Full Release Notes

## Highlights

- **Chrome extension now supports multiple tabs** ([#373](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright-cli/issues/373) — `tab-new`, `tab-list`, etc. work in `attach --extension` sessions.

- **Multi-screenshot UI Review in the dashboard** — collect, annotate, and submit several screenshots in one dashboard session, with a sidebar of frames and per-comment highlight.

## Fixes

- `fix(mcp): recover from page renderer crash` — the current tab is reopened automatically when its renderer crashes. ([microsoft/playwright#40617](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40617))
- `fix(mcp): auto-recover when remote browser disconnects mid-session` — the next tool call transparently reconnects. ([microsoft/playwright#40652](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40652))
- `fix(mcp): anchor aria-ref regex in target resolution` — locators with `e\d+` substrings are no longer misclassified. ([microsoft/playwright#40610](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40610))
- `fix(mcp): skip base64 image when filename is provided` — explicit-filename screenshots no longer also embed the image in the response. ([microsoft/playwright#40577](https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/pull/40577))
