Subject: [PATCH] docs(readme): add browser automation to the pitch
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Built-in browser control was missing from both the comparison table and
the feature tour, despite being a real differentiator — Claude Code needs
an external MCP server for browser tools and no other Rust port ships
any. RustyClaw ships 8 CDP tools in the single binary.

- Comparison table: new "Browser automation" row
- Feature tour: new 🌐 block listing the 8 tools (browser_navigate,
  _snapshot, _click, _fill, _screenshot, _get_text, _press_key, _wait)
- Honest scope: model drives one step at a time via tool calls; no
  autonomous "browse for me" mode (that scaffolding was removed in the
  prior commit). No external automation server name-checked.

 Full tool use over Ollama's native format. Other Rust ports have had this broken or partial for months — ours just works. Auto-falls back to prompt-injected JSON on models that don't support native tools.
 
+### 🌐 &nbsp; Built-in browser automation — no extra server
+
+Eight CDP-driven tools — `browser_navigate`, `browser_snapshot`, `browser_click`, `browser_fill`, `browser_screenshot`, `browser_get_text`, `browser_press_key`, `browser_wait` — shipped in the binary and enabled by default. Snapshots return a text tree with stable `@eN` element refs you can pass to click/fill. Works against any Chromium-based browser (Chrome, Chromium, Brave, Edge) you already have installed. No external automation server, no separate install.

 ### 🦀 &nbsp; Single 19 MB static binary
 
 No runtime. No dependencies. No post-install scripts. `scp` it to a server and run. Cross-compiled for `x86_64-linux-gnu`, `aarch64-linux-gnu`, and `x86_64-linux-musl` on every release.
