fix(preview): render website favicons for browser tool activity

[maria-rcks]

Preview browser actions reuse the existing website favicon renderer. URL-bearing results supply page identity; clicks, typing, and other actions read browser status for their original target tab. Snapshot page identity survives provider wrappers and truncated output.

Verified 78 scoped tests, server typecheck, and scoped lint. Both code reviewers approved 75128f2. Fresh screenshot below uses an actual GitHub snapshot response rendered by the updated server and client. Fresh click/type integration remains unverified because the desktop preview host is attached to the installed environment, not the PR environment. Codex, Claude, and OpenCode are covered; ACP providers retain their existing fallback.

Earlier open-row before/after renderer evidence:

Model: GPT-6. Harness: Codex.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Preview automation results can now include website icons for the active page.
  • Website icon metadata is preserved across supported activity and tool result formats.
  • Snapshot results now include the page URL alongside snapshot content.

• Bug Fixes

  • Background status checks for older tabs no longer change the currently selected tab.
  • Preview action results now return their detailed result data instead of an empty response.
  • Tab targeting remains consistent when requests overlap or target older snapshots.

Approvability

Verdict: Not approved

Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This change propagates favicon metadata through preview MCP responses and activity projection, including extra browser status reads and new parsing logic on existing production paths. Its cross-layer runtime impact and automatic user-facing behavior go beyond a contained presentation-only fix.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Preview MCP results now include optional website tool icons. Snapshot responses retain page identity in a leading content block. Activity payload projection preserves valid preview page URLs. Broker status calls can avoid changing the current tab selection.

Changes

Preview metadata flow

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Non-mutating tab status reads apps/server/src/mcp/PreviewAutomationBroker.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/PreviewAutomationBroker.test.ts	The broker reports the routed tab before queueing requests. Status calls can skip current-tab updates. Tests cover implicit and explicit older snapshot targets.
Preview result metadata and schemas apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/tools.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/handlers.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/toolkits/preview/tools.test.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.ts, apps/server/src/mcp/McpHttpServer.test.ts	Preview success schemas and handlers expose optional website icons. Action handlers return result objects. Follow-up status calls provide page URLs. Snapshot responses prepend the bounded page URL.
Activity payload icon projection apps/server/src/orchestration/ActivityPayloadProjection.ts, apps/server/src/orchestration/ActivityPayloadProjection.test.ts	Projection extracts and validates preview page URLs, preserves website icons, and excludes failed, unsupported, malformed, or non-HTTP results.

Some wrapped preview activities can still show the generic icon rather than the target website favicon. This is a bounded presentation regression but should be corrected to preserve the intended provider-wrapper behavior.

Continue traversal after each structuredContent wrapper.

If a result contains { structuredContent: { structuredContent: { url } } }, line 276 leaves page on the outer wrapper. The later rawUrl lookup cannot reach the inner url, so the activity loses its website icon.

Proposed fix

     if (structured) {
       page = structured;
-      break;
+      output = page;
+      continue;
     }
