Summary

  • New PageLifecycleTracker is the single owner of the window/document lifecycle listeners (pagehide, visibilitychange, online, offline, orientationchange); attaches on first subscriber, releases on last, never throws into DOM dispatch.
  • The events source and the Connection/Orientation trackers subscribe to it instead of attaching their own listeners (back-compat when no lifecycle is injected).
  • Browser and webview launches create one tracker and share it (webview listener count on the window: 6 → 3).
  • Browser launch now passes the document, so process_foreground/process_background are captured there too.

Design: docs/design/system-traces-expansion.md §14.3/§14.5 (shared PageLifecycleTracker).

Stacked on #62 — base is feat/browser-trackers; will be retargeted to main once #62 merges.

Verification

  • Tests first, mutator loop run per changed entity (no surviving mutations), pnpm ci:local green (e2e runs in CI).
  • Local Opus review: no real findings; its test-gap findings (consumer-throw reporting, events-source reactivation, release on stop) are covered.

…kers and producers

The browser traces.system set now follows the ST0' tracker/producer structure end to end, and the
legacy createBrowserSystemTracesSampler / BrowserTracesEnv are deleted (systemMetricsSampler stays as an
override only).

- MemoryTracker owns the one performance.memory poll timer, started only while subscribed and never where
  the engine has no performance.memory.
- ConnectionTracker (online/offline + navigator.connection change) and OrientationTracker
  (screen.orientation change + orientationchange) are event-driven; their producers de-duplicate and hold
  so the provider refresh keeps them in a rolling window.
- Producers read the live navigator/performance/screen/window. The old sampler copied navigator with a
  spread, which drops the prototype accessors (onLine, connection, deviceMemory) on a real browser.
- Launch passes its injected window and scheduler to the trackers.

…d heap timer activation

Review findings on #62:
- A supplied systemMetricsSampler now replaces heap/connection/orientation (battery still runs), as on
  Node and as it did before the migration, instead of adding duplicate rows next to the producers.
- MemoryTracker reports a throwing scheduler.setInterval instead of leaking out of on() and stranding an
  active tracker with a leaked listener.
- Webview wiring is now tested (sensor rows, window listeners released on stop, sampler override).

🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code)
CodeRabbit finding on #62: dropping the handle before a refused clear orphaned a possibly-live timer, and
a later activation then armed a second one (duplicate ram_js_heap_* rows). The handle is now kept until
the clear succeeds; re-activation retries the clear and reuses the live timer if it is refused again.

…connection/orientation traces

One tracker owns the window/document lifecycle listeners (pagehide, visibilitychange, online,
offline, orientationchange); the events source and the connection/orientation trackers subscribe
to it. Browser and webview launches create one and share it. The browser launch now passes the
document, so foreground/background events are captured there too.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features
    • Browser and WebView clients share page lifecycle monitoring across system events and traces, reducing duplicate event listeners.
    • Browser clients capture foreground and background events when the page’s visibility changes.
    • Exported a page lifecycle tracker for browser integrations.

Browser and WebView launches now create one PageLifecycleTracker and share it with system-event and trace producers. The tracker manages window and document lifecycle listeners, converts lifecycle event data, and reports caught errors through an optional callback. System events, connection tracking, and orientation tracking subscribe to the shared tracker when provided. The browser package exports the tracker and its related types.

Priority: ⬇️ Low

Change: Feature

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c4b5d

No identified issue blocks merging after normal checks.

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to db538

The change remains within browser lifecycle observation and does not establish a new privileged access path. Normal subscription cleanup is preserved. However, a throwing application error callback can interrupt the newly shared dispatch and prevent other lifecycle consumers from receiving an event.

Retained concerns

  • Low · reliability · inferred: Shared dispatch makes lifecycle failure containment depend on the application error callback not throwing. If a connection or orientation consumer fails and reporting also throws, emitter dispatch stops before later subscribers; the tracker guard invokes the same unprotected reporter and can throw into DOM dispatch. The reporting pattern predates this PR, but centralization can now suppress other lifecycle consumers that previously had independent DOM listeners. The default absent reporter and the emitter's documented non-throwing-callback precondition limit exposure; no privilege escalation is established.
Security review details

Security Blast Radius

  • inferred — The inspected shared failure domain is one launch's lifecycle-dependent capture consumers within the host page. The traced flow reaches system-event and trace capture, not a newly introduced tenant, service, credential, or native-control boundary.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

  • inferred — Lifecycle notifications are observational inputs, not authenticated commands. Custom lifecycle implementations and error callbacks remain trusted application-supplied code; the inspected change does not establish a remote attacker-controlled injection path or grant those dependencies additional privileged authority.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

  • observed — The inherited emitter documents that reporting callbacks must not throw, while public launch options describe onError only as an internal-error sink. The repository also contains a host-boundary helper that contains failures from reporting sinks. This is material counterevidence and an available containment pattern for the shared-dispatch concern.

Hardening Proposals

  • proposed — Use a non-throwing reporting wrapper consistently for both inherited emitter reporting and tracker guards, so a failing application error sink cannot defeat per-consumer isolation or escape DOM dispatch.

Code review: shared PageLifecycleTracker

I read the PR diff and the code around it: InterceptorBase, MultiKeyEmitterBase, both launches, the three consumers and the tests. I did not run the test suite or the tools, so this is a static review.

Earlier findings: CodeRabbit's finding was that a throwing onError could escape PageLifecycleTracker into DOM dispatch. It looks fixed by c4b5db01. The constructor wraps onError once (page-lifecycle-tracker.ts:37-46). The wrapped reporter is passed to super(...) and used in onActivate and #guard. The matching test is at page-lifecycle-tracker.test.ts:184.

Findings

No P0–P2 issues. I tried to break these areas and found no failing scenario:

  • Subscriber isolation. MultiKeyEmitterBase.emit isolates each listener through #dispatch. A throwing consumer, such as the connection or orientation tracker, cannot starve the events source. Its error goes to the wrapped reporter, which cannot throw. A throwing onError therefore can't take down the shared dispatch.
  • Activation and release.
    • The first subscriber attaches all five listeners.
    • The last unsubscribe removes them.
    • onDeactivate swaps out #attached before iterating, so a re-activation can't replay stale entries.
    • Partial attach failures are still released.
    • The events source and both trackers store their unsubscribe functions and call them on deactivate. The returned unsubscribes are idempotent.
  • Back-compat. Without lifecycle, ConnectionTracker and OrientationTracker still attach directly. createBrowserSystemEventsSource builds its own tracker from window/document/onError. The webview launch no longer passes document to the events source because the shared tracker already has it. This is correct because the source ignores window/document when lifecycle is injected.
  • Behaviour changes.
    • persisted is now a strict boolean (=== true) where it used to be the raw property. That is harmless and arguably better.
    • The browser launch now emits process_foreground/process_background, as the PR says.

P3 (Low) — stale hand-off doc. docs/PROGRESS.md:404 still says "Still open: the shared PageLifecycleTracker…". This PR closes that item, and CLAUDE.md names PROGRESS.md as the hand-off doc, so it should be updated in this PR.

  • Impact: a later contributor may rebuild something that exists.
  • Fix: replace that "Still open" note with a line saying the tracker is built, shared by the events source and the connection/orientation producers, and used by both launches.

Summary

  1. Overall risk: Low.
  2. Merge recommendation: Approve once the P3 doc fix is in. It also needs the base retargeted to main after feat(browser): heap, connection and orientation traces on trackers + producers (BT1) #62 merges. Per the PR description, feat(browser): heap, connection and orientation traces on trackers + producers (BT1) #62 is already squash-merged into this branch.
  3. Most important issue to fix: the PROGRESS.md stale entry. Nothing else needs changing.
  4. Positives:
    • A single owner of the listeners cuts the webview window listener count from 6 to 3.
    • Errors are contained at every boundary.
    • The tests cover reactivation, release on stop, consumer-throw reporting, and a throwing reporter.
    • The changeset is accurate.
