Description
Sometimes the agent needs to use the browser to test its work or fix bugs. If that session is active, the browser automatically opens in the workbench. This can be distracting, especially if the user doesn't need to monitor the agent's live browsing.
**Proposed Solution:**
Instead of opening the browser automatically, we could keep it hidden by default and display a prominent status indicator showing that the agent is currently using the browser, alongside a button to open the live view.
Additionally, we could add a toggle or parameter to the browser tool. If a user explicitly requests it (e.g., "Show me the browser"), the agent would then have permission to force-open the browser view in the workbench.
