Stagehand's browse CLI warns on silent .env auto-loading and adds BROWSE_LOAD_DOTENV ahead of turning it off
Released 2026-08-03, [redacted] now warns when the browser-agent CLI auto-loads variables from a local `.env` file and adds `BROWSE_LOAD_DOTENV` to opt out, flagging that this will default to off in a future release. Implicitly pulling a project's `.env` into a browsing agent's environment is a quiet credential-exposure path, so the deprecation is the substantive part rather than the warning itself. The release also replaces raw daemon socket connection errors with a message containing the exact `browse open` command needed to start a session.
