The chrome-service stack ran `playwright launch-server`, which creates
ephemeral browser contexts per `connect()`. Despite the encrypted PVC
mounted at /profile, no chromium user-data ever persisted — only npm
cache + fontconfig. Logging in via noVNC was effectively a no-op.
Refactor:
- Replace launch-server with direct chromium (TCP CDP on :9223 internal),
fronted by a Python HTTP+WS bridge on :9222 that rewrites the Host
header to bypass Chrome's hardcoded DNS-rebinding protection (no
`--remote-allow-hosts` flag exists in stock Chrome 130; verified by
binary string grep). Bridge also forces Connection: close on HTTP
responses so Node ws opens a fresh TCP for the WS upgrade rather than
trying to reuse the dead keep-alive socket.
- Add `--user-data-dir=/profile/chromium-data` so cookies/localStorage
actually persist on the encrypted PVC.
- New snapshot-server sidecar (stdlib python HTTP) serves
GET /api/snapshot at chrome.viktorbarzin.me/api/snapshot,
bearer-token-gated by the existing api_bearer_token.
- New chrome-service-snapshot-harvester CronJob (hourly) connects via
CDP, dumps storage_state() (cookies + localStorage), writes atomically
to /profile/snapshots/storage-state.json.
- NetworkPolicy: TCP/9222 (was :3000), TCP/8088 added for traefik.
Caller migration:
- f1-stream: `chromium.connect(ws_url)` → `chromium.connect_over_cdp(cdp_url)`,
env var CHROME_WS_URL → CHROME_CDP_URL. CHROME_WS_TOKEN dropped (no
longer used by code; ExternalSecret kept for symmetry with the snapshot
endpoint).
Dev-box side (out of scope for this commit — see ~/.config/systemd/user/):
- playwright-mcp.service flips to `--isolated --storage-state=...`
so per-Claude-Code-session ephemeral contexts seed from the snapshot.
- playwright-snapshot-refresh.{service,timer} (hourly) pulls the
snapshot via the bearer-gated HTTPS endpoint.
Docs updated:
- docs/architecture/chrome-service.md — new architecture diagram + wire protocol.
- docs/runbooks/chrome-service-snapshot.md — day-2 ops (refresh, rotation,
failure modes, restore).
- stacks/chrome-service/README.md — connect_over_cdp recipe.
