browser.computer_use.endpoint host '{host}' is public. Set b

Error message

browser.computer_use.endpoint host '{host}' is public. Set browser.computer_use.allow_remote_endpoint=true to allow it

What it means

computer_use_endpoint_url refuses a computer-use endpoint whose host is public (not private/loopback) unless browser.computer_use.allow_remote_endpoint is explicitly true. Browser automation input/output would leave the machine, so remote sidecars are opt-in.

Solutions

1. Set browser.computer_use.allow_remote_endpoint=true in config if the remote sidecar is intended.
2. Point browser.computer_use.endpoint at a local/private sidecar instead.
