fix(cef): extend resize repaint pulses past capturer size adoption

[bnema]

Problem

After a resize, CEF's OSR video capturer letterboxes frames until it captures one at the new size. On static pages this can take up to about 1s, which shows black bars.

Fix

The delayed resize pulses now cover 400ms instead of 48ms:

• 16 and 48ms: full viewport resync, as before (NotifyScreenInfoChanged, WasResized, Invalidate).
• 96, 160, 250 and 400ms: Invalidate(PET_VIEW) only. This forces a new capture without reallocating the CEF surface ID on every pulse during drag resizes.

A newer resize still cancels older pulses, and pulses for a stale browser host are skipped.

Dependency

This pairs with bnema/purego-cef2gtk#47 (released in v0.11.3), which crops letterboxed frames to their content rect. This PR bumps purego-cef2gtk to v0.11.3.

Tests

• Unit tests check the pulse delays, the call sequence, coalescing, and the stale-host guards.
• go test ./internal/infrastructure/cef/... and make lint pass.
• Verified manually together with the purego-cef2gtk change.

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features

  • Added floating browser panes that can be opened, hidden, and used with named sessions.
  • Improved omnibox ghost completion based on visible suggestions and selected results.
  • Custom performance settings are now normalized to supported values when saved.
  • Media diagnostics can be retrieved directly, including when no results are available.
  • System-view asset and favicon handling now applies shared path, size, and request checks.

• Improvements

  • Popups that are ready before their host is attached appear immediately.
  • Browser viewport repainting responds to resizing with additional updates.
  • Navigation can be used through a focused navigation interface.
  • WebUI message registration uses a consistent set of message types and callbacks.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

This pull request adds application ports for navigation and WebUI messages, centralizes system-view request and asset policies, and updates media diagnostics and custom configuration handling. It also changes floating panes, Vim mode coordination, omnibox suggestions, native popup readiness, and CEF resize repaint scheduling.

Changes

Tests cover nil and populated diagnostics results.

Custom performance configuration

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Normalize, clamp, and save custom values internal/application/usecase/save_webui_config.go, internal/application/usecase/save_webui_config_test.go, internal/infrastructure/config/profile.go, internal/infrastructure/config/webui_gateway.go	Clamps custom performance values in the use case and removes gateway-level clamping. Tests check custom and balanced profiles.

Crash report string formatting

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Quote report metadata internal/bootstrap/crash_report.go	Uses Go quoted-string formatting for selected crash report metadata and the issue-template session ID.

Engine runtime activity capability

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Runtime activity port and engine internal/application/port/runtime_activity.go, internal/infrastructure/cef/engine.go	Adds an optional runtime activity provider and a helper that returns its activity when available. CEF declares the interface implementation.
Residency activity checks internal/ui/runtime_residency.go	Uses the helper for runtime quiescence checks and labels activity subscriptions engine-activity.

Shared system-view policy

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Policy helpers and tests internal/infrastructure/webutil/systemview_policy.go, internal/infrastructure/webutil/systemview_policy_test.go	Adds shared helpers and tests for asset paths and reads, request trust, dumb URL hosts, and favicon request parsing.

WebKit scheme handler integration internal/infrastructure/webkit/scheme_handler.go	Uses the same shared helpers for assets, request trust, and favicon parsing.

CEF resize repaint pulses

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Schedule and validate repaint pulses internal/infrastructure/cef/webview_viewport.go, internal/infrastructure/cef/webview_viewport_test.go	Adds six delayed pulses. The first two perform viewport resyncs; the remaining four invalidate the pet view. Tests cover coalescing and stale or cleared hosts.

Floating pane sessions

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Registry and app integration internal/ui/floating_session_registry.go, internal/ui/floating_session_registry_test.go, internal/ui/app.go	Adds registry iteration and lookup methods. App initialization, pane lookup, tab reattachment, shutdown, and runtime configuration use the registry.
Create and release pane sessions internal/ui/floating_pane.go	Adds overlay allocation and visibility helpers, session creation and reuse, and release behavior for pane, WebView, and omnibox resources.
Pane navigation, focus, and resize internal/ui/floating_pane.go	Adds omnibox navigation, focus synchronization, resize watching, popup ownership lookup, close operations, and open or toggle operations.

Vim mode UI coordination

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~60 minutes

Change: Other

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 234d1

The new resize repaint pulses rely on a companion renderer fix that crops letterboxed frames. That fix has not yet been released and pulled into this branch, so letterboxed frames may still appear after a resize. Release the purego-cef2gtk change and bump the dependency before merging, as the PR itself requires.

Security Architecture Review

Security architecture risk: 🔵 Low · up to 234d1

The shared browser checks appear to preserve existing protections, and no introduced security issue was verified. The broader contract and configuration changes still merit design review because coverage is incomplete.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The relevant exposure is the local browser’s private system-view APIs and saved profile configuration across its two rendering engines; no change to service topology or infrastructure authority is evidenced.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — CEF and WebKit still check requester trust before private system-view or favicon handling. Shared host extraction does not itself grant trust: each handler retains a host allowlist.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• inferred — Moving the performance bounds out of the persistence gateway makes continued enforcement depend on writers using the validating use case. The reviewed WebUI handler path does so, but coverage does not establish every possible gateway caller.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Confirm that every configuration writer passes through normalization and validation, or retain bounds checking at the persistence boundary so a future caller cannot save unbounded performance settings.

_{A rabbit checked the panes at night,
And watched six pulses flash in flight.
New paths guide pages where they roam,
While message names lead signals home.
The carrot waits; the tests all pass,
The rabbit hops through fields of grass.}
