fix(browser): Chrome close no longer waits out the 30 s timeout (#1140) - #1235
Chrome's shutdown waits on the CloudSyncedFolderChecker startup task, a Windows cloud-files COM call that never answers here. context.close() therefore runs until gflow's 30 s close_context_bounded timeout force-kills the browser. Re-measured with a bare Playwright probe (scripts/dev/spike_disable_features_merge.py, throwaway profiles, real Chrome):
New finding: headless real Chrome hangs too. #1140 had expected headless launches to be safe, so this PR covers them as well.
Fix
browser_manager.disable_features_args() reads Playwright's disabledFeatures list from its driver bundle (coreBundle.js), appends CloudSyncedFolderChecker, and returns one switch. Chrome keeps only the last --disable-features switch, and user args come after Playwright's defaults, so ours wins and still carries Playwright's list. The result is cached per process. If the list cannot be parsed as plain string literals, or the bundle no longer builds the switch from it, the helper returns nothing, which is today's behaviour.
ignore_default_args was not used: it matches whole arg strings, so removing Playwright's switch would need the same parsed list plus per-site ignore lists, and would buy nothing.
Launch sites covered (every launch_persistent_context in src/):FlowApiClient._persistent_context_kwargs, UiAutomationTransport, login_launch_kwargs (both sign-in strategies), auth/renew.py, both auth/verification.py probes, auth/cookies.py, and the three experimental transports. A static sweep test fails if a future launch site skips the helper.
Not covered, by design:
auth/real_chrome.py passive-capture login spawns Chrome directly, without Playwright, so it has no Playwright list to merge. The user closes that window, and its close was not measured.
Dev and debug scripts under scripts/ are not shipped.
Tests
Red first: the new tests failed on ImportError (no helper). The sweep failed on exactly the 6 headless modules before the second commit.
Unit tests: one merged switch keeps Playwright's features and adds ours; an unreadable list (missing file, list no longer used for the switch, a non-literal entry, an empty list) gives no switch. A pin test parses the installed Playwright (1.61.1), so an upgrade that moves the list fails loudly.
Gates: hygiene, doc links, website PII, website mirror, council memory and plugin skills are all green; ruff check and format are clean; pyright reports 0 errors. Full offline suite: 6062 passed, 4 failed. Two of the four were exact-args pins this change updates. The third was the profile-lease allowlist for the new probe (it uses temp profiles only). The fourth was test_packaging (uv build exit 2 under load); it passes in isolation. After the updates: 2956 passed in the affected dirs.
Step 1b mirror axes: N/A. No CLI command, option, help text, exit code or error string changed. The MCP twin shares FlowApiClient, and its e2e is below.
exits_11_fast passes at 18.58 s against its 20 s bound, a thin margin. The ~6 s 404 detection plus browser start-up remain.
Summary by CodeRabbit
Bug Fixes
Fixed a Windows issue that could delay Chrome shutdown by about 30 seconds after browser-backed commands.
The fix applies across browser-backed workflows, including sign-in and session renewal. Existing browser feature settings are preserved; if they cannot be read, the adjustment is skipped.
Improved handling of timezone aliases that cannot be resolved on Linux, ensuring consent is requested when no fallback timezone is available.

Passive-capture login (auth/real_chrome.py::_build_chrome_args, bare subprocess) launched Chrome without the switch

Fixed: an AST sweep checks every launch_persistent_context( call for *disable_features_args() in args= or **login_launch_kwargs(...). Ablating one of auth/verification.py's two launches fails at auth/verification.py:319. The subprocess arg builder is covered by #1's test

Replace the bundle parse with a hard-coded tuple
Deliberately not done. This is a design call: the playwright version pin plus test_installed_playwright_list_still_parses already fail loudly on a move

Named blocker: a real gflow auth login sign-in with the new switch on the sign-in launch needs a person at the window. The owner will run it. The probe's login arm shows the switch arrives with navigator.webdriver=false.
Fix-round live check (ddd674d6, denon82, GFLOW_CLI_DEBUG_TRACEBACK=1, lease held alone): gflow credits user --profile denon82 --json gave rc=0 in 9.1 s, with context_close_error 0, force-close 0, UnexpectedError 0, and the merged switch in the launch line.
Gates: all ten green, full suite 6072 passed, 0 failed.
…ses fast (#1140)
Headed Chrome's shutdown waits on the CloudSyncedFolderChecker startup task,
whose Windows cloud-files COM call never answers on an affected machine, so
context.close() hit gflow's 30 s close timeout on every browser-backed command.
Chrome honours only the last --disable-features switch and Playwright already
passes its own list, so a second switch would re-enable Playwright's. The new
browser_manager.disable_features_args() reads Playwright's list from its driver
bundle, appends CloudSyncedFolderChecker and returns ONE switch; when the list
cannot be read as plain string literals it returns nothing (today's behaviour).
Applied at every headed launch: FlowApiClient, the standalone
UiAutomationTransport, and login_launch_kwargs (both sign-in strategies).
Headless launches (renew, verification, cookies, experimental transports) are
not affected by the hang and are left unchanged.
Refs #1233
The probe measured headless real Chrome (channel="chrome", held 3 s) waiting
31.3 s on close, the same as headed, so the headless sites are affected after
all: renew, both verification probes, the cookie read, and the experimental
transports now pass disable_features_args() as well.
A static sweep replaces the per-site check: every module that calls
launch_persistent_context must pass the switch directly or through
login_launch_kwargs (red on the previous commit for exactly these 6 modules).
The probe gains headless and headless-merged arms.
The change adds a helper that combines Playwright’s disabled-feature list with CloudSyncedFolderChecker. Browser launch paths use the combined switch when the list can be read. The change also adds a Chrome probe and updates timezone consent tests.
Changes: Merged Chrome feature switch
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Build and validate the merged switch src/gflow_cli/browser_manager.py, tests/test_browser_manager.py
disable_features_args() reads the active engine’s disabled-feature list, adds CloudSyncedFolderChecker, and returns no switch when the list cannot be read or validated. Tests cover parsing, fallback behavior, cache retries, and launch-site wiring.
Apply the switch to browser launch paths src/gflow_cli/api/..., src/gflow_cli/auth/*, tests/api/test_client_launch_kwargs.py, tests/dev/test_recording_client.py, tests/scripts/test_spike_profile_lease.py, scripts/dev/spike_disable_features_merge.py, docs/superpowers/spikes/*, CHANGELOG.md
API and authentication browser launches include the helper’s arguments. The subprocess login path adds --disable-features=CloudSyncedFolderChecker. Tests update expected arguments. The probe compares Chrome launch configurations, and the spike report records close-time measurements and limitations.
Timezone consent tests
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Make timezone consent tests deterministic tests/test_telemetry_notice.py
The timezone mapping test uses a stub instead of relying on installed timezone data. A new test checks the consent result for an unavailable timezone alias with no POSIX fallback.
ffroliva/gflow-cli#1205: Both PRs update timezone tests to avoid dependence on the runner’s timezone database and cover an unavailable timezone alias.

- auth/real_chrome.py: the bare-subprocess passive login now passes a lone
--disable-features=CloudSyncedFolderChecker (no Playwright list exists there).
- disable_features_args: a non-UTF-8 bundle degrades to no switch instead of
crashing every launch; only successful reads are cached, so a transient lock
is retried; the bundle is resolved through active_engine(), so patchright's
own list is merged rather than Playwright's (shared _engine_package_dir(),
also used by installed_chromium_version()).
- The launch-site sweep is per call (AST) instead of per file.
- Wording: the hang is headed and headless. The probe states its six arms and
exits 1 when the helper returns nothing.

…ne database
Ubuntu 24.04's tzdata 2026e moves backward links (Atlantic/Faeroe, Portugal,
Eire, Iceland, Poland) into tzdata-legacy, which the CI runners do not install.
ZoneInfo then refuses the alias, consent_region() fails closed, and the
Atlantic/Faeroe row (expected False) went red on every PR, develop included;
the three legacy rows expecting True passed for the wrong reason.
The mapping test now stubs the zone lookup, so every row checks the
name-to-region mapping on any machine. A separate test pins the fail-closed
behaviour for an alias the installed zone database cannot load.
