Links requesting a new window were silently blocked. Open them in managed browser tabs with the existing session restrictions, clean up script-closed tabs, and follow click-created tabs in subsequent direct and MCP browser tools.
Validation: 232 targeted tests and Windows Electron E2E passed; typecheck and lint passed. The full suite retains six failures outside the popup path.
Release note: Browser links that open a new page now open in a managed tab, and AI browser actions follow the new page after a click.
