  "how": {
    "incantation": "When an element is already focused, use `keyboard` to type, insert text, or press keys without a selector; set a persistent color scheme with `--color-scheme` or `AGENT_BROWSER_COLOR_SCHEME`. For the listed IPC, CDP, state-load, and annotation-warning fixes, use v0.14.0; its default timeout is 25 seconds and can be set with `AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT`.",
    "examples": [
      "agent-browser keyboard type \"Hello world\"",
      "agent-browser keyboard inserttext \"pasted text\"",
      "agent-browser --color-scheme dark open https://example.com"
    ],
    "gotchas": [
      "Version: v0.14.0",
      "keyboard type <text> (required): Types the provided text with real keystrokes at the currently focused element; no selector is needed.",
      "keyboard inserttext <text> (required): Inserts the provided text at the currently focused element; no selector is needed.",
      "keyboard press <key>: Release note says keyboard can press shortcuts, but the v0.14.0 docs found do not specify the syntax or key argument.",
      "--color-scheme <value>: Sets a persistent browser color-scheme preference. The release note describes dark/light; docs found do not enumerate allowed flag values.",
      "AGENT_BROWSER_COLOR_SCHEME: Environment variable for persistent dark/light color-scheme preference; exact allowed values not documented in v0.14.0 docs found.",
      "AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT: Configures the default Playwright timeout; v0.14.0 release note sets the default to 25 seconds but does not document the variable's unit or accepted syntax.",
      "Prerequisite: Use agent-browser v0.14.0 or later to get the changes described in the release note.",
      "The `keyboard` command acts at the currently focused element and does not need a selector.",
      "The color scheme preference is persistent across browser sessions.",
      "The default Playwright timeout is 25s and is configurable via `AGENT_BROWSER_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT`."

  "why_it_matters": "When automating a page where an element is already focused, send keystrokes or choose a persistent browser color scheme, or diagnose IPC, CDP reconnection, state-load, timeout, or annotation-warning behavior.",
