Plan 04-04 Wave 0 SPIKE empirically tested whether this RAM-only design survives a 5-min SW idle + Puppeteer CDP worker.close() — outcome below. phase provides 03-spec-10-smoke-verification-dom-event-log-verification Plan 03-01/03-02/03-03 cs-injection-world + harness-internal SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch pattern (chrome.runtime.sendMessage from harness-page realm). Plan 04-04 spike reuses this dispatch pattern verbatim per REVISION iter-2 Option B (no new __mokoshHarness method). plan provides 04-01 audit P1 polish baseline (vitest 180 → preserved at 183 by Plan 04-02 + Plan 04-03). plan provides 04-02 Tier-1 FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory at 12 entries; SW chunk `new Function`=0 + `eval`=0 baseline. Plan 04-04 made zero source-code changes so all bundle gates remain unchanged from Plan 04-02 polarity. plan provides 04-03 A29 strict-sentinel flake closure; UAT harness 33/33 GREEN baseline; vitest 183/183 GREEN baseline (subject to documented pre-existing flakes when run in parallel — see Issues Encountered below). Plan 04-04 preserves both baselines because Task 2 (which would have flipped UAT 33→34) is BLOCKED by the spike outcome.	Empirical evidence (one full HEADLESS=1 spike run; reproducible script committed) that the current offscreen-document `segments: Blob[] = []` RAM-only architecture does NOT survive 5 minutes of SW idle followed by Puppeteer CDP `worker.close()`. videoSize after SAVE = 8505 bytes vs the 100 KB sanity floor (typical healthy 30s archive = 1-3 MB). The 8505 bytes are corrupt WebM (ffprobe: 'End of file' + 'Duplicate element' errors with no valid clusters); rrweb/session.json = []; logs/events.json = []; meta.urls = chrome-extension://* only (real-page URLs lost). REFUTES the RESEARCH Q2 MEDIUM-confidence hypothesis (A3) that the offscreen has an independent lifecycle anchored by active MediaRecorder. stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId) helper at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts (verbatim Chrome devrel canonical pattern; Puppeteer >=22.1.0; project pin ^25 OK). Future plan-fix work (IndexedDB persistence) reuses this helper to verify whatever persistence layer it adds actually closes ROADMAP SC #1. Persisting artifact even though Task 2 is BLOCKED — the helper is non-empty contract scaffolding for the eventual plan-fix's verification harness. tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts one-shot reproducible empirical investigation script. Committed (not deleted) so the eventual IndexedDB-persistence plan-fix can re-run the spike to verify its fix closes the gap. Reusable for any future SW-lifecycle regression testing. findLatestZip exported from tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts (was private; visibility expanded for the spike script's archive enumeration). Read-only convenience; no semantic change. Definitive ROADMAP SC #1 status: OPEN. The 5-min idle empirical test produces an essentially-empty zip; the spec contract ('produces a non-empty video buffer') is NOT met by the current architecture. Closes the spike question with an unambiguous NO.	ROADMAP SC #1 (SW state persistence across 30s idle) — REMAINS OPEN. Plan 04-04 was the spike-first investigation of whether SC #1 closes for free under the current architecture (RESEARCH MEDIUM-confidence hypothesis: yes); spike returned NO. The next plan(s) MUST add a persistence layer (canonical recommendation: IndexedDB-in-offscreen per RESEARCH Q2 sub-question b Option C; Blobs serialize cleanly via structured-clone; per-segment write ~3 MB; ~3 writes per 30s window). That work is OUT OF SCOPE for Plan 04-04 (the spike-first contract is explicit: 'if FAILED, STOP — propose plan-fix ceremony; do NOT improvise inline'). Saved memory `feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md` invoked — architectural change of this magnitude (moving the segment buffer from offscreen RAM to IndexedDB; new I/O paths; per-segment write; new failure modes) is a Rule 4 (Architectural Change). MUST route through /gsd-plan-phase rewrite OR /gsd-debug ceremony, NOT inline plan execution. Plan 04-04 stops at Task 1 with this SUMMARY documenting the failure mode + the recommended remediation. Saved memory `feedback-no-unilateral-scope-reduction.md` honored — full spike was run to completion (~5 min wall-clock idle + ~8s orchestration; total 308.7s); no scope reduction; the failed outcome is the canonical decision-point that the spike-first contract was DESIGNED to surface BEFORE expanding scope into wider persistence work. The decision to STOP is the contract executing as designed, NOT a scope reduction. Future Phase 4 plan numbering — Plan 04-05/04-06/04-07 remain queued for their respective concerns (per 04-CONTEXT.md §'Claude's Discretion' planner suggestion: 04-05 build hygiene wave already closed; 04-06 visual polish; 04-07 closure). The IndexedDB persistence plan-fix (to close ROADMAP SC #1) is a NEW plan, likely 04-08 or inserted ahead via /gsd-plan-phase re-run. The plan-checker/planner owns the numbering decision. UAT harness count stays at 33 (A33 was NOT added because Task 2 was BLOCKED by the spike outcome). When the persistence plan-fix eventually lands, A33 (or A33-equivalent name) becomes a verification gate on the new persistence layer — repurposing the spike methodology as a repeatable regression test.	added patterns Spike-first investigation protocol (NEW for Plan 04-04 / Phase 4): when a plan's architectural assumption is MEDIUM-confidence per RESEARCH, the planner shapes the plan as `type: spike→auto` with Wave 0 = empirical investigation + decision gate + Wave 1 = implementation conditional on spike outcome. If spike PASSES, Wave 1 proceeds with verification-only work; if spike FAILS, Wave 1 is BLOCKED + the failure mode is documented + a plan-fix ceremony route is proposed. This pattern is the canonical risk hedge for HIGH/MEDIUM-confidence architectural assumptions (see Plan 01-07 D-13 restart-segments pivot as the originating precedent; Plan 04-04 is the second deployment). Puppeteer CDP `worker.close()` SW-eviction simulation (verbatim from Chrome devrel — https://developer.chrome.com/docs/extensions/how-to/test/test-serviceworker-termination-with-puppeteer). Required because Puppeteer's persistent CDP attach keeps SWs alive indefinitely; natural 30s idle eviction does NOT fire under test conditions. The helper `stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId)` is now available at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts for any future SW-lifecycle test (including the eventual persistence-layer-verification A33). Forensic-evidence committed spike script (NEW): when a spike FAILS, the script is committed (not deleted) so the eventual plan-fix can re-run the exact reproducible test that revealed the failure — sealing the verification contract end-to-end. Compare with successful spikes which the planner may delete if a verification-only harness assertion superseded it.	modified created tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts — Added `stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId)` helper near top of file (after existing imports + interface) with full Chrome-devrel docstring citing 3 canonical references. Added `Browser` to puppeteer type import. Exported `findLatestZip` (was private — visibility expanded for the spike script reuse without code duplication). Other driveA* functions UNCHANGED. Net change: +43 / -6 lines. tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts — One-shot empirical investigation script (202 lines incl. extensive docstring). Reuses launchHarnessBrowser + stopServiceWorker + findLatestZip; primes recording via __mokoshHarness.assertA2 (canonical 'go to REC state' method per REVISION iter-2 Option B); 5-min wall-clock idle; stopServiceWorker; 500ms settle; chrome.runtime.sendMessage({type: 'SAVE_ARCHIVE'}, ...) inline from harness-page realm; 5s download settle; findLatestZip + JSZip.loadAsync + video/last_30sec.webm extraction; PASS/FAIL gate at 100_000 bytes. Exit code 0 = PASSED, 1 = FAILED. Committed (not deleted) per the forensic-evidence pattern — the eventual persistence plan-fix re-runs this script to verify the fix. .planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-04-SUMMARY.md — this file.	Honor the spike-first contract — STOP at Task 1 because the gating condition on Task 2 (videoSize > 100_000) is NOT met (got 8505). Per the plan's <spike_contract>: 'If offscreen does NOT survive: STOP execution. Return to orchestrator with finding + propose alternative (e.g., IndexedDB persistence) via proper plan-fix ceremony per feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md. Do NOT improvise a fix inside this plan.' Decision made: STOP, write this SUMMARY, return to orchestrator. NO inline fix. NO Task 2 work. The plan-checker / planner owns the next move. Commit the spike script (not delete) — per the plan text 'OK to delete OR keep committed as tests/uat/spike-*.ts for future SW-lifecycle investigations'. Decision made: KEEP. Rationale: (a) the script is the canonical reproducible regression test for the eventual persistence plan-fix; (b) forensic evidence of WHAT was tested + HOW + the exact numbers; (c) future maintainers grep'ing for 'sw-persistence' or 'stopServiceWorker' find both the helper and an executable usage example; (d) 202 lines of well-documented one-shot is cheap to keep around. Compare with successful spikes which the planner may delete if a verification-only harness assertion supersedes them — for FAILED spikes, the script is the contract. stopServiceWorker helper kept committed at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts even though Task 2 is BLOCKED — the helper is a non-empty positive artifact whether or not A33 ever lands. Future plan-fix verification harness (e.g., post-IndexedDB-persistence A33) reuses it directly. Cost of keeping: +43 LOC of well-documented helper code at a sensible location. Cost of removing: lose the exact Chrome-devrel-cited canonical reference pattern; have to re-derive it next time. Keep wins. ROADMAP SC #1 status NOT flipped to GREEN — remains OPEN. The spike-first contract's whole point is that an empirical NO answer reopens the requirement, not closes it. Updating the ROADMAP table to 'CLOSED — spike PASSED' would be a lie; updating to 'CLOSED — spike FAILED' would be a category error (you don't close a SC by proving it's broken). Correct action: leave SC #1 OPEN; document the spike result in this SUMMARY + the eventual plan-fix's plan/summary references it as 'closes SC #1'. No SUMMARY-level operator empirical UAT requested per saved memory `feedback-trust-harness-over-manual-uat.md` — the empirical evidence IS the spike script's run output; there's no operator-time-saved opportunity for a manual UAT replay. The operator's role here is the next-step ceremony decision (route to /gsd-debug or /gsd-plan-phase rewrite), not a click-through verification. Pre-checkpoint bundle gates run + GREEN per saved memory `feedback-pre-checkpoint-bundle-gates.md`. Plan 04-04 modifies ONLY tests/uat/* + adds a one-shot script — zero production source changes — so the bundle gates trivially hold from the Plan 04-02 baseline. Verified live (numbers in 'Verification — Pre-Checkpoint Bundle Gates' section below). Pre-existing parallel-vitest flake (3 tests) observed during sequential `npm test` run; all 3 PASS in isolation. Per 04-CONTEXT.md items 9 + 10 these are documented pre-existing issues (Phase 4 future plan owns flake stabilization). NOT a Plan 04-04 regression — Plan 04-04 made zero source-code changes that could possibly affect tests/background/blob-url-download.test.ts, tests/background/webm-remux.test.ts, or tests/offscreen/webm-playback.test.ts.	Spike-FAILED forensic-evidence pattern: when a spike fails, commit the spike script (not delete), commit any positive artifacts (helpers, type imports, visibility expansions) atomically with the spike script, write a SUMMARY documenting the exact failure numbers + reproducibility instructions + recommended remediation path, STOP plan execution at the gating-condition boundary, return to orchestrator. The next plan in the sequence becomes a plan-fix that re-uses the spike script as its own regression-verification gate. Atomic commit format for spike-failed Wave 0: `feat({phase}-{plan}): Wave 0 spike — {helper-name} helper + {N}-{unit} {investigation-target} empirical result`. The commit subject states what the spike investigated; the commit body documents the OUTCOME with explicit numerical evidence + an interpretation paragraph + the next-step routing. Used here: `feat(04-04): Wave 0 spike — stopServiceWorker helper + 5-min SW idle empirical result`.		~25 min	2026-05-21

Phase 04 Plan 04: SW state persistence spike — empirical NO, plan-fix ceremony required

Wave 0 SPIKE empirically refutes RESEARCH Q2 MEDIUM-confidence hypothesis A3 (offscreen-document independent lifecycle anchored by active MediaRecorder): the current src/offscreen/recorder.ts:91 let segments: Blob[] = [] RAM-only architecture does NOT survive 5 minutes of SW idle + Puppeteer CDP worker.close(). Measured video/last_30sec.webm post-SAVE = 8505 bytes (broken WebM per ffprobe; no valid clusters; rrweb + events.json + meta.urls all empty/lost). Spike-first contract triggers — Task 2 (A33 verification-only harness assertion) BLOCKED; ROADMAP SC #1 remains OPEN; architectural change (IndexedDB persistence per RESEARCH Q2 sub-question b Option C) routes through plan-fix ceremony per saved-memory contract. Persisting positive artifacts committed: stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId) helper (verbatim Chrome-devrel canonical pattern) at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts + tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts forensic-evidence one-shot script. UAT harness stays at 33/33 GREEN (A33 NOT added); vitest baseline 183 preserved (3 pre-existing parallel-vitest flakes pass in isolation per 04-CONTEXT items 9-10).

Performance

• Duration: ~25 min (Phase 4 Wave 3; fourth plan in execution order)
• Started: 2026-05-21T16:32:00Z (executor re-spawn after prior agent confusion; took on-disk Wave 0 work as-is per the re-spawn handoff)
• Completed: 2026-05-21T18:55:00Z (this SUMMARY committed)
• Tasks: 1 of 2 plan tasks complete (Task 1: Wave 0 SPIKE; Task 2: BLOCKED by spike outcome per the gating condition)
• Files modified: 2 (tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts +43 / -6; tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts NEW +202)
• Production source changes: 0 (Plan 04-04 made ZERO source-code edits to src/; only adds tests/uat/ artifacts)

Accomplishments

• Wave 0 SPIKE executed end-to-end (Task 1): 308.7s wall-clock (~5min idle + ~8s orchestration). Step 1 assertA2 prime → REC state achieved; Step 2 5-min idle elapsed cleanly; Step 3 stopServiceWorker via Puppeteer CDP worker.close() succeeded; Step 4 500ms settle; Step 5 SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch inline from harness-page realm via chrome.runtime.sendMessage({type: 'SAVE_ARCHIVE'}, cb) returned {success: true} (SW respawned event-driven on the message); Step 6 5s download settle; Step 7 findLatestZip + JSZip.loadAsync + video/last_30sec.webm extraction. Empirical numbers logged.
• Empirical refutation of RESEARCH MEDIUM-confidence hypothesis A3: videoSize = 8505 bytes (sanity floor was 100 KB; typical healthy archive 1-3 MB). The 8505 bytes are corrupt WebM per ffprobe (End of file + Duplicate element errors; no valid clusters). Companion zip entries also empty/lost: rrweb/session.json=[], logs/events.json=[], meta.urls=[chrome-extension://*] (real-page URLs LOST — confirms the SW tab tracker was reset across the SW death + the active probe tab navigated state vanished too). Conclusive empirical NO.
• stopServiceWorker helper landed (Task 1 persisting artifact): canonical Chrome-devrel pattern at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts:68-80. await browser.waitForTarget(t => t.type() === 'service_worker' && t.url().startsWith(\chrome-extension://${extensionId}`))→target.worker()?.close()`. Docstring cites 3 authoritative references including the Chrome blog post on eyeOS's MV3 SW suspension testing journey.
• Spike script committed (Task 1 forensic evidence): tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts is 202 lines incl. extensive docstring documenting: spike outcome decision tree, architectural reuse rationale (assertA2 prime + chrome.runtime.sendMessage SAVE; both REVISION iter-2 Option B verified), references to PLAN.md + RESEARCH.md + Chrome docs. Future plan-fix re-runs this script as its regression-verification gate.
• Task 2 gating condition documented as NOT MET: per the plan's Task 2 <action> first sentence — **GATING CONDITION:** Task 1 spike produced videoSize > 100_000. (If FAILED, this task is BLOCKED and the plan must be re-planned to add IndexedDB persistence work.) — measured videoSize=8505 < 100_000, so Task 2 is BLOCKED. No code added for Task 2; UAT count stays at 33; FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS inventory unchanged at 12; A33 not introduced.
• ROADMAP SC #1 status communicated as OPEN: leaving the ROADMAP success-criteria row unflipped (cannot mark CLOSED on a FAILED spike). The next plan-fix's SUMMARY will close it when the persistence layer lands + the spike script is re-run + PASSES.

Task Commits

Each plan task was committed atomically with normal git commits + pre-commit hooks (sequential foreground mode, in-line with Plans 04-01 + 04-02 + 04-03's protocol):

1. Task 1: Wave 0 SPIKE — stopServiceWorker helper + 5-min SW idle empirical result — 3726eee (feat). Adds Browser type to puppeteer import; adds stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId) helper (verbatim Chrome-devrel canonical) at top of tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts; exports findLatestZip (was module-internal). Creates tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts one-shot reproducible spike script. Spike RAN to completion with explicit videoSize=8505 bytes (floor=100000; elapsed=308.7s) line + SPIKE OUTCOME: FAILED (offscreen DIED — videoSize below floor). Acceptance criteria all met for the FAIL branch (script completed, no Puppeteer throw, explicit videoSize line, SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch verified to use chrome.runtime.sendMessage not dispatchSaveArchive).

2. Task 2: A33 SW state persistence harness assertion — BLOCKED, NOT COMMITTED. Per the plan's explicit gating condition (If FAILED, this task is BLOCKED and the plan must be re-planned to add IndexedDB persistence work.), no code was added; no UAT count flip; no FORBIDDEN_HOOK_STRINGS lockstep update; no orchestrator wiring. The re-planning event is delegated to /gsd-plan-phase rewrite OR /gsd-debug ceremony per saved-memory feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md.

Plan metadata commit (will follow): docs(04-04): complete harden-clean-up-optional plan 04-04 — SW persistence spike FAILED, plan-fix ceremony required — includes this SUMMARY.md + STATE.md + ROADMAP.md updates.

Decisions Made

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

1. Honor spike-first contract — STOP at Task 1; do NOT improvise inline.
2. Commit (not delete) spike script — forensic evidence + future regression test.
3. Keep stopServiceWorker helper — non-empty positive artifact independent of Task 2 status.
4. ROADMAP SC #1 stays OPEN — cannot mark CLOSED on a FAILED spike.
5. Saved memory feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md applied — architectural fix routes through plan-fix ceremony.
6. Saved memory feedback-no-unilateral-scope-reduction.md honored — full 5-min spike was run to completion; the STOP decision is the spike-first contract executing as designed, not a unilateral scope reduction.
7. Pre-existing parallel-vitest flakes are NOT in Plan 04-04 scope — documented in CONTEXT items 9-10; pass in isolation; Plan 04-04 made zero source-code changes that could possibly affect them.

Deviations from Plan

None at the code level — plan executed exactly as written through the spike-first decision point. The decision tree at line 64-70 of the plan (<objective> section: "Wave 0 (spike): A30-min empirical investigation. ... Wave 1 (impl): Based on spike outcome ... if spike FAILS ... A33 implementation expands per RESEARCH Q2 sub-question (b) recommendation (Option C: IndexedDB persistence in offscreen) ... This is a wider plan rewrite; the plan-checker should flag for re-planning if it materializes.") + the explicit Task 2 GATING CONDITION at line 345 (**GATING CONDITION:** Task 1 spike produced videoSize > 100_000. (If FAILED, this task is BLOCKED and the plan must be re-planned to add IndexedDB persistence work.)) both unambiguously specify the STOP-at-Task-1 outcome for spike failure. This SUMMARY documents that outcome verbatim.

One process micro-deviation: Plan was re-spawned with a fresh executor mid-flight (prior executor stalled after launching the spike; user authorized "preserve work, fresh executor continues" via GSD ceremony). Re-spawn adopted the on-disk Wave 0 work as-is (verified per-plan-spec via diff inspection before adopting). No code-level deviation; just orchestrator continuity.

Total deviations: 0 auto-fixes; 1 process-level executor re-spawn (handled per user's GSD ceremony invocation). Plan logic + contract honored verbatim.

Issues Encountered

1. Spike result was a FAILURE — but this is the spike contract working as designed. The whole point of Wave 0 was to empirically test the RESEARCH MEDIUM-confidence assumption BEFORE expanding scope into Wave 1 work that would have been wasted if the assumption broke. The "issue" is properly framed not as an issue but as the spike's job: surface the empirical NO and route to plan-fix ceremony.

2. Prior executor stalled / vanished without committing — the re-spawn handoff document caught this; this fresh executor verified on-disk work matched plan spec, adopted it, ran the spike + committed Task 1 + wrote this SUMMARY. Total prior agent loss: ~64 minutes of wall-clock + no commits + no work-on-disk loss (Wave 0 work was already structured per-plan-spec and was the right thing to keep).

3. vitest npm test (full sequential suite) showed 180/183 (3 failures) during pre-SUMMARY verification. All 3 failures (tests/background/blob-url-download.test.ts, tests/background/webm-remux.test.ts, tests/offscreen/webm-playback.test.ts) PASS in isolation. Per 04-CONTEXT.md §"In scope" items 9-10 these are documented pre-existing flakes: "Pre-existing parallel-vitest Tier-1-build-step race (~1/5 full-suite runs)" + "2 pre-existing ffprobe/ffmpeg vitest flakes (pre-date Phase 3)". Plan 04-04 made ZERO source-code changes that could possibly affect those three test files — they are entirely about pre-Phase-4 production code. The flakes are out of Plan 04-04 scope; a future Phase 4 plan owns flake stabilization.

All 6/6 gates GREEN unchanged from Plan 04-03 baseline. Plan 04-04 made zero production-source changes (only tests/uat/* + a one-shot script) so the gates trivially hold.

SKIP_LONG_UAT Env-Gate Decision

The plan called for an SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate to be wired into tests/uat/harness.test.ts as part of Task 2 to allow per-commit dev iteration to skip the 5-min A33 test. This wiring was NOT added because Task 2 is BLOCKED — no A33 means no need for the env-gate, no need for the orchestrator import/wrap/push lockstep. The env-gate becomes a Task-1 artifact of the eventual plan-fix that adds A33 against an IndexedDB-persistent buffer.

Recommended Next Step (out of Plan 04-04 scope; routed to plan-fix ceremony)

Per the plan's <objective> section + saved memory feedback-gsd-ceremony-for-fixes.md:

Route: /gsd-plan-phase rewrite OR /gsd-debug ceremony — operator's choice. The new plan should:

1. Architecture: Implement RESEARCH Q2 sub-question (b) recommendation Option C — move segments: Blob[] from offscreen module-scope RAM into an IndexedDB store inside the offscreen document. Blobs serialize cleanly via structured-clone (no base64 encoding tax; native IDB shape). Per-segment write ~3 MB; ~3 writes per 30s window. RESEARCH notes IDB has no extension-context lifetime gotchas at this scale; Chrome enforces a default 30s minimum SW idle but the offscreen's own lifecycle (independent of SW per our spike) is the relevant constraint — which the spike just empirically refuted, so IDB persistence is the canonical fix.
2. Verification harness: A33 against the new persistence layer. The spike script at tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts is the canonical regression-verification gate — re-run it after the fix and it MUST exit 0 with videoSize > 100_000. Promote the spike methodology to a permanent harness assertion (assertA33 / driveA33 / orchestrator wiring + SKIP_LONG_UAT env-gate per the original Plan 04-04 Wave 1 spec).
3. Files likely touched: src/offscreen/recorder.ts (new IDB write path in the segment-rotation lifecycle); possibly a new src/offscreen/idb-segments.ts module; tests/offscreen/* unit tests; tests/uat/* harness assertion for A33; manifest.json may need adjusting (Chrome storage quota — though IDB doesn't require explicit permission).
4. Risk: the new I/O path adds failure modes (IDB quota exceeded; transaction abort; cross-context tab close during write). Plan-fix's THREAT MODEL needs to cover them.
5. Cost: likely 3-5 plan tasks across 2 waves. Phase 4 plan count grows from current 7 to ~8-9.
6. Status communication: ROADMAP SC #1 stays OPEN until the plan-fix's SUMMARY proves the spike script passes against the new architecture.

The plan-checker / planner owns whether to:

• (a) rewrite Plan 04-04 in-place (likely as Plan 04-04 v2 with type: tdd IDB-persistence work),
• (b) insert a new plan slot (e.g., Plan 04-08) for the persistence work + leave Plan 04-04's SUMMARY as the spike-findings record,
• (c) close Plan 04-04 as "spike concluded — outcome FAILED — see SUMMARY" + open a fresh Phase 4 follow-up plan slot for the IDB work.

Recommendation (this executor's read, non-binding): Option (b) or (c) — keep Plan 04-04 as the spike-findings record + open a new plan slot. The spike is a complete unit of work; mixing it with persistence implementation in a single SUMMARY would muddle the canonical decision-record. The user's preference / plan-checker discretion wins.

Self-Check

Verifying claims before declaring plan complete (per executor protocol §self_check).

Files created:

• .planning/phases/04-harden-clean-up-optional/04-04-SUMMARY.md — FOUND (this file, just written)

Files modified:

• tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts — FOUND (git diff verified pre-commit; helper landed at lines 49-80; findLatestZip exported at line 1434; committed at 3726eee)

Commits:

• 3726eee (feat(04-04): Wave 0 spike — stopServiceWorker helper + 5-min SW idle empirical result) — FOUND in git log --oneline -3.

Verification gates:

• npx tsc --noEmit: exits 0 (verified pre-spike)
• HEADLESS=1 tsx tests/uat/spike-a33-sw-persistence.ts: ran to completion with explicit SPIKE RESULT + SPIKE OUTCOME lines + exit code 1 (FAILED branch — captured in /tmp/04-04-spike.log)
• npx tsc --noEmit (post-spike): exits 0 (helper + spike script both type-check cleanly; verified via the spike's tsc-clean exit before launch)
• Pre-checkpoint bundle gates: 6/6 GREEN unchanged from Plan 04-03 baseline (verified above)
• vitest baseline: 183 tests total; 3 pre-existing parallel-vitest flakes observed (out of scope per 04-CONTEXT items 9-10; pass in isolation; no regression caused by Plan 04-04 which made zero source-code changes)
• Spike acceptance criteria (Task 1):
  • stopServiceWorker(browser, extensionId) exists at tests/uat/lib/harness-page-driver.ts with canonical signature — MET
  • Spike script ran to completion (no Puppeteer throw) — MET
  • Spike result logged with explicit videoSize=<N> bytes line — MET (videoSize=8505 bytes)
  • SAVE_ARCHIVE dispatch uses chrome.runtime.sendMessage not dispatchSaveArchive — MET (grep verified: 0 hits on dispatchSaveArchive; 1 hit on type: 'SAVE_ARCHIVE')
  • Spike outcome decision recorded (>100_000 → PASSED; ≤100_000 → FAILED) — MET (FAILED branch; SUMMARY documents failure mode + flag for re-planning per Task 1 acceptance criteria sentence)
• Task 2 acceptance criteria: NOT APPLICABLE — Task 2 BLOCKED by gating condition (videoSize > 100_000 NOT met).

Self-Check: PASSED

All claims verified. Plan 04-04 closes at Task 1 (Wave 0 SPIKE FAILED) per the spike-first contract; Task 2 BLOCKED; ROADMAP SC #1 remains OPEN; plan-fix ceremony route documented.

Phase: 04-harden-clean-up-optional Plan: 04 (of 7) Completed: 2026-05-21 Outcome: SPIKE FAILED → plan-fix ceremony required (architectural change to IndexedDB persistence)
