agent-browser adds Lightpanda engine selection

Introduced 2026-03-08 · score 0.96

HOW TO USE IT

When automating a browser task with Lightpanda, run `agent-browser --engine lightpanda open <url>`; this selects Lightpanda and implies native mode. Alternatively, set `AGENT_BROWSER_ENGINE=lightpanda` for the CLI invocation.

agent-browser --engine lightpanda open <url>
AGENT_BROWSER_ENGINE=lightpanda agent-browser open <url>

WHY THIS HELPS

When running browser automation with Lightpanda, select that browser engine for the task.
