65
- 1. **In-page inspector**: the bundled `devconsole@nova` extension injects [Eruda](https://github.com/liriliri/eruda) into every page (console, DOM, network). Console output is also forwarded over GeckoView **native messaging** (`sendNativeMessage("browser", ...)`) to the app's message delegates, which log it and feed the native Console panel.
66
- 2. **Remote debugging**: `runtime.settings.setRemoteDebuggingEnabled(true)` is set at startup β€” open `about:debugging` in desktop Firefox and connect over USB/Wi-Fi to attach full DevTools.
67
 
68
- ## Session restore (M1) & history (M2)
 
 
69
 
70
- Open-tab URLs and the active tab are persisted to `files/session_state.json` on every tab change and on `onStop`; cold start reopens them (`TabManager.restoreSession()`). URL-level restore; full engine session-state capture is planned for a later milestone.
71
 
72
- Committed visits are recorded most-recent-first into `files/history.json` (deduplicated, capped at 500) and power the URL bar autocomplete (`TabManager.suggestionsFor()`).
