# Phase 1 · Plan 01-11 — Puppeteer UAT Harness · Research **Researched:** 2026-05-17 **Domain:** Chrome MV3 E2E testing (Puppeteer 25 + Chrome 148) **Confidence:** HIGH — all critical claims verified by local probes on this machine's Chrome 148.0.7778.167 and a fresh `npm install puppeteer@25.0.2` ## Summary The orchestrator brief lists ten "unknowns." All ten are now resolved, mostly by direct empirical probe against our `dist/` extension bundle. Two findings reshape the plan: 1. **Bug B's `track.stop()`/`ended` parity problem is real and dispositive.** Per W3C spec (cited below) and verified locally: `track.stop()` does **NOT** fire `ended`. A harness that calls `track.stop()` cannot trigger our `onUserStoppedSharing` handler. The workaround is `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))` — verified to fire the listener and leave the track in `readyState: 'live'` (so the harness must also call `track.stop()` separately to release the actual capture). 2. **Modern Chrome + Puppeteer 25 supports MV3 extensions in `--headless=new` AND supports getDisplayMedia in headless.** The "must run headful + Xvfb" premise embedded in the existing `smoke.sh` is outdated. Probes 5 + 11 both succeed in headless mode against our bundle. Everything else (toolbar-click dispatch, SW eval, offscreen-page targeting, notifications.create from a probe) works straightforwardly with the documented `enableExtensions` + `triggerExtensionAction` API. The harness design is mechanically simple; the engineering work is in the 13 assertions and the two-bundle build separation. **Primary recommendation:** Puppeteer 25 + Node `--experimental-vm-modules` or `tsx` runner, `--headless=new` for CI, `headless: false` for local debugging. Two-bundle separation via `vite build --mode test` → `dist-test/`. Hook lives inside the SW guarded by `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` (with a **conditional manifest** that adds the hook script — required because crxjs manifest is static). ## User Constraints (from CONTEXT.md and orchestrator brief) ### Locked Decisions - **Tool:** Puppeteer (over Playwright — lighter for our single-extension scale) - **Hook pattern:** `globalThis.__mokoshTest` captures handler refs registered to `chrome.action.onClicked` / `chrome.runtime.onStartup`; CDP invokes via `sw.evaluate(...)`. Hook code gated on `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` so production bundle tree-shakes it. - **Wave:** 3 (between Plan 01-09 functional closure and Plan 01-10 welcome tab start). - **Scope target:** 13+ assertions covering Plan 01-08/01-09 functional contract. - **Operator role retirement:** operator stops being a functional-gate assertion library; remains for brand/design acceptance. - All Phase 1 D-01…D-19 decisions from `01-CONTEXT.md` (getDisplayMedia in offscreen, ring buffer, ffprobe gate, etc.) remain locked. ### Claude's Discretion - Specific bundle separation mechanism (two configs vs one config with `mode` flag — recommended below) - Whether to introduce a `tsx` runner vs adding a `test:e2e` npm script that invokes node directly - Exact placement of the hook file (e.g. `src/test-hook.ts` imported conditionally) — recommended below - Whether to use raw CDP (`createCDPSession`) or `sw.evaluate` / `page.evaluate` — recommended below: `sw.evaluate` for SW, `asPage().evaluate` for offscreen, raw CDP only where userGesture-tagged is needed (not for our 13 assertions) ### Deferred Ideas (OUT OF SCOPE) - vitest browser mode as alternative path (researched in §4 below; not chosen) - Mocking `chrome.desktopCapture` entirely (we use the real getDisplayMedia with `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source` flag — verified working in headless mode) - Multi-browser support (Firefox, Edge) — Mokosh is Chrome-only per Phase 0 ## Phase 1 Plan 01-11 Requirements | ID | Description | Research Support | |----|-------------|------------------| | REQ-uat-harness-puppeteer | Puppeteer-driven Node script that replays Plan 01-08/01-09 functional contract as automated assertions | §1 (workable launch flags), §2 (SW target shape), §5 (no usable OSS prior art for this exact shape — write from scratch) | | REQ-uat-bug-A-coverage | Test asserts `chrome.notifications.create` succeeds with the manifest-declared iconUrl in the icons/icon48.png form | Probe 4 verified `notifications.create` works from `sw.evaluate` synchronously; icon manifest is readable via `chrome.runtime.getManifest().icons` | | REQ-uat-bug-B-coverage | Test asserts user-stopped-sharing routes to badge OFF + popup '' + no recovery notif (the routing-bug case), NOT the ERROR path | §7 (BLOCKER analysis): cannot use `track.stop()`; must use `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))` from offscreen-page context | | REQ-uat-two-bundle | Production bundle has no test hooks; test bundle adds the synthetic-event hooks | §6 (two-bundle build via `--mode test` + conditional manifest) and §10 (npm scripts) | | REQ-uat-ci-friendly | Harness runs in `--headless=new` for CI; no display required | Probes 5, 11: empirically verified Chrome 148 supports both extension loading and getDisplayMedia in headless | | REQ-uat-13-assertions | At least the 13 assertions listed in the brief are implemented | Per-assertion implementation hints in §11 (planner ready-reference table) | ## Architectural Responsibility Map | Capability | Primary Tier | Secondary | Rationale | |------------|--------------|-----------|-----------| | Launch Chrome with extension | Node script (Puppeteer driver) | — | Driver owns process lifecycle | | Invoke toolbar click | Driver via `page.triggerExtensionAction` | SW eval (fallback) | Documented public API, works empirically | | Read badge / popup state | SW context (`sw.evaluate`) | — | All `chrome.action.get*` APIs callable from SW | | Synthesize `chrome.runtime.onStartup` | SW context (test-hook listener) | — | onStartup only fires on cold browser start; harness invokes via hook reference | | Synthesize "user stopped sharing" | Offscreen page context (`asPage().evaluate`) | — | Must dispatch on the live MediaStreamTrack — only the offscreen DOM has the ref | | Read manifest / icon paths | SW context | Node fs read of `dist-test/manifest.json` | Either path works; SW is closer to runtime truth | | Assert ZIP shape | Node script (jszip in driver) | — | Standard file inspection, no browser involvement | | Assert WebM via ffprobe | Node script (child_process) | — | Inherits from existing smoke.sh; CI runner has ffprobe | | Drive offscreen creation | Driver triggers SW which triggers offscreen | — | Same path as production | ## Standard Stack ### Core | Library | Version | Purpose | Why Standard | |---------|---------|---------|--------------| | `puppeteer` | 25.0.2 | Browser automation + `enableExtensions` + `triggerExtensionAction` | Latest stable, ships the documented MV3 extension API; requires Node ≥22.12.0 [VERIFIED: `npm view puppeteer version` 2026-05-17] | | `tsx` | ^4 | Run TS test scripts without a separate compile step | Standard for one-off Node scripts since 2024; better than `ts-node` for ESM | | `jszip` | already in deps `^3.10.1` | Inspect the generated `session_report_*.zip` | Already used by the extension; reuse parser | ### Supporting | Library | Version | Purpose | When to Use | |---------|---------|---------|-------------| | ffprobe | system binary | WebM validity check on `last_30sec.webm` | Already required by smoke.sh; CI must have it (pre-flight assertion) | | `node:assert/strict` | built-in | Assertions, no extra framework needed | Keeps the harness <500 LoC; we don't need vitest/mocha overhead for 13 deterministic checks | ### Alternatives Considered | Instead of | Could Use | Tradeoff | |------------|-----------|----------| | Puppeteer | Playwright | Playwright has slightly better extension API maturity but adds 200 MB to devDependencies; we've already locked Puppeteer per CONTEXT | | `node:assert/strict` | vitest browser mode | vitest browser mode targets in-browser test execution; we want Node-side orchestration that drives the browser — wrong fit (see §4) | | `tsx` | `tsc && node` two-step | `tsx` is one step; reduces CI friction | **Installation:** ```bash npm install --save-dev puppeteer@^25.0.2 tsx@^4 ``` **Version verification:** `npm view puppeteer version` → `25.0.2`, published per registry on 2026-05 (the engines field requires `node >=22.12.0`; our system has `v24.14.0`, OK).

Production code path is identical; tests get an out-of-band reference they can call directly. **When to use:** every event source whose dispatch we can't otherwise trigger from a test driver (onStartup primarily — onClicked is reachable via `triggerExtensionAction`, but having the handler ref is useful for the "badge OFF on user-stopped-sharing" assertion). **Example:** ```typescript // src/test-hooks/sw-hooks.ts // IMPORTED FROM src/background/index.ts under: // if (import.meta.env.MODE === 'test') { await import('../test-hooks/sw-hooks'); } // Vite tree-shakes the import entirely when MODE !== 'test' [VERIFIED: Vite docs // on env-and-mode + define] const handlers = { onClicked: null as null | ((tab: chrome.tabs.Tab) => void), onStartup: null as null | (() => void), notificationOnClicked: null as null | ((id: string) => void), }; const origActionAdd = chrome.action.onClicked.addListener.bind(chrome.action.onClicked); chrome.action.onClicked.addListener = (cb) => { handlers.onClicked = cb; origActionAdd(cb); }; const origStartupAdd = chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener.bind(chrome.runtime.onStartup); chrome.runtime.onStartup.addListener = (cb) => { handlers.onStartup = cb; origStartupAdd(cb); }; const origNotifAdd = chrome.notifications.onClicked.addListener.bind(chrome.notifications.onClicked); chrome.notifications.onClicked.addListener = (cb) => { handlers.notificationOnClicked = cb; origNotifAdd(cb); }; globalThis.__mokoshTest = { handlers }; ``` ### Pattern 2: Reading SW state from the harness ```typescript const [_, ext] = [...(await browser.extensions())][0]; const swTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(t => t.type() === 'service_worker'); const sw = await swTarget.worker(); const badge = await sw.evaluate(() => chrome.action.getBadgeText({})); // All chrome.action / chrome.notifications / chrome.runtime APIs are reachable // VERIFIED: probe2 + probe4 ``` ### Pattern 3: Driving onClicked via the real path ```typescript // MV3 contract: chrome.action.onClicked DOES NOT fire when default_popup is set // VERIFIED: probe3 — clearing popup yields 1 dispatch; restoring popup yields 0 // Plan 01-09 already implements setPopup({popup:''}) when idle, so production code // is the one driving the popup state. Harness drives the click via the public API: await page.triggerExtensionAction(ext); // requires a non-null page arg per probe2 ``` ### Pattern 4: Attaching to the offscreen page ```typescript // Offscreen doc shows up as target type 'background_page' (not 'page' — quirk // confirmed by probe8/9). Use .asPage(), not .page(): const off = browser.targets().find(t => t.type() === 'background_page' && t.url().includes('offscreen')); const offPage = await off.asPage(); // VERIFIED: probe9 — returns a real Page const ds = await offPage.evaluate(() => globalThis.__mokoshTest.getCurrentStream().getVideoTracks()[0].getSettings().displaySurface ); ``` ### Pattern 5: Synthetic user-stopped-sharing (Bug B harness) ```typescript // CRITICAL: track.stop() does NOT fire 'ended' per W3C spec [VERIFIED: probe7, // MDN cite below]. The ONLY way to trigger our production // onUserStoppedSharing handler from a test driver is dispatchEvent. await offPage.evaluate(() => { const t = globalThis.__mokoshTest.getCurrentStream().getVideoTracks()[0]; t.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended')); // Track is still in readyState 'live' after dispatch; the production // handler will call stream.getTracks().forEach(t => t.stop()) which DOES // release the capture (just doesn't refire 'ended' because, again, spec). }); ``` ### Anti-Patterns to Avoid - **Do NOT call `track.stop()` to simulate Bug B.** It will not fire the handler. The harness will report PASS when production reality is FAIL. This is the single most dangerous trap in this work. - **Do NOT rely on `page.evaluate('chrome.action.openPopup()')` for the SAVE flow assertion.** `openPopup` requires user activation in MV3; even with Puppeteer's default userGesture flag the API has been flaky historically. Drive via `triggerExtensionAction` which goes through the real toolbar path. - **Do NOT assume the offscreen page exists at launch.** It is created on-demand by the SW. Tests must trigger the SW path that calls `chrome.offscreen.createDocument` first, then wait for the `background_page` target. ## Don't Hand-Roll | Problem | Don't Build | Use Instead | Why | |---------|-------------|-------------|-----| | Extension loading in Chrome | Custom `--load-extension` flag | `puppeteer.launch({ enableExtensions: [...] })` | `--load-extension` is removed from branded Chrome 137+; Puppeteer passes `--enable-unsafe-extension-debugging` automatically [CITED: developer.chrome.com extension-news-june-2025] | | Finding the SW target | Polling `browser.pages()` | `browser.waitForTarget(t => t.type() === 'service_worker')` | Documented, supports a timeout option, race-free | | Invoking toolbar click | DOM clicks on chrome:// URLs (impossible) | `page.triggerExtensionAction(extension)` | Ships in Puppeteer 25, replaces the decade-old "you can't click extension buttons" hack landscape [CITED: PR #14821] | | User-stopped-sharing simulation | Custom MediaStreamTrack subclass | `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))` | Spec-compliant; works on a real live track; minimum-surface change | | Two-bundle separation | Manual file copy | `vite build --mode test` with separate `vite.test.config.ts` | Vite's built-in mode mechanism; predictable tree-shaking [CITED: vite.dev/guide/env-and-mode] | ## Per-Area Findings ### 1. Puppeteer extension testing quirks **Findings:** - Issue #2486 ("Ability to click browser action buttons", opened 2018) is **CLOSED** and resolved upstream. The fix is `page.triggerExtensionAction()`, added via PR #14821 (commit `d6395ef`, merged into Puppeteer 22.x line as experimental API; ratified to stable shape in 24.x; documented as the recommended path in the current pptr.dev/guides/chrome-extensions). Cite: https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/issues/2486, https://github.com/puppeteer/puppeteer/commit/d6395ef88103a50cb2b2c43f61953ab6a495a8c3 - Issue #8987 (mentioned in brief): could not find this exact issue number in the puppeteer repo. May be a transposition from another repo. The documented limitation — that `chrome.action.onClicked` does not fire when `default_popup` is set in manifest — is a MV3 spec contract, not a Puppeteer bug. [VERIFIED: probe3 — empirically reproduced both cases.] - Puppeteer 25.0.2 (current latest) handles MV3 extensions cleanly: - `enableExtensions: ['/abs/path/to/dist']` at launch (also accepts `true` to allow runtime install via `browser.installExtension(path)`) - `browser.extensions()` returns `Map` with `.id`, `.name`, `.version`, `.pages()`, `.workers()` - `page.triggerExtensionAction(ext)` simulates toolbar click **Critical MV3 contract**: per the Chrome docs (cited verbatim in the search result above), *"The action.onClicked event won't be sent if the extension action has specified a popup to show on click of the current tab."* Probe3 confirmed: `setPopup({popup:''})` → click → onClicked fires; `setPopup({popup:'src/popup/index.html'})` → click → popup opens, NO onClicked dispatch. Our plan-01-09 code already toggles popup state based on `isRecording` (this is the source of the routing this plan is testing). **Recommendation:** Use `page.triggerExtensionAction(ext)` as the primary click path. For assertions that need to bypass the popup gate (e.g., the ERROR-path direct test), call the captured handler ref via `sw.evaluate(() => __mokoshTest.handlers.onClicked({}))`. ### 2. CDP attach to MV3 SW contexts **Findings:** - `browser.targets().filter(t => t.type() === 'service_worker')` is the documented and only-tested path; works on Puppeteer 22+ across all MV3 SW shapes (verified probe1, probe2, probe5). - The SW target URL is **`service-worker-loader.js`**, not the path you'd expect from `manifest.json` (`src/background/index.ts`). This is crxjs's loader wrapper — the wrapper imports the real bundle. **Implication:** filter on `t.type() === 'service_worker'` only, NOT on URL suffix. - SW lifecycle in Puppeteer-driven Chrome: per Chrome docs (cited: developer.chrome.com/blog/longer-esw-lifetimes), MV3 SWs terminate after 30 s of inactivity. Per the same blog, opening DevTools keeps SWs alive. Per ChromeDriver-based testing libraries' empirical experience (cited: https://developer.chrome.com/blog/eyeos-journey...): *"Service workers never terminate if the developer tools are open or you are using a ChromeDriver based testing library."* - **However**, this last claim could not be verified for Puppeteer-CDP specifically. The probes ran fast enough (<5s) that 30s idle wasn't relevant. - **Defensive design:** between assertions, run a `sw.evaluate(() => chrome.runtime.getPlatformInfo())` "keepalive" call. Every async chrome.* API call resets the 30s timer (Chrome 110+ behavior, cited). - Cold-start: probes always saw the SW target within ~1.5s of `puppeteer.launch`. The `waitForTarget` API with a timeout makes this race-free. **Recommendation:** Standard `waitForTarget` + `target.worker()`. Add a 2-second keepalive ping (`chrome.runtime.getPlatformInfo()`) between assertions if the harness runtime exceeds ~25s. ### 3. Chrome `--headless=new` + extensions **EMPIRICALLY VERIFIED on this machine (Chrome 148.0.7778.167, Puppeteer 25):** - ✅ MV3 extension loads in `--headless=new` (probe5) - ✅ SW eval works in headless (probe5) - ✅ `getDisplayMedia({ video: { displaySurface: 'monitor' } })` returns a real stream in headless (probe11). The returned dimensions are 800×600 — that's Chrome's default headless surface size (configurable via `--window-size=W,H` or `defaultViewport` in puppeteer.launch). - ✅ `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen"` works in headless (probe11) This contradicts older claims (Issue puppeteer/puppeteer#4404, mrd0x post) that screen capture requires headful + Xvfb. Those claims predate `--headless=new` (Chrome 109+ "true headless") which is now Puppeteer's default. The legacy `--headless=old` (now removed in Chrome ≥132) DID have this limitation. Issue Chromium 40176215 ("Headless must support getDisplayMedia") could not be read (auth-required page), but the empirical result on Chrome 148 implies it is resolved or sufficiently worked-around. **Recommendation:** Run CI in `--headless=new` (Puppeteer's `headless: true` default in v22+). Local dev mode `headless: false` for debugging. **No Xvfb required.** Document this as a phase-level decision. ### 4. vitest browser mode as alternative path **Findings:** - vitest 4 browser mode runs tests INSIDE the browser (uses Playwright under the hood). The test file becomes a page in the browser. - This is the wrong direction for us: we need a Node-side driver that attaches to a Chrome process running our extension. vitest browser mode runs the test as a page; the test page has no access to extension SW or cross-context fixtures. - No prior art found for MV3 extension E2E on vitest browser mode (search returned only generic browser-mode guides). - Pulling in Playwright transitively defeats the "Puppeteer is lighter" rationale. **Recommendation:** Skip vitest browser mode. Continue using vitest for unit tests; add the UAT harness as a separate Node script (`tests/uat/`) invoked from a new `npm run test:uat` script. Keep them disjoint so the vitest unit suite stays fast. ### 5. Prior art from OSS MV3 extensions **Findings (most data harder to extract because GitHub pages render asymmetrically; the e2e directories required deeper drill-down than was practical in this research budget):** - **MetaMask** (`MetaMask/metamask-extension`): **Mocha + Selenium**. Their e2e/ subdirectory contains `.mocharc.js`, Page Object Model, fixtures, custom reporters, parallel run-all.mts. Not Puppeteer. Setup: `test/env.js` + `test/setup.js` required globally. Sequential by default. Uses Mocha's recursive discovery. Browser launch is via SELENIUM_BROWSER env var; Xvfb-on-CI assumed. [CITED: GitHub repo listing 2026-05] - **Bitwarden** (`bitwarden/clients`): GitHub repo too large to scrape via WebFetch. From general community knowledge: Bitwarden uses Jest unit tests + manual e2e historically. Not relevant. - **dappeteer** (Decentraland/ChainSafe/multiple forks): legacy MV2-era Puppeteer wrapper for MetaMask. Now deprecated. Synpress (Cypress-based) is the modern path for crypto-wallet extension testing — out of scope. - **Koweb3test** (referenced in search): explicitly says *"Tests work only in headed mode because extensions are not supported in headless mode in puppeteer and Cypress, and it's intended to be used in conjunction with xvfb on CI."* This is **stale**; verified above that Chrome 148 + Puppeteer 25 supports extensions in headless. The koweb3test claim was true historically but no longer holds. - **Vimium, uBlock Origin**: did not find published e2e harnesses with Puppeteer in available time. **Recommendation:** No OSS code can be lifted wholesale. The closest structural analogue is MetaMask's POM + helper-library split. Adopt that shape (split into `lib/` files) but skip Mocha — `node:test` or plain `tsx` script is enough for 13 deterministic assertions. ### 6. crxjs + Vite `import.meta.env.MODE` tree-shaking **Findings:** - Vite **does** statically replace `import.meta.env.MODE` at build time with a string literal when invoked via `vite build --mode `. Rollup (Vite's underlying bundler) then dead-code-eliminates the unreachable branch. [CITED: vite.dev/guide/env-and-mode + vitejs/vite#15256.] - **Caveat:** Tree-shaking fails *if the variable is undefined* in env. But `MODE` is always defined (defaults to `'production'` for `vite build` and `'development'` for `vite`). Safe for our `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` guard. - crxjs (current 2.4.0): no explicit changelog entries about MODE handling. Issue #831 (closed) was about custom env vars in dev mode not being populated in the SW, NOT about MODE / DEV / PROD which were stated to always be populated. Our use case (MODE-based gating in `vite build --mode test`) is on the always-works path. - **Critical verification step we OWE the planner:** build BOTH bundles and grep `dist/service-worker-loader.js` (and the bundled background chunk) for any string from the test hook (e.g. `__mokoshTest`). If the production bundle contains it, our gate didn't tree-shake. This is a Wave 0 gate. **Recommendation:** Use `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` as the guard. Confirm in plan with explicit grep step on built artifact (`! grep -q __mokoshTest dist/...`). Use **dynamic import** (`await import('...')`) inside the guard so the test-hook MODULE itself is tree-shaken from production, not just the call: ```typescript // src/background/index.ts if (import.meta.env.MODE === 'test') { await import('../test-hooks/sw-hooks'); } ``` ### 7. MediaStreamTrack `track.stop()` vs Chrome "Stop sharing" button event parity **THIS IS THE BLOCKER.** **Findings (W3C spec + MDN + empirical):** - W3C Media Capture and Streams spec, `MediaStreamTrack.stop()` algorithm: *"When a MediaStreamTrack track ends for any reason other than the stop() method being invoked, the user agent MUST queue a task that sets the track's readyState to ended and fire a simple event named ended at the object."* (Cite: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-main/#mediastreamtrack) - MDN (authoritative, with W3C link): *"The only case where the track ends but the ended event is not fired is when calling MediaStreamTrack.stop."* (Cite: https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/MediaStreamTrack/ended_event) - **Empirical confirmation in Chrome 148 (probe7):** - `track.stop()` → `endedFired: 0`, `readyState: 'ended'` - `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))` → `endedFired: 1`, `readyState: 'live'` - Our offscreen handler `onUserStoppedSharing` at `src/offscreen/recorder.ts:451-480` is registered as `track.addEventListener('ended', onUserStoppedSharing, { once: true })` (line 275). It is a pure event listener — it does not inspect any property to discriminate stop() vs source-ended; it fires whenever the event fires. **Implication for the harness:** - The Bug B assertion ("user stopped sharing → badge OFF, NOT recovery notif") MUST use `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))` from the offscreen page context, not `track.stop()`. - Because dispatchEvent leaves the track in `readyState: 'live'`, the production `onUserStoppedSharing` handler proceeds normally: it calls `stream.getTracks().forEach(t => t.stop())` which DOES release the actual capture (since stop() doesn't refire 'ended' on the same track, and the `{ once: true }` listener removed itself after the synthetic dispatch). - The harness must wait briefly after dispatch (~200ms) for the SW-side state change (badge OFF, popup '', isRecording=false) to propagate before asserting. **Without this workaround, the Bug B harness check is INVALID.** It would never trigger the handler under test; the assertion would pass (no error notification fires because no handler ran at all) while production reality would also pass for the wrong reason — the test would have zero diagnostic value. WORSE: a bug that REINTRODUCED the v2 bug (routing user-stopped to ERROR notification) would still pass this harness check, defeating the entire purpose. **Recommendation:** Plan MUST include an inline code comment + ADR-class note at the dispatchEvent call site explaining WHY it's not stop(). Wave 0 must include a unit-level verification that the dispatched event triggers our handler (e.g., a vitest test that constructs a stub stream and asserts the handler fires). Belt + suspenders. ### 8. getDisplayMedia user-activation propagation via CDP **Findings:** - W3C spec requires *"transient user activation"* for getDisplayMedia (cite: https://w3c.github.io/mediacapture-screen-share/#dom-mediadevices-getdisplaymedia). - Chrome implementation accepts CDP-synthesized userGesture by default. Puppeteer's `page.evaluate` passes `userGesture: true` to `Runtime.evaluate` — has done so since pre-22 (cited in Puppeteer ExecutionContext.ts source). - **Empirically (probe10):** both `page.evaluate(getDisplayMedia)` and raw CDP `Runtime.evaluate { userGesture: true }` succeeded against the offscreen page. We do not need the workaround of "inject the call into a real click event handler in offscreen DOM." - **Caveat:** older Puppeteer issues (#13478) report crashes when closing pages with active media streams. Mitigation: explicitly call `stream.getTracks().forEach(t => t.stop())` before `browser.close()`. Our existing teardown paths already do this — harness must also do it on its own probe streams. **Recommendation:** No special handling needed. The production getDisplayMedia path runs unchanged in the test harness. Just ensure clean teardown. ### 9. `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source` reliability **Findings:** - Flag is **locale-specific** (well known; smoke.sh already documents this). English builds use `"Entire screen"`; Russian `"Весь экран"`. - Verified in probe10 + probe11 working with `="Entire screen"` on this machine's en_US Chrome 148. - **Headless gotcha:** when running `--headless=new`, the picker UI never actually surfaces (no display), but the flag still pre-selects the source server-side. getDisplayMedia returns immediately. Confirmed probe11. - Conflict: `--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream` + `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source` → Chrome ignores the auto-select. Do not combine. (Cite: groups.google.com/g/discuss-webrtc/c/t0u6aVBfCgU.) - Newer flag `--auto-accept-this-tab-capture` exists for `getDisplayMedia({ preferCurrentTab: true })` flow but is irrelevant to us (we use `displaySurface: 'monitor'`). **Recommendation:** Pass `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen"` in the harness Chrome args. Do NOT add `--use-fake-ui-for-media-stream`. For CI portability across locales, document that test runners must use en_US locale (LANG/LC_ALL env) or override with the locale-correct string. This matches the constraint already in production smoke.sh. ### 10. Two-bundle separation orchestration **Findings:** - crxjs uses a static `manifest.json` (imported in `vite.config.ts`). Conditional content cannot be expressed through MODE alone inside that static object. - Workaround: TWO vite configs. `vite.test.config.ts` extends prod and swaps `outDir` + adds any test-specific manifest fields. Crxjs supports this — the manifest is just imported JS data; you can pre-process it per config file. - Alternative: ONE vite config that reads `process.env.npm_lifecycle_event` (set to `'build:test'` when invoked via `npm run build:test`) and branches. Simpler but couples build logic to npm script names. NOT recommended. - Path: `dist/` for prod, `dist-test/` for test. The harness's `enableExtensions` arg points to `dist-test/`. **Recommended package.json changes:** ```jsonc { "scripts": { "dev": "vite", "build": "tsc && vite build", "build:test": "tsc && vite build --mode test --config vite.test.config.ts", "preview": "vite preview", "test": "vitest run", "test:uat": "npm run build:test && tsx tests/uat/harness.test.ts" } } ``` **Recommended `vite.test.config.ts`:** ```typescript import { defineConfig, mergeConfig } from 'vite'; import baseConfig from './vite.config'; export default defineConfig((env) => mergeConfig(baseConfig, { mode: 'test', build: { outDir: 'dist-test', emptyOutDir: true }, }) ); ``` The `mode: 'test'` plus the CLI `--mode test` flag together ensure `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` resolves to `true` at build time and the test-hook branch survives. **Recommendation:** Two configs, two outputs, hook gated via `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'` + dynamic import. Wave 0 grep verification that production `dist/` has zero `__mokoshTest` strings. ## Common Pitfalls ### Pitfall 1: Wrong target type for offscreen **What:** Looking for `t.type() === 'page'` on the offscreen doc; it's actually `'background_page'`. **Why:** Chrome internally classifies extension offscreen documents under the legacy background_page type tag. **Avoid:** Filter `t.type() === 'background_page' && t.url().includes('offscreen')`. Use `.asPage()` not `.page()`. ### Pitfall 2: track.stop() doesn't fire 'ended' **What:** Harness "simulates user-stopped" by calling track.stop(). Test passes silently. Production handler never ran. (See §7.) **Avoid:** Use `track.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended'))`. ### Pitfall 3: onClicked doesn't fire when popup is set **What:** triggerExtensionAction succeeds but our SW handler doesn't fire. **Why:** MV3 spec: popup wins over onClicked. Plan 01-09 toggles `setPopup({popup:''})` based on isRecording, so the harness must respect this state machine and only trigger toolbar clicks when popup is cleared (idle state) — OR call the captured handler ref directly via the hook. **Avoid:** Read popup state first; click only when popup is `""`. For "click during recording" assertion (popup opens, NO new picker), assert on popup state and on absence of new mediaStream, not on handler invocation. ### Pitfall 4: Production bundle contains test hooks **What:** Tree-shaking didn't strip the hook. Production ships with `__mokoshTest` exposed. **Why:** Vite tree-shaking only works on statically resolvable conditions. A dynamic env read (process.env.X) won't shake. **Avoid:** Use the literal `import.meta.env.MODE === 'test'`. Verify with `grep -q __mokoshTest dist/**` in build script. ### Pitfall 5: SW dies mid-test **What:** Harness runs for 40+ seconds without touching the SW; SW unloads; next `sw.evaluate` errors. **Why:** 30s idle rule (Chrome 110+); reset by chrome.* API calls. **Avoid:** Keepalive helper that pings `chrome.runtime.getPlatformInfo()` every 20s during long sequences. Most assertions touch chrome.* APIs anyway so this is mostly defensive. ### Pitfall 6: --load-extension flag (deprecated) **What:** Copying patterns from old blog posts that use `puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--load-extension=' + path] })`. **Why:** Removed in Chrome 137 branded builds (cite: developer.chrome.com/blog/extension-news-june-2025). Puppeteer's `enableExtensions` arg replaces it and passes the necessary `--enable-unsafe-extension-debugging` automatically. **Avoid:** Use `enableExtensions: ['/abs/path/to/dist-test']`. Period. ### Pitfall 7: Locale-dependent --auto-select-desktop-capture-source **What:** Test runs on a Russian-locale CI runner; "Entire screen" doesn't match; getDisplayMedia hangs at picker. **Avoid:** Document required locale in CI script; OR explicitly set `LC_ALL=en_US.UTF-8` in the harness child_process env. ## Code Examples ### Minimal working harness skeleton (top-of-file imports + setup) ```typescript // tests/uat/harness.test.ts // Run with: npm run build:test && tsx tests/uat/harness.test.ts import { strict as assert } from 'node:assert'; import puppeteer, { Browser, Extension, Page } from 'puppeteer'; import path from 'node:path'; import { fileURLToPath } from 'node:url'; const __dirname = path.dirname(fileURLToPath(import.meta.url)); const distTest = path.resolve(__dirname, '../../dist-test'); const browser: Browser = await puppeteer.launch({ pipe: true, enableExtensions: [distTest], headless: process.env.CI ? true : false, args: [ '--no-sandbox', '--auto-select-desktop-capture-source=Entire screen', ], }); const exts = await browser.extensions(); const [extId, ext] = [...exts][0]; const swTarget = await browser.waitForTarget(t => t.type() === 'service_worker', { timeout: 10_000 }); const sw = await swTarget.worker(); const page = await browser.newPage(); await page.goto('about:blank'); console.log(`harness: extId=${extId}`); // VERIFIED PATH: triggerExtensionAction routes to onClicked when popup is '' await sw.evaluate(() => chrome.action.setPopup({ popup: '' })); await page.triggerExtensionAction(ext); // ... wait briefly for offscreen + getDisplayMedia ... await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 2000)); const badge = await sw.evaluate(() => chrome.action.getBadgeText({})); assert.equal(badge, 'REC', 'badge should read REC after toolbar click in idle'); // ... 12 more assertions ... await browser.close(); console.log('UAT harness: 13/13 assertions passed'); ``` ### Synthetic chrome.notifications + iconUrl assertion (Bug A) ```typescript // Bug A: chrome.notifications.create rejects manifest URL paths in some Chrome // builds when icon dimensions don't meet floor. We test that production code // uses a known-valid path AND that the create() call succeeds. // Method A: capture the actual notification options Production sends, via // the SW test-hook (wrap chrome.notifications.create at hook init time). // Method B: re-issue the same create() options ourselves and assert success. // Plan should use Method A for fidelity. const notifSnapshot = await sw.evaluate(() => globalThis.__mokoshTest.lastNotificationOptions); assert.ok(notifSnapshot, 'production code must have called notifications.create'); assert.match(notifSnapshot.iconUrl, /icons\/icon48\.png$/, 'must use 48px iconUrl'); // Verify the file actually exists in the bundle const iconBytes = await sw.evaluate(async () => { const r = await fetch(chrome.runtime.getURL('icons/icon48.png')); return r.ok ? r.headers.get('content-length') : null; }); assert.ok(iconBytes && parseInt(iconBytes) > 100, 'icon48.png must exist in bundle'); ``` ### Bug B assertion (user-stopped routes to OFF, not ERROR) ```typescript const off = browser.targets().find(t => t.type() === 'background_page' && t.url().includes('offscreen')); assert.ok(off, 'offscreen must exist (recording in progress)'); const offPage = await off.asPage(); // Snapshot notification side-effects before the synthetic event const before = await sw.evaluate(() => globalThis.__mokoshTest.notificationCount); // CRITICAL: dispatchEvent, NOT track.stop() — see RESEARCH §7 await offPage.evaluate(() => { const t = globalThis.__mokoshTest.getCurrentStream().getVideoTracks()[0]; t.dispatchEvent(new Event('ended')); }); // Wait for SW-side state transition (the offscreen handler posts a // runtime message → SW handler updates badge + clears popup) await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, 300)); const badgeAfter = await sw.evaluate(() => chrome.action.getBadgeText({})); const popupAfter = await sw.evaluate(() => chrome.action.getPopup({})); const after = await sw.evaluate(() => globalThis.__mokoshTest.notificationCount); assert.equal(badgeAfter, '', 'badge must be OFF after user-stopped'); assert.equal(popupAfter, '', 'popup must be cleared (back to idle)'); assert.equal(after, before, 'no new notification — user-stop is NOT an error'); ``` ## State of the Art | Old Approach | Current Approach | When Changed | Impact | |--------------|------------------|--------------|--------| | `--load-extension` flag | `enableExtensions: [path]` option | Chrome 137 (mid-2025) | Old code stops working on branded Chrome; Puppeteer's option auto-passes the right new flags | | Headful + Xvfb for extension testing | `--headless=new` works | Chrome 109+, fully shipped by ~Chrome 120; Puppeteer 22+ default | Cuts CI infrastructure: no display server needed | | `target.page()` for any non-page target returns null | `target.asPage()` returns a Page wrapper for `background_page` | Puppeteer 22+ | Lets us evaluate JS inside the offscreen document with the high-level Page API | | `chrome.action.onClicked` clickable via DOM hacks | `page.triggerExtensionAction(ext)` | Puppeteer 22+ (commit d6395ef) | Issue #2486 resolved upstream; no more workaround folklore | **Deprecated/outdated:** - `puppeteer.launch({ args: ['--load-extension=...'] })` — superseded by `enableExtensions` - `dappeteer` — deprecated by upstream maintainers; Synpress is the modern replacement - The claim "Puppeteer can't load extensions in headless" (still widely echoed in blog posts) — verified false on current Chrome/Puppeteer ## Assumptions Log | # | Claim | Section | Risk if Wrong | |---|-------|---------|---------------| | A1 | Issue puppeteer#8987 is a typo and doesn't refer to a specific limit on onClicked dispatch | §1 | LOW — the MV3 popup-vs-onClicked contract is the real constraint, verified by probe3 | | A2 | ChromeDriver's "SW never terminates" claim extends to Puppeteer-CDP-attached SWs | §2 | LOW — defensive keepalive ping covers either case; the 30s idle rule resets on any chrome.* call | | A3 | crxjs 2.4.0 passes through Vite's MODE-conditional tree-shaking without interference for dynamic-imported test-hook modules | §6 | MEDIUM — must be verified in Wave 0 with explicit grep on built artifact. If wrong, plan must switch to two separate manifests or a build-time substitution plugin | | A4 | Production `onUserStoppedSharing` will treat a dispatchEvent-fired 'ended' identically to a real source-ended event | §7 | LOW — the handler is a pure event listener; it doesn't read `event.isTrusted` or any property; only the firing matters [VERIFIED by code read of `src/offscreen/recorder.ts:451-480`] | | A5 | Chrome 148+ Puppeteer behavior is stable across at least the next 6 months of Chrome releases | §3 | MEDIUM — Chrome's headless mode is generally stable post-109, but Chromium issue 40176215 was unreadable. If a future Chrome regresses headless screen capture, fall back to headful + Xvfb (smoke.sh already documents this path) | | A6 | The harness can rely on `--auto-select-desktop-capture-source="Entire screen"` working in CI runners' default locale (en_US) | §9 | LOW — most CI defaults to en_US; doc'd how to override if not | ## Open Questions for the Planner 1. **Where exactly does the `simulateUserStop` shim live?** - Recommended: `src/test-hooks/offscreen-hooks.ts` imported conditionally from `src/offscreen/recorder.ts` after `mediaStream` is assigned. The hook reads `mediaStream` via a getter exposed at module load time: `const __sharedRefs = { get currentStream() { return mediaStream; } }`. Planner decides exact integration. 2. **Should the harness assert on the exact NUMBER of notifications, or set-membership?** - Bug A and onStartup notification fire once each; recovery notification fires on RECORDING_ERROR. Counting is brittle if the SW retries. Set-membership (asserting on the *types* of notifications) is more robust. Planner decides UX. 3. **CI tool: GitHub Actions matrix? Or standalone shell?** - Out of scope for THIS plan if there's no existing CI infrastructure. The harness should be a single `npm run test:uat` invocation that works locally; CI plumbing can be a separate plan. 4. **Failure isolation: do we kill Chrome between assertions, or keep one long-running browser instance?** - Recommended: one browser, serial assertions (faster, fewer flakes from extension reload races). If an assertion fails mid-sequence, abort and dump SW + offscreen console logs. Planner decides whether to add retries or full-restart isolation. 5. **What's the contract for the test-hook surface?** - `globalThis.__mokoshTest` shape needs to be declared as a TS type so both the SW side (registers) and the harness side (reads) agree. Place in `tests/uat/lib/test-hook-contract.d.ts`? Or `src/test-hooks/types.ts`? Both — planner decides if it's worth the duplication or a shared dir. ## Environment Availability | Dependency | Required By | Available | Version | Fallback | |------------|------------|-----------|---------|----------| | Node.js | Puppeteer 25 requires ≥22.12 | ✓ | v24.14.0 | — | | google-chrome-stable | Puppeteer auto-fetch backup if missing | ✓ | 148.0.7778.167 | Puppeteer downloads its own Chrome for Testing if missing | | ffprobe | WebM validity assertion | ✓ | 8.1.1 | — | | `unzip` (or jszip in-process) | ZIP shape assertion | ✓ via jszip already in deps | — | — | | Xvfb | Not required — headless mode supports getDisplayMedia | not installed | — | Optional; only needed if a future Chrome regresses headless capture | **Missing dependencies with no fallback:** none. **Missing dependencies with fallback:** Xvfb (defensive only). ## Validation Architecture **TDD mode is ON.** Each of the 13+ harness assertions is itself a test. The planner should structure Wave 0 to build the harness skeleton with stubs for all 13 assertions (initially failing), then Wave 1 to wire each assertion in turn (red → green per assertion). ### Test Framework | Property | Value | |----------|-------| | Framework | `node:test` (built-in) OR plain `node:assert/strict` script — no extra dep | | Config file | none (harness is a single script) | | Quick run command | `npm run test:uat` (orchestrates build:test + harness) | | Full suite command | same | ### Phase Requirements → Test Map The planner's 13 assertions map 1:1 to the brief's list: | Req | Behavior | Method | |-----|----------|--------| | 1 | SW bootstrap → idle | sw.evaluate badge text == '', popup == '' | | 2 | onClicked-idle → REC | trigger click → wait → assert badge 'REC' + popup set | | 3 | displaySurface monitor | offscreenPage.evaluate `__mokoshTest.getCurrentStream().getVideoTracks()[0].getSettings().displaySurface == 'monitor'` | | 4 | click during recording → popup opens | trigger click → assert popup state, NO new offscreen target spawned | | 5 | SAVE_ARCHIVE → download | sw.evaluate sendMessage SAVE → wait → check Downloads dir | | 6 | user-stopped routes to OFF | offscreenPage.evaluate dispatchEvent → assert no error notif + badge '' | | 7 | RECORDING_ERROR codec → ERR badge + notif | sw.evaluate sendMessage RECORDING_ERROR → assert badge 'ERR' + notif fired | | 8 | onStartup → notification with iconUrl | sw.evaluate `__mokoshTest.handlers.onStartup()` → assert notification create succeeded | | 9 | icon files present | sw.evaluate fetch icon URLs → assert HTTP 200 + size > floor | | 10 | Manifest declares notifications + icons | sw.evaluate `chrome.runtime.getManifest()` → assert permissions + icons | | 11 | Buffer ≥3 segments after 35s | sw.evaluate query offscreen state (via runtime message) | | 12 | Remux passes ffprobe | spawn `ffprobe -v error -f matroska -i `, exit 0 | | 13 | Zip shape | jszip parse → assert `video/last_30sec.webm` + `meta.json` keys | ### Sampling Rate - **Per task commit:** `npm test` (vitest unit) — fast (~5s) - **Per wave merge:** `npm run test:uat` (full harness ~60s) - **Phase gate:** harness green + smoke.sh still passes for operator brand check ### Wave 0 Gaps - [ ] `vite.test.config.ts` — does not exist - [ ] `tests/uat/harness.test.ts` — does not exist (skeleton with 13 failing assertions) - [ ] `tests/uat/lib/*.ts` — helper modules - [ ] `src/test-hooks/sw-hooks.ts` + `offscreen-hooks.ts` — does not exist - [ ] `package.json` — add `puppeteer` + `tsx` devDeps + `test:uat` script - [ ] Grep check in build:test to fail loudly if production bundle contains `__mokoshTest` ## Security Domain | ASVS Category | Applies | Standard Control | |---------------|---------|-----------------| | V2 Authentication | no | n/a (test harness only) | | V5 Input Validation | no | n/a | | V14 Configuration | yes | Test hook MUST NOT ship in production bundle — Wave 0 grep gate enforces | | Pattern | STRIDE | Standard Mitigation | |---------|--------|---------------------| | Test hook leaks into production → attacker invokes `__mokoshTest.simulateUserStop` from arbitrary page | Tampering/Elevation of Privilege | Build-time tree-shake gate + post-build grep verification | ## Sources ### Primary (HIGH confidence — empirically verified in this session) -
