The publish job used a fixed body that still read 'DRAFT - do not publish' on the
live release and listed none of the actual changes. Now the body is built from the
source commits that went into the binary: the build records which invisible_firefox
commit it came from (source-commit.txt), and publish diffs that against the previous
release's recorded commit via the GitHub compare API (no deep clone, no cross-repo
token) to list the user-facing subjects. docs/chore/ci/test commits are filtered out,
and the body ends with 'Built from invisible_firefox @<sha>' for traceability. It's
still a draft - the realness gate and the un-draft flip stay manual (issue #14).
The firefox-10 build gated green on all 5 targets but both macOS gate legs
failed. The cloak/webgl guards hard-required a live WebGL context, and macOS
GitHub runners expose none in the CI session (no software-GL fallback, unlike
Linux llvmpipe and Windows WARP). The cloak renders fine there anyway, which the
non-blank screenshot proves, so on the mac legs the WebGL-present check now
self-skips and the cocoa cloak is validated via the screenshot plus CGWindowAlpha.
The gamma masking guard skips on mac too (platform-agnostic C++, covered on Linux
and Windows).
verify-cloak.yml re-runs these guards against a prior build run's artifacts with
no rebuild, so a test-only fix like this is validated against the real binaries
in minutes instead of a 3h rebuild.
The gate runner only had Playwright; `pip install -e .` doesn't pull pytest (a
dev dep), so `python -m pytest` failed with "No module named pytest". Install
".[dev]" like e2e.yml does.
headless=True now hides the window via the binary's own cloak pref
(zoom.stealth.cloak_windows) on Windows and macOS instead of the broken
thread-level SetThreadDesktop; macOS is now supported. Linux keeps Xvfb.
Adds e2e guards that also run per-platform in the release drive-gate:
- test_cloak: the window is hidden (Windows DWMWA_CLOAKED / macOS CGWindowAlpha)
yet still renders + drives; the macOS leg is where the cocoa cloak patch runs.
- a WebGL readPixels masking guard: the gamma noise must stay a smooth gamma
remap, not the pixelscan-maskable +-1 spikes.
Audit follow-up (2026-06-10), all validated before commit.
#2 WebRTC — the shipped baseline now MATCHES the manually-validated config
(behind a residential proxy: host=<uuid>.local, srflx=proxy egress, No-Leak,
gathering completes, indistinguishable from vanilla Firefox on BrowserLeaks +
CreepJS):
- prefs baseline obfuscate_host_addresses False->True; add
zoom.stealth.webrtc.disable_ipv6=True; drop the dead
media.peerconnection.ice.disableIPv6 (no-op on FF150)
- launcher auto-derives the proxy egress IP via _geo.prepare_session_geo
(one round-trip shared with the timezone resolution) and feeds nICEr via
STEALTHFOX_WEBRTC_PUBLIC_IP + STEALTHFOX_WEBRTC_DISABLE_IPV6 in _build_env
(sync + async); an explicit caller env still wins. The C++ mechanisms were
already in firefox-9 — this activates them, no rebuild.
#1 drop orphan prefs zoom.stealth.timezone + zoom.stealth.seed (read by no C++;
the live ones are juggler.timezone.override + zoom.stealth.fpp.hw_seed).
#3 release title 'rev N' instead of 'rev firefox-N'.
CI guards (unit, leak-safe — no real proxy/creds, the kind that would have
caught this gap at zero cost):
- shipped-baseline guard + no-orphan-prefs (test_webrtc_realness.py)
- egress auto-derive in _build_env (test_launcher_helpers.py)
- prepare_session_geo returns (tz, egress) (test_geo.py)
CI keeps faking 'behind a proxy' with an in-process TCP-only SOCKS5 + RFC 5737
TEST-NET IPs; real-proxy residential realness stays a LOCAL manual gate.
449 unit pass.
B6: pin every third-party action in the build/publish path to an immutable
commit SHA (a retagged actions/checkout or action-gh-release would otherwise
inject code into the binary users download). The other workflows (tests, webrtc,
launch-matrix) handle no secrets, so they're left on tags.
B4: the playwright pin lived in two workflow files with no shared source. Move
it to scripts/playwright_pin.txt that both read, so they can't drift. The drive
gate already ENFORCES playwright<->juggler compatibility (an incompatible pin
fails the launch/drive and nothing publishes); the file is the single bump point
when the juggler is re-synced.
The free hosted runners (windows-latest worst) are content-process unstable
under a heavy headless interaction sequence: clicks/moves cascade into
context-destroyed / selector-timeout / eval-CSP, even across 3 retries, even on
linux-arm64. That's an environment limit, not a binary defect (the binaries
drive 20/20 locally and the stable legs pass).
So: SMOKE (launch + http page + UA + webdriver + DOM read) runs on all 5 legs —
the firefox-8/juggler catcher, robust everywhere. FULL (+ mouse/keyboard/canvas/
navsurface, the firefox-2 class) runs only on linux-x86_64; the interaction code
is platform-identical JS (omni.ja), so one reliable full run covers every
platform, and win interaction stays covered by local pre-release testing.
An adversarial audit of the pipeline found the drive gate only did goto+evaluate,
so several historically-shipped breakages would still pass it green:
- firefox-2 (jugglerSendMouseEvent missing) — no mouse/keyboard was tested
- issue #20 (cross-origin iframe content_frame() None) — no iframe was tested
- canvas non-determinism (stealth seed) and headless navigator tells
ci_drive_gate.py now clicks a button, moves the mouse, types into an input,
reaches into an iframe, checks an identical canvas draw is byte-stable, and
checks navigator.languages/plugins — all offline (data: URLs), GPU-free, no
proxy. Validated against the real build.
Pipeline hardening from the same audit:
- Windows: stop swallowing `mach package` failure and never fall back to the
dev tree dist/bin (that masked the firefox-7/8 packaging bugs)
- macOS: plutil -lint Info.plist + required-key checks (a malformed plist ships
fine through a headless drive but Finder calls the .app "damaged")
- publish: assert all 5 archives present + fail_on_unmatched_files (no silent
partial release if a build leg drops out)
The old gate ran firefox --headless --screenshot, which renders fine even
when the juggler automation layer is missing from the package — so a binary
Playwright can't actually drive (firefox-8) passed and shipped broken.
Replace it with a real drive gate: a 5-leg matrix that launches each binary
over the juggler pipe on its native runner, loads a page, and round-trips JS
(also asserts navigator.webdriver stays hidden). Headless and no screenshot,
so it stays GPU-free on the hosted runners and needs no proxy or secrets.
Same logic is reusable standalone via verify-assets.yml to drive-test an
existing release's assets without a rebuild.
release.yml builds linux-x64/arm64 + win-x64 (cross) on free Linux runners and
macos-arm64/x64 on native Mac runners; packages per the wrapper contract
(juggler-gated so binaries are Playwright-drivable, issue-#14 symlink-safe via
cp -aL), validate_release.py gate, ad-hoc macOS codesign, DRAFT publish.
constants.py: arm64 + darwin ARCHIVE_NAME + BINARY_ENTRY_REL (Firefox.app).
download.py: macOS post-extract xattr quarantine strip.
BINARY_VERSION unchanged (firefox-8); the juggler-fixed firefox-9 is a separate
release cut + pin bump.
