Follow-up to #9221 (Chrome extensions in the browser pane). Adds superset browser extensions so users and agents can manage the extensions in the user's own browser panes from the CLI.
Install and remove always ask the user. They show the same in-app confirm as the Web Store and the puzzle menu. Install lists the warnings of the CRX that was downloaded and signature-checked, not the store page's claims. A "no" returns 403, so an agent can't add or remove an extension on its own.
No way into an extension. There is no command to open, click or read an extension: that would put an agent inside a password manager. /extensions/activate returns 404.
Only the user's extensions. List, pin and remove only see extensions installed from the Web Store into the user's folder. The app's bundled extension is hidden.
IDs are validated (32 chars, a–p), so a path like ../../etc is refused with 400.
Pin and unpin are reversible and need no confirm.
Changes
Desktop bridge: /extensions/{list,install,remove,pin} routes in browser-bridge.ts, backed by extension-host/cli-extensions.ts.
host-service: tRPC procedures and bridge types that forward to the desktop.
CLI: browser extensions command group and parseExtensionId.
Testing
browser-bridge.test.ts: install and remove refused without the user's yes, allowed with it; remove of an extension that isn't installed returns 404; a bad ID returns 400; activate returns 404.
CLI: parseExtensionId tests.
Desktop browser tests and CLI tests pass, the CLI typecheck is clean, and check:plugins passes after rebasing onto main.
Manual, in the dev app before the rebase (filmed for the feat(desktop): Chrome extensions and passkeys in the browser pane #9221 demo): an agent ran install, the confirm appeared and was approved in the UI; it then opened a page in its own pane, which ran no extensions; a declined remove was refused.
Summary by cubic
Adds superset browser extensions so users and agents can manage the Chrome extensions in their browser panes from the CLI: list, install (by Web Store ID or URL), remove, pin, and unpin.
Safety
Install and remove reuse the same in-app confirm as the Web Store and the overflow menu; a "no" returns 403, so an agent can't add or remove an extension on its own.
Install asks with the warnings of the CRX that was downloaded and signature-checked, not the store page's claims.
Nothing opens, clicks, or reads an extension, since that would put an agent inside a password manager; /extensions/activate returns 404.
List, pin, and remove only see extensions installed from the Web Store into the user's folder; the app's bundled extension is hidden.
IDs are validated (32 chars, a-p) so path-like input is refused with 400; a successful install is pinned to the toolbar, and pin/unpin are reversible without a confirm.
Written for commit db53201. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Manage browser extensions through CLI commands: list, install, remove, pin, and unpin.
Install extensions using a Chrome Web Store URL or extension ID. Installs and removals prompt for confirmation.
View each extension’s name, version, and toolbar pin status. New installations are pinned automatically.
…sions
list, install, remove, pin and unpin the Chrome extensions in the user's
own browser panes. Install and remove show the same in-app confirm as
the Web Store and the overflow menu, so an agent running the CLI cannot
add or remove one without the user's yes. Install asks with the warnings
of the CRX that was downloaded and verified. Nothing opens, clicks or
reads an extension: that would put an agent inside a password manager.

Review comments at @apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-bridge.ts:
- Around line 476-479: Update the install exemption in the extensions lookup
guard to compare the router’s matched route rather than raw req.path, so valid
install requests with trailing slashes or case variants bypass the installed-ID
check while other routes retain the existing check.
Review comments at
@apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/extension-host/cli-extensions.ts:
- Around line 52-55: Update install’s existing-extension check to apply the same
isUserExtension filter used by list, setPinned, and remove. Treat bundled or
otherwise non-user extensions as absent and reject their IDs rather than
returning already-installed with their metadata.
Review comments at
@apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/extension-host/web-store.ts:
- Around line 218-221: Serialize the full installWebStoreExtension flow through
a per-extension-ID promise chain, and perform the getExtension check inside that
serialized flow so waiting installs reuse the extension loaded by the first
request. Keep downloads and staging cleanup for the same ID from racing with
installation.
- Around line 218-222: Update the install flow around `downloadExtension` so
cleanup runs even when the download call rejects, and removes only that
attempt’s staging directory. Preserve the shared `.staging` root for concurrent
installs; establish the attempt-specific path without relying on a value
returned only after a successful download.
Review comments at
@packages/cli/src/commands/browser/extensions/install/command.ts:
- Around line 20-22: Update the five browser extension commands—install, remove,
pin, unpin, and list—to handle hosts that lack the `browser.extensions`
procedure. Add a shared wrapper in `browser/shared.ts` that maps the
missing-procedure error to an actionable CLI error and rethrows unrelated errors
unchanged, then use it around each command’s query or mutation.
Review comments at
@packages/cli/src/commands/browser/extensions/utils/parseExtensionId/parseExtensionId.test.ts:
- Around line 6-14: Update parseExtensionId to accept URLs only when they use
the Chrome Web Store host, while preserving bare-ID parsing; add a test
asserting that a URL on an unrelated host throws.
Walkthrough
The change adds browser extension listing, installation, removal, and pinning through the desktop bridge, host-service API, and CLI. The desktop extension host handles Web Store installation and user confirmation.
Changes: Browser Extension Management
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Bridge API and routes apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-bridge.ts, apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-bridge.test.ts
The bridge defines extension operations and validates requests. Tests cover consent responses, invalid IDs, and missing extensions.
The extension host lists and manages user extensions. Web Store installation stages downloads and requests approval. The main process passes the provider to the bridge.
Host-service extension API packages/host-service/src/runtime/browser-bridge/*, packages/host-service/src/trpc/router/browser/browser.ts
The host-service router adds protected extension procedures. BrowserBridgeClient adds the matching HTTP calls and response types.

Merge Risk: Low · up to db532
Extension management has bounded edge-case risks: overlapping or failed installs can leave inconsistent files, older hosts produce unhelpful errors, and some inputs behave inconsistently. These warrant fixes or explicit follow-up, but the evidence does not establish a broad security or availability failure.

### Issue 1
packages/host-service/src/runtime/browser-bridge/browser-bridge-client.ts:137-144
With `--host`, installs and removals go through the relay, which times out after 65 seconds. The desktop waits for the download and the user's answer before replying, but keeps running after that deadline. Approving the still-open dialog can therefore install or delete an extension after the CLI reports failure.
Use a request ID and status polling, or otherwise let approval continue across the relay deadline without reporting a failed operation.
### Issue 2
apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-bridge.test.ts:51-62
The fake `UserExtensions` returns install and remove results directly from `userSays`. This checks HTTP responses, but would still pass if the real `userExtensions` stopped asking permission or the new install flow wrote files after a refusal.
Add tests that call the real adapter and `installWebStoreExtension`, with the dialog and download mocked. Check that declining leaves no installed files and never calls `loadExtension`, and that approval shows warnings from the downloaded manifest.
Note: If this suggestion doesn't match your team's coding style, reply to this and let me know. I'll remember it for next time!

**Consent checks lack direct tests**
The fake `UserExtensions` returns install and remove results directly from `userSays`. This checks HTTP responses, but would still pass if the real `userExtensions` stopped asking permission or the new install flow wrote files after a refusal.
Add tests that call the real adapter and `installWebStoreExtension`, with the dialog and download mocked. Check that declining leaves no installed files and never calls `loadExtension`, and that approval shows warnings from the downloaded manifest.

For each issue above, determine whether it is valid and should be fixed. If so, fix it directly.

The installer moves an approved extension into the permanent startup directory before loadExtension…
234-237: ⚠️ Potential issue | 🟡 Minor | 💤 Low value
The installer moves an approved extension into the permanent startup directory before loadExtension succeeds and has no rollback there if loading rejects.
A failed CLI install leaves files that startup may later load or repeatedly fail to load, despite the command reporting failure.
This can occur when: Loading fails after a successful rename, for example because of a transient session or extension-load error.

Update the install flow around `browserSession.extensions.loadExtension` so a
rejected load removes the newly renamed `installPath` before propagating the
error. Preserve the existing successful-load behavior and ensure failed CLI
installs leave no extension files in the permanent startup directory.
The bridge test uses a static UserExtensions stub, so it does not verify that an extension installed through installWebStoreExtension() appears in the production userExtensions.list() result or can then be removed through removeBrowserExtension(). Add one provider-level test that installs an extension, asserts it is listed, and removes it. Do not add separate tests for the existing bridge or helper behavior.

Compare the matched route, not req.path, in the install exemption.
The install exemption compares the raw request path. A valid new ID sent to /extensions/install/ or /Extensions/Install is therefore checked against the installed list and returns 404. The exact-path route works, so only variant spellings fail.

Apply the user-extension check in install.
install checks for an existing extension without isUserExtension. The app's bundled extension loads into BROWSER_PARTITION at startup, so install with its ID returns already-installed plus its name and version. list, setPinned, and remove treat that extension as absent. Apply the same user-extension filter to the existing-extension check, and reject non-user IDs.

Two concurrent installs of one ID share the staging path <id>/<version>_0. The second install can fail on rename. If its download finishes after the first install moves files into place, it can delete the loaded extension's directory at rm(installPath). Serialize installs per ID, and re-check getExtension inside the lock.
Serialization sketch
Wrap the whole body of installWebStoreExtension in a per-ID promise chain. Keep the getExtension check inside the chain, so a waiting request returns the extension the first request loaded.

Remove the staging directory when downloadExtension rejects.
downloadExtension creates <extensionsPath>.staging/<id>/<uuid> and unpacks the CRX into it. If unpacking, reading the manifest, the version check, or the rename fails, that directory is not removed. Nothing else in the repository removes the .staging root, so failed installs accumulate unpacked files. Remove each attempt's staging directory in a finally that covers the download call. Do not delete the shared .staging root, because concurrent installs use it.

Handle a host without browser.extensions in the extension commands.
The five browser extensions commands call the new router with no version check and no error mapping. When --host selects a remote host that runs a build before this PR, the call fails with a raw No procedure found on path error. The sibling CLI commands for panes, sessions, snapshot, and notifications show convert that error into an actionable message. Wrap these calls the same way.
Suggested fix
Add a helper to packages/cli/src/commands/browser/shared.ts, modeled on callPanes in packages/cli/src/commands/panes/shared.ts:
@@ -30,0 +31,15 @@++/** Turns a host without the `browser.extensions` router into an actionable error. */+export async function callBrowserExtensions<T>(call: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {+ try {+ return await call();+ } catch (error) {+ if (+ error instanceof Error &&+ /No procedure found on path "?browser\.extensions\./.test(error.message)+ ) {+ throw new CLIError(+ "This host is too old for `superset browser extensions`",+ "Update the Paradev desktop app on that host",+ );+ }+ throw error;+ }+}
Then wrap each mutation or query in install/command.ts, remove/command.ts, pin/command.ts, unpin/command.ts, and list/command.ts. For install/command.ts:
-import { resolveBrowserTarget } from "../../shared";+import { callBrowserExtensions, resolveBrowserTarget } from "../../shared";
...
- const result = await client.browser.extensions.install.mutate({- extensionId,- });+ const result = await callBrowserExtensions(() =>+ client.browser.extensions.install.mutate({ extensionId }),+ );
As per coding guidelines, packages/host-service/AGENTS.md: "A client that calls a new procedure must handle a host that does not have it, with a guard or a fallback."

Reject non-Web-Store URLs in parseExtensionId, and add a test for them.
The regex matches a 32-character a–p segment in any URL host. A URL such as https://example.com/detail/<id> returns the ID, although the doc comment says the function accepts only an ID or a Web Store URL. The test title says it rejects anything else, but no test covers a non-Web-Store host.
