MyCoder uses Playwright for browser automation, which is used by the `sessionStart` and `sessionMessage` tools. By default, Playwright requires browsers to be installed separately via `npx playwright install`.

MyCoder now includes a system browser detection feature that allows it to use your existing installed browsers instead of requiring separate Playwright browser installations. This is particularly useful when MyCoder is installed globally.

The system browser detection:

1. Automatically detects installed browsers on Windows, macOS, and Linux

2. Supports Chrome, Edge, Firefox, and other browsers

3. Maintains headless mode and clean session capabilities

4. Falls back to Playwright's bundled browsers if no system browser is found

You can configure the browser detection in your `mycoder.config.js`:

export default {

// Other configuration...

// System browser detection settings

browser: {

// Whether to use system browsers or Playwright's bundled browsers

useSystemBrowsers: true,

// Preferred browser type (chromium, firefox, webkit)

preferredType: 'chromium',

// Custom browser executable path (overrides automatic detection)

// executablePath: null, // e.g., '/path/to/chrome'

},
