Browser automation using webctl CLI with automatic proxy authentication handling for Claude.ai's egress-controlled environment.
Claude.ai containers route traffic through an authenticated egress proxy (HTTPPROXY env var with JWT credentials). Chromium doesn't properly handle proxy authentication for HTTPS CONNECT tunnels, causing all HTTPS navigation to fail even though curl works.
A local forwarding proxy (port 18080) intercepts Chromium connections and injects Proxy-Authorization headers before forwarding to the real egress proxy.
