Assortment of various flakiness conditions found running tests in a loop
locally:
This PR introduces a comprehensive set of hermetic retry layers and
aggressive
timeout handlers across the test suite to insulate it from random
Chromium
startup hangs, CDP deadlocks, and Puppeteer lifecycle flakes. It
guarantees that
temporary browser infrastructure failures are automatically retried
without
failing the CI, while actual code assertion failures still fail fast.
### Test Harness & Retry Improvements
• tests/utils.ts: Rewrote withBrowser to include a 30-second internal
timeout and
a 3-attempt retry loop. If Chromium locks up or disconnects (Target
closed /
socket hang up), the browser is forcibly evicted (via SIGKILL if
browser.close()
hangs) and the test setup is cleanly retried.
• tests/index.test.ts: Wrapped withClient (used by E2E tests) in a
3-attempt
retry loop to handle the daemon/Chromium hanging during launch and
triggering the
60-second MCP client timeout.
• tests/browser.test.ts: Added a safeClose helper that imposes a
2-second timeout
before SIGKILLing browsers, and wrapped raw Puppeteer tests in
runWithRetry to
handle startup hangs.
• tests/shutdown.test.ts: Added a setupServerWithRetry helper to prevent
random
60s RPC timeouts when the server's Chrome instance hangs during boot.
### Flaky Operations & Navigation Fixes
• src/tools/performance.ts & tests/tools/performance.test.ts: Replaced
the
notoriously flaky waitUntil: ['networkidle0'] with 'load' when
navigating to
about:blank in performance_start_trace. This prevents random 10-second
Navigation
timeout exceeded errors. Also stubbed goto in the associated unit tests
for
better hermeticity.
• src/McpContext.ts: Wrapped browser.installExtension() with a 15-second
timeout
to prevent deadlocks when an extension fails to load.
• tests/tools/extensions.test.ts: Removed flaky headless UI navigations
to
chrome://extensions in favor of using the context.listExtensions() API.
• tests/tools/pages.test.js.snapshot: Synced test snapshots to reflect
updated
environment baselines.
Extracting WebMCP tools into a separate category for better grouping in
the docs. This changes `--experimentalWebmcp` to
`--categoryExperimentalWebmcp` to align with other experimental
categories. Debugging category was not a good fit since the tools
provided by WebMCP are not necessarily used for debugging.

This PR adds an experimental allowlist for the page navigate tool call
(requires `--experimentalNavigationAllowlist`, off by default). The
feature uses a list of URLPatterns to decline navigations that land on
disallowed URLs. If that happens, the client can update the allowlist
and re-try. The purpose of the this feature is to offer additional
guardrails on top of the MCP server. It does not restrict subresources
or JS/iframe navigations in any way. The performance impact is minimized
by turning off interception as soon as the navigation request is done.
