Summary

  • resolve non-native Claude-in-Chrome child launches from the current OpenClaude CLI invocation instead of constructing a cli.js filename
  • use the same validated entrypoint for the native-messaging wrapper and dynamic MCP server
  • keep native executable mode flag-only and preserve idempotent POSIX and Windows wrapper generation
  • extend clean-install verification to cover packaged resolver presence, shared launch targets, paths with spaces, and rejection of obsolete dist/cli.js

Reviewed AGENTS.md and CONTRIBUTING.md.

Fixes #2128

Impact

  • user-facing impact: npm installations no longer configure Claude-in-Chrome with a nonexistent dist/cli.js target
  • developer/maintainer impact: child-launch entrypoint policy is centralized and covered across packaged, source, symlink, native, POSIX, and Windows cases

Testing

  • bun run build
  • bun run smoke
  • bun run check
  • bun run install:verify
  • bun run install:verify:published
  • bun run typecheck
  • bun run typecheck:type-tests
  • bun run doctor:runtime
  • bun run security:pr-scan -- --base upstream/main --head HEAD
  • bun test src/utils/claudeInChrome/startup.test.ts src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.test.ts scripts/verify-clean-install.test.ts
  • bun test scripts/openclaude-bin-compile-cache.test.ts scripts/openclaude-bin-heap.test.ts bin/import-specifier.test.mjs
  • git diff --check upstream/main...HEAD

Notes

  • provider/model path tested: not applicable
  • screenshots attached: not applicable; no UI change
  • follow-up work or known limitations: packed npm installs were validated through module resolution and application-entrypoint reachability; full browser extension pairing was not manually verified

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Improved Claude-in-Chrome setup for native and CLI-based installations.
    • Added automatic launch configuration and platform-specific wrapper generation for Chrome integrations.
    • Ensured initialization completes Chrome setup before exiting.
  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved handling of command arguments and paths across platforms.
    • Prevented stale wrappers and invalid installation artifacts from being used.
    • Strengthened installation and upgrade checks for Chrome integrations.
    • Added clearer validation and error reporting for missing or invalid CLI entrypoints.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Claude-in-Chrome setup now resolves the current CLI entrypoint, generates shared platform-specific wrappers, and validates native-host and MCP launches. Clean-install checks validate tarball contents, installed launchers, command execution, and cold or upgrade scenarios.

Changes

Claude-in-Chrome launch flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
CLI entrypoint resolution
src/utils/cliEntrypoint.ts
Adds resolveCurrentCliEntrypoint for validating absolute or relative CLI paths.
Launch configuration and wrapper generation
src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.ts, src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.test.ts
Adds native and CLI launch resolution, platform-specific wrapper rendering, argument quoting, entrypoint validation, executable permissions, caching, and coverage.
Setup integration and startup tests
src/utils/claudeInChrome/setup.ts, src/utils/claudeInChrome/startup.test.ts, src/main.tsx
Routes setup through shared launch and wrapper helpers. Tracks asynchronous setup and waits before --init-only shutdown.
Installed-package validation
scripts/verify-clean-install.ts, scripts/verify-clean-install.test.ts, .github/workflows/install-hygiene.yml
Validates installed Chrome targets, MCP startup, tarball contents, command execution, sandbox paths, and cold or upgrade installations. The workflow installs Bun with the frozen lockfile.

Inline comments:
In `@scripts/verify-clean-install.ts`:
- Around line 247-249: Update checkInstalledChromeEntrypoint to guard both
manifestPath and the installed dist/cli.mjs path with existsSync before
readFileSync or subsequent processing; when either artifact is missing, record
the failure through the existing fail mechanism and return so runScenarios
continues. Follow the established checkInstalledContract pattern and preserve
cleanup behavior.
- Around line 387-401: Update the validation flow around the missing and
forbidden entry checks so both conditions are evaluated and reported
independently. Ensure a tarball with missing required entries and
package/dist/cli.js emits failures for both, while preserving the success path
only when neither condition is present.
- Around line 410-417: Update the Windows shell command construction used by
runNpm and runBin so sandbox paths containing spaces are correctly quoted before
reaching cmd.exe. Preserve the space-containing paths created by makeSandbox,
including the scenarioRoot, prefix, cache, and home values, and ensure all
install and binary invocations continue to resolve those paths on Windows.
- Around line 256-285: Replace the unreachable equality check in the Chrome
launch verification with a direct filesystem existence assertion for
expectedEntrypoint, while preserving the existing failure handling and success
reporting. Use the resolveClaudeInChromeLaunches verification block and the
established filesystem utilities to validate that the installed launcher file
exists.
- Around line 355-375: Update the Chrome MCP probe around runBin and
checkBinBoots so the subprocess receives empty input or otherwise closes stdin
before waiting for the marker, preventing the MCP server from reaching the
timeout. Move this check out of checkBinBoots into a dedicated probe, and
document “[Claude in Chrome] Starting MCP server” as the test contract if that
marker remains the assertion.

In `@src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.test.ts`:
- Around line 30-46: Add a focused test in the resolveClaudeInChromeLaunches
describe block for isNativeBuild: false, asserting both launch configurations
use the expected command, arguments, and requiredEntrypoint values for the
non-native branch. Keep the existing native-mode test unchanged.

In `@src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.ts`:
- Around line 58-97: Update createWrapperScript so the existing-content early
return also verifies that the non-Windows wrapper has executable permissions;
when content matches but the mode is incorrect, continue through the chmod path
instead of returning. Preserve the current Windows behavior and 0o755 mode
applied to non-Windows wrappers.

In `@src/utils/claudeInChrome/startup.test.ts`:
- Around line 88-110: Add an explicit bounded timeout to the spawnSync call that
runs the isolated fixture, and report a clear timeout/termination diagnostic
alongside stdout and stderr when it expires. Update the fixture cleanup flow
around the trailing Bun.sleep and parent removal so it does not rely on an
unnecessary fixed wait.

🩺 Stability & Availability | 🔵 Trivial | 💤 Low value

Non-blocking: skip the early return when the file mode is wrong.

The content comparison at Line 82 returns before chmod. If a wrapper exists with correct content but a non-executable mode, the function returns a wrapper that Chrome cannot start. The current write path always sets 0o755, so this needs an external mode change to trigger. Add the mode check only if you want the function to be self-healing.

Update

Matching POSIX wrappers now recover executable permissions without a content rewrite.

Addressed

  • Wrapper executable mode at src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.ts — createWrapperScript checks matching wrappers for mode 0755 and repairs an incorrect mode before returning. The regression test proves that content and mtime remain unchanged while mode 0644 becomes 0755. — 73b3eac

Update

Addressed seven review items, kept one evidence-backed non-change, and pushed the verified follow-up.

Addressed

  • Installed artifact verification at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts — Missing manifests, launchers, and CLI bundles now record bounded verifier failures. Required and forbidden tarball entries report independently. — 73b3eac
  • Cross-platform subprocesses at .github/workflows/install-hygiene.yml — npm and installed launcher calls preserve space-containing command and argument values without Windows shell joining. The scheduled install-hygiene matrix now installs the pinned dependencies required by the verifier. — 73b3eac
  • Launch and wrapper regressions at src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.test.ts — Added direct non-native launch coverage, POSIX wrapper mode recovery without content rewriting, and a bounded isolated setup fixture with termination diagnostics. — 73b3eac
  • Validation — Focused tests, build, smoke, local and published clean-install verification, both type checks, the full repository check, runtime diagnostics, the intent scan, and diff validation passed on the pushed tree. — 73b3eac

Not changed

  • Chrome MCP probe stdin — Direct reproduction showed spawnSync closes piped stdin without explicit input, and both clean-install modes completed well below the existing timeout, so the probe behavior was left unchanged.

  • Wrapper executable mode at src/utils/claudeInChrome/launch.ts:85 — The current focused regression confirms that matching POSIX wrappers recover mode 0755 without changing content or modification time.
  • Validation — The 26 focused tests, local and published clean-install verification, build, smoke, both type checks, runtime diagnostics, scope checks, and diff validation passed on the current head.

Not changed

  • Chrome MCP probe at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts:421 — Both current clean-install runs reached the Chrome MCP application entrypoint and completed within the existing subprocess bound, so the reported timeout path still does not reproduce.

I found an issue that needs to be addressed before this is ready.

Findings

  • [P2] Keep published Chrome verification inside the installed artifact boundary
    scripts/verify-clean-install.ts:308
    The runtime change correctly fixes #2128, but the new published-package assertion does not exercise that fix. checkInstalledChromeEntrypoint() derives expectedEntrypoint from the installed manifest, then passes that expected answer into resolveClaudeInChromeLaunches() imported from the checkout and compares the result back to the same value. In --published mode the installed-bundle marker check is disabled, and the later direct openclaude --claude-in-chrome-mcp probe bypasses the installed bundle's normal setupClaudeInChrome() producer. It therefore proves only that the installed launcher accepts the hidden flag—not that normal startup generated valid native-host wrapper or dynamic MCP targets.

    This is a concrete false positive rather than a hypothetical coverage preference: the verifier reports both Chrome checks as passing for published npm 0.29.1 even though that release's own setup still generates the nonexistent dist/cli.js targets from #2128. The root cause is that the check crosses artifact boundaries: it combines the installed package's files with the PR checkout's fixed resolver, so it validates the expected implementation instead of the implementation actually shipped.

    Please keep this regression assertion artifact-local. Exercise or inspect the installed bundle's normal setup path and verify that both its generated MCP argv and persisted native-host wrapper target an existing packaged launcher; a regression fixture representing the released dist/cli.js behavior should make the check fail. Avoid using the checkout resolver, a bundle string marker, or a direct hidden-flag launch as substitutes for that producer-to-consumer path. If the scheduled published job is intentionally limited to registry/install hygiene, remove its unsupported Chrome success assertion and keep the load-bearing packaged-setup regression gate in the release/tarball path instead. Either approach preserves the launcher policy introduced here while fixing the verifier's root artifact-provenance error.

Update

Replaced the cross-artifact Chrome assertions with an installed-bundle producer-to-consumer check.

Addressed

  • Installed Chrome setup at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts:445 — Tarball verification now runs the installed CLI's normal Chrome init-only setup, reads the launch configuration produced by that bundle, and inspects the persisted native-host wrapper. Both Chrome targets must share an existing installed launcher, and the released dist/cli.js fixture is rejected. — be2e215
  • Published hygiene scope at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts — Registry mode retains install-output, install-script, version, and full-bundle boot checks without claiming Chrome setup correctness for an already-published artifact. — be2e215
  • Verifier isolation and completion at src/utils/claudeInChrome/setup.ts:85 — Chrome setup verification uses sandboxed Windows profile paths, skips persistent native-host registration, compares exact platform-escaped wrapper commands, normalizes Windows shim paths, and waits for wrapper creation before init-only shutdown. — be2e215
  • Validation — Thirty-one focused tests, local tarball and published-package verification, build, smoke, both type checks, runtime diagnostics, the intent scan, scope and contract checks, baseline proof, and diff validation passed on the pushed tree. — be2e215

Update

Chrome clean-install verification now tolerates malformed debug lines and validates wrappers with the production renderer.

Addressed

  • Setup receipt parsing at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts:311 — Malformed marker-bearing lines are skipped so a later valid setup receipt is still accepted. The regression also preserves null when no valid receipt exists. — 28b71b3
  • Wrapper renderer parity at scripts/verify-clean-install.ts:330 — Persisted installed wrappers are compared with the canonical renderer output, including Windows percent escaping and invalid-argument handling. Focused tests, type checking, build, and tarball install verification pass. — 28b71b3
