control-openhands: agents using Agent Canvas like a user

The CLI behind the verify-openhands skill (OpenHands PR #17961): isolated stacks, a browser that persists across commands, verbs for what screenshots miss, and an evidence ledger. Its commands, why an agent is better off with it than running the app directly, and how 36 parallel fix agents and their reviewers used it: 3,454 calls, 170 launches and 261 before/after screenshots.

Canvas Extensions: the architecture and the hard truth

How an Agent Server installs UI bundles and Canvas loads them as same-realm JavaScript: manifest, adapter, registry, lifecycle, and staged-update patterns—plus the security boundary that does not exist, the contracts already drifting, and the work required before this is honestly a platform.

Agent Canvas whole-codebase audit: ten seams worth fixing
