fix(server): preview_navigate returns the committed page when load is slow - #26127
preview_navigate failed with Preview automation navigate timed out after 15000ms. on pages whose document had committed and rendered but whose load event was held back by a slow subresource. A preview_status call made right after showed the target URL and title, so the agent was told a navigation had failed when it had actually landed. Reproduced on main with a local page that serves its HTML at once while one <img> stalls for 20 s. With the default timeout, navigate failed after 15000 ms (and after 4000 ms with timeoutMs: 4000), while preview_status reported the target page with loading: true.
Change
ServerBrowser.navigate called page.goto(url, { waitUntil: "load" }), so a late load became a hard timeout. It now goes to waitUntil: "commit" first, keeping the existing error mapping, so a navigation that never commits, a network error, or a download still fails as before. It then waits for the requested readiness (load or domcontentloaded) within the rest of the same timeout budget. If that wait times out, navigate returns the tab status, which reports loading: true. Only a timeout from that wait is tolerated; other errors, such as the page closing, still fail. preview_open on a new tab already behaves this way, and preview_open on an existing tab goes through the same helper. readiness: "none" is unchanged.
Because navigate now returns a page that may still be running script, the status title read is capped at 250 ms. page.title() runs on the renderer's main thread, so on a busy page the reply could take longer than the broker's 1 s grace, and the shared server preview host would be evicted instead of a status coming back. When the title does not answer in time, it is reported as null.
vp test run apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts: 32/32 pass. The new test navigate returns the committed page while its load event is still pending (idle renderer) fails on main with PreviewAutomationTimeoutError: Preview automation navigate timed out after 4000ms. and passes here. Its (busy renderer) case, where title() never answers, fails without the title cap with a broker timeout after 16 s and passes with it, returning title: null. navigate fails when the page never commits within its timeout passes on both and guards the hard-failure path.
vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), tests all pass.
This is a server-only fix with no visible surface. The proof is the red test above plus runtime transcripts of real MCP tool calls. Each side was a dev server built from its own checkout, used a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), and ran a Claude agent calling the dev server's preview_* tools against a synthetic page server.
The after transcript was recorded at 1f132e7, the navigate change before the title cap. The cap changes nothing on these pages, whose titles answer at once.
Environment: Linux x86_64, Chrome for Testing 156.0.8078.70 (server-installed).
Not checked: cannot-verify windows. The report came from the Windows desktop app. Desktop tabs are driven by this same ServerBrowser code, but no Windows run was possible here. Firefox and WebKit are not shipped, so they were not tested.
Model and harness: Claude Opus 5.5 (lead, tests, implementation) and GPT-6.1 Sol (review), run through T3 Code with Claude Code and Codex.
…#8732)
These tests reproduce #8732: preview_navigate rejects with
PreviewAutomationTimeoutError when the page has committed to the target
and only its load event is late. A guard keeps a navigation that never
commits failing with the timeout.

… slow
A page whose HTML arrives at once but whose subresource stalls made
preview_navigate fail with a timeout, though the tab already showed the
target. Navigate now goes to commit first with the existing error mapping,
then waits for the requested readiness within what is left of the same
budget, and returns the loading tab's status if only that wait times out.

Navigate now returns the committed page while load is pending, which reads
the title on a page that may still be running script. page.title() waits on
the renderer's main thread, so a busy page held the reply past the broker's
grace and evicted the shared server preview host. Cap the read at 250 ms and
report no title when it does not answer.

Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — The change returns committed pages when loading stalls and bounds status reads. An unresolved review concern about desktop status timing and shared-host disconnection needs confirmation against the new deadline protection.

Walkthrough
Navigation now waits for page commit before waiting for the requested load state. A readiness timeout does not fail navigation. Status reads limit title and desktop viewport waits to 250 ms.

Summary
Commit and readiness handling apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.ts, apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts
Navigation waits for commit, then waits for the requested load state using the remaining timeout. A readiness timeout does not fail navigation. Tests cover readiness timeouts after commit and before commit.
Bounded status reads apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.ts, apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts
Title and desktop viewport reads have a 250 ms limit. A timed-out title read yields no title; a timed-out viewport read uses the last measured size. Tests cover both timeout cases.

Explanation
Issue #8732 requires that preview_navigate not report failure for a navigation that completed, and that real failures still fail. At the reviewed head, ServerBrowser.navigate calls page.goto(url, { timeout, waitUntil: "commit" }). For load or domcontentloaded readiness, it then calls waitForLoadState with Math.max(1, timeout - elapsed). Only an Error named TimeoutError from that wait is suppressed. A commit timeout or any other error still reaches the existing error mapping. A suppressed readiness timeout returns the tab status, which reports the committed URL and loading: true. readiness: "none" still tracks the navigation and returns. The test navigate fails when the page never commits within its timeout covers the hard-failure path. This incremental review did not re-run tests; the conclusion rests on the diff and the reported test results.
Full details: Out of Scope Changes check
Explanation
The whole-PR diff changes ServerBrowser.ts and ServerBrowser.test.ts. The navigate change implements #8732. The withinStatusDeadline helper applies a 250 ms bound to the title read, as the PR description states. It also applies the same bound to the desktop viewport read in statusWithTitle. On timeout, that read falls back to tab.desktopViewport, which can be stale until the background measurement finishes. The code comment ties this bound to the same broker-grace reason. The viewport bound supports the status path that the navigate change exposes, so it is connected to the objective. The PR description does not mention the viewport bound or its fallback. This is a documentation gap, not an unrelated change. The related PR #23564 and UsageService work are not in this diff.

Run the busy-renderer case with controlled timers.
The busy case leaves page.title() pending, so statusWithTitle waits for its native 250 ms timer. The page and navigation methods are mocks, not subprocess or network fixtures. The it.live exception does not apply.
Use it.effect with fake native timers. Start the broker invocation, advance the timer by 250 ms, then await the result. TestClock.adjust alone is insufficient because the production code uses native setTimeout.

🤖 gpt-6.1-sol responding on behalf of Elliot
Prepared the test-only correction in #30699 targeting this branch, commit df614ee. The renderer cases use it.effect and controlled native timers; a promise signals when title() starts, after its timeout is registered, before advancing 250 ms. Production code and status assertions are unchanged. Both focused cases and the complete 32-test preview file pass; targeted lint/format and server typecheck pass. Leaving this original thread open until the follow-up is incorporated, since this account cannot push to the upstream branch.
The reason will be displayed to describe this comment to others. Learn more.
@ElliotDrel The described correction in #30699 addresses the timer-control concern. Waiting for the title-read signal before advancing native timers avoids advancing them before the timeout is registered.
This thread should remain open until the correction is incorporated into #26127. I have not independently verified commit df614ee090 or the reported check results.

FYI the related: #23564 adds a deadline around the complete request handler to prevent stalled operations from disconnecting the shared browser host. This PR’s nav readiness change and title reading cap look complementary. Flagging the overlap (manually) since both touch timeout handling in ServerBrowser.ts.
CI integration note for the proposed test correction #30699: its server shard fails in the inherited UsageService test for saved usage of a removed directory, with empty buckets for the August 1 fixture. This is the same live-clock/92-day-retention defect already fixed by merged #28603 (1280ccd). Please include that existing correction when updating this dependency branch. The navigation follow-up's 32 local preview tests pass; Codex found no issues and Macroscope approved it. I have kept the independent usage correction out of the test-only diff.

This supersedes the real-time wait in the busy-renderer test and completes the suggestion-form handoff described above. This is the focused correction from df614ee: await the title-read signal (the native deadline is registered before title() is called), advance the native timer by 250 ms only for the busy renderer, and restore timers through ensuring cleanup. No real wait is needed. Keep the original finding open until incorporated; #30699 remains the delivery PR in the meantime.

Reserve time for desktop status collection.
When readiness consumes the full timeout, statusWithTitle still awaits layoutSize for a desktop tab. A busy renderer can exhaust its one-second viewport timeout, then exhaust the additional 250 ms title deadline. The title deadline does not bound the complete status read. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
PreviewAutomationBroker allows only 1,000 ms beyond the request timeout. It then disconnects the shared host. This desktop path can therefore still return a hard timeout after a successful commit and interrupt other pending requests. (raw.githubusercontent.com)
Reserve a bounded budget for status collection, or use cached viewport data after readiness times out. Extend the existing renderer table with a desktop case that consumes the readiness budget and leaves viewport evaluation pending.

A busy desktop tab could spend the full 1 s viewport read and then the 250 ms title read in sequence, past the broker's 1 s grace. Overlap the two reads so the title adds no time.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
A busy desktop renderer could hold the status viewport measurement for its full 1 s timeout (longer when a measurement was already queued), using up the broker's 1 s grace after a navigate that spent its own budget. Status now waits at most 250 ms for each renderer read and falls back to the last measured viewport; the measurement still finishes in the background and refreshes it.

Open a healthy Browser tab, navigate to immediate HTML with a 20-second stalled image using timeoutMs:4000 and default readiness, immediately read status, then navigate back. Real web clients: Chromium, 1280×800, light theme, fresh synthetic data on each commit. The expanded message displays actual MCP observations.
Navigation that never commits and unrelated navigation errors were not exercised; this comparison covered the supplied stalled-subresource reproduction.
The desktop renderer status-read deadline was not exercised because this comparison used the web client.
Main's desktopStatusViewport (#32854) now picks when status remeasures a desktop tab; it runs under the 250 ms status deadline with the last measured viewport as the fallback. The test resizes the frame so status measures again.
Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5.5 <[email protected]>
On both commits: open a healthy preview tab; navigate with default readiness and timeoutMs: 4000 to immediate HTML/title with an image response stalled for 20 seconds; immediately read status; return to the healthy page. Then navigate to an endpoint that never sends headers (timeoutMs: 1000) and a socket-disconnecting endpoint, and recover. Finally read status while the renderer is busy; on desktop, resize the native window during the stall and read status again after recovery.
Both sides used fresh synthetic projects and databases, a free Replay (dev) thread waiting on a question, light theme, and 1280×800 initial windows. The fixture displays selected fields from actual MCP responses. The web scenario comparison exited 0: the navigation assertion failed on base and passed on head.
Desktop was rebuilt separately at each commit and run as the real Electron app with its bundled server. Base navigation timed out at 4016 ms despite its committed target. Head returned the target URL/title with loading: true at 4021 ms. During the renderer stall and resize from 1280×800 to 1200×760, base status took 6214 ms; head returned in 258 ms with title: null and cached viewport 1024×720. The next status measured 944×680. Never-committing navigation and ERR_EMPTY_RESPONSE failed on both commits, followed by successful recovery. Desktop stills exclude the animated top 80 pixels and were saved after identical captures 500 ms apart.

Problem
preview_navigatefailed withPreview automation navigate timed out after 15000ms.on pages whose document had committed and rendered but whoseloadevent was held back by a slow subresource. Apreview_statuscall made right after showed the target URL and title, so the agent was told a navigation had failed when it had actually landed. Reproduced on main with a local page that serves its HTML at once while one<img>stalls for 20 s. With the default timeout, navigate failed after 15000 ms (and after 4000 ms withtimeoutMs: 4000), whilepreview_statusreported the target page withloading: true.Change
ServerBrowser.navigatecalledpage.goto(url, { waitUntil: "load" }), so a lateloadbecame a hard timeout. It now goes towaitUntil: "commit"first, keeping the existing error mapping, so a navigation that never commits, a network error, or a download still fails as before. It then waits for the requested readiness (loadordomcontentloaded) within the rest of the same timeout budget. If that wait times out, navigate returns the tab status, which reportsloading: true. Only a timeout from that wait is tolerated; other errors, such as the page closing, still fail.preview_openon a new tab already behaves this way, andpreview_openon an existing tab goes through the same helper.readiness: "none"is unchanged.Because navigate now returns a page that may still be running script, the status title read is capped at 250 ms.
page.title()runs on the renderer's main thread, so on a busy page the reply could take longer than the broker's 1 s grace, and the shared server preview host would be evicted instead of a status coming back. When the title does not answer in time, it is reported asnull.Scope and approval

Verification
vp test run apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts: 32/32 pass. The new testnavigate returns the committed page while its load event is still pending (idle renderer)fails on main withPreviewAutomationTimeoutError: Preview automation navigate timed out after 4000ms.and passes here. Its(busy renderer)case, wheretitle()never answers, fails without the title cap with a broker timeout after 16 s and passes with it, returningtitle: null.navigate fails when the page never commits within its timeoutpasses on both and guards the hard-failure path.vp run check:changed: format, lint, knip, typecheck (3 packages), tests all pass.This is a server-only fix with no visible surface. The proof is the red test above plus runtime transcripts of real MCP tool calls. Each side was a dev server built from its own checkout, used a fresh database (
T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0), and ran a Claude agent calling the dev server'spreview_*tools against a synthetic page server.The after transcript was recorded at 1f132e7, the navigate change before the title cap. The cap changes nothing on these pages, whose titles answer at once.
