browse@0.9.6
Browserbase Stagehand released browse@0.9.6, improving daemon connection error messages and adding an opt-out flag for .env auto-loading.
Why this signal matters
Stagehand release browse@0.9.6 introduces two patch updates: PR 2356 replaces raw daemon socket connection errors with human-readable guidance that provides the exact browse open command required to launch a session. PR 2361 introduces a warning when environment variables are automatically loaded from .env files and adds the BROWSE LOAD DOTENV flag to allow opting out, preparing users for a future release where automatic loading will be disabled by default.
Actionable summary
Stagehand browse@0.9.6 replaces raw daemon socket connection errors with clear instructions including the exact browse open command, and warns when auto-loading .env while introducing BROWSE LOAD DOTENV to opt out ahead of future default behavior changes.
