 # Changelog
 
+## Unreleased
+
+### ⚠ BREAKING CHANGES
+
+* **browser session model** — replace the browser-facing `--workspace` model with explicit `--session <name>` on `opencli browser *`. Browser commands now require a session name, `browser bind`/`unbind` use `--session`, and bind no longer accepts `--domain`, `--path-prefix`, or `--allow-navigate-bound`. Browser primitives keep their session tab by design; the browser namespace no longer exposes `--keep-tab`. Adapter `--keep-tab` and `browserSession.reuse: 'site'` are unchanged.
+
+### Internal
+
+* **extension 1.0.11** — switch Browser Bridge lease routing from user-facing workspaces to explicit browser sessions.
+
 ## [1.7.16](https://github.com/jackwener/opencli/compare/v1.7.15...v1.7.16) (2026-05-11)
 
 Extension bumped to 1.0.10 (rename adapter-owned tab group `OpenCLI Automation` → `OpenCLI Adapter`). Performance and stability sweep across browser-backed adapters; new external CLI integrations (tg-cli, discord-cli, wx-cli).

 ## Core Concepts
 
 ### `browser`: AI Agent browser control
 
 `opencli browser` commands are the low-level primitives that AI Agents use to operate websites. You don't run these manually — instead, install the `opencli-adapter-author` skill into your AI agent, describe what you want in natural language, and the agent handles the browser operations.
 
-For example, tell your agent: *"Help me check my Xiaohongshu notifications"* — the agent will use `opencli browser open`, `state`, `click`, etc. under the hood.

 For long-lived personal commands that should live in your own Git repo, use a local plugin instead; see [Extending OpenCLI](./docs/guide/extending-opencli.md). Quick private adapters can still live at `~/.opencli/clis/<site>/<name>.js`. Site knowledge (endpoints, field maps, fixtures) accumulates in `~/.opencli/sites/<site>/` so the next adapter for the same site starts from context instead of zero.

 `opencli browser` 命令是 AI Agent 操作网站的底层原语。你不需要手动运行这些命令——把 `opencli-adapter-author` skill 安装到你的 AI Agent 中，用自然语言描述你想做的事，Agent 会自动处理浏览器操作。
