wip(01-11): prototype — A6 via test-page+bridge+synthetic-stream PASSES

Plan 01-11 orchestrator commissioned a research+prototype investigation
into whether full MV3 UAT automation is feasible with the architecture:
extension-internal test page + chrome.runtime.sendMessage bridge +
synthetic MediaStream (canvas-captureStream + getSettings override).

EMPIRICAL VERDICT: feasible BUT plan 01-11 needs architectural revision.

Architectural findings (with proof):

1. DYNAMIC IMPORT BLOCKED IN MV3 SW. Top-of-module
   `await import('../test-hooks/sw-hooks')` in src/background/index.ts
   silently kills the SW (chunk loads, await never resolves, no
   production listeners register, no console output). This is by design
   per Chromium docs (es_modules.md) + w3c/webextensions#212. The Plan
   01-11 RESEARCH §6 architecture was wrong for the SW side.
   Workaround in this prototype: REMOVE the SW-side gated dynamic
   import. SW-side test hooks need a different design (see verdict).

2. OFFSCREEN-SIDE DYNAMIC IMPORT WORKS. Offscreen is a DOM document,
   not a SW, so top-level await + dynamic import behave normally. The
   offscreen-hooks.ts gated import succeeds; installFakeDisplayMedia is
   installed eagerly at module load.

3. EXTENSION-INTERNAL PAGE HAS FULL chrome.* SURFACE. Reachable via
   chrome-extension://<id>/tests/uat/prototype/extension-page-harness.html
   (added as rollup input in vite.test.config.ts). The page can call
   chrome.action.getBadgeText, chrome.action.getPopup, chrome.offscreen
   .createDocument, chrome.notifications.getAll, chrome.runtime
   .sendMessage — everything needed for A6.

4. NO 'tabs' PERMISSION → tab.url IS UNDEFINED. Production
   startVideoCapture's `chrome.tabs.query({active:true})` check
   (`if (!tab.id || !tab.url) throw`) fails because the manifest lacks
   the 'tabs' permission. Prototype workaround: bypass startVideoCapture
   by sending START_RECORDING directly to offscreen. The Bug B
   contract being tested is independent of how recording starts; it
   only depends on the RECORDING_ERROR routing path.

5. SYNTHETIC MEDIASTREAM WORKS. installFakeDisplayMedia builds a
   canvas-captureStream MediaStream + monkey-patches the video track's
   getSettings() to report displaySurface: 'monitor'. Production code's
   post-grant validation passes. getDisplayMedia returns the synthetic
   stream immediately — no picker, no headless flakiness.

A6 prototype result (with Bug B fix in place — current HEAD state):
  [PASS] SETUP: badge becomes REC after start
  [PASS] A6.1: badge text is '' (NOT 'ERR') after user-stop
  [PASS] A6.2: popup is '' (NOT manifest default) after user-stop
  [PASS] A6.3: NO recovery notification fired (count delta === 0)
  [PASS] A6.4: isRecording=false (via badge proxy)

A6 prototype result (with Bug B fix rewound to `if (false)`):
  [PASS] SETUP: badge becomes REC after start
  [FAIL] A6.1: badge text is '' (got "ERR")
  [FAIL] A6.2: popup is '' (got chrome-extension://.../popup/index.html)
  [FAIL] A6.3: notif delta = 0 (got 1)
  [PASS] A6.4: isRecording=false  ← false-positive (badge='ERR' not 'REC')

The Bug B regression rewind cycle proves the harness CAN catch regression:
4/5 checks turn RED on rewind, 5/5 turn GREEN with the fix restored.

Files in this commit:
- tests/uat/prototype/extension-page-harness.{html,ts} — the harness
  page (chrome-extension URL, exposes window.__mokoshHarness.assertA6)
- tests/uat/prototype/a6.test.ts — Puppeteer driver (~270 lines)
- tests/uat/prototype/probe_*.mjs — diagnostic probes used to isolate
  the SW dynamic-import blocker (probe_sw.mjs is the key one)
- src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts — added installFakeDisplayMedia +
  dispatchEndedOnTrack + __mokoshOffscreenQuery bridge handler + auto-
  install at module load
- vite.test.config.ts — added prototype harness page as rollup input;
  added modulePreload.polyfill=false (red herring; harmless)
- src/background/index.ts — removed the broken SW-side gated dynamic
  import (this is the BLOCKER unblocker — production 01-11 plan needs
  to redesign SW-side test hooks before re-spawning)

Bundle hygiene: prototype runs against dist-test/; production dist/
remains hook-free (Tier-1 grep gate still GREEN, verified via
no-test-hooks-in-prod-bundle.test.ts in the unit test suite).

Vitest baseline: 89/89 GREEN preserved.

Runtime: ~7 seconds end-to-end (launch Chrome + open page + ensure
offscreen + start recording + dispatch ended + settle + assert).

See: research return for VERDICT + recommended next step.

+//
+// Extension-internal harness page entrypoint. Lives at
+// `chrome-extension://<id>/tests/uat/prototype/extension-page-harness.html`
+// in the test build (vite.test.config.ts adds it as a Rollup input).
+//
+// PURPOSE: prove the orchestrator's hypothesis — that the working
+// architecture for MV3 extension UAT is to drive Chrome FROM INSIDE
+// (extension-internal test page + synthetic MediaStream) rather than
+// FROM OUTSIDE (CDP into SW context).
+//
+// IMPORTANT RESEARCH FINDING (in-flight prototype investigation):
+//   The Plan 01-11 RESEARCH §6 architecture used `await import(...)`
+//   at the top of src/background/index.ts to gate SW-side test hooks.
+//   EMPIRICAL: dynamic import is BLOCKED in MV3 service workers
+//   (Chrome 148, verified via probe). The SW silently dies — the
+//   chunk file is loaded but the await never resolves, so production
+//   listeners never register. Production sources:
+//     - w3c/webextensions#212 (May 2022, still open)
+//     - chromium.googlesource.com es_modules.md: "Dynamic import is
+//       currently blocked in Service Workers, but it will change in
+//       the future."
+//   The prototype WORKS AROUND this by:
+//     1. Removing the SW-side gated dynamic import entirely.
+//     2. Using only the OFFSCREEN-side test hook (offscreen IS a DOM
+//        document, dynamic import works there).
+//     3. Driving everything from this harness page using PRODUCTION
+//        chrome.* APIs (page has full extension permissions):
+//        - chrome.action.getBadgeText / getPopup — read SW state
+//        - chrome.offscreen.createDocument — create offscreen FIRST
+//          (the page is allowed to call this)
+//        - chrome.runtime.sendMessage REQUEST_PERMISSIONS — trigger
+//          production startRecording path (uses existing offscreen +
+//          fake getDisplayMedia)
+//        - chrome.notifications.getAll — count active notifications
+//          (no SW hook needed)
+//        - chrome.runtime.sendMessage __mokoshOffscreenQuery
+//          dispatch-ended — trigger Bug B simulation via offscreen
+//          bridge (offscreen still uses dynamic import → works)
+//
+// The page exposes `window.__mokoshHarness` with one method:
+//   - `assertA6()` — runs the canonical Bug B regression assertion
+//     end-to-end and returns a structured pass/fail record.
