ApprovabilityVerdict: Not approved Macroscope's review found this PR not approvable — This is a large, cross-layer preview automation feature that changes production behavior, adds host selection and close workflows, and modifies recording, snapshot, and timeout lifecycles. Product defaults are changed, integrated Electron verification is incomplete, and unresolved findings include host-routing isolation and recording/resource-retention risks. Not approved because:

In @.agents/skills/worktrees/SKILL.md:
- Around line 68-82: Update the worktree runtime workflow documentation to
either add the missing worktree-runtime-slot.ts and worktree-android-avd.ts
helper scripts with the documented commands and subcommands, or remove all
instructions that depend on them; ensure the documented workflow remains
executable in this checkout.
In `@apps/web/src/browser/browserRecording.ts`:
- Around line 595-597: Update startBrowserRecording and its prerequisite waits
to apply remainingStartupBudget to ensureClientSettingsHydrated, queued grant
acquisition, and waitForBrowserRecordingPaint instead of relying only on
cancellation or the fixed fallback. When the grant wait reaches the deadline,
trigger the existing pre-grant cancellation path before rejecting, while
preserving normal completion when prerequisites finish within the absolute
deadline.
- Around line 823-827: Update the stop flow around stopMediaRecorder and
ActiveRecording to retain the initial pending stop promise across deadline
retries, reusing it instead of calling stopMediaRecorder again for an
already-inactive recorder. Clear or finalize the stored promise only after the
recorder’s stop event completes, so Blob creation remains after all
dataavailable chunks are appended.
In `@apps/web/src/browser/browserRecordingUpload.ts`:
- Around line 75-78: Update runAttachmentUploadCycle to classify the rejected
transfer error before checking the wall-clock deadline: preserve explicit HTTP
and unrelated transport failures as PreviewAutomationRecordingTransferError, and
create PreviewAutomationRecordingDeadlineExpiredError only for the pre-expired
path or an actual timeout. Ensure terminal transfer failures are not retried as
joined uploads merely because they settle after deadlineMs.
In `@apps/web/src/components/preview/previewAutomationClientId.ts`:
- Around line 63-68: Update the nativeLabel handling in the preview automation
client so the value is trimmed after limiting it to 128 characters and before
casting to PreviewAutomationHostLabel, preserving the platform assignment.

The Macroscope rollup and CodeRabbit walkthrough are addressed in the inline replies and the three pushed commits. Recording startup, encoder flush retries, viewport reads, upload error classification, and stale restoration cleanup now have focused regressions. The fork-only worktree skill was removed. The validation section now records 160 passing focused tests, targeted checks, and the source web check. It explicitly retains the missing source-built native Electron proof. The interactive demo is unchanged. Extra checklist sections and an 80% docstring target are not project requirements; the project guidance favors focused documentation.

In @apps/web/src/browser/browserRecording.ts:
- Around line 1085-1092: Update the stop-deadline handler in the stopPromise
lifecycle check so it does not reset a possibly stopped recorder to the
"recording" phase. Preserve the ability to retry stopping while ensuring
startBrowserRecording rejects a new start for this still-active recording, for
example by validating recorderStopped before returning the existing startedAt.
- Around line 547-563: Update isDesktopRecordingTimeout and the
stop-recording/save-recording IPC path so the PreviewAutomationTimeoutError
discriminant survives serialization and is decoded in the renderer; if matching
by message, use PreviewManager’s stable timeout message. Add a bridge-shaped
test that verifies a timeout remains detectable after IPC.
In @apps/web/src/components/preview/previewHostRendering.ts:
- Around line 26-30: Update the probe around the timer and animation-frame
handling to resolve as "paused" immediately when the document is hidden, rather
than waiting for a throttled timer. Keep the remaining probe bounded by the
request deadline.
In @BRANCH_DETAILS.md:
- Line 67: Update the automation snapshot lease guarantee to distinguish the
caller’s wait, which is bounded by the remaining response budget, from the lease
lifetime: once desktop capture starts, keep the lease held until capture
settles.
In @packages/contracts/src/ipc.ts:
- Around line 1114-1119: Update the recording.save IPC schema to accept an
optional idempotencyKey, and update the save handler to use the previous
time-based artifact ID when the key is absent while preserving the keyed
artifact ID for newer renderers.

Regarding the edited security summary, I traced the upload acceptance, retry, and cleanup paths. No further source change is needed for this PR. A caller deadline leaves an unsettled transfer available for the next stop to join. A new attachment ID is minted only after that transfer rejects. The server writes through a temporary file and commits it after receiving the complete body. If acceptance wins a race with a lost response, and deletion fails or runs before the final rename, an unclaimed pending copy can remain. Only the successful stop result is claimed for the thread. That residual pending copy follows the existing attachment cleanup model shared with chat uploads. It becomes eligible for cleanup after 24 hours; actual removal requires a later startup or upload-mint sweep and successful deletion. This is not a strict retention deadline, and native artifact idempotency does not imply exactly-once attachment storage. Adding a transactional attachment protocol is outside this recording-recovery change. Caller namespaces remain routing convenience within one inherited credential, not isolation between holders of that credential. The generic 80% docstring threshold identifies no specific missing explanation; comments continue to follow the repository's guidance.

Reassessed the edited security section on e00af5a. The overlapping Stop interleaving is possible, but ordinary Stop intentionally releases future transfer retry state. BRANCH_DETAILS.md documents that exception, and the recording tests cover releasing failed-transfer retention so another recording can start. The current upload keeps its recording/blob reference and the saved desktop artifact remains available. A later independent retry after that explicit release is intentionally unavailable. The metadata handler follows the existing synchronous IPC path. The inspected preview picker preload exposes neither this host method nor generic IPC, and no guest-to-handler route was established. We are not treating the missing sender check as proof of security; broader sender validation and preload restrictions remain separate hardening proposals. The docstring warning identifies no specific missing explanation, and the repository configures no 80% threshold. No source change is needed for these items.

Note This comment is posted by Julius' dot Closing under the one-problem rule. This combines preview timeout/capture recovery with fixes for later pairing-token navigation and development Electron profiles that fail to start because of incompatible IndexedDB state. Those pairing and startup fixes are independently useful and do not require the preview recovery changes. Please split them into focused PRs, keep the necessary preview changes together with their verification, and request reconsideration. |
Summary
Preview automation could time out while Electron kept working, leaving later actions stuck or losing a recording during retry. A slow WebSocket subscription could block unrelated browser requests, agents sharing a credential could overwrite each other's selected tab, and a hidden host window could stop painting while input appeared to succeed.
Requests now carry one deadline through MCP, renderer readiness, IPC, and Electron. Timed-out control sessions recover, independent RPC requests keep moving, and native caller metadata separates each agent's host and tab selection. Bounded automation resumes the host compositor without showing or focusing its window. Snapshots preserve page data when image capture fails, while recording finalization and transfer can be retried without saving duplicate desktop artifacts.
