AI Summary

This release improves the reliability of inline PDF retrieval by utilizing the browser's already loaded resource and enhances session recovery mechanisms. It also updates the OpenClaw plugin and introduces reproducible debugging tooling.

Key Highlights

  • Inline PDFs now use the browser's pre-loaded resource to bypass blocking challenges
  • Enhanced session recovery for create-tab requests and E2E retries
  • Updated OpenClaw plugin to the current SDK contract
  • Added reproducible macOS/UTM tooling for debugging hosted Windows E2E failures

New Features

  • Added reproducible macOS/UTM tooling for investigating hosted Windows E2E failures locally

Full Release Notes

## v1.17.0

A browser tab can clear a site’s challenge, follow its redirect, and render a PDF. Then a second request for that same PDF can still get blocked.

That was the remaining hole in inline-PDF retrieval.

Thanks to [Anand Patel](https://github.com/acpatelmd) for reporting [#9334](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/issues/9334), reproducing this with PubMed Central’s challenge flow, and contributing [#10784](https://github.com/jo-inc/camofox-browser/pull/10784).

### Inline PDFs now use what the browser actually received

`POST /tabs/:tabId/fetch-current-resource` now first uses the matching main-frame PDF response already received by the managed browser tab.

This matters for sites where the tab can render the PDF after a JavaScript or bot-check redirect, but a separate Node-side request gets HTML or a 403.

The route still stays scoped to the current managed tab and its existing download-artifact flow. It does not add arbitrary authenticated fetches.

Known oversized PDFs are rejected from their `Content-Length` before their body is read. The existing 50 MiB limit remains in place.

### More reliable recovery

- A create-tab request now has enough time to rebuild one unhealthy browser session and create its replacement page.
- The E2E client retries the documented recoverable session-restart response instead of treating a browser RSS-safety restart as permanent failure.

### OpenClaw and Windows maintenance

- Updated the OpenClaw plugin to the current Plugin SDK contract.
- The package now uses the declared Camoufox downloader directly.
- Added reproducible macOS/UTM tooling for investigating hosted Windows E2E failures locally. Generated VM media and disks are not part of the repo.
