## Fixed Issues

### Critical (3/3 fixed in iteration 1)

#### CR-01: Port reconnect race drops BUFFER response under reconnect-during-encode

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `2e3f524`
**Applied fix:** Captured `portAtRequest = keepalivePort` before the await in
`encodeAndSendBuffer`. After `blobToBase64` completes, refuse to post if
`keepalivePort !== portAtRequest` (i.e. a reconnect replaced the port mid-encode).
The SW already times out cleanly after 2 s, so the next SAVE_ARCHIVE re-issues
REQUEST_BUFFER on the fresh port — stale data never leaks to a stranger port.

#### CR-02: SW never registers `onMessage` on the incoming port — PING silently discarded

**Files modified:** `src/background/index.ts`
**Commit:** `2e3f524`
**Applied fix:** Added a permanent `port.onMessage.addListener` in the SW
`onConnect` handler that explicitly drains PING and silently drops unknown
traffic. The per-request BUFFER listener installed by `getVideoBufferFromOffscreen`
still wins (it's added later in the listener chain when SAVE_ARCHIVE fires).
Guarantees the SW idle-timer reset is consumed by a real handler under all
Chrome 110+ behaviour variants.

#### CR-03: Handshake deadlock after Service Worker respawn

**Files modified:** `src/background/index.ts`
**Commit:** `2e3f524`
**Applied fix:** When `chrome.offscreen.hasDocument()` returns true on SW init,
immediately call `offscreenReadyResolve?.()` and null the resolver. The offscreen
MUST have completed its bootstrap before becoming observable via `hasDocument()`
— waiting for an OFFSCREEN_READY that will never come is the deadlock.

### Warnings (8/9 fixed; WR-06 pre-approved skip)

#### WR-01: getDisplayMedia rejection surfaces raw DOMException message

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`, `tests/offscreen/codec-check.test.ts`
**Commit:** `650c546`
**Applied fix:** Added `classifyCaptureError(error: unknown): CaptureErrorCode`
that maps DOMException names (`NotAllowedError`, `SecurityError`, `NotFoundError`,
`AbortError`) and our own codec-error to a stable string union
(`'user-cancelled' | 'permission-denied' | 'codec-unsupported' | 'no-source-selected' | 'capture-failed' | 'unknown'`).
`startRecording` and `startNewSegment` (sweep #3) both emit the code via
RECORDING_ERROR instead of the raw `error.message`. Raw message stays in logs at
warn level for forensic value. Added 7 unit tests pinning the classifier.

#### WR-02: `assertCodecSupported()` has a side-effect

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`, `tests/offscreen/codec-check.test.ts`
**Commit:** `650c546`
**Applied fix:** Removed the `chrome.runtime.sendMessage` from inside
`assertCodecSupported`. The function is now a pure predicate that throws.
`startRecording`'s catch block (which routes through `classifyCaptureError`) is
now the single source of truth for the broadcast. Fixes the double-emit pattern
where popup received two RECORDING_ERROR messages for one underlying problem.
Updated `codec-check.test.ts` to assert the no-side-effect contract.

#### WR-03: `mergeVideoSegments` sort uses non-stable timestamp resolution

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `2e3f524`
**Applied fix:** Added a module-level `let segmentSeq = 0;` counter and replaced
`baseTimestamp + idx` with `++segmentSeq`. Switched the encode loop from
`Promise.all(map)` to a sequential `for` loop so the counter increments are
deterministic.

#### WR-04: smoke.sh python3 fallback emits raw HTML into data URL

**Files modified:** `smoke.sh`
**Commit:** `349ae88`
**Applied fix:** Required python3 in pre-flight checks. Removed the
`|| printf '%s' "${SMOKE_HTML}"` fallback. Now smoke.sh fails loudly if python3
is missing instead of producing a Chrome-unparseable data: URL silently. Also
applied bash style sweep (sweep #7): added `--` separators to `rm`, `mkdir`,
`stat`, `cp`, `ls`, `dirname`, `unzip` calls per Google shell style guide
defensive-against-leading-dash filenames.

#### WR-05: smoke.sh detects new zip by count, not identity

**Files modified:** `smoke.sh`
**Commit:** `349ae88`
**Applied fix:** Snapshot the full `BEFORE_ZIPS` list pre-recording, compute
`NEW_ZIPS=$(comm -13 <BEFORE> <AFTER>)` in the polling loop, then pick the
latest among genuinely-new zips by mtime. The previous count-only comparison
false-positived when ANY session_report appeared in Downloads from an unrelated
extension session.

#### WR-06: blobToBase64 O(n²) string concat — DEFERRED to Phase 2

**Status:** SKIPPED (pre-approved per REVIEW.md own analysis)
**Reason:** REVIEW.md explicitly classifies this as "out of v1 review scope
(performance)" and notes the per-byte concat is the portable way to avoid
`String.fromCharCode(...subarray)` apply-spread argument-length limit (~64 KiB).
The trade-off comment in `src/shared/binary.ts:45-47` documents the choice. The
review itself recommends: "None needed for v1. For Phase 2, consider chunked
apply with 32 KiB stride." Flagged for Phase 2 quality-bump review.

#### WR-07: base64ToBlob does not validate input

**Files modified:** `src/shared/binary.ts`, `src/background/index.ts`, `tests/offscreen/port-serialization.test.ts`
**Commit:** `e9aae09`
**Applied fix:** Added defensive `if (b64.length === 0) return new Blob([], { type: mimeType });`
early-return in `base64ToBlob`. In SW's `getVideoBufferFromOffscreen`, filter
empty wire segments before decode (single-pass `.filter()` then `.flatMap()`
chain — no `continue` statement per project style) AND filter zero-byte
post-decode blobs (defense-in-depth against decode edge cases). Added 3 unit
tests pinning the empty-input + adversarial-input contract (covers sweep #6).

#### WR-08: downloadArchive duplicates blobToBase64 inline

**Files modified:** `src/background/index.ts`
**Commit:** `f8a9c10`
**Applied fix:** Added `blobToBase64` to the existing import from
`../shared/binary`, replaced the inline `arrayBuffer → Uint8Array → for-loop →
btoa` chain with `const base64 = await blobToBase64(archiveBlob);`. Future
performance work (e.g. chunked apply for WR-06 Phase 2) now propagates to both
call sites automatically.

#### WR-09: mergeVideoSegments accepts unfinalized in-flight segment

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `2e3f524`
**Applied fix:** Include in-flight Blob ONLY when `finalized.length === 0` (the
first-10-s UX trade-off documented at the original comment). Once any rotation
has finalized a segment, the unfinalized in-flight tail is dropped.

### Info (5/6 fixed; IN-06 pre-approved skip)

#### IN-01: Hardcoded extensionVersion '1.0.0'

**Files modified:** `src/background/index.ts`
**Commit:** `6286957`
**Applied fix:** Replaced `extensionVersion: '1.0.0'` with
`extensionVersion: chrome.runtime.getManifest().version`. SessionMetadata now
reflects the running manifest version, eliminating the dormant lie when the
manifest bumps.

#### IN-02: Logger/ContentLogger use `...args: any[]`

**Files modified:** `src/shared/logger.ts`
**Commit:** `b0631a4`
**Applied fix:** Migrated `Logger` and `ContentLogger` from `...args: any[]` to
`...args: unknown[]`. The `private logWithLevel` and all three public methods
(log/warn/error) on each class updated. console.log accepts unknown values
natively (its variadic signature is `(...data: any[]) => void`). Style
divergence note from plan 01-03 is now retired — all three loggers share the
same signature.

#### IN-03: Vestigial ring-buffer.test.ts breadcrumb

**Files modified:** `tests/offscreen/ring-buffer.test.ts` (deleted)
**Commit:** `cb23143`
**Applied fix:** `git rm tests/offscreen/ring-buffer.test.ts`. The successor
test suite `tests/offscreen/segment-rotation.test.ts` covers the D-13 invariants.
The retirement remains auditable via `git log -- tests/offscreen/ring-buffer.test.ts`.
Test count dropped from 41 → 40 (the breadcrumb's single passing assertion was
just `expect(true).toBe(true)`).

#### IN-04: webm-playback.test.ts dead `decodeDryRun` helper

**Files modified:** `tests/offscreen/webm-playback.test.ts`
**Commit:** `680eee3`
**Applied fix:** Deleted the `decodeDryRun(execFileSync)` helper and the
`void decodeDryRun` noUnusedLocals appeasement hack. Moved the documentation
that motivated keeping both helpers into a JSDoc block above
`decodeDryRunStrict`. The retained spawnSync-based path is the actual code path
used by the assertions; the execFileSync variant existed only as a documentation
foil. Also deduplicated the `import { spawnSync } from 'node:child_process'`
which was added mid-file.

#### IN-05: Message<T = any> default

**Files modified:** `src/shared/types.ts`, `src/popup/index.ts`
**Commit:** `a6e2d09`
**Applied fix:** Changed `Message<T = any>` to `Message<T = unknown>`. Audit of
downstream call sites found NO direct `.data` accesses — both the SW (`src/background/index.ts`)
and the offscreen (`src/offscreen/recorder.ts`) destructure via `msg.type` switch
without reading `.data`. tsc remained at exit 0 with no widening required.
Companion sweep applied:
- `RrwebEventsResponse.events: any[]` → `unknown[]`
- `UserEvent.meta?: Record<string, any>` → `Record<string, unknown>`
- `src/popup/index.ts` local `log(...args: any[])` → `unknown[]` (aligns with IN-02)

#### IN-06: Manifest permissions — broader than strictly required

**Status:** SKIPPED (pre-approved per REVIEW.md own analysis)
**Reason:** REVIEW.md explicitly states "No defect — flagged for principle-of-
least-privilege awareness for any future scoping work." `activeTab` remains in
use by `chrome.tabs.captureVisibleTab` for the screenshot path (legitimate).
`<all_urls>` host_permissions is required by the content script (rrweb
injection). Documented as sufficient-but-broad in
[CONTEXT.md](./01-CONTEXT.md) D-A6 / D-05.

## Sweep Targets (8 addressed)

### #1: Race between rotateSegment() and STOP_RECORDING

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`, `tests/offscreen/segment-rotation.test.ts`
**Commit:** `08a79a6`
**Applied fix:** `stopRecording()` now nulls `mediaStream` FIRST (before
`videoRecorder.stop()`), so the subsequent async `onSegmentStopped` callback's
`if (mediaStream !== null) startNewSegment()` gate sees the stopped state and
exits cleanly. Also stops the captured stream's tracks to release the Chrome
"Sharing your screen" indicator (secondary issue). Added regression test pinning
`resetBuffer` clears all segments and subsequent pushes start from empty buffer.
Note: deliberately does NOT call `resetBuffer()` in `stopRecording()` — the
operator may STOP then SAVE the buffered footage.

### #2: encodeAndSendBuffer re-entrance

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `7c91f52`
**Applied fix:** Added `encodeInFlight: boolean` guard around `encodeAndSendBuffer`.
The async work is moved into `doEncodeAndSendBuffer(portAtRequest)` and wrapped
in a try/finally that clears the flag. A concurrent call drops with a warn log;
the SW timeout fires cleanly and the next saveArchive retries on the
post-completion state. Prevents three issues: (a) interleaved `segmentSeq`
increments creating non-contiguous timestamps, (b) overlapping content if SW
combined two BUFFERs, (c) unnecessary base64 CPU during the encode window.

### #3: startNewSegment MediaRecorder constructor throw

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `7c91f52`
**Applied fix:** Wrapped the `new MediaRecorder(...)` + `.start()` block in a
try/catch. On throw (codec hot-swap, GPU/driver change), classify via
`classifyCaptureError` (re-using WR-01's classifier), emit RECORDING_ERROR with
the code, and tear down session state (null mediaStream, null videoRecorder,
clear rotation timer, stop all stream tracks). Previously the rotation chain
would die silently — popup green, nothing recording. Now the operator gets
actionable feedback.

### #4: onUserStoppedSharing re-entrance with `{ once: true }` per track

**Files modified:** `src/offscreen/recorder.ts`
**Commit:** `7c91f52`
**Applied fix:** Added `teardownInProgress: boolean` guard. The handler is
registered with `{ once: true }` on EACH track of the stream; with multiple
tracks (video + audio under D-13 — audio currently disabled but the
registration walks `getTracks()` defensively), both tracks could fire `ended`
in close succession and double-emit RECORDING_ERROR. The guard gates the
broadcast + cleanup; reset via `queueMicrotask` so same-tick re-entrance is
still gated but future startRecording → onUserStoppedSharing cycles work
correctly.

### #5: getVideoBufferFromOffscreen resolver leak

**Files modified:** `src/background/index.ts`
**Commit:** `034155b`
**Applied fix:** Added diagnostic logging in the buffer-fetch timeout callback:
`port_replaced_during_fetch: videoPort !== port`. Surfaces the case where the
captured `port` reference went stale (offscreen reconnected mid-fetch) — the
operator's log now shows the reconnect timing was the proximate cause of the
silent timeout. The 2 s timeout itself is the cleanup mechanism (not a true
leak); this fix turns a previously-invisible failure into a debuggable one.

### #6: base64ToBlob adversarial input (extends WR-07)

**Files modified:** `tests/offscreen/port-serialization.test.ts` (test-only)
**Commit:** `e9aae09` (folded into WR-07)
**Applied fix:** Added test asserting `base64ToBlob('!!!not-base64!!!', mime)`
throws synchronously. The caller (`getVideoBufferFromOffscreen`) has a try/catch
that drops the bad segment without aborting the batch — that contract is now
empirically pinned. No production code change needed beyond WR-07's filter; the
error classification at the caller would be over-engineering for a single
log-and-skip path.

### #7: smoke.sh Google Bash style sweep

**Files modified:** `smoke.sh`
**Commit:** `349ae88` (folded into WR-04 + WR-05)
**Applied fix:** Added `--` separators to user-path-taking commands per Google
shell style guide §"Special considerations" (defense against filenames starting
with `-`): `rm -rf --`, `mkdir -p --`, `cp --`, `stat --`, `ls --`, `dirname --`,
`unzip -p --`. Documented the `&& GATE=0 || GATE=$?` chain (REVIEW.md's WR-04
false-alarm note) as correct in inline comment. No further `set -euo pipefail`
interactions found; the existing `|| true` patterns are properly scoped.

### #8: build-config hygiene (vite.config.ts / vitest.config.ts)

**Status:** NO ACTION (clean after inspection)
**Reason:** Both configs are minimal. `vite.config.ts` has crxjs with
`injectCss: false` (intentional per D-08 — no content CSS injection) and
explicit `offscreen: 'src/offscreen/index.html'` rollup input (necessary for
crxjs to discover the offscreen entry). `vitest.config.ts` has
`environment: 'node'` (correct — no jsdom needed), `typecheck: { enabled: false }`
(tsc runs separately via `npm run build`). No unused plugins, no missing
strict options, alignment with tsconfig.json is correct. Build verified clean:
`npm run build` exits 0 with 60 modules transformed.

## Test Status (end of pass)

```
$ npx vitest run --reporter=dot

 Test Files  7 passed (7)

- WR-01 classifier additions: +7 tests (in codec-check.test.ts)
- WR-07 adversarial-input additions: +3 tests (in port-serialization.test.ts)
- Sweep #1 segment-rotation additions: +1 test (in segment-rotation.test.ts)
- **Final: 40 tests, 7 files**

```
$ npx tsc --noEmit

```

```
$ npm run build
✓ 60 modules transformed.
✓ built in 3.17s (exit 0)
```

## Constraints Respected

- **D-12 (base64 wire format):** Untouched. All WR-07 / WR-08 / sweep #5
  changes preserve the base64 round-trip contract pinned by
  `tests/offscreen/port-serialization.test.ts`.
- **D-13 (restart-segments lifecycle):** Untouched. Sweep #1 / #3 hardening
  preserves the segment rotation cadence and the
  `MAX_SEGMENTS × SEGMENT_DURATION_MS = 30_000 ms` operator-facing promise.
- **Project memory `feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes`:** Followed. No hot-edits
  outside the REVIEW.md scope; the type-safety companion fixes (popup/types)
  were scoped expansion of IN-02/IN-05 per the user's "full scope" + "many more"
  directive, NOT mid-fix incidental edits.
- **Project memory `feedback-no-unilateral-scope-reduction`:** Followed. All 18
  findings + all 8 sweep targets attempted. The 2 skips (WR-06, IN-06) are
  documented in REVIEW.md as pre-approved no-defect / Phase-2-deferral, NOT
  unilateral context cuts.

## Next Step

Phase 1 closure marking was already done in iteration 1's predecessors
(`7df72aa`, `1d06d9d`). Per the `<no_phase_completion_marking>` directive, this
fix pass does NOT touch REQ-*/ROADMAP.md/STATE.md.

**Orchestrator action:** commit this REVIEW-FIX.md, then run `/gsd-verify-work 1`
to gate Phase 1 requirements against the post-fix branch state.
