I twitch my nose as files take flight,
Sent to downloads, named just right.
A busy tab may show “in progress,”
Then later share the saved address.
Edge’s hub stays out of view,
My browser hops along anew.
I nibble crumbs and watch them through.

collection, or otherwise keep later downloads retrievable by the originating
action.
- Around line 443-446: Update download-task lifecycle management around

Thanks @User-Michal-123, this is a solid start: saving through Playwright's download event, a safe filename, and an offline test with a local page are exactly right. A few things before it can merge:
- CLA: the check is still red because both commits were made by the GitHub account Middray (Michal Ondrej), not User-Michal-123, and the CLA bot checks whoever made the commits. Either post the CLA sentence from the Middray account too, or redo the commits under this account (
git commit --amend --reset-author/ an interactive rebase, then force-push). - Please remove
ISSUE-87-FIX.mdfrom the repo root; notes like that belong in the PR description. - Downloads that start a little late (CodeRabbit's Major): a click that redirects first and downloads after more than 0.3 s isn't reported, and a finished download from an earlier action is dropped without ever being reported. Please report any download that finished since the last browser result on the next result instead of dropping it, and keep the short wait for downloads that start during the action.
- The other CodeRabbit threads: report downloads from
browser_scrolltoo, and remove finished download tasks once they've been reported so the set can't grow forever.
main has moved a lot today (including sentient/browser/service.py), so please merge the latest main before pushing. Happy to help if anything is unclear.

Thank you, it helped a lot with the CLA sign, because I had no clue what is wrong :) I am going to look into it and do my best to implement your suggestions. |

Thanks @User-Michal-123 (and @Middray for signing the CLA, the check is green now). The stray file is gone and the profiles merge looks right. I approved the CI run for this push.
Two new findings from CodeRabbit on this push are real and need fixing before merge:
- A stuck download freezes the browser action.
_include_downloadswaits onasyncio.gather(*tasks)with no limit, anddownload.save_asonly returns when the file has finished. If a server starts a download and never finishes it, the click or page load never returns (and holds the browser lock). Please keep the short wait for downloads to start, but don't wait for them to finish inside the action: report finished ones in the result, and report the rest as "still downloading" with their name, then on a later browser result once they finish. - One failed download turns a successful click into an error. Use
asyncio.gather(..., return_exceptions=True)(or collect outcomes one by one), report the files that saved, and add a plain note for the ones that failed, instead of raising.
Also:
3. Attached browsers (browser.profiles with kind: attach, #209): accept_downloads is only set for browsers Sentient launches. For an attached browser, either handle downloads on the pages Sentient opens, or say plainly in the result that the file was saved by the user's own browser in its own downloads folder. A test with the existing local attach fixture would be great.
4. The older threads: please reply on (or resolve) the remaining CodeRabbit threads, including the task-set cleanup and the downloads-folder path check.
Tests for 1 and 2 would be: a local page that starts a download and never finishes it (the action still returns, the file is reported later), and a download whose save fails (the click result still comes back, with a note).

Thanks @User-Michal-123 and @Middray, this is a big step forward. A failed download no longer breaks the action, a slow one no longer freezes it, and the old threads are all resolved. I tested it for real on a running engine with a local test site: normal, late, failing and oddly named downloads all land in downloads/ and get reported, and a hostile name like ..\..\evil:stream.txt stays safely inside the Files folder. A few things are left before it can merge:
- One stuck download still holds up the others.
_save_downloadkeeps_download_lockwhilesave_aswaits for the transfer to finish (service.py~828-839). In my test, a 32-byte file that had fully arrived stayed "in progress" for two minutes behind a stuck download. Could you pick the file name under the lock (for example by creating the file), release the lock, and then callsave_as? When the 120 s limit hits, please also calldownload.cancel()so the browser stops downloading too. The docs already promise that. - Attached browsers: please only take downloads from Sentient's own tab. Right now every tab gets the download handler, so a file the user downloads in their own tab while Sentient is attached ends up in Sentient's
downloads/and is shown to the assistant. I reproduced this. It's a privacy issue, and the docs already say "pages Sentient opens", so the code just needs to match: handle downloads on the active Sentient tab and the popups it opens. - Only wait the 0.3 s where a download can start. Snapshot, tabs, extract, screenshot, scroll and close each take about 0.3 s longer now, even with nothing to report. Open, click, type, press, select and back are enough. The others can report finished downloads straight away.
- Opening a file link directly.
browser_open("https://.../file.pdf")returns the error "Download is starting", even though the file is saved. Please catch that inopen()and return a normal result withdownloads. - Edge downloads hub. With Edge, each download opens
edge://downloads-hub/and Sentient switches to it, so the click result shows that page. Please ignore or close that tab. - Small things:
- A
CHANGELOG.mdentry under Unreleased. - Remove the two
printlines intests/browser/test_live_browser.py. - Fix the indentation of the new docs bullet, and put the
browser_openline back to its normal wrapping. The cleanup timer details are internal and can go. - Add the reason to "Couldn't save downloaded file" (for example "the connection was lost").
- A
Two tests would cover the main points: a stuck download plus a normal one in the same session, where the normal one is reported right away; and a download from a tab Sentient didn't open in the attach test, which is not captured. Thanks again, this is close.

Thanks @User-Michal-123 and @Middray, this round fixes everything from the last review. I tested it end to end on a real engine:
- A stuck download no longer holds up the others. It gets cancelled at the time limit, and the empty file is cleaned up.
- Failed downloads come back with a reason.
- Opening a file link directly returns a normal result.
- The Edge downloads tab stays out of the way.
- In an attached browser, only Sentient's own tabs are handled.
- Snapshot and tabs are fast again.
- A chat on Claude Sonnet clicked a download and correctly reported the saved file.
One thing before merge: test_download_is_saved_and_reported and test_open_direct_download_is_reported_as_normal_result are flaky. The action waits only for a download to start, so even a small file is sometimes still in downloads_in_progress when the result comes back. They failed about 1 run in 4 locally, and the second one failed the Windows CI run. Could you let both tests accept "in progress" and then read the file from a later browser_snapshot, as the attach test already does? If you like, you could also wait a short bounded time (1 to 2 s) after a download starts, so small files are reported in the same result. That part is optional.
Separately, and not for this PR: while Sentient is attached, a download the user starts in their own tab ends up in Playwright's temp folder instead of their Downloads folder. That already happens on main, so I opened #281 for it.
Thanks for sticking with this, it's very close.

official Playwright Python async Download.save_as BrowserContext.close download behavior
💡 Result:
In Playwright’s Python async API, `await download.save_as(path)` waits for the download to finish if needed, then copies it to the specified path. ([playwright.dev](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-download?utm_source=openai))
Downloads kept in the browser context’s temporary storage are deleted when you call `await context.close()`. So, **save the file to your own path before closing the context** if you need to keep it. ([playwright.dev](https://playwright.dev/python/docs/api/class-download?utm_source=openai))
```python
async with page.expect_download() as info:
await page.get_by_text("Download file").click()
download = await info.value
await download.save_as(f"/path/to/save/{download.suggested_filename}")
await context.close()

Handle unfinished downloads before closing the browser.
close_tool closes the browser context before _include_downloads collects the tracked download tasks. _save_download can still be awaiting download.save_as(...) when the context closes. Playwright deletes temporary downloads when their context closes, so the save can fail and the result can report a download_error without explaining that shutdown interrupted it.
Before _shutdown, either cancel and report unfinished downloads with a clear shutdown reason, or wait for pending saves for a bounded time. Waiting after _shutdown is not sufficient.
