📋 Decision Context

Question:

Session 178: First successful Computer Use session on self-hosted Firecracker infrastructure — Chrome opens, navigates to Gmail, logs in, reaches 2FA in 9 steps

Task: Not specified

🎯 Decision Made

Chosen:

Self-hosted Computer Use is operational. Chrome opens maximized to Gmail on first screenshot, credentials auto-fill works, login flow completes to 2FA prompt in 9 steps (vs 23-step timeout before fixes). Four bugs fixed in this session: (1) /dev/shm missing → Chrome SIGABRT, (2) CDP shell escaping → replaced with xdotool nav, (3) timeout too short → 10min/75 iter, (4) key press 500s from SSH timing. Remaining UX gap: 2FA/blocker replies should go through Vitto chat panel (conversational flow) not a separate Computer Use input.

Options Considered:

• No alternatives documented

💭 Reasoning

This is the first time the self-hosted Firecracker VM infrastructure has completed a real-world task end-to-end. The progression: Session 177 fixed boot (3 kernel panics), Session 178 fixed Chrome (/dev/shm), navigation (xdotool), and timeouts. The 2FA blocker is expected — Google requires verification for new device logins. The key architectural insight from the user: Computer Use should integrate with the Vitto chat panel for human-in-the-loop interactions (2FA, CAPTCHAs, clarification) rather than having a separate reply mechanism. This is a Session 179 priority.
