# Browser Setup

One-time environment initialization, run on a fresh openclaw container. No root required.

## Notes

The openclaw environment ships with Chromium pre-installed by default; `setup.sh` prefers it and only falls back to downloading via Playwright if it's not found.

**The primary path for screenshots and browser actions is: Chrome + direct CDP.**
setup.sh creates a `~/.local/bin/chrome-cdp` launcher script.

**`mcp doctor --probe` gives false positives.**
It returning ok only means the MCP server process started — not that Chromium can actually run. The only reliable check is: `playwright__browser_navigate` actually returning page content.

## Execution order

### Step 1: Run the core setup script

```bash
bash scripts/setup.sh
```

The script does three things:
1. **Chromium detection**: prefers the system-preinstalled Chromium, falling back to a Playwright download if not found
2. **`chrome-cdp` launcher script**: `~/.local/bin/chrome-cdp`, wrapping the `--headless=new --no-sandbox --remote-allow-origins=*` flags
3. **Chinese fonts**: downloads WenQuanYi Micro Hei from GitHub into `~/.local/share/fonts/`

### Step 2: Try configuring the built-in browser (optional, often ineffective)

Edit `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` (`config.patch` refuses to modify protected paths, so the file must be written by hand):

```json
{
  "browser": {
    "noSandbox": true,
    "ssrfPolicy": {
      "allowedHostnames": [
        "your target product domain (e.g. app.example.com)",
        "the corresponding login domain (e.g. xxx.us.auth0.com)"
      ]
    }
  }
}
```

After editing: `browser stop → gateway restart → wait 15s → browser start`

> ⚠️ **The SSRF allowlist often doesn't take effect** (the gateway has a runtime cache and doesn't always pick up the file).
> If `browser navigate` still reports `blocked by policy`, **immediately abandon the built-in browser and switch to direct CDP (see TOOLS.md)** rather than continuing to restart-and-retry.

### Step 4: Initialize TOOLS.md

```bash
cp "$(dirname "$0")/../TOOLS.md" ./TOOLS.md
```

### Step 6 (optional): Install browser-use

```bash
bash scripts/setup-optional.sh
```

### Step 7: Smoke test

```bash
# Start Chrome CDP
chrome-cdp &
sleep 2

# Verify CDP is reachable
curl -s http://localhost:9223/json | python3 -m json.tool | head -20

# Verify with a screenshot (see the CDP screenshot flow in REFERENCE.md)
```

Acceptance criteria: CDP `/json` returns a target list, and Chinese text in screenshots renders cleanly with no mojibake.
