Summary

  • /docs/browsers/process-execution framed playwright as the mechanism for controlling the page, but Kernel actually exposes four control options (computer use, playwright execution, CDP, WebDriver BiDi) — see /introduction/control.
  • Generalized the intro, the "when to use process execution" guidance, and the port-list warning to point at browser control generically, keeping playwright named only where it's the actual linked product feature ("Playwright Execution").

Test plan

  • Read through the rendered page content for accuracy against /introduction/control.
  • No build step for this repo (Mintlify, no CI to run locally).

Note

Low Risk
Mintlify documentation copy only; no runtime, API, or security behavior changes.

Overview
Updates browsers/process-execution so page driving is described as browser control rather than Playwright-only.

The intro and “when to use process execution” sections now refer to generic page-control calls and steer readers toward all four control paths (Playwright execution, computer use, CDP, WebDriver BiDi), with Playwright kept only where it’s the named product link. The co-located agent pattern still points agents at the local playwright daemon; the port Warning renames that stack piece to the execution API alongside live view and CDP.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 8e9f3d9. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

process-execution.mdx over-indexed on playwright specifically, when
kernel actually exposes four ways to drive a session (computer use,
playwright execution, CDP, WebDriver BiDi). Generalize the framing to
point at /introduction/control and only name playwright where it's
the actual product feature.

…t example

That example specifically points at the local playwright daemon, so name it
directly instead of the generic control-endpoint phrasing.

Risk assessment: Very Low

Decision: Prior approval stands. Not re-issuing approval.

Re-evaluated after synchronize. The new commit (8e9f3d9) changes one sentence in browsers/process-execution.mdx: it restores the phrase local playwright daemon in the fx co-located agent pattern (replacing generic “local control endpoint” wording). The rest of the PR is still the same Mintlify copy/link edits from the previously approved commit.

Why Very Low (unchanged)

  • Documentation-only wording on a single docs page (+5/−5 vs main)
  • No application code, APIs, config, CI, or infrastructure files changed
  • No auth, billing, schema, or operational impact
  • No CODEOWNERS file, so codeowner review is not required

Risk did not increase, so the existing approval is not dismissed.
