## Description

<strong>One capture. Everything a developer — or an AI coding agent — needs to fix the bug.</strong>

TraceBug records what actually happened in your browser: a DOM replay, console errors, network requests, screenshots, and your repro steps — and bundles it into a single self-contained .html file that lives on YOUR machine. No account. No upload. No telemetry.

<strong>How it works</strong>
1. Click the TraceBug icon → <strong>Capture Bug</strong> (or press Ctrl+Shift+B)
2. Trigger the bug — TraceBug captures the evidence
3. Review the ticket → <strong>Export replay (.html)</strong>
4. Hand the file to a developer, attach it to an issue — or let an AI agent read it directly via TraceBug's local MCP server (<code>npx tracebug mcp</code>) and fix the bug

<strong>What makes it different</strong>
- <strong>Local-first</strong> — nothing ever leaves your machine. The report is a file you control.
- <strong>AI-native</strong> — every report is machine-readable by Claude Code, Cursor, and any MCP-capable agent; TraceBug even generates a <em>failing Playwright test</em> that goes green when the bug is fixed.
- <strong>Complete evidence</strong> — screen recording (with mic narration), interactive DOM replay, console, network, environment, annotated screenshots.
- <strong>One-click hand-off</strong> — GitHub issue, Jira, Linear, Slack, PDF, HAR, zip.

<strong>Firefox notes (honest ones)</strong>
- Screen recording asks for one extra click ("Share screen") — Firefox requires the gesture.
- Firefox can't capture tab audio; turn on the microphone toggle to narrate instead.
- Site access is a one-time prompt on first capture.
