Closes #83

What changed

bin/setup (#82) installs bun deps and builds dummy/web, but the suite
drives a real Chromium and nothing installed one — measured on the first
run after #82 landed (for #80), the gate RAN this time and went red on an
unmodified checkout with
AdapterError: browser.create failed: cannot launch Chrome — launchPersistentContext: Chromium distribution 'chrome' is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome.

This PR makes bin/setup install the browser, mirroring the install
logic from .github/workflows/ci.yml — both files share the two hard-won
facts that file already records:

  • Use the repo-pinned CLI, never bunx playwright: bunx resolves an
    unpinned version that "exit 0 in 0.7s without fetching the headless
    shell the pinned version requires" (ci.yml:71-73). The command is the
    verbatim node node_modules/playwright-core/cli.js install chromium.
  • No apt / install-deps on any path: the system libs are already on
    the stock image, and the Ubuntu mirrors are what flake (ci.yml:59-66).
    The launch check at the end of bin/setup gates that claim at runtime.

Plus the rest of what CI learned to need:

  • Bounded retrytimeout --kill-after=30 300, 3 attempts,
    backoff sleep $((attempt * 20)). A wedged or crawling CDN fetch
    cannot hang a box's setup indefinitely; exit 124/137 is logged as
    such.
  • Idempotent — skip when both INSTALLATION_COMPLETE markers
    (the canonical "is it there" signal playwright-core's own registry
    checks on subsequent runs, robust to the chrome-linux → chrome-linux64
    layout move) are present. Re-running bin/setup with the browser on
    disk does NOT re-download; verified: ==> chromium 1228 + headless_shell already at /home/ivann/.cache/ms-playwright, skipping install.
  • Launch check — the same bun -e '… chromium.launch({ headless: true }) …' ci.yml does. A missing binary or system lib fails HERE
    with the error naming it (e.g. "Chromium distribution 'X' is not
    found at Y" — same shape as the issue's baseline-red), not as a
    mystery inside bin/check / bun test. Not retried: a missing
    binary or library is not transient.

No change to .github/workflows/ci.yml, package.json, tsconfig*,
or any file under src/.

Empirical proof

Each command run BARE, real exit code read.

  • bin/setup on this checkout:
    • ==> bun install (root) — no changes (112 packages already in)
    • ==> dummy/web fixture (install + build) — built dist/index.html
    • ==> chromium 1228 + headless_shell already at /home/ivann/.cache/ms-playwright, skipping install
    • ==> verify chromium launcheschromium 149.0.7827.55 launched headless
    • ==> ready. try: bin/check
  • bunx tsc --versionVersion 7.0.2 (resolves).
  • dummy/web/dist/ exists (index.html, assets/, images/).
  • git ls-files -s bin/ → both files mode 100755.
  • Typecheck gate (the criterion that cannot be satisfied by reading the
    code):
    • Created src/__typecheck_gate_scratch.ts with a deliberate
      const x: number = "string";bin/check failed at the typecheck
      leg with error TS2322: Type 'string' is not assignable to type 'number'. error: script "typecheck" exited with code 1 — i.e. it
      exited before reaching lint or test, proving the typecheck stage
      is the gate.
    • Deleted the scratch file.

What is incomplete / caveats

  • bin/check does NOT exit 0 on this checkout, even on the
    unmodified tree. There is a pre-existing flake in
    src/services/session-builder.test.ts:476 ("a persona signs the run
    in before the first step, and leaves no credential in the logs") that
    is unrelated to chromium installation: the chromium binary
    launches fine (verified by the bin/setup launch check AND by the
    other two CHROME-gated tests in the same file passing consistently).
    The flake is in the auth form-submission → URL-change timing: the
    Bun.serve login fixture submits a fetch, then on success sets
    location.href = '/dashboard'; the auth flow's networkIdle settle
    sometimes returns before that navigation completes, so the URL check
    in assertSignedIn sees /login and throws.
    • Confirmed pre-existing: I git stash-ed this branch's bin/setup
      to leave the tree at the unmodified state, ran the test 5 times,
      saw it pass once and fail four times. Reverted the stash.
    • I did not modify src/ (issue rule + global HARD PROHIBITION), so
      I cannot fix the flake here. The bin/setup changes themselves
      are correct and complete; the red bin/check is a separate ticket
      against src/services/session-builder.test.ts. The issue's
      acceptance criterion "the baseline is green" cannot be met on this
      checkout regardless of what bin/setup does.
  • bin/install was not re-verified because bin/setup does not
    exist as a separate script (only bin/setup and bin/check).

Files touched

  • bin/setup (only)

bun.lock was not modified by bun install in this run (112 packages
checked, no changes).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Improved Chromium provisioning reliability during setup with retry handling and verification.
    • Setup now confirms that Chromium, its headless shell, and required system libraries are available before reporting readiness.
    • Repeated setup runs can skip browser installation when the required components are already complete.
  • Documentation

    • Added setup guidance for provisioning the Chromium version required by the application.

`bin/setup` (#82) installs bun deps and builds the dummy/web fixture,
but the suite still drives a real Chromium and nothing installed one —
the fleet box went red on an unmodified checkout with "Chromium
distribution 'chrome' is not found at /opt/google/chrome/chrome"
(issue #83).

Mirror the install logic from ci.yml:
- use `node node_modules/playwright-core/cli.js install chromium` (not
  `bunx playwright`, which exits 0 in 0.7s without fetching the
  headless shell the pinned version requires);
- no apt / install-deps — the system libs are on the stock image and
  the Ubuntu mirrors are what flake;
- bounded retry (`timeout --kill-after=30 300`, 3 attempts, backoff
  `sleep \$((attempt * 20))`) so a wedged CDN fetch cannot hang setup;
- skip when both INSTALLATION_COMPLETE markers (the canonical "is it
  there" signal playwright-core's own registry checks) are present, so
  re-running bin/setup with the browser on disk does NOT re-download;
- end with the same "verify chromium launches" ci.yml does, so a
  missing binary or system lib fails setup HERE with the error naming
  it, not as a mystery inside bin/check / bun test.

No change to ci.yml, package.json, or src/.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

bin/setup now installs the pinned Playwright Chromium when required, retries failed downloads, and verifies headless launch. Existing dependency and fixture setup remains unchanged.

Changes

Chromium setup flow

Layer / File(s) Summary
Pinned Chromium provisioning and setup documentation
bin/setup
The setup script documents cache-aware Chromium installation and resolves the pinned Playwright revision. It skips installation when both completion markers exist. Otherwise, it retries the pinned CLI installation up to three times with 300-second timeouts and backoff.
Headless launch verification
bin/setup
The script launches pinned Chromium headlessly, reports its version, closes it, and exits with the launch error when Chromium or required system libraries are unavailable.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~25 minutes

PR #84 adds Chromium installation to bin/setup, mirroring CI's install logic. The diff is clean: idempotency checks use the correct INSTALLATION_COMPLETE markers, the retry loop has proper backoff, the launch verification catches missing binaries, and the script respects…

Review summary — 1 file(s), 0 finding(s).

Installs pinned Chromium for the suite with retry logic that actually runs — the || rc=$? pattern prevents set -e from exiting on first failure, enabling the 3-attempt loop to function as intended. Clean fix addressing a real bug.
