listener exists for that key, but it does not by itself prove that a PID read earlier belongs to that listener. The PID read, socket liveness probe, and SIGTERM operation must be serialized with the same startup lock that protects PID-file creation and socket binding to prevent a startup race.
