From f9a072bf0529942d6a25364fb4d335b5bae89ff2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sanket Sudake Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:35:36 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 01/25] fix(daemon): serialise the first attach so Chrome gets one consent prompt MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Ensure checked for a running daemon, found none, and spawned one — with nothing making that path single-file. Several chrome-cdp processes starting at once therefore each found nothing and each spawned a daemon, and every spawned daemon attaches to Chrome, raising its own "Allow remote debugging?" prompt. That prompt is browser-MODAL, so stacked prompts are not a slower version of one prompt: the visible dialog need not be the one holding input, and the browser looks frozen with no button that responds. It happened to a real user's session during this work — several review agents each ran the binary, and their attaches raced. The unlink was the other half. Outside a lock, a late caller's os.Remove(sockPath) can delete a socket a sibling daemon has just bound, orphaning a live daemon that no client can reach. An exclusive flock now covers spawn-and-wait, with a re-check inside it so callers that queued behind the holder find the daemon it started instead of duplicating it. The wait is deliberately unbounded: the holder may be waiting out a prompt the user has not clicked, and blocking behind that is correct — spawning our own would add to the pile. The regression test runs eight concurrent Ensure calls against a fake spawn it can count. Without the lock: 8 daemons, so 8 prompts. With it: 1. The connect timeout message now says the prompt may be hiding behind the window and that Chrome accepts no other input until it is answered, since "did you click Allow" is not much help when the reason you have not is that you cannot see it. The skill says the same.

From 75861a4064ea83d29fbf7de74c51739698be10cd Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sanket Sudake Date: Mon, 27 Jul 2026 17:49:24 +0530 Subject: [PATCH 02/25] docs: RFC-0013, surviving Chrome's consent prompt MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Written from a controlled reproduction of the wedge that froze a real browser during this work, which contradicted the first diagnosis. Stacked prompts are real and #17 fixes them, but a SINGLE unanswered prompt wedges Chrome just as thoroughly, so serialising the spawn is necessary and not sufficient. The mechanism, measured: while consent is pending, TCP connects immediately and the WebSocket upgrade HANGS — it never completes and never refuses. The client therefore has no error to classify, only silence, which is why the failure surfaces as an undifferentiated timeout. Three defects follow: the daemon gives up in ten seconds and abandons the prompt it raised, so a later click grants consent to a connection that no longer exists; ten seconds is not a human timescale for a browser-modal dialog that can sit behind the window; and `doctor` reports "attach ready" from the port file without ever probing, so the one command whose job is to answer "can I connect?" said yes while every connection was hanging. Also recorded because it cost time: /json/version returning 404 is NOT a consent signal — it returns 404 in this connection mode either way, and an early reading of it as pending-consent was wrong. The proposal is to wait for the consent rather than abandon it, classify the pending state distinctly, make doctor probe, and lead the docs with the launch flag that never prompts. The pending state is just a listener that accepts and stalls, so nearly all of it is testable with net.Listen and no browser — which matters, because reproducing this by hand wedged a real browser twice and must not become the regression test.

Wait for the consent + +The daemon's initial connect must outlive the dialog. +Replace the single short dial with a bounded wait — proposal: `consent_timeout`, default **120s** — during which the daemon stays alive and keeps the pending upgrade open. + +Distinguishing the pending state from a dead endpoint is what makes a long wait safe. +A refused TCP connection is a real failure and must stay fast; a hanging *upgrade* against an *open* port is the consent signature and is the only case that earns the long wait. + +### 2. Report the pending state + +Add `CodeConsentPending = "consent_pending"` mapped to the existing connection exit code, so a caller can branch on it without a new number. + +While waiting, the CLI says a consent prompt is pending, that it is browser-modal and may be behind the window, and that Chrome will accept no other input until it is answered. +That last clause is the part a user cannot deduce, and is why a frozen browser reads as a crash. + +### 3. Make `doctor` probe + +`doctor` must attempt the upgrade rather than trusting the port file, and report one of: no endpoint, consent pending, or ready. +A diagnostic that reports readiness without testing it is worse than no diagnostic, because it sends the user looking somewhere else. + +Probing is itself a connection request, so `doctor` must reuse a live daemon when one exists rather than raising a prompt of its own. + +### 4. Prefer the path that never prompts + +When no usable endpoint exists, recommend relaunching Chrome with `--remote-debugging-port=9222` **first**, and the `chrome://inspect` toggle second with a note that it prompts on every fresh attach. +The toggle is currently presented as the primary route, which routes every new user through the failure this RFC exists to remove. + +## Verification scenarios + +**VS-1 — A hanging upgrade is classified as consent pending, not as a timeout.** +Given a listener that accepts TCP and never completes the WebSocket upgrade, when the daemon connects, then it reports `consent_pending` and stays alive rather than exiting. + +**VS-2 — A refused endpoint still fails fast.** +Given a closed port, when the daemon connects, then it fails within a second or two with `connection_failed`, not after the consent timeout. + +**VS-3 — Consent answered late still works.** +Given a listener that completes the upgrade after 30 seconds, when the daemon connects, then the connection succeeds and no prompt is orphaned. + +**VS-4 — The consent wait is bounded.** +Given a listener that never completes the upgrade, when `consent_timeout` elapses, then the daemon exits with a message naming the prompt and the recovery. + +**VS-5 — `doctor` distinguishes all three states.** +Table over: no endpoint, open-but-hanging, and ready — each reported distinctly, and the ready case verified by a completed upgrade rather than by the port file alone. + +**VS-6 — `doctor` does not raise its own prompt.** +Given a running daemon, when `doctor` runs, then it answers through the daemon and initiates no new connection. + +**VS-7 — Concurrency stays at one prompt.** +The guard from #17, restated here so this RFC's changes cannot regress it. + +## Test plan + +The pending state is a **local listener that accepts and stalls**, so almost all of this is testable with `net.Listen` and no browser at all — which matters, because the manual reproduction wedged a real browser twice and must not be the regression test. + +- **Pure/stub (`-short`):** VS-1 through VS-5 against hand-built listeners — refusing, stalling, and completing-after-a-delay. + This is where the classification logic belongs. +- **Daemon:** VS-6 and VS-7 against the existing socket harness. +- **Live Chrome:** none. + Consent cannot be granted programmatically, and a test that needs a human click is not a test. + +Note for anyone extending this: a long `t.TempDir()` path breaks a Unix socket bind on darwin — `sun_path` caps near 104 bytes and the directory embeds the test name, which fails with a bare `bind: invalid argument`. + +## Out of scope + +- Granting or suppressing consent programmatically. + It is a deliberate user decision and the tool should not try to route around it. +- Anything about Chrome's own modal behaviour, which is not ours to change. +- Windows: the project ships linux and darwin only. + +## Open questions + +1. Should the CLI **refuse to raise a prompt at all** unless the user opts in — erroring with "relaunch with `--remote-debugging-port`" instead? + Safest, but it removes the zero-config path that makes the tool pleasant on first use. + **Recommendation:** keep the prompt, fix the waiting, and lead with the flag in the docs. +2. Is 120s the right consent timeout? + Long enough for a hidden dialog, short enough that a genuinely dead endpoint is not mistaken for a slow human. + **Recommendation:** 120s, as a config key so it can be argued with. +3.

There is no error to classify, only silence — so a boolean "reachable" puts that silence in the same bucket as a refused port, and the tool cannot tell "nothing is listening" (fast, real failure) from "waiting for a human" (not a failure at all). This adds the observation the distinction needs: one upgrade, classified as refused / pending / ready, with a dial timeout, a threshold past which silence counts as the consent signature, and a total budget the same socket is held open across. Holding it matters — an answer that arrives after we hung up is an orphaned prompt, which is how clicking Allow came to grant consent to a connection that no longer existed. Nothing uses it yet. Note the deliberate absence of any /json/version check: that endpoint returns 404 on the chrome://inspect path whether or not consent has been granted, so detection built on it would be wrong.

Clicking Allow then granted consent to a connection that no longer existed, and because the prompt is browser-modal the whole browser stayed frozen. Ten seconds is not a human timescale for a dialog that can sit behind the window. So the ladder now decides on the three-way probe state, and an open port with a hanging upgrade is its own rung: consent_pending, distinct from "enable the toggle". The daemon holds that upgrade open for consent_timeout (default 120s, flag > env > file), publishes a marker beside its socket the moment it starts waiting — it is detached, so a file is the only channel it has — and Ensure moves its own deadline when it sees one. A refused endpoint is untouched by all of this and still fails in milliseconds, which is the property that makes a two-minute wait safe to have. consent_pending is a new error.code on the EXISTING exit 3: callers branch on the code, and the number is contract. doctor now probes. It used to read DevToolsActivePort and report "Path B attach ready" without ever connecting, and during the reproduction it said ready while every connection was hanging — a diagnostic that reports readiness it never verified sends the user looking anywhere but the dialog. It prefers a running daemon (already holding a verified connection, and asking it raises no prompt), falls back to one upgrade after saying it is about to, and takes --no-probe for a user who wants a diagnosis and not a connection. Every failure message now leads with --remote-debugging-port, which never prompts, and offers chrome://inspect second with a note that it prompts on every fresh attach. Recommending the toggle first walked each new user straight into this. Tests are stub listeners that accept and stall — the manual reproduction wedged a real browser twice and must not be the regression test.

Also documents what the prompt actually does (modal to the whole browser, can hide behind the window, blocks all other input), the consent_pending code on exit 3, --consent-timeout and the consent_timeout config key, and doctor's three states plus the fact that it answers through a running daemon rather than opening a connection of its own.

The fix removed the unverified claim at the port-file level and reintroduced it one level up: the daemon path emitted state:ready on `running: true` alone, and `running` came from dialling the Unix socket and closing it. Three claims stacked — TryConnect's, a swallowed StatusInfo error, and a __status that hardcoded "connected": true — so the trigger is ordinary. Start a daemon, quit Chrome: the chromedp connection is dead, Serve holds the listener for another 30 minutes, and doctor answers ok:true / ready / exit 0 while every subsequent command fails. VS-5 asks for the ready case to be established by a completed round trip, not by a file or a socket. __status now reports `connected` as the answer to the List it already made, Status propagates StatusInfo's error instead of discarding it, and doctor requires that positive evidence before claiming ready. The same payload was also a privacy leak. doctor blanket-copied the daemon's status map, which carried []target.Info — every open tab's title and full URL. SKILL.md makes `doctor --json` step 1 of every agent session, so each session pulled OAuth callbacks, reset tokens and internal hostnames into the transcript before a tab had even been selected. The status payload now carries a target_count, and doctor copies an allowlist rather than the map.

It read with an unbounded bufio.Reader.ReadString('\n') and set no read deadline, so the only ceiling on either was the caller's total wait — 120s in the daemon. Anything on the machine that can bind the loopback debug port can therefore answer with a stream that never contains a newline. Measured against a local listener doing exactly that: 18 GB of heap in six seconds, ~3 GB/s, and the daemon's full budget would reach hundreds of gigabytes. An 8 KiB LimitReader ends that stream at the limit, where the missing newline becomes an ordinary refusal. The read deadline is the same bound expressed in time, so the goroutine cannot outlive the wait even if nobody closes the socket — but reaching it is reported as SILENCE rather than as a failed handshake, because classifying a deadline as "refused" would turn a Chrome still holding its consent prompt into a dead endpoint.

The result: `chrome-cdp --port 9222 ` against a toggle-path Chrome holding an unanswered prompt classified the endpoint as refused, fell to InstructToggle, and told the user "Chrome is running but not debug-enabled" — about a Chrome that is debug-enabled and is showing them the consent dialog at that moment.

So with consent_timeout = "0s" (or a negative value) the daemon waited the full 120s while its client gave up at 10s and printed "still waiting ... after 0s" — which is the orphaned-prompt failure this parameter exists to prevent, restored through its zero value. Normalisation now happens where flag, environment and config file actually resolve: config.ResolveFrom/FromEnv for the file and the environment (including the daemon subprocess's own resolution), and App.connOpts for the flag, which is the one path config resolution never sees. Both call the same chrome.ClampConsentTimeout, so no two layers can drift. The range is clamped as well as the zero. Below one second the wait is not a wait; above ten minutes it stops being a timeout, because the daemon spawn lock is held for its duration and an inherited CHROME_CDP_CONSENT_TIMEOUT=8760h would have blocked every other invocation for a year.

A daemon that published its .pending marker and then died left Ensure with no exit but the deadline: ~130s of waiting for a process that no longer existed. spawnDaemon called Process.Release() and discarded the handle, so no liveness check was possible. It now keeps a handle and reaps the child in the background, which is both the reaping and the signal — kill(pid, 0) would not have worked, because a dead child is a zombie until it is waited for, and a zombie answers a liveness signal perfectly well. Child gone with no .err is an immediate daemon_error. lockSpawn blocked in complete silence. A second command run during a pending prompt hung for over two minutes with no output — the same "my tool has frozen and I do not know why" that US-2 exists to end, reached through the fix for US-2. It now tries the lock non-blocking first purely so contention can be named, then blocks as before. RunDaemon reported nothing for anything that failed AFTER the connect. The daemon is detached, so its stderr is never read: a failed net.Listen exited silently, and Ensure — seeing the pending marker and no .err — reported the consent prompt for a bind failure. The RFC's own darwin sun_path note makes that reachable. Bind failures now write the .err sidecar with a daemon_error.

US-5 — "at most one consent request" — did not. Behind the spawn lock each queued caller in turn cleared the previous verdict, spawned its own daemon and raised its own prompt at a browser that was already holding one. Eight concurrent commands against an unanswered dialog came to about seventeen minutes and eight sequential prompts: one at a time, which is not the same as one. A consent_pending verdict written by the previous holder is now inherited rather than re-derived, for five seconds. Queued callers are released within milliseconds of it being written, so that is long enough to drain a queue and short enough that a user who has just found the dialog and clicked Allow is not told to go looking for it again. Ensure also takes a context. It had none, and chrome.Connect discards its own by design, so --timeout stopped applying the moment a command needed a connection: a caller queued behind a holder sitting on an unanswered prompt inherited that wait with no way to say otherwise. The flock wait now runs on its own goroutine and hands the lock back if the caller has given up, rather than being abandoned holding it.

One loop with two independent timers is the same behaviour in a third of the lines — except for the case the branch had and the loop does not. When PendingAfter >= Total the remainder came out <= 0 and the function returned WSPending having never looked at the answer channel again. That is every doctor probe, because ProbeWS passes the same value for both; and onPending runs in between, which is not instantaneous — the daemon's writes a file. Anything the endpoint delivered during it was discarded unread and its socket closed, so a completed handshake was reported as a pending consent prompt. The loop consults the channel once more before giving up, and the read deadline now sits just past the budget rather than exactly on it, so an answer landing as the wait ends is still readable rather than being cut off by the backstop meant to protect against a runaway goroutine. The three positional durations become UpgradeTimings{PendingAfter, Total}: they were easy to swap and the consequences are not symmetric. dialTimeout leaves the signature entirely — two packages had independently declared the same two seconds for the same loopback dial, and no caller has information that would make a different value right.

That claim was true of a DevToolsActivePort parser and a decision table. It did not survive the probe: a TCP dialer, an HTTP client, a hand-rolled RFC 6455 handshake, a reader goroutine, and a live net.Conn handed across the package boundary for internal/chrome to close. The socket work moves to internal/chrome/probe.go, next to the connection it exists to serve and to the code that owns that net.Conn's lifetime. What stays behind is what the doc actually describes: WSState (the vocabulary a probe answers in), Probe, Action, DecideConnection, the endpoint resolution, and the two advice constants. Both package docs now say what their package is. The tests move unchanged — they are net.Listen-based and need no browser in either package. `settle` had to be renamed on the way in, which is its own small argument for the move: internal/chrome already had a settle(), and every "settle" in this package means "wait until it stops moving" while the probe's meant "close it or keep it". It is now `upgraded`.

Two of them already disagreed — WSState.String() returned "refused" where doctor's envelope said "no_endpoint" — and the only thing keeping that from shipping as two names for one state was that WSState.String() had no callers at all. That is not a design, it is a coincidence. WSState.String() is now the wire value, doctor derives its `state` field from the probe's answer in one assignment instead of three, and the switch carries only the prose and the exit code that genuinely differ per outcome. "unverified" becomes a named constant and is documented as the one value with no WSState behind it, because it is the absence of a probe rather than the result of one. doctor's --help promised three states while four shipped; it now names all four. Action.String() goes: no caller anywhere, and the branch had grown a case on it that nothing would ever have printed.

Three packages needed the same three listeners and each had grown its own. stallListener existed twice with different signatures; answerListener and lateAnswerListener were the same function; stubEndpoint was a third variant with a port file bolted on — around 170 lines, with separately maintained comments explaining the same thing three times. Only two of the three counted accepted connections, which is the assertion that proves the property the whole RFC turns on: every connection to the debug endpoint is a consent request, so "how many did we open" is the question being asked. internal/probetest gives all three Stall, Answer, Closed, the connection count, the answered-on-a-live-socket flag, and the port file.

Measured: 3.05s against a marker at ~2.0s — a 1.5x margin on exactly the kind of timing this repo has been bitten by four times on macOS CI. The threshold is now chrome.Options.ConsentPendingAfter, alongside the ConsentTimeout and OnConsentPending it belongs with. The test sets 100ms for a 30x margin, and both the mutable package var and the shrinkPendingThreshold helper delete themselves. The probe's own announce test asserted `pendingAt > 400ms` against a 100ms timer: an absolute wall-clock ceiling on a timer plus a goroutine wakeup, on CI boxes that are not idle. The property is an ordering — the announcement lands during the wait, not on the way out — and its sibling in the connect test already expressed it that way with `pendingAt > elapsed/2`. Now both do.

The Sec-WebSocket-Key was generated with crypto/rand and then never checked against Sec-WebSocket-Accept, so "ready" meant nothing more than "the status line said 101" — a listener replying "HTTP/9.9 101 whatever" passed. Chrome's debug port is a loopback port any local process can bind, and being told ready by something that is not a WebSocket server is how the probe hands chromedp a socket that will never speak CDP. The accept key is now computed and compared, and Upgrade: websocket is required. probetest's stubs complete the handshake properly, so they are testing the thing. Endpoint validation. ResolveWSURL returned any webSocketDebuggerUrl verbatim and http.Client follows up to ten redirects, so a request about 127.0.0.1 was verified to come back with ws://10.1.2.3:4444/pwned — the URL the probe dials and chromedp attaches to. Redirects are no longer followed, and the answer is only accepted if it names the endpoint that was asked (scheme ws/wss, no userinfo, same port, same host modulo two spellings of loopback). Also: attach() now gets the RESOLVED ws URL, so chromedp does not repeat the lookup and the comment claiming the probe and the attach agree on what they are talking to is true; Probe.PortFileWS becomes Endpoint, which is what it holds half the time, and DecideConnection drops the guard that restated its own precondition; Upgrade.Close loses the nil-receiver half that cannot fire; the .pending payload says who it is for; spawn_test uses wg.Go; and three comments that narrated the change rather than the result are cut to what stays true. One correction to the review: Action.String() was reported as having no callers and is kept, because %v in the ladder's table test is one — without it a failure reads "= 4, want 2".

Also: consent_timeout's clamp and why "0s" cannot mean "do not wait"; the notices on the --no-daemon and queued-caller paths; and the two verification scenarios the review added — a bounded handshake read, and a 101 that is not a completion of our own handshake.

Reproduced locally at about one run in eight. Chasing it found the viewport is not stable enough to be the reference. It was observed reverting BETWEEN two adjacent recordings — the scale-1 capture saw the pinned 800x600 and the scale-0.5 one saw 600x600 — with both CDP's visual viewport and the page's own innerWidth/innerHeight agreeing on the wrong value, so a cross-check between them does not catch it either. A test that compares one capture against another is therefore measuring window stability, not --scale. So the claim is decomposed instead. Live: Chrome honours the cap it was given, asserted against the max box RecordStart already reports rather than against a second recording. Pure: the cap is round(viewport x scale), now scaleBox with a table test and no browser at all. Together those are VS-8, and neither half is hostage to a viewport that moves. The recorder also now cross-checks CDP's visual viewport against the page's own before sizing. That does not fix this failure, but the two measures were separately observed disagreeing after a resize, and sizing a whole recording from a box that never existed gives every frame the wrong aspect. Verified: 10 consecutive TestRecordLive runs green, where the original failed 1 in 8.

The frame was correct and the assertion was wrong. record.go says so directly, on the field the test was reading: the caps are "not a promise about the frames — a screencast frame is never UPSCALED to fill them, so the real dimensions are whatever the compositor produces WITHIN this box". I asserted equality against a documented upper bound, and it held only while the window happened not to move between the box being computed and the frame being produced. 207x207 inside a 378x207 box is Chrome behaving as specified on a window that resized underneath it. That is Chrome's business, not this feature's. What is ours to guarantee is that the cap is honoured AS a cap and that a scaled recording still produces pixels, so that is what the live test now checks. The arithmetic making the cap half the viewport is TestScaleSizesTheBox, with no browser involved. Better failure messages are what found this: naming the box alongside the frame turned three rounds of guessing at viewport timing into one reading of the contract.
