PAUITerm 26.8.1

Released August 3, 2026

Gave Codex and Claude first-class, automatic access to PAUITerm's Browser Workspace, and made the in-app browser reliable for local development.

What’s New

›Codex and Claude sessions launched inside PAUITerm now receive the pauiterm_browser MCP server automatically — no global Codex or Claude configuration, AGENTS.md, CLAUDE.md, or project instruction file is modified
›Requests like “use the built-in browser,” “review this UI,” or “test this URL” are routed to PAUITerm's Browser Workspace by default
›Added agent browser tools: browser_status (availability check), open_url (opens a visible PAUITerm browser tab instead of an external browser), browser_tabs (lists the project's open tabs), and inspect_page (a bounded, read-only semantic snapshot for UI review)
›Page inspection deliberately excludes cookies, local/session storage, saved passwords, and form-field values
›Browser requests carry their originating project ID, so a URL opened by an agent appears in the correct project — PAUITerm brings a background project forward when its agent opens or inspects a page

›HTTP and HTTPS now work consistently with localhost, loopback addresses, *.localhost, *.local, private-LAN hosts, and normal live domains; self-signed certificates are accepted only for genuinely local hosts
›An unreachable HTTPS server now shows a clear “Can't reach this site” page with a retry link, keeping the requested URL visible in the address bar
›Clicking or focusing the browser or Live Preview address bar keeps keyboard input in that field; the Live Preview address is an editable input that navigates on Enter
›The agent bridge starts early during app launch with a retrying handshake, so startup timing races can no longer leave the browser permanently reported as unavailable — agent-to-browser requests use an authenticated loopback connection whose token is never exposed to inspected pages
›Layout synchronization now uses generation tracking so an older async resize/show/hide can never override a newer one
›Replaced the hard-coded white webview backing surface with the current theme color, reducing white flashes while pages load or resize

›Fixed blank or white pages when opening local development URLs such as https://relay.localhost:3443/
›Fixed Codex mistaking PAUITerm's browser for the separate Codex/ChatGPT iab backend and failing with “Browser is not available: iab” — the bundled Codex browser skill is disabled only for the PAUITerm-launched session
›Fixed navigation and webview creation failures being silently swallowed — they now appear as dismissible inline errors
›Fixed panes that could flash, turn white, or reappear over a modal during rapid layout, project, tab, or overlay changes
›Fixed the entire in-app browser appearing white when opening the Password Manager — the modal is now contained inside the browser pane, hiding only that pane's native tab
›Fixed QR code popovers being hidden behind native browser or preview webviews, with per-overlay blocker identity so one closing popover cannot reveal a webview still covered by another
›Live Preview only advertises a LAN QR address after confirming the port is actually reachable through the machine's LAN address, avoiding QR codes that send a phone to its own 127.0.0.1

›Windows and Linux installers are still being finalized.
›The in-app browser does not include full DevTools, a network inspector, a downloads manager, or per-site permission prompts — inspect_page is a semantic inspection tool, not a pixel screenshot or developer-tools replacement.
