WalkthroughThe headless runner now supports ChromeShell, uses additional Chromium performance flags, tracks request idle before navigation, waits for combined page readiness conditions, and captures screenshots after repaint with speed optimization. The ChangesHeadless browser execution
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change can improve screenshot speed, but it currently risks hanging browser startup when the ChromeShell download stalls and can crash on zero or negative screenshot-idle values. The PR is not merge-ready until download timeouts with fallback and input validation are added. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 106-111: Update the ChromeShell setup around chromeshell.Ensure
and its implementation to accept a context with a finite timeout, ensuring
stalled downloads cannot block NewBrowser indefinitely. Propagate the context
through the HTTP request and preserve the existing fallback by leaving
chromeLauncher unchanged when the bounded Ensure call fails.
- Around line 149-155: Validate that the screenshot idle duration is positive
before calling setupPageAndNavigate in the surrounding screenshot flow,
returning an appropriate error for zero or negative values so waitPageReady and
page.WaitDOMStable are never reached with invalid durations. Add coverage for
both zero and negative idle values.

Bound the ChromeShell download.
chromeshell.Ensure() runs synchronously during NewBrowser. Its pinned implementation uses http.Get without a request deadline, so a stalled download can block browser startup indefinitely. Add a context-aware, bounded Ensure API and retain the existing default-launcher fallback when the download fails.

Reject non-positive screenshot idle durations.
--screenshot-idle accepts zero and negative durations. waitPageReady passes idle to page.WaitDOMStable, which calls time.NewTicker(d) and panics for non-positive durations. Validate idle > 0 before page setup and test zero and negative values.

Speeds up headless screenshots on linux/amd64 with chrome-headless-shell and tighter page readiness waits, about 1.95× / 48.8% faster on a concurrent SPA bench with zero early captures.
