Write operations (fill/click) fail with "No tab with given id" in Helium, but work in Chromium #196

Description

@bulletic

I tested this on two browsers and the results are: it works in Chromium, it doesn't work in Helium (both Chromium-based, Browser MCP extension v0.1.3 + server @browsermcp/mcp@0.1.3, macOS, accessed via npx opencode-browser).
Repro steps:

  1. Connect the Browser MCP extension to a tab and run navigate
  2. Run snapshot — works fine
  3. Run click or type (fill) on an element from the snapshot — fails
    Actual behavior:
  • In Chromium: all of the above work.
  • In Helium: navigation and snapshotting work, but click and fill/type just return errors:
    Error: No tab with given id 1995387775
    (the id stays the same stale value no matter of which tab is connected)
    Expected behavior:
    The fill and click tools should work in Helium exactly as they do in Chromium, since both are Chromium-based.
