Briefing

Stagehand: Stagehand published version 0.10.0 of its Browse CLI, migrating the runtime to Stagehand V4 and removing the --return-xpath option from coordinate actions.

Why it matters

This release decouples the Browse CLI from the main Stagehand SDKs, allowing independent updates and faster iteration for users who rely on the CLI for browser automation. The migration to Stagehand V4 signals a shift in the underlying architecture, while the removal of --return-xpath suggests a move away from XPath-based coordinate handling, which could affect existing automation scripts.
