@coderabbitai I checked the snapshot compatibility boundary and added explicit coverage in
Validation: all 24 MCP server tests pass, as do the server no-emit typecheck, targeted lint and diff check. This follow-up changes tests only; production code is unchanged from the previously reported 181-test/native-Windows validation. This establishes compatibility for the in-repository consumers and the older-host response path, rather than claiming guarantees about arbitrary custom consumers. Please reassess the finding with these concrete boundaries; the maintainer review requirement has not been overridden. |

The code and tests support these conclusions:
This evidence resolves my concern for the identified consumers and older-host response path. It does not establish compatibility for arbitrary custom consumers. I verified the code and test assertions, not the reported test execution. The maintainer review requirement remains unchanged. ✏️ Learnings added

@juliusmarminge The fix for #16921 is ready for maintainer review, based on your merged #16939. CodeRabbit withdrew its snapshot compatibility finding; its remaining Approvability gate requires a maintainer review because the change spans the server and contracts.

@coderabbitai resume Addressed the navigation-budget finding from your review in e9f5f2d. Both reused-tab Seven focused navigation cases cover immediate/queued dispatch, oversized/shorter explicit timeouts, readiness and browser setup time: six failed before the fix, and all seven pass after it. The complete focused set passes 298 tests in 17 files; server typecheck, targeted lint, formatting and diff checks pass. An independent static review found no blockers. The navigation cases use real broker/control logic with mocked Chromium I/O; they do not claim a new native navigation or full-app test. Please review the updated head. |

@juliusmarminge TL;DR for #16921
1. Up to date: built on your merges
2. Still broken on
|
Broken on main today |
What #16941 does |
|---|---|
| One hung screenshot takes down the shared browser host. A capture that never answers evicts the host; unrelated tabs/threads fail. | Keeps the trusted host; only that request fails. |
| Expired work still runs. Queued actions start after their request timed out; active work has no deadline of its own. | Drops retired queued work; cancels active work at its original deadline. |
| Text-only requests still take screenshots. They trigger native capture; a stalled read/capture holds the tab queue. | Skips capture when no image is wanted; bounds reads/capture so the queue recovers. |
3. Cloudflare still fails (not fixed by this PR)
On official nightly 2922 a fresh login showed a verification error and a reload reached a human challenge. Manual verification was not tested. Three snapshots returned the page-change guard error; a later challenge-page PNG succeeded and the host stayed available. This PR does not claim to fix challenge compatibility or make a fully hidden native compositor paintable.
Next step
Please authorize fork CI and review this remaining scope.
Per merged PR: what it fixes and what it leaves open; what the live retest does/does not show
- fix(desktop): sign-in and captchas work again in desktop browser tabs #16939 fixes native child-frame rendering; it does not change request retirement, host eviction or capture-stage deadlines.
- fix(server): environment-hosted browser tabs behave like a normal browser #16963 terminates a timed-out evaluation. This PR additionally binds queued/active work to the original request lifetime and handles cancellation and stalled capture stages.
- fix(server): agent browser tools stop bloating history, fall back sensibly, and respect ownership #16956 defaults MCP image output to text-only and improves fallback, profiles and ownership. This PR carries that preference through to native execution, so omitting an output image also avoids unnecessary capture.
- fix(server): keep preview browser connected after operation timeouts #17693 allows a late typed timeout reply to arrive without losing the host. A genuinely unanswered request can still outlast that grace. This PR retains the trusted in-process host and keeps execution deadlines separate from reply grace.
- fix(server): check the specific scope for scripts, preview input, and full-access MCP grants #17772 is newer than our public branch; the combined-main test retains its access controls and controller-specific file-picker checks. It is not claimed as already merged into our branch.
Official nightly 2922 retest (not an installed test of this PR): ordinary navigation, inspection and expected timeout recovery worked; the original ordinary-page snapshot hang/host-loss cascade was not reproduced. That successful path does not establish recovery from a genuinely unanswered capture or cancellation of expired queued/active work. Those are the remaining code/regression-test cases above.
Exact live retest and limits. The PR description retains the full evidence, earlier native Windows component checks, and missing packaged-app/native-macOS verification.

ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This PR substantially changes production browser request lifetimes, shared-host availability, cancellation, capture behavior, and MCP snapshot defaults across multiple core components. The new tests provide meaningful coverage, but the cross-cutting runtime impact and changed product default warrant human review. You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more. |

Problem
Fixes #16921. A genuinely unanswered browser request can evict the shared in-process host, abort other pending calls and leave expired work holding a tab queue or dispatching later. Upstream now handles ordinary typed timeouts, but its reply grace does not enforce the original queued/active execution lifetime or bound every native capture stage.
Change
This is one request-lifetime/availability fix following the maintainer-account triage. It preserves #16939, #16963, #16956 and #17693. Native background compositor repair, debugger reattachment and Cloudflare compatibility are separate.
Verification

f92afe79passed 301 tests / 17 files and both typechecks. It retains #17772's preview permission and controller-specific file-picker protections. The merge is conflict-free. This candidate is local verification only; no new PR commit was pushed.The official nightly 2922 live retest recovered ordinary typed timeouts; that was not an installed test of this PR. Earlier native Windows component tests and current headless-app checks have separate limits. No native macOS or successful Cloudflare-login test is claimed.

1ead03a): tested the integrated, bundledServerBrowserPageandSessionControlthrough the actual desktop CDP relay in a fresh isolated Electron webview. An unresolved promise timed out and the next evaluation succeeded in 107 ms; an infinite loop timed out and recovered in 203 ms. Cancelling a busy loop at 100 ms released it and recovered in 103 ms, rather than waiting for its 2-second execution budget. Cancelling an evaluation did not terminate the subsequent 150 ms evaluation.Earlier native component checks reproduced the original hidden screenshot stall (>4 seconds), verified patched text-only snapshot/ref-click recovery (177 ms), and bounded hidden PNG failure plus same-tab recovery (1,014 ms). Making the guest paintable allowed PNG capture; that diagnostic geometry change is not in this patch.
These are native-component checks, not a packaged full-application end-to-end test, Cloudflare login verification, or a native macOS test. The installed app and live user database were not changed.

Normal typed-timeout recovery does not cover a genuinely unanswered read beyond grace or prove expired queued/active-work cancellation. This is an installed headless-browser test, not a packaged test of the PR, native Electron hidden capture, native macOS, manual human verification, or successful Cloudflare login. No credentials were entered; the app installation and live database were unchanged. The remaining Cloudflare behavior is outside this timeout-isolation patch.
