Work in progress for navigation-safe screen recording.
Implemented:
- tabCapture permission in manifest
- Recording handlers in extension background.ts
- Recording endpoints in relay server
- Binary WebSocket streaming for video chunks
- Protocol types for recording messages
- Executor integration
Needs:
- Offscreen document implementation (tabCapture not available in service workers)
- Connect background.ts to offscreen document via messages
- Update manifest for offscreen document
The offscreen.ts/html files are scaffolding for this next step.
- Server rejects new extension (code 4002) if existing has active tabs
- Idle extensions (no tabs) can still be replaced
- Extension properly enters polling mode when rejected during handshake
- /extension/status now returns activeTargets count for smarter reconnection
- Connect WS at extension startup via maintainConnection() loop
- Auto-retry every 5 seconds silently (no connecting badge)
- Never disconnect WS based on tab count
- Rename ConnectionState 'disconnected' to 'idle', remove global 'connecting'
- Fix race condition with tabGroupQueue for syncTabGroup/disconnectEverything/onTabUpdated
- Add auto-create initial tab when Playwright connects (PLAYWRITER_AUTO_ENABLE env var)
- Add test for auto-create feature
