What

When Claude Code looks for a Chrome browser to render artifact previews, it now checks the BUN_CHROME_PATH environment variable first. If that isn't set, it builds a list of candidates combining Playwright's bundled Chrome with another discovery source, rather than resolving to a single Chrome path immediately. The preview tool's safety check, which refuses to launch a Chrome binary sitting somewhere the current session could have planted or altered, now runs over this whole list of candidates and reports every candidate it refused in its error message.

Why

This gives preview more places to find a usable Chrome binary, and makes it clearer, when none pass the safety check, exactly which candidates were tried and rejected.
