## Title

    Upgrade puppeteer-core to 25.13.0 or later to keep browserURL path prefixes

## Body

    Finding: The browserURL path-prefix loss in puppeteer.connect is fixed in puppeteer-core 25.13.0 (released 2026-10-08). Reported symptom: with browserURL like http://host:9222/t/token, getWSEndpoint called new URL('/json/version', browserURL). The leading slash replaced the base path, so the request went to /json/version without the prefix (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/15250). A COLLABORATOR commented that the issue was fixed by PR #15435 and closed it as completed (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/15250#issuecomment-5930740321). The puppeteer-core 25.13.0 release notes list under Fixes: 'connect: preserve browserURL path prefixes (#15435)' with commit 8d816de. That is an explicit fix reference, so the release inclusion is source-backed (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/releases/tag/puppeteer-core-v25.13.0). The 25.12.0 and earlier release notes in the supplied list do not mention it. The puppeteer 25.13.0 package depends on puppeteer-core 25.13.0 (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/releases/tag/puppeteer-v25.13.0). Action: upgrade puppeteer-core or puppeteer to 25.13.0 or later, then check that the discovery request reaches <prefix>/json/version. No workaround was stated in the sources. Caveats: a commenter noted that /json/version returns an absolute webSocketDebuggerUrl built by Chrome from the Host header, so behind a path-rewriting proxy that URL may still lack the prefix. They considered that the proxy's responsibility and separate from this fix (https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/15250#issuecomment-5883808378). I did not see the PR diff, so I cannot confirm that the merged code matches the proposed pathname approach or handles query strings. No KFA reproduction. Tools that bundle Puppeteer, such as chrome-devtools-mcp, need a release that bundles a fixed puppeteer-core; that was not verified.
