Two improvements while investigating #147:
1. `obscura --version` / `-V` now print the CARGO_PKG_VERSION instead of
erroring out. The issue reporter explicitly called out that there was
no version flag, and the existing `obscura serve` banner is the only
way to discover the version.
2. New regression test in obscura-js verifies that a TypeError thrown
from one script does not poison the runtime: subsequent scripts and
DOM queries must continue to work. The reporter's symptom was that
offside.js crashing collapsed --dump text output to 1 byte; that
cascade should never happen and this test pins it down.
The classList error itself is offside.js's own bug (it indexes into the
querySelectorAll result without checking for an empty array) and only
fires when the .slideout-navigation element is absent from the DOM.
On current main that element parses correctly and offside.js runs
without error against a captured copy of the affected page.
The previous workaround in page.rs rewrote socks5:// to http:// before
handing the proxy to the stealth client. That works for Clash-style
mixed-mode proxies, but breaks plain SOCKS5 servers like `ssh -ND`,
producing a confusing `TunnelUnexpectedEof` deep in the network layer.
The stealth client is backed by wreq, which does not speak SOCKS5,
so silently substituting schemes can never be correct in general.
Refuse the combination at CLI startup with a clear message that tells
the user what to do (use --proxy http://... or drop --stealth) and
revert the rewrite in Page::new. SOCKS5 without --stealth still works
through the reqwest path.
Uses GitHub's native ubuntu-22.04-arm runner so it's a native build
matching the same glibc 2.35 floor as the x86_64 target. README gets
the matching install snippet.
Adds a Global flags subsection to CLI Reference (covering --verbose,
--proxy, --user-agent, --obey-robots, --v8-flags) and a Tuning V8
section with the OOM-on-large-pages motivating example, so users
hitting JavaScript heap out of memory can find --v8-flags from the
use-case side rather than only from --help.
Closes#152. Depends on #131.
* feat(cli): add --v8-flags plumbing to configure V8 at startup (#130)
Obscura had no way to pass flags to V8, so users hitting OOM on pages
larger than ~5MB had no escape hatch. Adds a generic passthrough rather
than a one-off heap knob, so future V8 tuning needs no new code.
- New `obscura_js::set_v8_flags` (Once-guarded, empty-string no-op).
- Global `--v8-flags <FLAGS>` arg with `allow_hyphen_values = true`,
applied once in `main` before any isolate is created.
- Usage: `obscura --v8-flags "--max-old-space-size=4096" fetch <url>`.
Closes#130.
* test(cli): expand --v8-flags coverage with normalize helper
Extract normalize_v8_flags() from main() so the trim/empty-check logic
is unit-testable without needing to invoke V8. Adds parse-coverage tests
for --v8-flags with serve/scrape subcommands and empty-string values,
plus pure-function tests for the normalizer.
GHSA-q55h-vfv9-qcr5. Any process able to reach the CDP port could
send Page.navigate {"url":"file:///etc/shadow"} and read arbitrary
local files (the process's UID's worth of read access). When obscura
runs as root inside Docker or as a systemd service that translates
straight into /etc/shadow, /root/.ssh/id_rsa, /proc/1/environ, etc.
Validate at the CDP boundary, not in obscura-net, so direct CLI
callers ("obscura fetch file://...") keep working. A new
BrowserContext.allow_file_access flag defaults to false; Page.navigate
returns an error when the requested URL is file:// and the flag is
off. CdpContext::new_with_security threads the flag from the server
entry point, and "obscura serve --allow-file-access" opts in for
local-HTML testing workflows.
Tested:
- Default obscura serve: CDP Page.navigate {file:///etc/passwd} ->
refused with descriptive error.
- obscura serve --allow-file-access: same call succeeds.
- obscura fetch file://... CLI path: unchanged, still reads the file.
- All earlier PoCs (GHSA-6pj9 JS->file SOP, GHSA-4789 sub-resource
SSRF, GHSA-4789 CSS template injection) still pass.
- cargo test --workspace clean.
Three findings from GHSA-4789-rq5x-jv3c.
HIGH-1: Sub-resource fetches (<script src>, <link rel=stylesheet>) had
no scheme gate, so an http(s) page could include
<script src="file:///etc/passwd"> and the body would come back as
script source. Added subresource_allowed() that mirrors the top-level
file:// SOP rule: file: sub-resources only load when the page itself
is on file:. Off-origin schemes (data:, javascript:, etc.) are
refused regardless. Private/loopback hosts were already blocked at
the obscura-net layer; this closes the file:// hole on top of that.
HIGH-2: CSS pulled from the network was string-formatted into a JS
template literal with a three-rule escaper (backslash, backtick,
${). That escaper did not handle U+2028 / U+2029 which terminate
ECMAScript template literals, letting attacker CSS break out and
run arbitrary code in the page's V8 realm. Replaced the inline
escape with escape_for_js_template_literal() which also handles
U+2028, U+2029, null, carriage return, and every other C0 control.
LOW-2: navigate_with_wait_post() capped JS-driven navigation chains
at ten but returned Ok(()) when the cap was hit, so callers could
not tell a successful load from a redirect storm. Now returns
PageError::TooManyRedirects(REDIRECT_LIMIT).
Verified with three PoCs (sub-resource SSRF, CSS template literal
break with U+2028, and the original GHSA-6pj9-j389-226p reproducer)
plus negative tests (file:// direct read, http -> http JS chain) all
pass. cargo test --workspace clean.
A page on http(s) could set window.onload, assign location.href to a
file:// URL, and then read document.body from the local file because
two things lined up: obscura-net allows file: URLs, and the JS
runtime was reused across navigations so window state from the prior
origin survived into the new document's load event.
Two fixes:
1. Refuse a JS-initiated chain step when it crosses from a non-file
scheme into file:. Direct file:// navigations from the CLI/CDP
still work because the gate only fires on the take_pending_nav
path. file -> file chains also still work.
2. Drop and rebuild the V8 runtime on every navigation instead of
only rebinding globalThis.document. Even within the same origin
we should not carry over window.onload, custom properties, or
registered event listeners from the previous document.
Tested with the PoC from the report: pages on http://127.0.0.1.nip.io
no longer leak the contents of file:///tmp/.../pwn.txt.
Fixes#117. Adds an `Original` variant to `--dump` that streams the raw
HTTP response body verbatim to stdout (or `--output`), bypassing the
browser/JS/DOM stack entirely. Useful for binary payloads (jpg, png,
fonts) and any non-HTML resource where parsing through the DOM layer
would corrupt or discard data.
The new path uses ObscuraHttpClient directly, honours --proxy and
--user-agent, and writes bytes through tokio::io::stdout so binary
payloads (including embedded NUL bytes) round-trip cleanly.
Fixes#51. `Runtime.evaluate` and `Runtime.callFunctionOn` previously
ignored the `contextId` / `executionContextId` parameter entirely, so
clients targeting an isolated world (e.g. Playwright's locator path,
which calls `Page.createIsolatedWorld` → contextId 100 → evaluates the
UtilityScript against that id) silently fell through to the default
context, breaking the contract advertised via
Runtime.executionContextCreated.
Track the set of advertised execution context ids on CdpContext
(pre-seeded with 1 and 2 — the default-frame contexts emitted by
Runtime.enable and post-navigation) and extend it from
Page.createIsolatedWorld. Both handlers now reject unknown ids with
`Cannot find context with specified id: <id>` — matching the wording
real Chrome returns — and log accepted ids at debug for observability.
Obscura still routes every JS call against the page's single V8 isolate,
so this PR is spec-compliance scaffolding rather than full multi-world
execution. Follow-up work to physically isolate worlds can build on the
same valid_context_ids registry.
Fixes the remaining two paths from #139: JS-level fetch()/XHR
(op_fetch_url) and dynamic ES module imports (ObscuraModuleLoader) both
built their reqwest clients with `Client::builder().build()` — no
proxy — so every JS-initiated network call silently bypassed
BrowserContext.proxy_url. (The third path, StealthHttpClient, was
already fixed in main: page.rs:61 uses with_proxy.)
Changes:
* obscura-net: expose ObscuraHttpClient::proxy_url() so callers outside
the crate can route their own reqwest requests through the same
upstream proxy. The field was already there — just lacked an accessor.
* obscura-js/module_loader: add `proxy_url: Option<String>` and
`with_proxy(base_url, proxy_url)`. ObscuraModuleLoader::new keeps the
pre-#139 direct-connection behaviour. load() builds a reqwest client
per import, threading the proxy and bubbling up "Invalid module proxy"
on bad URLs.
* obscura-js/ops.rs: replace the process-wide
`static SHARED_HTTP_CLIENT: OnceLock<reqwest::Client>` (which could
never be reconfigured after first call) with a per-request
`build_request_client(proxy_url)` that pulls the configured proxy out
of SharedState.http_client.proxy_url() each call. Per-request build
cost is ~1ms vs the network round-trip, and we no longer have a
global singleton that lies about its config.
* obscura-js/runtime: add ObscuraJsRuntime::with_base_url_and_proxy.
with_base_url delegates to it with None so existing tests / callers
are unaffected.
* obscura-browser/page.rs: thread context.proxy_url through to
with_base_url_and_proxy when constructing the JS runtime.
Adds a workflow that triggers on v* tag pushes and:
- Logs into Docker Hub using DOCKERHUB_USERNAME + DOCKERHUB_TOKEN secrets
- Builds the image from the existing Dockerfile
- Tags it with both the version (e.g. 0.1.4) and 'latest'
- Pushes both tags
GitHub Actions cache is used for layers to speed up subsequent builds.
Adds a multi-stage Dockerfile (rust:1-slim-bookworm builder → distroless/cc
runtime) plus a --host flag for obscura serve that defaults to 127.0.0.1
for safety but can be set to 0.0.0.0 so the container's port is reachable
via docker run -p mapping.
Dockerfile cherry-picked from #84. The SPA chunk loading commit from that
PR was left out — verified it didn't actually fix the Next.js webpack
errors on kiwi.com (#86).
* docs(skills): add agent skill for Obscura
Adds skills/obscura/SKILL.md following the agent-skill convention used
by addyosmani/agent-skills and vercel-labs/agent-browser. AI coding
agents that scan a repo for SKILL.md files will discover Obscura and
know when to reach for it instead of Chrome.
Covers: build (with and without stealth), CLI fetch, CDP server with
Puppeteer/Playwright examples, localhost / private-network opt-in,
scaling profile, and known limits.
* docs(skills): address review feedback
- Remove --allow-private-network and OBSCURA_ALLOW_PRIVATE_NETWORK examples (not on main)
- Drop "screenshot" trigger word; Obscura doesn't support screenshots (#37, #123)
- Reword Known Limits: screenshots are not implemented, not low-fidelity
Surfaces the existing LP.getMarkdown CDP machinery as a CLI flag so
text-pipeline users (LLM agents, scrapers feeding markdown to other
tools) don't need a separate HTML-to-markdown converter step.
obscura fetch --dump markdown 'https://example.com'
Layout:
- crates/obscura-js/src/markdown.rs holds HTML_TO_MARKDOWN_JS as a
pub const so every layer can share the same DOM-walker. obscura-js
is at the bottom of the dep DAG (obscura-browser -> obscura-js,
obscura-cdp -> obscura-js, obscura-cli -> obscura-js) so a single
source of truth works without a circular dependency.
- crates/obscura-browser/src/lib.rs re-exports it for ergonomics.
- crates/obscura-cdp/src/domains/lp.rs drops its inline duplicate
and calls the shared const.
- crates/obscura-cli/src/main.rs adds the `Markdown` DumpFormat
variant + dump_markdown(&mut Page) which page.evaluate's the
shared script and prints the result.
Net diff: a new 75-line markdown.rs, a 70+ line deletion in lp.rs
that's reborn as 3 lines, and ~10 lines added across the other four
files. No behavior change for `--dump html|text|links`, and
LP.getMarkdown over CDP keeps the exact same JSON shape.
Four new unit tests in obscura-js cover headings, inline emphasis +
links, ordered/unordered lists, and that <script> / <style> contents
do not leak into the output.

headless_chrome (and older Puppeteer) wrap every CDP call inside
Target.sendMessageToTarget. Obscura was returning "Unknown Target
method" for the wrapper, which broke navigation through the high-level
client API even though the WebSocket itself connected.
Add a wrapper-level handler that:
1. Parses the inner JSON-encoded CDP request from params.message
2. Recursively dispatches it (boxed future to sidestep async-fn
recursion limits) using the wrapper's sessionId so routing works
3. Re-emits the inner response as a Target.receivedMessageFromTarget
event — the legacy contract these clients listen on instead of
correlating responses by id
4. Returns {} for the wrapper itself
This addresses the headless_chrome leg of #26. The chromiumoxide
"data did not match any variant of untagged enum Message" decode
failure is a separate event/response shape issue — needs a focused
investigation against a chromiumoxide repro that's not in the issue,
so it's left out of this PR.

macOS 26 moved libc++ headers inside the SDK, breaking Apple clang 17's
default header search. The boring-sys cmake step fails with
'fatal error: memory file not found' when building --features stealth.
Adding CXXFLAGS and SDKROOT to .cargo/config.toml [env] propagates them
to all build scripts (Cargo's documented mechanism), so cmake picks up the
SDK's C++ include path without any manual env-var ceremony.
force=false preserves CI overrides and Xcode users who already have
SDKROOT set. Non-macOS platforms ignore SDKROOT; clang silently skips
-isystem paths that do not exist on disk.
Fixes#136
When --stealth is enabled, StealthHttpClient was created without
the proxy URL from --proxy, causing all stealth-mode requests to
bypass the proxy.
Also convert SOCKS5 proxy URL to HTTP when passing to wreq-based
StealthHttpClient, because wreq does not support SOCKS5 protocol
(Clash mixed port supports both protocols on the same port).
Fixes proxy connectivity for 'obscura serve --stealth --proxy socks5://...'

* fix(#19): serialize V8 work across pages with process-wide async lock
Concurrent CDP clients (≥5) trip V8's
`heap->isolate() == Isolate::TryGetCurrent()` invariant and abort the
process via V8_Fatal — no Rust panic, just abort(3). Each Page owns its
own JsRuntime/Isolate and they all run on a single OS thread via
LocalSet+spawn_local; when two pages' V8-touching futures interleave
across an .await, V8 trips the check.
This adds a process-wide tokio::sync::Mutex (obscura_js::v8_lock) that
is acquired:
- At the top of obscura_cdp::dispatch::dispatch (covers every CDP
handler that may call into a JsRuntime).
- In server.rs's process_with_interception spawn_local that runs
page.navigate_with_wait + execute_preload_script (this path
bypasses dispatch).
The guard keeps each V8-touching block contiguous on the thread: V8
fully exits one Isolate before another page is allowed in. Trade-off:
non-V8 handlers (Browser.*, Storage.*, Emulation.*) also serialize,
but those are cheap and the safety win dominates.
The properly concurrent fix is to pin each JsRuntime to its own OS
thread and message-pass; tracked as the larger #19 follow-up.
Adds an opt-in smoke test (`--ignored`) that boots the CDP server and
runs 5 parallel clients through createTarget+navigate. Note: the
deterministic abort needs subresource-fetch yields (page.rs:285
join_all) which data: URLs skip — full repro requires JS-heavy real
traffic (issue author used scrapegraphai.com).
* fix(#19): suspend other Isolates and defer foreign CDP during interception nav
Address maintainer feedback on PR #36 (comment 4328238087): the V8 fatal
still reproduces with `Fetch.enable patterns:["*"]` + 5 concurrent
`Page.navigate`s. The `obscura_js::v8_lock` mutex was insufficient
because V8's actual invariant is "only one Isolate may be entered per
OS thread", and the mutex can't enforce that across `.await` points
inside V8 ops.
Two distinct paths violated the invariant:
1. Foreign CDP messages dispatched while a nav task was running.
`process_with_interception`'s `select!` routed every non-Fetch
message through `process_cdp_message → dispatch → page::handle::*`.
`get_session_page_mut` then `suspend_js`'es other pages (drops
their `JsRuntime` → `Isolate::Exit`) while the spawned nav task is
parked at `op_fetch_url`'s `resolve_rx.await` with its Isolate
still entered. Drop trips
`heap->isolate() == Isolate::TryGetCurrent()`.
2. Subsequent navs through `process_with_interception` did not
suspend prior pages. After nav-1 completes (page-1's JsRuntime
stays alive in `ctx.pages`), nav-2's `init_js` constructs
Isolate-2 while Isolate-1 is still current. The next V8 scope
unwind aborts via `Context::Exit`.
Fix (3 changes in `crates/obscura-cdp/src/server.rs`):
- `cdp_processor`: add a `VecDeque<ServerMessage> deferred` drained
before each new `rx.recv()`, so deferred messages are processed
with no nav task in flight.
- `process_with_interception` `select!`: only handle `NewConnection`
and `Fetch.{continue,fulfill,fail}Request` inline (safe — no V8
enter on this side); push everything else into `deferred`.
- `process_with_interception` entry: explicitly `suspend_js()` every
other page in `ctx.pages` before spawning the nav task, mirroring
the invariant the regular dispatch path already enforces via
`get_session_page_mut`.
Verification:
- New test `crates/obscura-cdp/tests/concurrent_navigations_with_fetch.rs`
is the maintainer's exact repro (5 clients, `Fetch.enable patterns:["*"]`,
concurrent `Page.navigate` to https://example.com, auto-reply
`Fetch.continueRequest`). Aborts on PR #36 head, passes after fix
(5/5 stable runs, ~1.2s each).
- Existing data-URL smoke test (`concurrent_navigations`) still passes.
- Full workspace test suite (90 tests) still passes.
Run with:
cargo test -p obscura-cdp --test concurrent_navigations_with_fetch \
-- --nocapture --ignored
Honest caveat. This is still the lock/serialize approach — it converts
the abort into latency. The properly concurrent fix (Option 2 in
issue #19: pin each `JsRuntime` to its own OS thread and message-pass)
remains the right long-term direction.
* fix(cdp): bound deferred message queue to prevent OOM during stalled navigation
PR #36 comment 4341743194: process_with_interception deferred foreign
CDP messages into an unbounded VecDeque while a navigation task was in
flight. A stalled navigation (e.g. waiting for Fetch interception
resolution) could accumulate arbitrary queued messages and OOM the
process.
Add MAX_DEFERRED_MESSAGES = 256. When the cap is reached, return an
explicit CDP error (-32000) to the client instead of silently dropping
or growing without bound.
All 90 workspace tests pass.
Puppeteer's first CDP call after connect is Target.getBrowserContexts.
When the single cdp_processor is busy (e.g. Page.navigate with fetch
interception), queued Target commands stall and Puppeteer hits
protocolTimeout on getBrowserContexts before any user code runs.
Answer getBrowserContexts synchronously in fast_path_response with the
same payload as domains::target::handle (default context id "default"),
matching Browser context initialization in CdpContext.

Playwright's `page.pdf()` issues a `Page.printToPDF` CDP request which
Obscura was not handling, so the dispatcher fell through to the generic
catch-all and clients saw:
Page.pdf: Protocol error (Page.printToPDF): Unknown Page method: printToPDF
This reads like an oversight rather than a deliberate limitation.
Obscura intentionally has no layout engine — option (2) from the issue —
so make the limitation explicit by handling the method and returning a
clear error that names the method, says why it isn't supported, and
points users at a working alternative (extract HTML via
Runtime.evaluate, then render to PDF in their client).
The behavior change is small but meaningful for DX: the JSON-RPC error
code stays -32601 (the dispatcher's mapping for `Err(_)`), but the
human-readable message becomes actionable instead of looking like a
forgotten method.
Adds a unit test that pins the regression: printToPDF must NOT fall
through to the "Unknown Page method" catch-all and must mention both
"not supported" and a workaround.

`obscura fetch --dump text` walked the entire <body> and emitted the

body. The skip list inside extract_readable_text already excluded

tags so the dump is closer to the article content users actually want

Behaviour change for users who relied on the noise being included is

obscura serve --user-agent <ua> only logged the value via tracing::info!
and never passed it to the CDP server, so every navigation kept using
the default Chrome UA string and httpbin.org/user-agent reported the
default rather than the override.
Plumb the option end-to-end:
- BrowserContext::with_full_options(id, proxy, stealth, user_agent)
initializes both BrowserContext::user_agent and the underlying
ObscuraHttpClient::user_agent RwLock at construction time so the
first navigation already sees the override.
- CdpContext::new_with_full_options forwards the UA to the default
BrowserContext.
- obscura_cdp::start_with_full_options accepts the UA and passes it
through cdp_processor.
- main.rs Serve arm calls start_with_full_options with the parsed UA.
- run_multi_worker_serve forwards --user-agent <ua> when spawning
worker subprocesses so multi-worker mode honors the flag too.
Existing two-arg start_with_options and three-arg with_options stay
as thin shims (call the full variant with None) so older callers and
the public crate API remain source-compatible.
Three new unit tests in obscura-browser cover the propagation, the
Chrome default fallback, and the legacy with_options path.

document.elementFromPoint(x, y) was undefined, which caused Google
Publisher Tag, viewability libs and any code doing hit-testing to
throw on bootstrap and trigger retry loops in the surrounding
framework. This is one of the throwing APIs feeding into the wedge
described in #62.
Without a layout engine we can't return the actual topmost element,
but a non-throwing stub is strictly better than "undefined" for the
headless-scraping use case:
- coords inside the viewport return document.body (or
document.documentElement as a fallback) so callers that just want
a hit target stop throwing
- coords outside the viewport (negative, > innerWidth/innerHeight,
NaN/Infinity) return null per spec
- elementsFromPoint mirrors the same shape but returns a one- or
zero-length array
- ShadowRoot.prototype gets the same treatment for completeness
Five new unit tests in obscura-js cover function presence, in-viewport
hit, out-of-viewport coords, non-numeric input, and the array shape.

document.createEvent('CustomEvent') was returning a generic Event,
so the legacy DOM Level 2 pattern
var e = document.createEvent('CustomEvent');
e.initCustomEvent('foo', true, false, payload);
threw "TypeError: e.initCustomEvent is not a function" because the
returned object was an Event, not a CustomEvent — and CustomEvent
didn't define initCustomEvent anyway. The Starbucks China bundle
(and a long tail of other CDN bundles using the same shim) depended
on this and aborted bootstrap.
Two changes in crates/obscura-js/js/bootstrap.js:
1. Add CustomEvent.prototype.initCustomEvent(type, bubbles, cancelable,
detail) matching the spec.
2. Rewrite Document.prototype.createEvent so it dispatches to the
right class based on the type string ('CustomEvent', 'MouseEvent',
'MouseEvents', 'KeyboardEvent', 'FocusEvent', 'InputEvent',
'UIEvent', 'WheelEvent', 'PointerEvent', 'ErrorEvent',
'PopStateEvent', 'AnimationEvent', 'TransitionEvent', and
case-insensitive 'Events' aliases). The HTMLDocument variant on
the second Document class delegates to the canonical impl.
Spec note: createEvent returns the event with an empty type until
init*Event() is called — matched exactly.
Four new unit tests cover initCustomEvent presence and field setters,
class dispatch for CustomEvent / MouseEvent / MouseEvents / KeyboardEvent,
and the unknown-type fallback to Event.

The current ubuntu-latest Linux release can require a newer glibc than common LTS servers provide. Pinning the x86_64 Linux release job to Ubuntu 22.04 keeps the prebuilt binary compatible with glibc 2.35+ environments while leaving macOS and Windows release jobs unchanged.
Also document the Linux LTS compatibility target in the install section so users understand why the release runner is pinned.
