What
The browser bridge calls an optional observer before dispatching a tool call and re-validates the connection afterwards.
Details
onBeforeToolCall is optional; errors from it are swallowed with a debug log- after the callback the bridge re-checks the connection and throws if it disconnected or the extension went away in the meantime
Evidence
Chrome extension disconnected mid-call
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
