I’ve had luck with a workflow similar to:

git clone a repo

Open goose with that directory

Instruct it to discover what the repo does

Ask it to make changes to the code, being detailed with my instructions.

I haven't tried computerController, only Goose’s main functionality.

I tell it to discover that itself by asking leading questions: “What does this repo do?” “How do you run its unit tests?” “What does file foo do?”

I'm guessing an "internal tools scaffold" is something like Goose: https://github.com/block/goose

Instead of just generating a patch (copilot style), it generates the patch, applies the patch, runs the code, and then iterates based on the execution output.

Sure thing, I'm happy to help. Our code is at https://github.com/google/password-alert and feel free to email me any questions at [email protected]

However we haven't published a good design document about the client. If you're interested, let me know and I'll try to publish one.

> isTrusted can apparently be spoofed

isTrusted cannot be spoofed in this situation, which is its intended use in Chrome. A Chrome extension in the isolated world is receiving events from the main world and checking isTrusted for those events.

> Yes, we're pushing the notification to a new tab (which can't be blocked or interfered with)

We went through a similar iteration with Password Alert. If you're setting focus on the new tab, an onBlur event could indicate that the current page has lost focus, perhaps due to the warning tab. I think notifying the user is still net-positive for the user's security.

This can be protected against by the extension looking at keyboardEvents and verifying the isTrusted attribute. Here are details about how we do this in Password Alert: https://github.com/google/password-alert/blob/master/SECURIT...

Before Chrome implemented isTrusted, it was a bit more tricky and we had to rely on a variety of attributes that did not have as much of a security guarantee.

> LastPass also detects you enter your master password on an incorrect domain and notifies you immediately of your mistake

Interesting! How does it do this?
