What vessel-browser does

Summarised from the project README; check the repository for the latest details.

Features

• AI-assisted browsing — ask Vessel to help with research, page reading, navigation, form work, and multi-step web tasks
• Human-visible browser UI — pages render like a normal browser so AI activity stays legible instead of disappearing into a hidden run
• Command Bar (`Ctrl+L`) — a secondary operator surface for harness-driven workflows and future runtime commands
• Supervisor Sidebar (`Ctrl+Shift+L`) — live supervision across ten tabs, including a durable Run Inbox, conversation Threads, approvals, checkpoints, changes, and Research
• Skills (Premium) — reusable browser skills in the sidebar Skills tab; import, view, run, or delete skills the built-in agent can use for research, shopping, and site-specific workflows
• Dev Tools Panel (`F12`) — inspect console output, network requests, and MCP/agent activity in a resizable panel at the bottom of the window; export logs by category and date range as JSON
