Summary
Adds instance management features to help identify and clean up orphaned Chrome processes:
--label=NAMEflag onrodney start— Tags a Chrome instance with an arbitrary label, persisted instate.json. Useful for AI agents (e.g. Claude Code) to tag instances with their session ID so orphans can be traced back to their owner.rodney list— Scans all known state directories (~/.rodney,./.rodney,RODNEY_HOME,/tmp/rodney-*) and shows each instance's PID, alive/dead status, and label.rodney cleanup— Removes stalestate.jsonfiles for dead Chrome processes.--allalso stops live instances.rodney statusnow shows the label if set.Motivation
When multiple agents spawn headless Chrome instances via rodney, orphaned processes accumulate if sessions end without cleanup. The
--labelflag lets callers tag instances (e.g.rodney start --label="claude-9dc66b24"), androdney list/rodney cleanupmake it easy to find and remove orphans.Example
