# Plan 04-08 Pre-Execution Validation — Iter-1

**Plan under review:** `.planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-PLAN.md` @ commit `504d9dc`

**Phase goal recall:** Close ROADMAP SC #1 ("After running the extension idle for >5 minutes, then exporting, the archive still contains a non-empty video buffer") via methodology reframe, per debug session-2 REFUTED-architecture verdict (commit `4ea1bbb`). Plan 04-08 inserts as Wave 5.5 between Plans 04-06 and 04-07, replaces `canvas.captureStream(30)` with `HTMLVideoElement.captureStream(30)` in `installFakeDisplayMedia()`, re-runs the spike under valid methodology, then lands A33 + driveA33 + orchestrator wiring (33→34 GREEN).

## Goal-Backward Verification — Closes SC #1?

**Architectural claim:** Plan 04-08 replaces canvas.captureStream (throttled to 0 frames under headless 5-min idle per debug session-2) with HTMLVideoElement.captureStream backed by a bundled WebM source. The video file's real decoded frame timeline is NOT subject to invisible-canvas throttling — `videoEl.captureStream(30)` on a `<video>` element playing a bundled WebM produces real VP9 frames continuously across the 5-min idle.

**Authority for the claim:** debug session-2 verdict explicitly recommends "(b) replace the canvas-captureStream fake with a video-file-backed source (e.g., MediaStream from an HTMLVideoElement playing a bundled WebM) which doesn't suffer the invisible-canvas throttling" (line 69 of session-2 note). 7/7 spike runs across two debug sessions converge on the 8505-byte 0-frames failure under canvas; the videoEl path explicitly side-steps it per MDN HTMLMediaElement.captureStream + Chrome bug 653548 design doc.

**Verdict:** YES — Plan 04-08 IS architecturally the correct path to close SC #1. The methodology bypasses the documented root cause. The architectural invariant (`src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 let segments: Blob[] = []` unchanged) is preserved verbatim. The IndexedDB plan-fix is correctly REJECTED per session-2 evidence.

**Caveat:** The plan's architectural correctness is necessary but not sufficient. Two BLOCKERs (below) prevent the plan from delivering reliably as currently written. They are fixable in iter-2.

## Findings by Severity

### BLOCKER

#### BLOCKER 1 — Vite `?url` asset-emission assumption is mis-extrapolated from Plan 01-10 SVG precedent

**Dimension:** key_links_planned / verification_derivation

**Plan claim** (line 42 must_have, line 132 context, line 543 Step 5, line 553 Step 6):
> "bundled into the test-config build via Vite ?url import (per Plan 01-10 mokosh-mark.svg precedent)"
> "the Vite `?url` import resolves the WebM via Vite's asset pipeline. ... `@crxjs/vite-plugin` auto-generates a `web_accessible_resources` entry for the offscreen-reachable asset (same pattern as Plan 01-10 mokosh-mark.svg per the existing welcome.ts precedent)."

**Empirical reality** (verified during this check):

- `src/shared/brand/mokosh-mark.svg` is **877 bytes** (below Vite's default `assetsInlineLimit: 4096`).
- The actual build output at `dist/assets/welcome-BXz6I5Ha.js` contains the SVG inlined as `data:image/svg+xml,%3csvg%20xmlns=...` URI — NOT as a separate `dist/assets/<hash>.svg` file.
- The current `dist/manifest.json` web_accessible_resources block contains ONLY `src/welcome/welcome.html` + 3 hashed JS chunks — NO SVG entry. The crxjs plugin did NOT auto-WAR the SVG because the SVG was never emitted as a file.
- `tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm` is **1888636 bytes (1.9 MB)** — three orders of magnitude above the inline limit. Vite WILL emit it as a separate `dist-test/assets/<hash>.webm` file.

**Why this is a BLOCKER:**

The Plan 01-10 SVG precedent is fundamentally a different code path. The 1.9 MB WebM follows the *extracted-asset* path which has NOT been exercised in this codebase. Three specific unknowns:

1. **WAR auto-generation behavior for extracted assets is unverified.** `@crxjs/vite-plugin` is documented to auto-WAR assets transitively reachable from extension pages, but the offscreen document is NOT a typical extension page (it has its own document context loaded via `chrome.offscreen.createDocument`). The current `dist-test/manifest.json` is IDENTICAL to `dist/manifest.json` (both list the same WAR entries), suggesting the test-bundle's offscreen-hooks.ts module currently does not import any `?url` asset — Plan 04-08 would be the first test of this code path.
2. **`chrome-extension://<id>/assets/<hash>.webm` accessibility from the offscreen document via `<video>.src` is unverified.** Even with full extension privileges, an HTMLVideoElement loading a chrome-extension:// URL has Chrome-internal CORS + scheme rules. Operator-acceptance evidence in the codebase shows the offscreen has loaded chrome-extension:// resources for its own JS chunks, but never a binary media asset for `<video>.src`.
3. **Plan 04-08's contingency block is informal.** Step 5 says "Decision (executor verifies during Step 6 verify): if `@crxjs/vite-plugin` auto-WARs the asset (high confidence per Plan 01-10 precedent + Plan 01-12 RESEARCH §155), NO manifest.json edit is required. If WAR auto-generation fails ... add an explicit entry." This delegates a likely-failing path to executor improvisation, violating the spike-first contract that informed Plan 04-04 — the executor would be making an architectural decision under pressure.

**Remediation for iter-2** (concrete options):

- **Option A (preferred):** Pre-decide the WAR strategy. Spawn a one-shot probe BEFORE Task 1 lands the canvas-replacement code: write a 10-line synthetic offscreen-hooks edit that imports a tiny `tests/fixtures/probe.webm?url` (~ a few hundred bytes via ffmpeg `-c:v libvpx-vp9 -frames:v 1`), run `npm run build:test`, inspect `dist-test/manifest.json` for the WAR entry, then revert. Lock the empirical answer into Plan 04-08 BEFORE the methodology replacement.
- **Option B:** Pre-emptively add the explicit WAR entry in `manifest.json`:
  ```json
  {
    "matches": ["<all_urls>"],
    "resources": ["assets/*.webm"]
  }
  ```
  Cost: adds an entry to the production manifest, even though the `*.webm` is test-only. But because `dist/` for production has zero webm assets (only `dist-test/` does), the entry would be inert in production — costs nothing at runtime, costs only the diff in the production manifest.
- **Option C:** Sidestep entirely by reading the fixture as a `?raw` ArrayBuffer or base64 string (NOT a URL) and constructing a Blob URL inside the offscreen at module load:
  ```typescript
  import webmBase64 from '../../tests/uat/fixtures/synthetic-display-source.webm?raw';  // or ?inline
  const webmBlob = new Blob([Uint8Array.from(atob(webmBase64), c => c.charCodeAt(0))], { type: 'video/webm' });
  const videoEl = document.createElement('video');
  videoEl.src = URL.createObjectURL(webmBlob);
  ```
  This bypasses the chrome-extension://-scheme question entirely (blob: URLs work universally in same-origin contexts). Cost: ~2.5 MB string bloat in the dist-test bundle (1.9 MB base64-encoded ≈ +33%); tree-shaken in production via `__MOKOSH_UAT__`. The Plan 02-02 D-P2-01 lifecycle precedent already establishes the "Blob URL minted in offscreen" pattern.

**Recommended path:** Option A (probe-then-decide) OR Option C (sidestep). Option B works but increases the production manifest's surface area slightly.

#### BLOCKER 2 — `installFakeDisplayMedia()` async conversion is silently incompatible with the eager-install-at-module-load contract

**Dimension:** task_completeness / key_links_planned

**Plan claim** (lines 471-472 + 502-517):
> "Note: `installFakeDisplayMedia()` becomes async (it now `await`s the canplay event + .play()). The existing module-load eager call at the bottom of the file (lines 533-537) wraps in try/catch — update to either: (a) `void installFakeDisplayMedia().catch(...)` OR (b) leave the try/catch but accept that the wrapper now logs the rejection. Recommendation: option (a) for explicit fire-and-forget semantics; the bridge op `install-fake-display-media` (line 408-418) already awaits-and-responds properly."

**Empirical reality** (verified during this check):

- `src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts` lines 528-537 currently calls `installFakeDisplayMedia()` **eagerly** at module load (synchronous void call).
- `src/offscreen/recorder.ts:46-48` imports the test-hooks module via **top-level await**:
  ```typescript
  if (__MOKOSH_UAT__) {
    testHooks = await import('../test-hooks/offscreen-hooks');
  }
  ```
- The current contract is: *by the time `recorder.ts:48` resolves, `navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia` is ALREADY monkey-patched on the offscreen document's `navigator` object.* This means when `recorder.ts:startRecording` is invoked later, `await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(...)` resolves with the synthetic stream immediately.

**Why the plan's recommended option (a) breaks this contract:**

If `installFakeDisplayMedia()` becomes async AND the module-load call switches to `void installFakeDisplayMedia().catch(...)` — fire-and-forget — there is a race window:

1. `recorder.ts:48` resolves (test-hooks dynamic import done).
2. `recorder.ts` continues to `bootstrap()` + later `startRecording()`.
3. The async `installFakeDisplayMedia()` is still awaiting `canplay` + `videoEl.play()` (potentially hundreds of ms on cold load).
4. `recorder.ts:startRecording` calls `await navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia(...)`. Because installFakeDisplayMedia hasn't yet executed line 261 (`navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia = fakeGetDisplayMedia`), the REAL `navigator.mediaDevices.getDisplayMedia` is invoked → Chrome screen-share picker pops → in headless mode this hangs forever OR rejects with NotAllowedError.

This race is structurally identical to the chicken-and-egg condition that the current eager-sync install was DESIGNED to prevent — and the in-line code comment at lines 530-532 documents this: "PROTOTYPE: install the fake getDisplayMedia eagerly so production recorder.startRecording will use the synthetic stream on its first call — **no chicken-and-egg with the bridge install op**."

**The plan's option (b)** (leave try/catch, accept rejection logging) keeps the surface signature the same but doesn't address the underlying race either — the eager call would resolve synchronously to a Promise that's still pending; the `try` block exits without waiting; the same race happens.

**Why this is a BLOCKER:**

This is the kind of subtle ordering bug that produces "spike re-run still produces small-byte WebM" symptoms WITHOUT being a methodology regression — it would falsely re-confirm the canvas-throttling hypothesis in iter-2 because the fake stream isn't installed in time and the recorder falls back to whatever happens (in headless: hang, then timeout, then empty buffer). This would consume an entire spike re-run (~6-7 min wall-clock + executor cycle) to surface, by which point context budget is degraded.

**Remediation for iter-2** (concrete options):

- **Option A (preferred):** Move the heavy async work (canplay wait + play()) into a NEW async wrapper, but keep the synchronous part (videoEl creation + DOM append + navigator.mediaDevices monkey-patch) eager. The mintStream factory becomes a lazy capture-stream that returns a stream whose first-frame readiness is awaited by the recorder if needed. Specifically:
  ```typescript
  export function installFakeDisplayMedia(): void {  // KEEP SYNC
    if (fakeInstalled) return;
    fakeInstalled = true;
    // ... create videoEl + appendChild (sync) ...
    // ... start play (kicked off; returns Promise; NOT awaited here) ...
    void videoEl.play();
    // Monkey-patch IMMEDIATELY (sync) — the fakeGetDisplayMedia closure
    // awaits canplay inside itself, not at install time.
    const fakeGetDisplayMedia = async (constraints?: DisplayMediaStreamOptions): Promise<MediaStream> => {
      lastGetDisplayMediaConstraints = constraints ?? null;
      // Wait for videoEl readiness ON THE CALL, not at install.
      if (videoEl.readyState < 3) {  // HAVE_FUTURE_DATA
        await new Promise<void>((resolve, reject) => { /* canplay/error */ });
      }
      return mintStream();
    };
    (navigator.mediaDevices as ...).getDisplayMedia = fakeGetDisplayMedia;
  }
  ```
  Cost: 1 extra await inside fakeGetDisplayMedia; runs only on first call (cached readyState afterwards). Preserves the eager-monkey-patch contract.
- **Option B:** Make the module load itself synchronously block on the async install via top-level await in offscreen-hooks.ts (since the module is already loaded under top-level-await context per recorder.ts:47). I.e., flip the module-load call from `installFakeDisplayMedia()` (sync void) to `await installFakeDisplayMedia();` at line 534. This propagates the wait correctly through recorder.ts:48 — recorder.ts:bootstrap doesn't run until canplay + play resolve. Cost: ~100-500ms added to offscreen document init wall-clock. Plan must explicitly state this and acknowledge it.
- **Option C:** Add a `installPromise` module-level cell that the bridge handler can await. Make the bridge `install-fake-display-media` op publicly awaitable; have the recorder's startRecording explicitly await the install promise before calling getDisplayMedia. Cost: ~3 LOC change to recorder.ts (slight invariant shift — recorder.ts now knows about test-hooks install state).

**Recommended path:** Option A (lazy first-frame wait inside fakeGetDisplayMedia) — most surgical, preserves the existing contract, no recorder.ts changes needed.

### WARNING

#### WARNING 1 — `<video>` autoplay reliability in headless Chrome offscreen documents is unverified

**Dimension:** task_completeness

The plan relies on `videoEl.muted = true; videoEl.autoplay = true; await videoEl.play();` for headless playback. Chrome's autoplay policy (https://developer.chrome.com/blog/autoplay) allows muted-autoplay generally, BUT offscreen documents are a non-standard execution context (no visible viewport, no user gesture path). The plan's claim "Headless Chrome reliably honors muted-autoplay but the explicit call removes any policy edge" (line 471) is plausible but unsupported by any in-tree precedent — there are zero `<video>` elements in the existing codebase's test bundle.

**Remediation:** Iter-2 should add an explicit fallback: if `videoEl.play()` rejects with `NotAllowedError`, the plan should specify a documented recovery (e.g., dispatch a synthetic user-activation via Puppeteer CDP `Input.dispatchKeyEvent`, OR fall back to a frame-buffer canvas refresh driven by `requestVideoFrameCallback` on the videoEl). Currently the plan throws and dies — no Plan B documented.

#### WARNING 2 — `displaySurface` monkey-patch portability to HTMLVideoElement track is unverified

**Dimension:** task_completeness / key_links_planned

The existing `patchDisplaySurface(stream)` helper at offscreen-hooks.ts:210-222 wraps `videoTrack.getSettings()` to inject `displaySurface: 'monitor'`. The current implementation works for canvas-captureStream tracks because those tracks expose a writable `getSettings` reference. HTMLVideoElement.captureStream may produce tracks with a different prototype chain — specifically, the MediaStreamTrack returned by HTMLMediaElement.captureStream is sometimes a `CanvasCaptureMediaStreamTrack`-equivalent but more often a regular `MediaStreamTrack` with sealed property descriptors. The plan claims "patchDisplaySurface(stream) call is preserved" (must_haves.artifacts line 57) but does not verify the monkey-patch survives.

**Remediation:** Iter-2 should add a Task 1 read_first check + verify step that runs the monkey-patch end-to-end (call mintStream + `track.getSettings().displaySurface === 'monitor'`) before the spike re-run. If the patch fails, the production code's post-grant `displaySurface !== 'monitor'` gate at `src/offscreen/recorder.ts:294` will tear down the stream + throw `'wrong-display-surface'` — the spike would fail at Step 2 (assertA2 prime), not at Step 7 (videoSize check).

#### WARNING 3 — Plan 04-04's spike script (`tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts`) is referenced as a re-run target but its expected behavior under the new methodology is informally specified

**Dimension:** verification_derivation

Plan 04-08 Task 2 Step 1 says: "Run: `HEADLESS=1 SKIP_PROD_REBUILD=0 npx tsx tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts 2>&1 | tee /tmp/04-08-spike-rerun.log`" with expected outcome `SPIKE OUTCOME: PASSED` + `videoSize > 100_000`. But Step 2 also says "the spike already uses `__mokoshHarness.assertA2` for the prime step. No edit needed — but verify the script's PROBE 1 (POST-PRIME) returns count=0 AND PROBE 2 (PRE-KILL after 5min idle) returns count=3 AND PROBE 3 (POST-KILL) returns count=3." (line 603).

These three checks are correct and meaningful — they distinguish "frames present + persistence works" (success) from "frames present but lost" (would re-confirm architecture issue) from "frames absent" (would re-confirm canvas issue). But they are buried in prose, not surfaced as explicit `<verify>` automated commands. If iter-2 sets these as explicit grep checks against the spike log, the plan checker can auto-verify them in Plan 04-08-SUMMARY without an executor judgment call.

**Remediation:** Iter-2 should add the three probe-value asserts as explicit grep gates in Task 2's `<verify>` block:
```bash
grep -E 'SPIKE PROBE \[POST-PRIME\]: segments\.length=0' /tmp/04-08-spike-rerun.log
grep -E 'SPIKE PROBE \[PRE-KILL\]: segments\.length=(3|[3-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)' /tmp/04-08-spike-rerun.log
grep -E 'SPIKE PROBE \[POST-KILL\]: segments\.length=(3|[3-9]|[1-9][0-9]+)' /tmp/04-08-spike-rerun.log
```

#### WARNING 4 — Task 2 Step 7 ROADMAP.md flip is described inline without enforcement gate

**Dimension:** task_completeness

Plan 04-08 Task 2 Step 7 says (line 698): "ROADMAP.md: flip Phase 4 SC #1 row from 'STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN' to 'STATUS 2026-05-22: CLOSED via Plan 04-08 — see .planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-08-SUMMARY.md'."

This is a critical state transition. The current ROADMAP.md (which I read at line 35-38) does NOT contain a "STATUS 2026-05-21: OPEN" row for Phase 4 SC #1 in machine-greppable form — it's prose. The executor would need to interpret where to add the row, increasing the risk of an ambiguous edit. The plan's `<verify>` block at line 705 does not enforce a post-edit grep gate on ROADMAP.md to confirm the flip landed.

**Remediation:** Iter-2 should specify the EXACT pre-edit line(s) to find + replace in ROADMAP.md (or document that the flip is a NEW row insertion), plus a `<verify>` grep gate like `grep -c 'CLOSED via Plan 04-08' .planning/ROADMAP.md` returns ≥ 1.

#### WARNING 5 — Plan 04-08 introduces no new FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS entries, but `synthetic-display-source` string appears in the test bundle without inventory acknowledgment

**Dimension:** context_compliance / scope_sanity

The plan correctly asserts (must_haves.truths line 49): "Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory unchanged at 12 entries ... Plan 04-08 introduces NO new __MOKOSH_UAT__-gated symbols on production bundle." This is correct in the sense that no `__mokoshTest`-style symbol is introduced.

BUT the WebM filename (`synthetic-display-source.webm`) will appear in the test bundle as the resolved Vite hash URL — a new identifying string. The Tier-1 grep at `tests/uat/harness.test.ts:252` walks `dist/` (the *production* bundle), so a test-only string is correctly out of scope. However, the plan's Step 7 verify (line 559-560) says: `grep -c "synthetic-display-source" dist/ -r 2>/dev/null | grep -v ":0$" | wc -l | awk '$1 == 0 {exit 0} {exit 1}'` (proves zero hits in production dist/). This is correct but the test-bundle situation is not gated. If a future refactor accidentally inlines test-hooks into the production chunk, this filename leak would be the canary — but there's no test for it.

**Remediation:** Iter-2 OR a future plan should consider adding `synthetic-display-source` to a new Tier-2 inventory (test-bundle string blacklist for the production bundle). Not a blocker for Plan 04-08 — it inherits the existing Tier-1 invariant — but worth noting for downstream Plan 04-07 closure aggregator.

---

### cosmetic-advisory

#### advisory 1 — Plan references "Task 3 artifacts" in commit message but only has 2 tasks

**Plan line 702:** "Single atomic commit with all Task 2 + Task 3 artifacts: `feat(04-08): A33 SW state persistence harness assertion — methodology reframe (34/34 GREEN; ROADMAP SC #1 CLOSED)`."

But the plan only defines Task 1 + Task 2 — no Task 3. The commit message text is fine; the in-plan reference is a documentation slip. Cosmetic — does not affect execution.

#### advisory 2 — `architectural integrity preserved` truth references segments.length in must_haves but doesn't grep-pin the invariant in `<verify>`

**Plan line 51:** Truth #11 says `src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 let segments: Blob[] = []` UNCHANGED. The verify block has no explicit gate like `grep -c '^let segments: Blob\[\] = \[\];' src/offscreen/recorder.ts` returns 1. The invariant is asserted but not enforced. Cosmetic because the plan makes no edits to recorder.ts in either task; accidental violation is unlikely.

**Remediation if desired:** Add to Task 1 `<verify>`: `grep -cE 'let segments: Blob\[\] = \[\];' src/offscreen/recorder.ts` ≥ 1.

#### advisory 3 — Plan does not specify what happens to the original `tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm` source

**Plan line 386-388** describes copying `tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm` → `tests/uat/fixtures/synthetic-display-source.webm`. The original file remains in place (`tests/fixtures/` is the historical regression fixture from Plan 01-07). This is correct, but the plan doesn't acknowledge the dual-location situation. Cosmetic.

**Remediation if desired:** Add a one-liner note in Task 1 Step 1: "tests/fixtures/last_30sec.webm remains in place (Plan 01-07 regression fixture; not affected)."

## Recommendation for Orchestrator

**Verdict: ITERATE-NEEDED.**

Spawn planner iter-2 with the following concrete remediation directives:

1. **BLOCKER 1** — resolve the `?url` asset-emission path. Preferred: Option A (probe-then-decide spike) or Option C (Blob URL from `?raw` ArrayBuffer). Document the chosen path in plan + add an explicit `<verify>` gate that the resolved URL is reachable from the offscreen document.
2. **BLOCKER 2** — preserve the eager-install contract. Preferred: Option A (lazy first-frame wait inside fakeGetDisplayMedia closure). Task 1 Step 3 needs a re-draft that splits installFakeDisplayMedia into sync-monkey-patch + lazy-await sub-paths.
3. **WARNING 1** — document the headless autoplay fallback path in Task 1.
4. **WARNING 2** — add a Task 1 read_first + sub-verify for the patchDisplaySurface compatibility check.
5. **WARNING 3** — surface the 3 spike probe-value asserts as explicit grep gates in Task 2 `<verify>`.
6. **WARNING 4** — pre-specify the ROADMAP.md edit and add a grep gate for the flip.
7. Optionally address advisories 1-3 (cosmetic).

**Estimated iter-2 scope:** ~150-300 lines of plan edits (Task 1 Step 3 re-draft + Task 1 verify expansion + Task 2 verify expansion). Single iter-2 cycle should suffice if the planner addresses the BLOCKERs directly.

**Architectural alignment confirmed:** The plan's core thesis (HTMLVideoElement.captureStream bypasses canvas-throttling per debug session-2) is correct. iter-2 is a methodology-tightening pass, not a re-architecture pass.
