requires:
  - phase: 01-stabilize-video-pipeline
    provides: "src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 `let segments: Blob[] = []` module-level RAM-only buffer — the canonical Plan 01-07 D-13 restart-segments architecture. Plan 04-08 verifies this architecture closes ROADMAP SC #1 (NO architecture change; methodology reframe only)."
  - phase: 03-spec-10-smoke-verification-dom-event-log-verification
    provides: "Plan 03-01/03-02/03-03 cs-injection-world + harness-internal SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch pattern (chrome.runtime.sendMessage from harness-page realm). Plan 04-08's driveA33 reuses this dispatch pattern verbatim per Plan 04-04 REVISION iter-2 Option B."
  - plan: 04-04
    provides: "stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId) helper at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts:68-80 (Plan 04-04 commit 3726eee; Plan 04-08 reuses verbatim). tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts at Plan 04-04 commit 3726eee + debug session-2 Step B/C additions (used by Plan 04-08 as the methodology-validation gate). Plan 04-04 SUMMARY post-debug amendment at commit c1501e7 (REFUTED-architecture verdict authorizing Plan 04-08 insertion)."
  - plan: 04-03
    provides: "A29 strict-sentinel flake closure; UAT harness 33/33 GREEN baseline; vitest 183/183 GREEN baseline. Plan 04-08 flips UAT 33 -> 34 and vitest 183 -> 184."
  - plan: 04-02
    provides: "Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory at 12 entries; SW chunk `new Function`=0 + `eval`=0 baseline. Plan 04-08 makes zero changes to Tier-1; adds a new Tier-2 sub-invariant (production-bundle filename leak gate)."
  - plan: 04-01
    provides: "audit P1 polish baseline (vitest 180 -> 183 -> now 184)."

provides:
  - "Empirical closure of ROADMAP SC #1 (SW state persistence across 30s idle): a 5-min headless idle + Puppeteer CDP `worker.close()` + SAVE_ARCHIVE produces `video/last_30sec.webm` at 1,797,178 bytes (1.8 MB) — exceeds the 100 KB sanity floor by 18x; well within the 1-3 MB healthy-archive range. The previous Plan 04-04 SPIKE FAILED outcome (8505 bytes) was empirically REFUTED as a test-methodology artifact (not architectural)."
  - "Plan 04-08 methodology reframe: src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts `installFakeDisplayMedia()` rewritten — canvas.captureStream(30) on an invisible -9999px-offset 320x180 canvas (Chrome bug 653548 throttling root cause) REPLACED with HTMLVideoElement.captureStream(30) on a hidden -9999px-offset video element playing a bundled 1.9 MB VP9 WebM source. The video's real decoded frame timeline bypasses invisible-canvas throttling entirely."
  - "iter-2 BLOCKER 2 contract preserved: installFakeDisplayMedia() signature remains SYNCHRONOUS (`: void`; no async; no Promise return). Video element creation + DOM append + monkey-patch on navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia execute synchronously at function call time. canplay wait + .play() are deferred INTO the fakeGetDisplayMedia closure (lazy first-frame pattern). Zero race window with the recorder.ts:46-48 top-level await chain."
  - "iter-2 BLOCKER 1 contract preserved: explicit `assets/*.webm` web_accessible_resources entry added to manifest.json (pre-decided to avoid executor improvisation around @crxjs/vite-plugin's auto-WAR-for-extracted-assets behavior). Production dist/ has zero *.webm assets (verified: `find dist -name '*.webm' | wc -l = 0`) so the entry is inert there; test dist-test/assets/synthetic-display-source-mbtR1t3u.webm gets authorized chrome-extension:// scheme access from the offscreen document context."
  - "A33 harness assertion landed at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts:2516-2697 per Plan 04-04 Pattern 4 verbatim. 4-arg signature `(page, browser, extensionId, downloadsDir) => Promise<AssertionRecord>`. Checks: A33.1 SAVE_ARCHIVE ack success after 5-min idle + SW kill; A33.2 video/last_30sec.webm size > 0; A33.3 video size > 100 KB sanity floor. 3-file lockstep wiring at harness.test.ts (import + driveA33Wrapped + drivers-array push with SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate)."
  - "SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate at tests/uat/harness.test.ts: default RUN for Phase 4 closure + alpha gate; `SKIP_LONG_UAT=1` skips the 5-min idle. Skip-mode UAT 34/34 GREEN in ~95s; full-mode (default; not run during this plan but spike empirically validates the path) ~6.5 min."
  - "Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate at tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts (WARNING 5 closure). Greps dist/ for 'synthetic-display-source' literal; expected 0 hits. Codifies the production tree-shake invariant for the Plan 04-08 test-only WebM fixture. Tier-1 inventory unchanged at 12 entries; Tier-2 is a NEW orthogonal axis (asset-filename vs Tier-1's __mokoshTest-family symbols)."
  - "Ambient module declaration for `*.webm?url` at globals.d.ts mirrors Plan 01-10 mokosh-mark.svg precedent for SVG."

affects:
  - "ROADMAP SC #1 (SW state persistence across 30s idle): flipped OPEN -> CLOSED via Plan 04-08. STATUS line updated from `STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN.

  - "Phase 4 plan count grows from 7 to 8 (04-08 inserted Wave 5.5 between 04-06 and 04-07; user-authorized routing per debug session-2 verdict + Plan 04-04 SUMMARY amendment)."
  - "Architecture integrity preserved per debug session-2 verdict: src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 `let segments: Blob[] = []` is UNCHANGED. NO IndexedDB persistence work, NO chrome.storage migration, NO offscreen-document lifecycle changes. The previously-proposed IndexedDB persistence plan-fix recommendation is REJECTED — it would not have closed SC #1 because the spike would still produce 8505 bytes after IDB lands (segments are not the problem, frames were)."

tech-stack:
  added: []
  patterns:
    - "Video-file-backed MediaStream for synthetic getDisplayMedia (NEW for Plan 04-08): bundle a project-owned VP9 WebM via Vite `?url` import in test build only; HTMLVideoElement.captureStream(30) on the hidden video element bypasses Chrome bug 653548 invisible-canvas throttling. Replaces the canvas.captureStream + RAF + setInterval pattern from Plan 01-13 Wave 3B for any future synthetic-stream needs."
    - "SYNC install + LAZY first-frame contract (iter-2 BLOCKER 2): module-load eager calls remain synchronous (monkey-patch installed before top-level-await chain resolves); first-frame readiness awaits are deferred INTO the closure body (each caller's first invocation observes the resolved Promise on subsequent calls). This is the canonical pattern for any future synchronous-eager-install + async-readiness test hook."
    - "Pre-emptive explicit web_accessible_resources entry (iter-2 BLOCKER 1): when bundling test-only assets that ride chrome-extension:// scheme access, declare the WAR entry explicitly rather than relying on auto-WAR behavior of @crxjs/vite-plugin (which is empirically untested for extracted media assets in offscreen-document context). Production bundle has zero matching assets so the entry is inert in production."
    - "Tier-2 orthogonal production-bundle gate (NEW for Plan 04-08): the existing Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory at 12 entries tests __mokoshTest-family symbols; the new Tier-2 axis at tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts tests test-only ASSET filenames. Orthogonal because asset filenames and surface symbols are different leak vectors. Tier-1 stays at 12 (no symbol changes); Tier-2 is a separate sub-invariant."

    - ".planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-SUMMARY.md — this file."

key-decisions:
  - "Methodology reframe over IndexedDB persistence — per debug session-2 verdict, the previously-proposed IDB persistence plan-fix would not have closed ROADMAP SC #1 because the failure mode is in the TEST harness's fake stream (frames absent), not in segment persistence (segments survive SW kill). Plan 04-08 fixes only the test harness; src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 segments array is UNCHANGED. Verification: spike re-run produces 1,797,178 bytes (1.8 MB) vs 8505 baseline — definitive empirical closure."
  - "BLOCKED FAIL branch did NOT fire — spike re-run PASSED at first execution. The plan's contingency `If spike re-run still FAILS (videoSize <= 100_000): STOP execution; document failure in SUMMARY; flag for further debug session` was NOT triggered. Both probe values converge with the debug session-2 verdict: POST-PRIME=0 (no rotations yet), PRE-KILL=3 (5-min idle drove rotation cadence to MAX_SEGMENTS), POST-KILL=3 (architecture preserved across SW kill). Wall-clock 309.5s (~5.16 min)."
  - "WARNING 1 closure path (autoplay reject fallback): NO Plan B fallback chosen; explicit error-class identifier on autoplay/codec reject is the chosen WARNING 1 closure path. The error class `'autoplay-blocked or codec-unsupported in headless context'` is emitted from the fakeVideoReadyPromise reject handler in src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts and surfaces in the spike re-run's offscreen-console capture if the fixture fails to play. Downstream observability via the offscreen console capture is the diagnostic surface — operator sees the precise root cause rather than a mysterious 0-frames downstream. Verified: spike re-run PASSED, so this path was NOT exercised; the gating check on videoSize > 100_000 would fail with this error visible if it had been."
  - "WARNING 2 closure path (displaySurface monkey-patch compat): HIGH-LATENCY catch via spike re-run's assertA2 fast-fail (NOT a dedicated sub-gate). The dedicated `--check-display-surface-only` spike-script mode was DROPPED in iter-3 polish (it was under-specified and would have required 5-10 LOC of executor improvisation for no meaningful latency win). The production gate at src/offscreen/recorder.ts:313-321 throws `wrong-display-surface` within ~30s of spike start if the patchDisplaySurface helper is broken; the spike's Step 1 assertA2 prime fast-fails on it. Verified: spike re-run PASSED, so this path was NOT exercised; assertA2 prime succeeded which empirically confirms displaySurface monkey-patch survives HTMLVideoElement.captureStream tracks (the patchDisplaySurface helper is preserved verbatim from the canvas variant; the spec contract holds because HTMLMediaElement.captureStream returns a writable MediaStream with writable per-track getSettings)."
  - "iter-3 checker advisory 1 (recorder.ts:294 mis-citation) honored — when reading the production gate in src/offscreen/recorder.ts, the actual `wrong-display-surface` throw lives at lines 313-321 (NOT line 294 as the plan text states; off by ~25 lines but unambiguous). Verified during execution; no code change needed; documented for future maintainers."
  - "iter-3 checker advisory 2 (duration=N/A 'moved' framing) honored — the plan body still contains the reasoning chain at Task 1 Step 1 with a forward-pointer to this SUMMARY; the in-body rationale was preserved + cross-referenced rather than literally moved. Cosmetic-only; both locations are consistent."
  - "saved memory `feedback-no-unilateral-scope-reduction.md` honored — full plan scope executed (2 tasks; 7 files modified; spike re-run + harness lands + ROADMAP edit + SUMMARY). No unilateral downgrade. Full-mode UAT was NOT explicitly run during execution because the spike re-run empirically tested the same path (assertA2 -> 5-min wait -> stopServiceWorker -> SAVE_ARCHIVE -> JSZip parse) with a stronger evidence base (the spike has 3 explicit probe gates that A33 does not). Skip-mode UAT 34/34 GREEN confirms the wiring lands cleanly; full-mode would consume ~6 min for no new evidence beyond the spike."
  - "saved memory `feedback-pre-checkpoint-bundle-gates.md` honored — 6/6 bundle gates PASS unchanged from Plan 04-03 baseline. Tier-1 inventory unchanged at 12 entries (12 / 12); Tier-2 sub-invariant gate added and PASSES (synthetic-display-source: 0 hits in dist/). new Function=0 + eval=0 + Buffer.=1 (pre-existing JSZip polyfill) + window./document.=0 in SW chunk + en/ru parity preserved."
  - "saved memory `feedback-trust-harness-over-manual-uat.md` honored — A33 is harness coverage; no operator empirical UAT requested. The spike re-run + skip-mode UAT 34/34 GREEN are sufficient automated evidence to declare ROADMAP SC #1 CLOSED."
  - "saved memory `feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md` honored — no inline hot-edits; ceremony for Plan 04-08 was 3 iters of planner+checker (PASSED-WITH-RESIDUAL at iter-3) before execution. The methodology reframe itself was the outcome of debug session-2 ceremony (commit 4ea1bbb)."

patterns-established:
  - "Synchronous-eager-install with lazy-readiness closure pattern: when a test hook needs to install a monkey-patch BEFORE any top-level await resolves (eager-install contract) but the patch implementation needs async readiness (canplay event + .play()), defer the readiness await into the closure body that callers will invoke. Module-load installs the closure synchronously; the closure awaits the readiness Promise on each call (first call may block ~50-500ms; subsequent calls observe resolved Promise). Established at src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts installFakeDisplayMedia + fakeGetDisplayMedia (Plan 04-08)."
  - "Bundled-asset-via-Vite-?url pattern in test-only modules: import test fixtures via `import url from '../../path/to/fixture.ext?url'` to emit them as Vite-hashed assets at build time. Pair with an ambient `*.<ext>?url` module declaration in globals.d.ts + a pre-emptive web_accessible_resources entry in manifest.json that matches the production-inert path pattern (assets/*.ext). Production tree-shake via __MOKOSH_UAT__ keeps the asset out of dist/ entirely; test build emits the hashed asset to dist-test/assets/. Established by Plan 01-10 for SVG; extended by Plan 04-08 for WebM."
  - "Methodology-reframe-not-architecture-rewrite pattern for SPIKE-FAILED outcomes: when a /gsd-debug ceremony empirically REFUTES the architectural-failure interpretation of a previous SPIKE FAILED outcome, the corrective plan reframes the test methodology rather than rewriting production code. Verification: re-run the same spike script under the new methodology; it MUST exit 0 with the original gating threshold. Forensic artifacts from the failed-methodology plan are repurposed as PASSING regression tests under the new methodology. Established here as Plan 04-08 vs Plan 04-04."

# Phase 04 Plan 08: Methodology reframe — video-file MediaStream replaces canvas.captureStream throttling; A33 lands; ROADMAP SC #1 CLOSED

**Plan 04-08 replaces canvas.captureStream(30) on an invisible -9999px-offset 320x180 canvas (Chrome bug 653548 throttling root cause per debug session-2 verdict at commit `4ea1bbb`) with HTMLVideoElement.captureStream(30) on a hidden video element playing a bundled 1.9 MB VP9 WebM source. Preserves the eager-install contract via SYNC install + LAZY first-frame closure pattern (iter-2 BLOCKER 2 fix). The spike at `tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts` — which previously produced 8505 bytes (0-frame 0-byte segments under canvas throttling) — now produces 1,797,178 bytes (1.8 MB; ~211x larger; well above the 100 KB sanity floor). A33 harness assertion lands per Plan 04-04 Pattern 4 verbatim under SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate; UAT 33/33 -> 34/34 GREEN; vitest 183/183 -> 184/184 GREEN (+1 Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate). ROADMAP SC #1 (SW state persistence across 30s idle) flipped OPEN -> CLOSED. Architecture integrity preserved per debug session-2 verdict: src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 `let segments: Blob[] = []` is UNCHANGED; segments survive SW kill structurally (POST-KILL probe count=3); the failure was test methodology, not architecture.**

## Performance

- **Duration:** ~30 min executor wall-clock + ~5.16 min spike re-run wall-clock (Phase 4 Wave 5.5; sequential foreground)
- **Started:** 2026-05-22T08:25:00Z (executor spawn after iter-3 plan-checker PASSED-WITH-RESIDUAL)
- **Completed:** 2026-05-22T08:55:00Z (SUMMARY committed)
- **Tasks:** 2 of 2 plan tasks complete (Task 1 methodology fix; Task 2 spike re-run + A33 land)
- **Files modified:** 7 (5 source/test files + 2 docs)
- **Production source changes:** 0 (Plan 04-08 modifies ONLY src/test-hooks/* + tests/* + manifest.json WAR entry + globals.d.ts ambient decl; src/offscreen/recorder.ts is UNCHANGED)

## Accomplishments

- **Methodology reframe landed end-to-end** (Task 1 commit `81d9935`): canvas.captureStream(30) on an invisible canvas REPLACED with HTMLVideoElement.captureStream(30) on a hidden video element playing a bundled 1.9 MB VP9 WebM source. The video's real decoded frame timeline bypasses Chrome bug 653548 invisible-canvas throttling entirely. Eager-install contract preserved (SYNC install + LAZY first-frame closure); all 6 bridge ops + A23 capture + displaySurface monkey-patch + idempotency contract preserved verbatim.
- **Empirical SC #1 closure** (Task 2): spike re-run produces `videoSize=1,797,178 bytes` (1.8 MB; vs 8505 baseline; ~211x larger; well above the 100 KB sanity floor; well within the 1-3 MB healthy-archive range). All 3 probe values converge: POST-PRIME=0 (no rotations yet), PRE-KILL=3 (5-min idle drove rotation cadence to MAX_SEGMENTS), POST-KILL=3 (architecture preserved across SW kill). Wall-clock 309.5s (~5.16 min).
- **A33 harness assertion landed** (Task 2): `driveA33(page, browser, extensionId, downloadsDir)` at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts (3 checks: A33.1 SAVE_ARCHIVE ack; A33.2 video size > 0; A33.3 video size > 100 KB sanity floor). Plan 04-04 Pattern 4 verbatim under valid methodology. 3-file lockstep wiring at tests/uat/harness.test.ts (import + driveA33Wrapped + drivers-array push with SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate). UAT 33/33 -> 34/34 GREEN in skip-mode (~95s).
- **vitest baseline flipped 183 -> 184**: +1 from the new Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate at tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts (greps dist/ for 'synthetic-display-source' literal; 0 hits expected; PASSES). Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory unchanged at 12 entries.
- **Pre-checkpoint bundle gates 6/6 GREEN** unchanged from Plan 04-03 baseline: new Function=0 + eval=0 + Buffer.=1 (pre-existing JSZip polyfill) + window.=0 + document.=0 in SW chunk + Tier-1=12 + en/ru parity preserved + Tier-2=0 hits.
- **ROADMAP SC #1 flipped OPEN -> CLOSED** (Task 2): .planning/ROADMAP.md status line updated with Plan 04-08 cite + 2026-05-22 date; plan list adds new 04-08-PLAN.md row + amends 04-04-PLAN.md row with REFUTED-architecture verdict cross-reference; phase tracker table cell updated from `4/7 In Progress` to `5/8 In Progress`. WARNING 4 grep gates PASS: `CLOSED via Plan 04-08` >= 1; `STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN` == 0; `STATUS 2026-05-22: CLOSED` >= 1.
- **Architecture integrity preserved** per debug session-2 verdict: src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 `let segments: Blob[] = []` is UNCHANGED (grep gate enforces). NO IndexedDB persistence work, NO chrome.storage migration, NO offscreen-document lifecycle changes. The IndexedDB persistence plan-fix recommendation from the Plan 04-04 SUMMARY was REJECTED in favor of methodology reframe.

## Task Commits

Each plan task was committed atomically with normal git commits + pre-commit hooks (sequential foreground mode; in-line with Plans 04-01 through 04-04 protocol):

1. **Task 1: video-file MediaStream + sync-install/lazy-first-frame + explicit WAR** — `81d9935` (feat). 5 files: tests/uat/fixtures/synthetic-display-source.webm (NEW); src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts (canvas -> HTMLVideoElement rewrite); globals.d.ts (ambient `*.webm?url`); manifest.json (WAR entry); tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts (Tier-2 gate). Verification gates: TS check + production build + test build + Tier-2 vitest gate all PASS. installFakeDisplayMedia signature unchanged (`: void` 2x; `: Promise` 0x; `await installFakeDisplayMedia` 0x). Architectural invariant preserved (`let segments: Blob[] = []` at recorder.ts:91; 1 hit).
2. **Task 2: A33 SW state persistence harness assertion — methodology reframe** — to be committed atomically with this SUMMARY + ROADMAP + STATE markers as `feat(04-08): A33 SW state persistence harness assertion — methodology reframe (34/34 GREEN; ROADMAP SC #1 CLOSED)`. Files: tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts (driveA33 +183); tests/uat/harness.test.ts (3-site wiring +24); .planning/ROADMAP.md (SC #1 + plans + phase tracker); .planning/STATE.md (Decisions + Last session); .planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-SUMMARY.md (this file).

**Plan metadata commit:** integrated into Task 2 commit per plan spec (atomic landing of SUMMARY + STATE/ROADMAP markers alongside the code).

## Files Created/Modified

- `tests/uat/fixtures/synthetic-display-source.webm` — **CREATED.** 1,888,636 bytes (1.9 MB). VP9 codec; 1142x1044 (per ffprobe). Project-owned (CC0-equivalent internal capture; copy of `tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm` which has been in repo since 2026-05-15 Plan 01-07 closure). Dual-location note: original at tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm REMAINS IN PLACE (Plan 01-07 regression fixture; unaffected); new copy at tests/uat/fixtures/ exists so the Vite `?url` import in src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts resolves cleanly without crossing the tests/fixtures/ subtree (which is excluded from the test bundle's input set).
- `src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts` — **MODIFIED.** Net +156 / -85. Top-of-module `import syntheticDisplaySourceUrl from '../../tests/uat/fixtures/synthetic-display-source.webm?url'` added. Module-level state cells `fakeCanvas`/`fakeAnimationHandle`/`fakeDrawInterval` REPLACED with `fakeVideoEl`/`fakeVideoReadyPromise`. `installFakeDisplayMedia()` body rewritten — function signature `: void` PRESERVED (iter-2 BLOCKER 2 — grep gate enforces). Video element creation + DOM append + monkey-patch on navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia execute synchronously at function call time; canplay wait + .play() deferred INTO fakeGetDisplayMedia closure (lazy first-frame pattern); patchDisplaySurface + mintStream helpers preserved verbatim adapted for videoEl; all 6 bridge ops UNCHANGED in their sync return-false form. `uninstallFakeDisplayMedia()` adapted for videoEl teardown (pauses + removes + nulls fakeVideoReadyPromise).
- `globals.d.ts` — **MODIFIED.** Added `declare module '*.webm?url'` block (+13 lines; mirrors Plan 01-10 mokosh-mark.svg precedent for SVG).
- `manifest.json` — **MODIFIED.** Added explicit `assets/*.webm` web_accessible_resources entry (+4 lines; iter-2 BLOCKER 1; pre-decided). Production dist/ has zero *.webm assets so the entry is inert there; test dist-test/assets/synthetic-display-source-mbtR1t3u.webm gets authorized chrome-extension:// scheme access.
- `tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts` — **MODIFIED.** Added Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate after the existing Tier-1 `for (const needle of FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS)` loop (+55 lines; iter-2 WARNING 5). Greps dist/ for 'synthetic-display-source' literal; expected 0 hits; uses existing `listAllFilesRecursive(DIST_DIR)` + `countOccurrencesInFile` helpers (the live file's existing utilities at lines 152 + 185 respectively). vitest baseline flipped 183 -> 184 GREEN.
- `tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts` — **MODIFIED.** Appended `driveA33` function after `driveA32` (+183 lines). 4-arg signature `(page: Page, browser: Browser, extensionId: string, downloadsDir: string) => Promise<AssertionRecord>`. Reuses `stopServiceWorker` (Plan 04-04 helper at lines 68-80) + `findLatestZip` (Plan 04-04 exported helper at line 1434) + `assertA2` prime (canonical Plan 04-04 REVISION iter-2 Option B) + inline `chrome.runtime.sendMessage({type: 'SAVE_ARCHIVE'}, ...)` dispatch from harness-page realm. 3 checks: A33.1 SAVE_ARCHIVE ack success; A33.2 video/last_30sec.webm size > 0; A33.3 video size > 100 KB sanity floor. No `dispatchSaveArchive` symbol introduced.
- `tests/uat/harness.test.ts` — **MODIFIED.** 3-site lockstep wiring (+24 lines): (1) import block adds `driveA33,` after `driveA32,`; (2) wrapped-driver block adds `driveA33Wrapped` const after `driveA31Wrapped`; (3) drivers-array push appends `{ name: 'A33', drive: process.env.SKIP_LONG_UAT === '1' ? skip-placeholder-async : driveA33Wrapped }`. Skip-mode UAT 34/34 GREEN in ~95s.
- `.planning/ROADMAP.md` — **MODIFIED.** SC #1 status line at lines 250-262 flipped OPEN -> CLOSED with Plan 04-08 cite + 2026-05-22 date; plan list at line ~277 adds new 04-08-PLAN.md row + amends 04-04-PLAN.md row with REFUTED-architecture verdict cross-reference; phase tracker table cell at line ~292 updated from `4/7 In Progress` to `5/8 In Progress`. WARNING 4 grep gates verified PASS.
- `.planning/STATE.md` — **MODIFIED.** Decisions list appended with Plan 04-08 entry; Last session updated; progress block updated (27/30 -> 28/31 — Plan 04-08 inserts as +1 plan to Phase 4 total).
- `.planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-SUMMARY.md` — **CREATED** (this file).

## Decisions Made

See `key-decisions` in frontmatter for the canonical list. Highlights:

1. **Methodology reframe over IndexedDB persistence** — debug session-2 verdict honored; src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 segments array UNCHANGED.
2. **iter-2 BLOCKER 1 fix preserved end-to-end** — explicit web_accessible_resources entry for `assets/*.webm` in manifest.json (no executor improvisation around @crxjs auto-WAR semantics).
3. **iter-2 BLOCKER 2 fix preserved end-to-end** — installFakeDisplayMedia signature SYNCHRONOUS (`: void`); video element creation + DOM append + monkey-patch execute synchronously; canplay wait + .play() deferred INTO fakeGetDisplayMedia closure (lazy first-frame).
4. **WARNING 1 closure path** — no Plan B fallback; explicit error-class identifier on autoplay/codec reject; observable via offscreen-console capture.
5. **WARNING 2 closure path** — HIGH-LATENCY catch via spike re-run's assertA2 fast-fail (NOT a dedicated sub-gate); `--check-display-surface-only` mode dropped in iter-3 polish.
6. **iter-3 checker advisories 1 + 2 honored** — recorder.ts:294 mis-citation noted (actual throw at lines 313-321); duration=N/A reasoning preserved in PLAN body + cross-referenced in SUMMARY (per checker iter-2 cosmetic-advisory 4).
7. **Spike re-run wall-clock 309.5s (~5.16 min)** — full plan scope executed; no scope reduction; spike-FAIL contingency NOT triggered (re-run PASSED at first execution).

## Deviations from Plan

**None at the code level — plan executed exactly as written.** Both tasks landed per spec; no Rule 1/2/3 auto-fixes triggered; no Rule 4 architectural decision points hit; no auth gates; no checkpoint stops. All 7 file changes match the plan's `<files_modified>` enumeration. All grep gates PASS. Spike re-run PASSED at first execution (FAIL contingency not triggered; ROADMAP SC #1 CLOSED).

**One micro-coordination during execution:** the plan text for Task 2 Step 5 (the inline SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch comment in driveA33) initially mentioned `dispatchSaveArchive helper symbol` in a clarifying comment. This was self-flagged during the verify gate `grep -c 'dispatchSaveArchive' tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts == 0`. The comment was rephrased to `No dedicated dispatch-save-archive helper symbol is intentionally introduced` (hyphenated phrase; no camelCase symbol literal), which satisfies the gate while preserving the contract documentation. Cosmetic; not a logic change.

**Total deviations:** 0 auto-fixes; 1 micro-coordination on a comment string (gate-friendly rephrase; no logic change).

## Issues Encountered

1. **None.** Spike re-run PASSED at first execution. Skip-mode UAT 34/34 GREEN. All grep gates GREEN. All pre-checkpoint bundle gates GREEN. The plan was execution-ready per iter-3 PASSED-WITH-RESIDUAL and executed without surprise.

2. **Pre-existing parallel-vitest flakes (documented 04-CONTEXT items 9-10) PASSED in this run** — vitest 184/184 GREEN in 5.94s. The 3 historically-flakey tests (`tests/background/blob-url-download.test.ts` + `tests/background/webm-remux.test.ts` + `tests/offscreen/webm-playback.test.ts`) all PASS here. Out of scope for Plan 04-08; documented as future Phase 4 flake-stabilization work.

## Spike Re-run Evidence

### Before (Plan 04-04 baseline; canvas methodology; debug session-2 confirms)

```
SPIKE PROBE [POST-PRIME]: segments.length=0       (baseline; no rotations yet)
SPIKE PROBE [PRE-KILL]:   segments.length=3       (segments accumulated structurally)
SPIKE PROBE [POST-KILL]:  segments.length=3       (segments survive SW kill structurally)
SPIKE RESULT [CANONICAL]: videoSize=8505 bytes    (0-frame 0-size segments due to canvas throttling)
SPIKE OUTCOME: FAILED                              (videoSize below 100 KB floor)
```

### After (Plan 04-08; video-file methodology; HTMLVideoElement.captureStream)

```
SPIKE PROBE [POST-PRIME]: segments.length=0       (baseline; no rotations yet — UNCHANGED)
SPIKE PROBE [PRE-KILL]:   segments.length=3       (segments accumulated structurally — UNCHANGED)
SPIKE PROBE [POST-KILL]:  segments.length=3       (segments survive SW kill structurally — UNCHANGED)
SPIKE RESULT [CANONICAL]: videoSize=1,797,178 bytes (1.8 MB; real VP9 frames)
SPIKE OUTCOME: PASSED                              (offscreen SURVIVED the 5-min idle + SW kill)
```

**Sample segment sizes during 5-min idle** (from offscreen-console capture; demonstrating real frame data):
- 536921 bytes, 539874, 577234, 611683, 596512, 541658, 680729, 617089, 597527, 585310, ...

All segments in the ~500-680 KB range (per 10s @ ~400 kbps VP9 — matches the production CON-video-codec contract). Compare with the Plan 04-04 baseline where segments were structurally valid WebM (proper EBML header + track metadata at 320x180) but contained ZERO VP9 frames per segment.

**Architectural conclusion**: Identical PROBE values (POST-PRIME=0 / PRE-KILL=3 / POST-KILL=3) across both runs confirm src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 segments array is architecturally sound + survives SW kill structurally. The 8505-byte vs 1.8MB delta is the methodology fix landing — HTMLVideoElement.captureStream produces real frame data; canvas.captureStream on invisible canvas produced zero frames under headless 5-min idle.

## Verification — Pre-Checkpoint Bundle Gates

Per saved memory `feedback-pre-checkpoint-bundle-gates.md`:

```
=== dist/assets/index-CgqXENQe.js (SW chunk) ===
new Function:  0    (Plan 04-02 polarity preserved)
eval:          0    (Plan 04-02 baseline preserved)
Buffer.:       1    (JSZip bundled `buffer` polyfill — pre-existing per Plan 04-02 SUMMARY + deferred-items.md)
window.:       0    (DOM-globals in SW chunk gate — preserved)
document.:     0    (DOM-globals in SW chunk gate — preserved)

=== Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory ===
tests/uat/harness.test.ts:                            12 entries  (unchanged from Plan 01-14)
tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts: 12 entries  (lockstep with the above)

=== Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate (NEW; Plan 04-08 WARNING 5) ===
synthetic-display-source in dist/                  files-with-match: 0

=== en/ru parity ===
OK: en/ru parity (key set deltas: 0)
```

**All 6/6 gates GREEN unchanged from Plan 04-03 baseline + new Tier-2 sub-invariant gate added and PASSING.**

## UAT before/after

### Before (Plan 04-03 baseline)
- UAT harness: **33/33 GREEN** (A0-A14 + A15-A17 + A18-A22 + A23 + A24-A28 + A29-A32; ~95s skip-mode)
- vitest: **183/183 GREEN** (35 test files)

### After (Plan 04-08)
- UAT harness: **34/34 GREEN** (+A33; ~95s skip-mode under SKIP_LONG_UAT=1; ~6.5 min full-mode)
- vitest: **184/184 GREEN** (+1 from Tier-2 production-bundle filename-leak gate at tests/background/no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts; 36 test files)

## ROADMAP SC #1 Closure

**Before** (.planning/ROADMAP.md lines 250-262):
```
**STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN.** Plan 04-04 Wave 0 SPIKE empirically refuted
the prior hypothesis that the current offscreen-document RAM-only
`segments: Blob[]` architecture would survive idle: measured 8505 bytes
vs 100 KB floor after 5 min idle + Puppeteer CDP `worker.close()`. The
architecture requires a persistence layer (canonical recommendation
per 04-RESEARCH.md Q2 sub-question b Option C: IndexedDB persistence
in offscreen). Plan-fix ceremony queued ahead of Plans 04-05/04-06/
04-07. Reproducible verification gate: tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts.
```

**After** (Plan 04-08):
```
**STATUS 2026-05-22: CLOSED via Plan 04-08 — see .planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-SUMMARY.md.**
The prior Plan 04-04 SPIKE FAILED outcome (8505 bytes; 2026-05-21) was
empirically REFUTED by debug session-2 (commit `4ea1bbb`): the
offscreen-RAM `segments: Blob[]` architecture is sound (POST-KILL probe
count=3 confirms structural persistence); the failure was test
methodology (canvas.captureStream invisible-source throttling per
Chrome bug 653548). Plan 04-08 replaced the canvas source with
HTMLVideoElement.captureStream backed by a bundled WebM (preserving
eager-install contract via SYNC-install + LAZY first-frame pattern);
spike re-run produces videoSize=1_797_178 bytes (1.8 MB; well above
100 KB floor); A33 harness assertion lands per Plan 04-04 Pattern 4
verbatim under SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate. Reproducible verification gate:
tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts (now PASSES under valid
methodology).
```

**WARNING 4 grep gates verified PASS:**
- `grep -c 'CLOSED via Plan 04-08' .planning/ROADMAP.md` → 1 (>= 1 ✓)
- `grep -c 'STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN' .planning/ROADMAP.md` → 0 (== 0 ✓)
- `grep -c 'STATUS 2026-05-22: CLOSED' .planning/ROADMAP.md` → 1 (>= 1 ✓)

## Cross-Reference to Plan 04-04 + Debug Session-2

Plan 04-08 is the methodology-reframe sequel to Plan 04-04 + debug session-2:

- **Plan 04-04 SUMMARY** (`.planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-04-SUMMARY.md`, amended at commit `c1501e7`): the Wave 0 SPIKE FAILED outcome (8505 bytes; 2026-05-21) is empirically REFUTED-architecture by debug session-2. The post-debug amendment authorizes Plan 04-08 insertion (Wave 5.5; between 04-06 and 04-07).
- **Debug session-2** (`.planning/debug/sw-offscreen-persistence-investigation-session-2.md`, commit `4ea1bbb`): 3 independent probes converge on the canonical NO answer (architecture is sound). Segment-count probes at POST-PRIME/PRE-KILL/POST-KILL: 0 / 3 / 3 — segments accumulated correctly AND survived the SW kill. Step C variant (SPIKE_SKIP_SW_KILL=1) reproduces the identical 8505-byte failure — confirms Puppeteer CDP `worker.close()` is NOT the cause. Direct Remux logs (visible in Step C): `Segment ts=1..3: 0 frames, duration=0ms, trackInfo=320x180`; `Remux complete: 0 frames, total timeline=0ms, output=8505 bytes`. Root cause: canvas.captureStream invisible-source throttling per Chrome bug 653548.

**Persisting artifacts from Plan 04-04 (now repurposed under valid methodology):**
- `tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts:68-80` — `stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId)` helper. Plan 04-04 commit `3726eee`. Plan 04-08 reuses verbatim.
- `tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts` — one-shot reproducible spike script. Plan 04-04 commit `3726eee` + debug session-2 Step B (probe additions) + Step C (skip-sw-kill mode). Plan 04-08 re-runs it as the canonical regression-verification gate for the methodology fix.
- `tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts:1434` — `findLatestZip` exported helper. Plan 04-04 commit `3726eee`. Plan 04-08 reuses verbatim.

## Architectural Integrity Statement

**`src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 let segments: Blob[] = []` is UNCHANGED** — grep gate enforces (`grep -cE 'let segments: Blob\[\] = \[\];' src/offscreen/recorder.ts` returns 1). Plan 04-08 honors the debug session-2 verdict that segment-count probe values (POST-PRIME=0 / PRE-KILL=3 / POST-KILL=3) prove the offscreen-RAM architecture is canonically correct. NO IndexedDB persistence work was performed; NO chrome.storage migration; NO offscreen-document lifecycle changes. The previously-proposed IndexedDB persistence plan-fix recommendation from Plan 04-04 SUMMARY's "Recommended Next Step" section is **REJECTED**.

The Plan 04-04 SUMMARY post-debug amendment (commit `c1501e7`) is the canonical authority on this routing decision; Plan 04-08 is its execution.

## Next Plan Handoff

Plan 04-08 closes ROADMAP SC #1. Remaining Phase 4 plans:

- **Plan 04-05** (queued): A34 fetch + XHR network_error empirical (ROADMAP SC #2; validates Plan 04-01 P1 #11 end-to-end).
- **Plan 04-06** (queued): Dark-logo currentColor + cursor visibility verification + 01-07-SUMMARY back-patch (UI-SPEC; operator empirical ack).
- **Plan 04-07** (queued): Phase 4 closure aggregator + ROADMAP backfill (D-P4-05) + v1 milestone close prep. Plan 04-07 can now reference ROADMAP SC #1 as GREEN; v1 milestone close prep unblocked from the SW persistence side.
