Could you build this?
Partial While the relay client script is basic, controlling an active user's existing Chrome session seamlessly in the background across native OS and CDP without stealing window focus requires tricky native/Chrome extension engineering.
What it would actually take: Requires a Chrome MV3 extension integrated via native messaging to a macOS background daemon (Node.js/Go) connecting via Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP). The difficult aspect is orchestrating multi-tab isolated contexts in collapsed tab groups while suppressing window activation and handling OS-level permissions.
