fix: suppress MCP server stderr from corrupting alternate buffer UI

Pipe stderr from npx chrome-devtools-mcp instead of inheriting it.
The server's banner warnings were leaking into the terminal and
corrupting the Ink-based UI in alternate buffer mode. Piped output
is forwarded to debugLogger so it remains visible with --debug.

+name: pr-address-comments
+description: Use this skill if the user asks you to help them address GitHub PR comments for their current branch of the Gemini CLI. Requires `gh` CLI tool.
+---
+You are helping the user address comments on their Pull Request. These comments may have come from an automated review agent or a team member.
+
+OBJECTIVE: Help the user review and address comments on their PR.
+
+# Comment Review Procedure
+
+1. Run the `scripts/fetch-pr-info.js` script to get PR info and state. MAKE SURE you read the entire output of the command, even if it gets truncated.
+2. Summarize the review status by analyzing the diff, commit log, and comments to see which still need to be addressed. Pay attention to the current user's comments. For resolved threads, summarize as a single line with a ✅. For open threads, provide a reference number e.g. [1] and the comment content.
+3. Present your summary of the feedback and current state and allow the user to guide you as to what to fix/address/skip. DO NOT begin fixing issues automatically.

+### Custom Plan Directory and Policies
+
+By default, planning artifacts are stored in a managed temporary directory
+outside your project: `~/.gemini/tmp/<project>/<session-id>/plans/`.
+
+You can configure a custom directory for plans in your `settings.json`. For
+example, to store plans in a `.gemini/plans` directory within your project:
+
+```json
+{
+  "general": {
+    "plan": {
+      "directory": ".gemini/plans"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+To maintain the safety of Plan Mode, user-configured paths for the plans
+directory are restricted to the project root. This ensures that custom planning
+locations defined within a project's workspace cannot be used to escape and
+overwrite sensitive files elsewhere. Any user-configured directory must reside
+within the project boundary.
+
+Using a custom directory requires updating your [policy engine] configurations
+to allow `write_file` and `replace` in that specific location. For example, to
+allow writing to the `.gemini/plans` directory within your project, create a
+policy file at `~/.gemini/policies/plan-custom-directory.toml`:
+
+```toml
+[[rule]]
+toolName = ["write_file", "replace"]
+decision = "allow"
+priority = 100
+modes = ["plan"]
+# Adjust the pattern to match your custom directory.
+# This example matches any .md file in a .gemini/plans directory within the project.
+argsPattern = "\"file_path\":\"[^\"]+[\\\\/]+\\.gemini[\\\\/]+plans[\\\\/]+[\\w-]+\\.md\""
+```

 Your choice is saved in a central file (`~/.gemini/trustedFolders.json`), so you
 will only be asked once per folder.
 
+## Understanding folder contents: The discovery phase
+
+Before you make a choice, the Gemini CLI performs a **discovery phase** to scan
+the folder for potential configurations. This information is displayed in the
+trust dialog to help you make an informed decision.
+
+The discovery UI lists the following categories of items found in the project:
+
+- **Commands**: Custom `.toml` command definitions that add new functionality.
+- **MCP Servers**: Configured Model Context Protocol servers that the CLI will
+  attempt to connect to.
+- **Hooks**: System or custom hooks that can intercept and modify CLI behavior.
+- **Skills**: Local agent skills that provide specialized capabilities.
+- **Setting overrides**: Any project-specific configurations that override your
+  global user settings.
+
+### Security warnings and errors
+
+The trust dialog also highlights critical information that requires your
+attention:
+
+- **Security Warnings**: The CLI will explicitly flag potentially dangerous
+  settings, such as auto-approving certain tools or disabling the security
+  sandbox.
+- **Discovery Errors**: If the CLI encounters issues while scanning the folder
+  (e.g., a malformed `settings.json` file), these errors will be displayed
+  prominently.
+
+By reviewing these details, you can ensure that you only grant trust to projects
+that you know are safe.

   invoked by the user.
 - **Configuration:** Enabled by default. No specific configuration options.
 
+### Browser Agent (experimental)
+
+- **Name:** `browser_agent`
+- **Purpose:** Automate web browser tasks — navigating websites, filling forms,
+  clicking buttons, and extracting information from web pages — using the
+  accessibility tree.
+- **When to use:** "Go to example.com and fill out the contact form," "Extract
+  the pricing table from this page," "Click the login button and enter my
+  credentials."
+
+> **Note:** This is a preview feature currently under active development.
+
+#### Prerequisites
+
+The browser agent requires:
+
+- **Chrome** version 144 or later (any recent stable release will work).
+- **Node.js** with `npx` available (used to launch the
+  [`chrome-devtools-mcp`](https://www.npmjs.com/package/chrome-devtools-mcp)
+  server).
+
+#### Enabling the browser agent
+
+The browser agent is disabled by default. Enable it in your `settings.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "overrides": {
+      "browser_agent": {
+        "enabled": true
+      }
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+#### Session modes
+
+The `sessionMode` setting controls how Chrome is launched and managed. Set it
+under `agents.browser`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "overrides": {
+      "browser_agent": {
+        "enabled": true
+      }
+    },
+    "browser": {
+      "sessionMode": "persistent"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+The available modes are:
+
+| Mode         | Description                                                                                                                                                                                 |
+| :----------- | :------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `persistent` | **(Default)** Launches Chrome with a persistent profile stored at `~/.gemini/cli-browser-profile/`. Cookies, history, and settings are preserved between sessions.                          |
+| `isolated`   | Launches Chrome with a temporary profile that is deleted after each session. Use this for clean-state automation.                                                                           |
+| `existing`   | Attaches to an already-running Chrome instance. You must enable remote debugging first by navigating to `chrome://inspect/#remote-debugging` in Chrome. No new browser process is launched. |
+
+#### Configuration reference
+
+All browser-specific settings go under `agents.browser` in your `settings.json`.
+
+| Setting       | Type      | Default        | Description                                                                                     |
+| :------------ | :-------- | :------------- | :---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `sessionMode` | `string`  | `"persistent"` | How Chrome is managed: `"persistent"`, `"isolated"`, or `"existing"`.                           |
+| `headless`    | `boolean` | `false`        | Run Chrome in headless mode (no visible window).                                                |
+| `profilePath` | `string`  | —              | Custom path to a browser profile directory.                                                     |
+| `visualModel` | `string`  | —              | Model override for the visual agent (for example, `"gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025"`). |
+
+#### Security
+
+The browser agent enforces the following security restrictions:
+
+- **Blocked URL patterns:** `file://`, `javascript:`, `data:text/html`,
+  `chrome://extensions`, and `chrome://settings/passwords` are always blocked.
+- **Sensitive action confirmation:** Actions like form filling, file uploads,
+  and form submissions require user confirmation through the standard policy
+  engine.
+
+#### Visual agent
+
+By default, the browser agent interacts with pages through the accessibility
+tree using element `uid` values. For tasks that require visual identification
+(for example, "click the yellow button" or "find the red error message"), you
+can enable the visual agent by setting a `visualModel`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "agents": {
+    "overrides": {
+      "browser_agent": {
+        "enabled": true
+      }
+    },
+    "browser": {
+      "visualModel": "gemini-2.5-computer-use-preview-10-2025"
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+When enabled, the agent gains access to the `analyze_screenshot` tool, which
+captures a screenshot and sends it to the vision model for analysis. The model
+returns coordinates and element descriptions that the browser agent uses with
+the `click_at` tool for precise, coordinate-based interactions.
+
+> **Note:** The visual agent requires API key or Vertex AI authentication. It is
+> not available when using Google Login.
