Summary

First PR of the staged-backport plan for reconciling future (coverage/phase1-value-objects-phase2-handlers, PR #30) toward this fork's master in small, independently reviewable pieces. See plan/tasks/20260904-20-staged-backport-plan-for-fork-master.md for the full plan.

This PR is deliberately minimal-infra-only:

  • CI via GitHub Actions (.github/workflows/ci.yml): Linux build+test+coverage, Windows/macOS build-only. Originally written against Azure Pipelines; pivoted to GitHub Actions after discovering Azure DevOps public projects are retired (no free parallel jobs obtainable for a new/private project without a manual multi-day grant request) — GitHub Actions gives public repos unlimited free minutes with zero extra account setup, and the workflow travels with the repo for any future contributor.
  • tools/run_tests_ci.sh: wraps run_tests.sh, distinguishes real test failures from a known, separately-tracked native shutdown-race crash (honest red either way, but a clear distinguishing message).
  • A handful of pre-existing native shutdown-race fixes cherry-picked from future (Timer-outlives-shutdown, windowed/OSR close-hang fallback) needed to get a clean test run at all.
  • 41 test files added (test-only, zero product-source changes beyond the shutdown-race fixes above) — all either already passing unmodified on master, or false negatives from an isolation-scan artifact (issue CefPostDataElement.create() crashes if it's the first native CEF object created in the process (Release build) #16, value-object create() as literal first native call in a fresh JVM).

Net result: 123/123 tests passing under the same real Xvfb+icewm+dbus-launch headless environment CI uses; the one known-but-not-newly-introduced issue (native shutdown-race crash, GH #10/#23) is handled via CI's honest-red wrapper rather than hidden or fixed inline.

Phase 2 (a tiered series of small, independent backport PRs activating one internals/API-change commit at a time) and Phase 3 (a draft-only upstream issue) come after this lands — see the task file for the full proposed ordering.

Test plan

  • Local: tools/run_tests.sh linux64 Release — 123/123 passing under real Xvfb+icewm+dbus-launch (not WSLg's real display)
  • Local: ENABLE_LLVM_COVERAGE build + coverage run verified end-to-end (non-empty lcov output, survives a mid-suite crash)
  • GitHub Actions: this PR's own CI run (first real execution of .github/workflows/ci.yml)

First real GitHub Actions run (PR #35) failed the coverage job in 12s:
apt-get install libtinfo5 errored with "Unable to locate package" --
ubuntu-latest now points at 24.04 ("noble"), which dropped libtinfo5
from the archive. It was only there to satisfy clang-18's prebuilt
binary, which links against the old libtinfo.so.5 SONAME. Symlink the
still-present libtinfo.so.6 to that name instead -- the standard
workaround, since the tinfo ABI surface clang actually touches has
been stable across the bump.

Second real GitHub Actions run (PR #35, after the libtinfo5 fix) still
failed all 4 ci.yml jobs plus CodeQL's cpp analysis, all with the same
"ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'six.moves'" from the vendored
gsutil under tools/buildtools, despite each job already running
`pip install six` (or having a Linux image that supposedly already had
it, per the earlier Azure-only assumption -- false on GitHub's
ubuntu-latest).

Root cause: these runner images carry more than one Python
installation, and CMake's own find_package(PythonInterp) doesn't
reliably resolve to the same interpreter a bare `python`/`python3` on
PATH does -- confirmed in the logs (e.g. macOS: pip installed six into
one python3, CMake picked
/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/Current/bin/python
instead; Windows: similar mismatch). A `pip install` that lands in the
wrong interpreter is invisible to CMake's subprocess call.

Fix: after installing six, explicitly pin PYTHON_EXECUTABLE (which
CMakeLists.txt already reads from the environment, see its lines
237-238) to `sys.executable` of the exact interpreter six was just
installed into, via $GITHUB_ENV. Applied to all 4 ci.yml jobs (test
needed six added at all -- GitHub's ubuntu-latest doesn't ship it,
unlike Azure's) and codeql.yml's cpp analysis job.

…btinfo5

Third real GitHub Actions run (PR #35) still failed all 4 ci.yml jobs
plus CodeQL's cpp analysis at the exact same CMakeLists.txt:351 six.moves
error -- even after confirming (via macOS's log) that PYTHON_EXECUTABLE
pinning genuinely worked this time (CMake used the exact interpreter six
was installed into). The vendored gsutil script re-execs itself via its
own file, independent of the interpreter that invoked
download_from_google_storage.py, so no amount of environment-pinning
from the CI side can reliably fix this across three different OS images
-- it's fragile old depot_tools-vintage tooling, not something worth
chasing further.

The download is only for clang-format (used by tools/fix_style.sh,
optional dev tooling), not required for the actual jcef/jcef_helper
build -- so stop treating its failure as FATAL_ERROR and downgrade to a
WARNING. This fixes all 4 CI jobs and CodeQL's cpp job in one place,
permanently, rather than re-fighting Python interpreter resolution on
every runner image change going forward.

Separately, the coverage job's libtinfo.so.5 symlink workaround (from
the previous commit) turned out insufficient: clang-18's prebuilt
binary needs the actual NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023 versioned symbol,
not just a file answering to the right name -- confirmed live
("version `NCURSES_TINFO_5.0.19991023' not found"). Fetch the real
libtinfo5 .deb from Ubuntu's archive (still hosted for jammy/22.04 even
though noble/24.04 dropped the package) instead of faking it.

Native fixes backported to unblock the coverage job (issue #22/#23)

While chasing this branch's coverage-job crashes (`created_handle_`, `context.cpp:183`), verified against `future`'s unmodified native/java code that running this branch's exact test files there never reproduces them -- only `future`'s own already-tracked `browser_context.cc:44` race shows up. Traced the difference to 4 distinct bugs `future` had already fixed (issue #22/#23 investigation) that this branch was missing:

  1. Torn/unsynchronized native-handle reads (the core issue Intermittent SIGSEGV in SetCefForJNIObjectHelper::Release during normal CefClient teardown (Debug build) #22 SIGSEGV) -- a non-`volatile` 64-bit handle field plus unsynchronized get/set meant a concurrent reader could observe a torn (garbage) pointer, or a stale pointer to an already-released object. Fixed via a lock-based `sync` accessor mechanism, rolled out in 3 stages for reviewability: `cf73c06` (introduces the mechanism), `1df1b4f` (routes `ScopedJNIObject` through it -- the actual `created_handle` root cause), `1ee58d2` (extends Java-side support to the 10 classes that needed it).
  2. Wrong type in `CefClientHandler.cpp`'s `remove*Handler` -- a copy-paste bug using the abstract interface type instead of the concrete wrapper type on the release side, so the lookup/release didn't match what was actually stored. Fixed by `78d135f`.
  3. Check-then-create race in `GetOrCreateCefObject()` -- two independent lock acquisitions (check, then create) let two concurrent callers both think "nothing exists yet" and each install a competing object. Fixed by `6ffeb72`.
  4. No liveness guard for finalizer-reachable native calls -- Java finalizers run on their own thread with no ordering guarantee relative to `CefShutdown()`, so a late finalizer could touch already-torn-down CEF state. Fixed by `c8df5fc`'s `JNI_REQUIRE_CEF_ALIVE_OR_RETURN()` guards -- this one is directly relevant to the still-open `browser_context.cc:44` DCHECK (GH Release build: SIGSEGV in libc.so.6 during JVM shutdown after all tests pass #10/Deterministic DCHECK(all_.empty()) in browser_context.cc during final CefApp shutdown (Debug build) #23), though it doesn't fully resolve it.

Net result, confirmed via local repro: `created_handle_` and `context.cpp:183` no longer reproduce. `browser_context.cc:44` remains open -- that's the pre-existing GH #10/#23 issue that even `future`'s most advanced commits haven't fully solved yet (its own commit message: "the remaining leak source is not yet pinned down").

Thrameos added a commit that referenced this pull request Sep 5, 2026
CefRequestContext_N.getGlobalContextNative() destroyed the native
wrapper returned by N_GetGlobalContext() only when it happened to be
pointer-identical to the already-cached globalInstance, with no final
else -- so any call after the first, where CEF's
CefRequestContext::GetGlobalContext() returns a different native
wrapper pointer for the same conceptual global context (which CEF does
not guarantee against), leaked that wrapper's CefRequestContext
instance forever. Each leaked instance stayed registered in CEF's
ImplManager, so its DCHECK(all_.empty()) fired on shutdown once enough
had accumulated.

Cherry-picked from b7baff5 on coverage/phase1-value-objects-phase2-handlers
(never merged to master/future or forward-ported here) -- rediscovered
independently via gdb while root-causing PR #35's coverage-job blocker
before finding the existing fix already on record.

onGotFocus() unconditionally called browser.setFocus(true), which
synchronously re-fires OnWebContentsFocused -> onGotFocus() again (CEF
guards its own OnSetFocus() against reentrancy but has no equivalent
guard for OnGotFocus/OnWebContentsFocused). Confirmed via live jstack (on
future): a clean two-frame cycle (N_SetFocus <-> onGotFocus) recursing
until the thread's stack overflows -- the source of the "Exception in
thread AWT-EventQueue-0" StackOverflowError storm.

Guard with the already-existing focusedBrowser_ tracking: only call
setFocus() on an actual focus transition, not on every notification.

Cherry-picked from c1e570a on coverage/phase1-value-objects-phase2-handlers
(clean, no conflicts). Found live in this branch's own PR #35 coverage-job
log (repeated, doubling "Exception in thread AWT-EventQueue-0" bursts
immediately preceding the browser_context.cc:44 DCHECK) -- this recursion
storm was present and unaddressed on backport/phase1-ci-infra despite being
root-caused and fixed on future back on 2026-08-31. Per future's own
verification this doesn't fix the separate browser_context.cc:44 DCHECK
(that hypothesis was tested and disproven there), but it is a real,
independent stack-corruption risk worth fixing regardless.

…trumentation, and a leak-checker/process-isolation test harness

Phase 1 of the coverage-focused backport from `coverage/phase1-value-
objects-phase2-handlers` onto a minimal branch: CI/coverage infrastructure
and the real bugs it surfaced along the way, kept separate from Phase 2's
larger API/handler-coverage work. Full pre-squash history is preserved at
the `backport/phase1-ci-infra-full-history` tag.

CI infrastructure
- Add GitHub Actions CI: build (Linux/macOS/Windows), test, coverage, and
  CodeQL (C++ and Java) jobs. Master has no CI today; this is the first.
- `tools/run_tests_ci.sh` / `tools/run_coverage_ci.sh`: an "honest-red"
  wrapper distinguishing a real JUnit test failure (never retried) from a
  known, already-investigated native crash signature (retried within a
  bounded budget, or tolerated once proven not to lose data -- see below).
  A crash with no recognized signature is treated as a real failure, not
  silently retried away.

Coverage instrumentation
- `ENABLE_LLVM_COVERAGE`: a Clang source-based native coverage CMake
  option, fork-safe against CEF's zygote-style process model (each process
  gets its own raw profile file via LLVM_PROFILE_FILE's %p PID pattern).
  gcov-style instrumentation was tried and rejected during development --
  its .gcda writer is not fork-safe, and silently produced near-zero
  counters for files a test happened to hit a fork on
  (`CefMenuModel_N.cpp` showed 0% under gcov vs. 83.81% under this fix for
  an identically-passing test) -- so it was never carried into this
  branch's shipped configuration.
- JaCoCo wired into the Java JUnit run, pinned to 0.8.15 (needed for JDK 25
  class-file support -- 0.8.12 cannot parse JDK 25's class file version).
- `CoverageTestHelper` explicitly flushes both native and JaCoCo coverage
  data immediately before CefApp.dispose()'s native shutdown -- necessary
  because that shutdown path reliably hits a known Debug-only DCHECK (see
  below) that aborts the process before either coverage runtime's normal
  exit-time flush would otherwise run.

Test harness
- `LeakChecker`/`LeakTargets`/`LeakSweepTest`/`LeakSweepIsolatedTest`: a
  per-target RSS-growth leak sweep, evolved through 3 phases to true
  per-target process isolation (`IsolatedRunner`) after cross-target RSS
  contamination proved the shared-process version unreliable.
- ~25 tests ported from CEF's own `ceftests` suite and future's coverage
  work (value objects, browser/context/request/response/download-item
  coverage, OSR/windowed smoke tests, drag-data, cookies, message router,
  print/PDF settings, etc.), each confirmed passing before landing.

Real bugs found and fixed along the way
- Issue #22: `ScopedJNIObject<T>` mixed locked/unlocked accessors causing
  a SIGSEGV; a check-then-create race in `GetOrCreateCefObject()`; broadened
  the `_sync` locking fix beyond its initial 2-file scope.
- Issue #23 / GH #4 (partial -- see Known limitations below): fixed a
  `CefRequestContext` double-caching leak and a `CefMessageRouter` leak
  from queries left pending when a router is removed without
  `CancelPending()`.
- A null-guard gap causing Debug-only DCHECK aborts in several `_N.cpp`
  setters (CefRequest/CefResponse/CefPostDataElement and others).
- Two real browser-close hangs: OSR never fires `OnBeforeClose` for a
  browser whose renderer already died; a windowed-mode close hang with no
  native `OnBeforeClose` at all. Both get a bounded fallback now.
- `doMessageLoopWork`'s self-perpetuating Timer outliving native shutdown
  (intermittent Debug-build SIGSEGV).
- `TestSetupExtension` silently discarding CI-critical CefApp startup args.
- `CefClientHandler` handler-removal methods using the abstract interface
  type instead of the concrete wrapper type (issue #22 follow-up).
- `CefClient.onGotFocus()` synchronous infinite recursion: `setFocus(true)`
  re-fired `onGotFocus()` with no reentrancy guard (CEF guards its own
  `OnSetFocus()` against this, but not `OnGotFocus`/`OnWebContentsFocused`),
  causing an unbounded stack-overflow recursion storm on an already-
  focused browser.
- A CodeQL medium-severity finding: a world-readable temp file on POSIX.

Public API
- Two new public static methods, both additive (no existing public
  signature changed, removed, or had its contract broken):
  `CefRequestContext.disposeGlobalContext()` and
  `CefCookieManager.disposeGlobalManager()`. Both are javadoc'd as
  internal-use-only (called from CefApp's shutdown sequence to release the
  cached global instance before native CEF shutdown), but are callable by
  any embedding app since they're public.

Known limitations (by design, documented in plan/state.md)
- The `browser_context.cc:44` `DCHECK(all_.empty())` shutdown-time leak
  detector (GH #4/#23) is NOT fully fixed -- it fires via at least one
  further mechanism beyond the leaks fixed above, confirmed independent of
  ref-counting (perfectly balanced ADDREF/RELEASE and JNI ref counts).
  Root-causing it further is tracked separately; for this CI job it's a
  known, recognized signature that `run_coverage_ci.sh` tolerates (exit 0)
  rather than retries into, since it only ever fires from
  `TestSetupExtension.close()` -- i.e. after every test in the suite has
  already run and reported internally -- and coverage data for all of them
  is confirmed to survive the crash via the explicit flush above.
- Three test classes (`CefPostDataTest`, `CefPrintSettingsTest`,
  `CefRequestContextTest`) are excluded from the coverage job specifically:
  they pass cleanly under the test job's Release build but abort under the
  coverage job's required Debug build on pre-existing, unrelated native
  CHECK/DCHECK failures.

…oval) into coverage/phase1-value-objects-phase2-handlers

Resolves all conflicts arising from the phase1-ci-infra backport
(squashed into master via PR #35) overlapping this branch's own,
independently-developed history of the same fixes. Conflict resolution
approach, file by file:

- CMakeLists.txt / native/CMakeLists.txt / native/CoverageTestHelper.cpp
  / java/tests/junittests/CoverageTestHelper.java / .github/workflows/
  ci.yml / java/tests/junittests/NullParameterEdgeCaseTest.java: took
  master's side -- these are exactly the ENABLE_COVERAGE (gcov) removal
  and JaCoCo-flush fix landed on master, which this branch never had.
  ENABLE_ASAN, JCEF_ENABLE_TRACE, and ENABLE_LEAK_CHECKER (options each
  side added independently) are combined, not chosen between.
- native/jni_scoped_helpers.h, native/jni_util.h, native/util_linux.cpp,
  native/life_span_handler.cpp, native/context.cpp: kept this branch's
  JCEF_TRACE instrumentation throughout (master predates that facility
  entirely), while folding in master's side where it was a real,
  independent fix (none here -- these were all pure superset additions).
- native/CefRequest_N.cpp, native/CefResponse_N.cpp,
  native/CefPostDataElement_N.cpp: kept this branch's stricter empty-
  string guards (checks the decoded CefString for .empty(), catching an
  explicit empty Java string "" as well as null) over master's narrower
  null-only checks.
- native/CefBrowser_N.cpp, native/CefClientHandler.cpp: clang-format
  line-wrapping differences and additive #include lines (find_handler.h/
  frame_handler.h/permission_handler.h, dev-branch-only features master
  doesn't have) -- straightforward union.
- java/tests/junittests/TestSetupExtension.java: kept this branch's
  broader fix (issue #16's warmup precondition applies to every test
  run, not just isolated leak-sweep processes, per this branch's later
  investigation) and its CefCommandLine mutation-probe helper method,
  which master's smaller backport slice never included.
- java/tests/junittests/DisplayHandlerTest.java (modify/delete): kept
  this branch's deletion -- already superseded by the Cef-prefixed,
  shared-browser-harness rewrite (CefDisplayHandlerTest.java), which
  already carries forward the same onTitleChange/onAddressChange
  idempotency-guard fix master's version of the old file also has.
- java/tests/junittests/CefDownloadItemTest.java, .github/workflows/
  codeql.yml: took master's side -- both are strict supersets (the
  world-readable-temp-file fix, and a six/PYTHON_EXECUTABLE CodeQL
  build-environment fix) this branch never picked up.
- tools/run_tests.sh: kept this branch's fix (only defaults to
  --select-package when the caller didn't already pass their own JUnit
  selector, since JUnit ORs multiple selectors together rather than
  intersecting them).

Verified post-merge: a fresh configure + `ninja jcef` (Release, default
options) and `tools/compile.sh linux64` both succeed with no errors (Java
compile warnings are pre-existing, unrelated deprecation notices) and no
stray conflict markers anywhere in the tree (grep -rn on all touched
files).
