Fixes: "Host access is restricted by policy" in Perplexity Comet

Let Claude Code, Codex & ChatGPT Click, Screenshot & Automate Any Browser

Perplexity Comet blocks third-party AI extensions from attaching chrome.debugger due to hardcoded policy restrictions, and Arc/Brave miss Native Messaging bridges. Unlocker for AI Agents in Comet unlocks them all in one click—and survives browser updates automatically.

❌ Without Unlocker for AI Agents in Comet

Comet injects runtime_blocked_hosts into Chromium's default policy, tripping ExtensionDebuggerStrictPolicyRestrictions on every website:

Error: Host access is restricted by policy.
at chrome.debugger.attach (debugger_api.cc)
✗ Clicks, Screenshots & JS Evaluation blocked
✗ NativeMessagingHosts missing in Comet & Arc

✅ With Unlocker for AI Agents in Comet

Native macOS companion + toolbar extension neutralizes strict debugger policy checks and links all AI bridges automatically:

✓ Comet Debugger Attach: UNLOCKED (All Sites)
✓ Claude Code (/chrome) + Claude Extension: LINKED
✓ OpenAI Codex / ChatGPT Bridge: LINKED
✓ Auto-Heal LaunchAgent: Survives App Updates
