# 'stale element' both for that cross-navigation case (epoch mismatch) and
# for the original same-page "node removed" case (isConnected false). `e`

#
# The registry must not grow without bound. It is keyed by id in a Map (NOT an
# array index), so entries can be dropped without renumbering a live handle:
#   - put() DEDUPES via a WeakMap (node -> id), because the same node is
#     registered over and over -- every wait_for poll re-runs find(), 20 times a
#     second by default. Pushing each time meant a minute of polling appended
#     1200 entries for ONE node.
#   - put() also sweeps detached nodes periodically. get() already refuses any
#     node that is not isConnected, so a detached entry can never be used again
#     -- it only pins the node in the renderer's JS heap, keeping the whole
#     removed subtree alive for as long as the page lives. (A page that never
#     navigates is exactly the long-lived single-page-app case this module is
#     used for, and the id-space reset on navigation does not help there.)

        #    sometime after {pending} has already moved on to the new nav.
        #    Unconditional on started state: a mismatch is always stray.
        #
        #  - started-since gate: the current pending has NOT yet seen its
        #    own load-changed started/committed (see above). WebKit always
        #    starts a load (emits 'started') before it can fail it, so a
        #    failure arriving for a not-yet-started pending cannot be that
        #    pending's own -- it must be the tail cancellation of whatever
        #    nav this one just superseded. This is what protects

        #    predictable target uri to compare (a history entry's
        #    destination isn't known ahead of time, and load_html has none
        #    at all: $p->[3] stays undef for these, so the target-uri gate
        #    above is inert for them). Confirmed live: the stray
        #    cancellation for a just-superseded nav consistently arrives
        #    before the new pending's own first load-changed event.
        #
        #  - superseded-uri gate (R11): failing_uri is the identity of a nav
        #    this pending itself superseded (see _start_nav/{_superseded}).
        #    This closes a gap the other two can miss once the current
        #    pending has ALREADY started (started-since gate now inert) but
        #    a stray tail for an EARLIER superseded nav still arrives late --
        #    e.g. a real network cancellation that takes longer to surface
        #    than the new pending's own near-instant start. Skipped when it
        #    would agree with the target-uri gate's own "known and matching"
        #    exemption (below), so it never re-flags a genuine same-uri
        #    failure as stray. A MATCH here is a pure read, never a write:
        #    WebKit fires load-changed:finished as the terminal event of
        #    EVERY load's lifecycle even after a load-failed for the same
        #    load (confirmed live -- a superseded nav's cancellation reliably
        #    produces BOTH) -- if this branch consumed/deleted the
        #    {_superseded} entry, the finished handler's OWN check would
        #    arrive moments later to find nothing left to compare against,
        #    and wrongly resolve the still-uncommitted current pending.

# Shared by the core load-changed handler (in new(), above) and

# listeners on the same view (chrome's fires FIRST -- see _build_chrome --
# so this must be a pure, side-effect-free read: it must return the SAME
# verdict for both call sites on the SAME event, before either one acts on
# it). True if a 'finished' event, arriving right now with the view
# currently (optimistically) showing $cur_uri, cannot be the current
# pending's own:
#
#  - mechanism 1 (committed-uri gate, primary): the pending has its OWN
#    captured committed uri ($p->[5], set on 'committed' -- see the
#    load-changed handler) and $cur_uri differs from it. Comparing
#    actual-committed to actual-committed (never to a user-passed target)
#    makes this immune to WebKit's own uri normalization/redirects. Inert
#    (falls through to mechanism 2) when the pending has NOT captured a
#    committed uri -- notably a bfcache-restored back()/forward(), which
#    jumps straight to 'finished' with no preceding started/committed at
#    all; gating on absence-of-commit here would hang a real, successful
#    navigation, so this mechanism deliberately does NOT do that.
#
#  - mechanism 2 (started-since gate): the pending has no committed uri of its
#    own but DOES have a known target -- go(), as opposed to the history navs --
#    and has not yet seen its own 'started'. See the body; it is what catches
#    the tail of a load abandoned by a timeout. Note that mechanism 1
#    deliberately does not gate on absence-of-commit, and this does not
#    contradict that: it fires only for a nav that carries a target, which a
#    bfcache-restorable history navigation never does.
#
#  - mechanism 3 (superseded-uri filter, covers what neither of the above can):
#    pending has NOT captured a committed uri, but _start_nav recorded the
#    identity of a nav it tore down mid-flight to create this pending (see
#    there). Unless $cur_uri happens to coincide with that identity -- an
#    irreducible, indistinguishable-but-harmless case (same uri either way;
#    see POD LIMITATIONS) -- a finished arriving before this pending's own
#    commit can only be that torn-down nav's belated tail, not a legitimate
#    bfcache-style finished of this pending's own (nothing was superseded to

    EV::run;

Pass C<< chrome => 1 >> to C<new> and export a real C<$DISPLAY> (instead of
C<xvfb-run>) for a visible, interactive window with basic back/forward/reload
chrome; every method above keeps working unchanged.

=head1 DESCRIPTION

EV::WebKit drives a real, in-process WebKitGTK 6.0 web view for browser
automation: navigation, DOM queries and manipulation, JavaScript execution,
screenshots, PDF export, cookies, and basic network control. It is pure
Perl over GObject Introspection -- no XS, and the only thing compiled at
install is one small optional extension (see L</"REQUIREMENTS">) -- and
integrates WebKitGTK's GLib main loop into L<EV> via
L<EV::Glib>, so it composes with other EV-based code in the same process.

DOM access works by injecting JavaScript through WebKit's
C<call_async_javascript_function> and JSON-marshalling the result back into
Perl data; elements found via C<find>/C<find_all> are returned as
lightweight L<EV::WebKit::Element> handles (a page-side registry id plus a
back-reference to the browser), not live DOM references held on the Perl
side -- see L<EV::WebKit::Element>.

EV::WebKit does not manage a display of its own; see L</"LIMITATIONS">.

=head1 CALLBACK CONVENTION

EV::WebKit is entirely single-threaded and cooperative: every operation
that talks to the web view is asynchronous and runs on the ambient L<EV>
loop. The caller starts and stops that loop (C<EV::run>, C<EV::break>) --
no EV::WebKit method ever calls either for you. Methods that need to wait
for a result take a trailing callback:

    sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... }

On success, C<$err> is C<undef> and C<$result> holds the method's result
(shape documented per method below). On failure, C<$result> is C<undef>
and C<$err> is a short, human-readable string -- Perl's own " at FILE line
N." diagnostic suffix is stripped where it would otherwise appear -- such
as C<timeout>, C<browser closed>, or a cleaned JavaScript exception
message. Methods never throw for ordinary runtime failures; always check
C<$err>. Some methods are plain synchronous accessors/mutators and take no callback at
all: the state readers (C<uri>, C<title>, C<is_loading>, C<status>,
C<can_go_back>, C<can_go_forward>), C<stop>, the configuration setters
(C<settings>, C<set_user_agent>/C<user_agent>, C<set_proxy>, C<zoom>,
C<show_devtools>, C<mock_scheme>), the user-content methods
(C<add_user_script>/C<add_user_style> and their removes), the fingerprint
accessors, and C<quit>. Where it is not obvious from the usage line, the
method's own entry says so.

C<EV::break> is safe to call directly from the trailing C<($result, $err)>
callbacks described above, and from C<on_load>, C<on_error>, C<on_close> and
C<on_navigate>, since all of those run on a clean EV tick. So do C<on_request>
and C<on_response>, which run in the proxy rather than in WebKit at all. C<on_console>, C<on_dialog>, C<on_policy>,
C<on_file_chooser>, C<on_download>, C<on_authenticate> and a C<mock_scheme>
producer, however, all
fire synchronously inside WebKit's own dispatch frame -- do NOT call
C<EV::break> directly from those; schedule it instead, e.g.
C<< EV::timer(0, 0, sub { EV::break }) >>. (Calling C<quit> from them B<is>
safe: it detects the frame and defers its own teardown.)

=head1 CONSTRUCTOR

=head2 available

    my $ok = EV::WebKit->available;

Returns true if the required WebKit-6.0/Gtk-4.0/Gdk-4.0/JavaScriptCore-6.0
and Soup-3.0 GObject-Introspection typelibs can be loaded, false
otherwise. Safe to call before C<new> to fail gracefully (e.g. to C<plan
skip_all> a test) instead
of letting C<new> die. Checking typelib availability does not require a
display.

=head2 new

    my $b = EV::WebKit->new(%options);

Constructs a new browser: sets up (once per process) the GObject
Introspection typelibs, initializes GTK4 (only once a display is known --
see L</"LIMITATIONS">), creates a WebKit network session, user content
manager, web context and view, and shows a native GTK4 window containing
it. Dies if the typelibs are unavailable or if no X display can be
determined (see C<display> below). C<%options>:

=over 4

=item C<< window => [$width, $height] >>

Initial window size in pixels. Default C<[1280, 1024]>.

A C<fingerprint> profile overrides this where the two would contradict each
other, since a window larger than the screen it claims to be on is itself a
tell: a mobile profile sizes the window to the profile's own screen and ignores
C<window> outright, and a desktop profile caps each dimension at its screen's.

=item C<< display => ':N' >>

Sets C<$ENV{DISPLAY}> to this value before initializing GTK. If omitted, an
already-exported C<$DISPLAY> is used; if neither is available, C<new> dies
telling you to run under C<xvfb-run> or pass this option -- EV::WebKit
never starts an X server itself (see L</"LIMITATIONS">).

B<One display per process.> GTK connects to a display once and cannot be
moved to another, so every instance after the first shares the first one's
display. Passing a C<display> that disagrees with it croaks rather than
being silently ignored.

=item C<< timeout => $seconds >>

Default per-operation timeout, in seconds. Applies to every async operation
that can block -- navigation (C<go>/C<load_html>/C<back>/C<forward>/
C<reload>), C<script>/C<script_async>, C<find>/C<find_all>/C<find_js>/
C<find_all_js> and the L<EV::WebKit::Element> accessors, C<frames> and
everything routed through a frame, C<resize>, C<html>, C<screenshot>, C<pdf>,
and the cookie operations
(C<set_cookie>/C<cookies>/C<clear_cookies>/C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies>) --
and is the default for C<wait_for>'s and C<pdf>'s own C<timeout> option, and C<wait_for_navigation>'s. On expiry the operation's
callback is resolved with C<$err eq 'timeout'>. Default C<30>.

C<download> is the deliberate exception: a large file legitimately takes longer
than any per-operation timeout would allow, so a download is bounded only by
the server and by C<quit>. Use C<< $dl->cancel >> to end one early.

=item C<< popups => 'follow' | 'block' >>

What to do with a navigation that asks for a new window. Documented in full
under L</EVENTS>, with the rest of the options that shape how the browser
reacts to the page.

=item C<< user_agent => $string >>

Sets the initial User-Agent (equivalent to calling C<set_user_agent> right
after construction).

=item C<< ephemeral => $bool >>

Use an ephemeral (in-memory, non-persistent) network session when true, or
an on-disk/persistent one when false. Default C<1>. Forced to C<0>
automatically when C<cookie_jar> is given -- native cookie persistence
requires a non-ephemeral session (see C<cookie_jar> below).

=item C<< devtools => 1 >>

Enables the C<enable-developer-extras> setting at construction time
(required before the Web Inspector will do anything useful; see
C<show_devtools>).

=item C<< title => $string >>

Sets the native GTK4 window's title.

=item C<< chrome => 1 >>

Build a minimal browser chrome: a GNOME header bar with back, forward and
reload buttons and an address entry, installed as the window title bar.
Intended for visible use on a real display; harmless under xvfb-run. The
reload button turns into a stop button while a page is loading. The address
entry navigates on Enter (https:// is assumed when no scheme is given) and
tracks the current page uri except while it has keyboard focus. The window
title follows the page title. Automation methods keep working unchanged.

=item C<< cookie_jar => $path >>

Configures C<$path> as this instance's native, WebKit-managed persistent
cookie store (forces a non-ephemeral session -- see C<ephemeral> above).
Cookies with a real expiry (a C<max_age> greater than C<0>, or a
C<Set-Cookie: ...; Max-Age=>/C<Expires=> response header) are written to
C<$path> automatically and read back automatically by any later instance
pointed at the same file -- no C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> call needed.
SESSION cookies (no expiry) are I<excluded> from this store by design (RFC
6265, same as every real browser); use C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> to
snapshot those. See L</"Cookie Management"> and L</"LIMITATIONS">.
Do not point save_cookies/load_cookies at the same file as cookie_jar: the
native store and the JSON snapshot are different formats written by
independent writers, and sharing a path will corrupt the file.

=item C<< jar_format => 'sqlite' | 'text' >>

Storage format for the persistent cookie store. C<sqlite> (default) is
queryable with C<sqlite3>; C<text> is a human-readable Netscape-format cookie
file. It applies to whichever store exists: C<cookie_jar>'s file if you gave
one, otherwise C<data_dir>'s own (C<cookies.txt> under C<text>, rather than
C<cookies.sqlite>). Ignored only when neither option is given.

=item C<< data_dir => $path >>

Points this instance's entire session -- cookies, C<localStorage>,
C<IndexedDB>, the HTTP cache, service-worker state -- at C<$path>, and restores
it whenever an instance is later built with the same C<$path>. Two instances
with different C<data_dir>s share nothing. Forces a non-ephemeral session (see
C<ephemeral> above); C<< data_dir => ..., ephemeral => 1 >> croaks.

C<data_dir> persists what C<cookie_jar> does B<and more>: C<localStorage>,
C<IndexedDB>, the cache and service-worker state, none of which C<cookie_jar>
touches. Cookies persist under the same rule as C<cookie_jar> -- those with a
real expiry -- written to a C<< $data_dir/cookies.sqlite >>, or
C<cookies.txt> under C<< jar_format => 'text' >> (see L</"LIMITATIONS">), and
only when C<cookie_jar> was not given as well.
Two things are B<never> written to disk: session cookies
(no expiry -- RFC 6265, use C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> to snapshot those)
and C<sessionStorage> (WebKit treats it as inherently per-session).

C<data_dir> and C<cookie_jar> compose, but not additively for cookies: there is
one cookie store, and C<cookie_jar> B<replaces> the one C<data_dir> would have
used rather than adding to it. Everything else -- C<localStorage>,
C<IndexedDB>, the cache, service workers -- still goes under C<data_dir>. So a
session saved with both and later reopened with C<data_dir> alone finds no
cookies: keep passing C<cookie_jar> if you passed it once. A relative C<$path>
is resolved against
the current directory at construction time. C<$path> (and any missing parent
directories) is created for you; an empty string, a path that is already a
non-directory file, or a path with no writable ancestor croaks from C<new>
rather than failing later.

Do not point C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> at C<data_dir>'s own cookie file
(C<< $path/cookies.sqlite >>, or C<cookies.txt>), for the same reason as
C<cookie_jar>: they are
different formats written by independent writers. And note C<load_cookies>
replaces any cookie with the same name/domain/path -- since a loaded cookie
comes back as a session cookie (no expiry survives a snapshot), loading a
snapshot into a C<data_dir> instance can B<downgrade> an already-persisted
cookie of that identity, dropping it from the store on the next C<quit>.

B<One live instance per C<data_dir> at a time.> WebKit's C<localStorage> and
C<IndexedDB> databases are not built for concurrent writers, so two live
instances pointed at the same C<data_dir> in one process can corrupt them --
the same caution as not sharing a file between C<cookie_jar> and
C<save_cookies>.

=item C<< cache_dir => $path >>

Overrides where C<data_dir>'s disposable cache is written (default:
C<< $data_dir/cache >>). Useful for putting the regenerable cache on C<tmpfs>,
or keeping a backed-up C<data_dir> free of it. A relative C<cache_dir> is
resolved against the current directory (like C<data_dir>), B<not> nested inside
C<data_dir>. Ignored -- and a croak -- unless C<data_dir> is given, since a
cache dir with no data dir would leak cache to WebKit's shared location and
defeat the isolation.

=item C<< proxy => $uri >> or C<< proxy => { default => $uri, ignore => [@hosts] } >>

Equivalent to calling C<set_proxy> right after construction (see
L</"Network">). An invalid proxy URI croaks out of the constructor itself,
same as calling C<set_proxy> directly.

=item C<< fingerprint => 'windows-chrome' >> or C<< fingerprint => { profile => 'windows-chrome', ... } >>

Present this instance as a coherent real device at the JavaScript layer, using
NATIVE property getters (installed by a bundled web-process extension) that
report C<[native code]> and so defeat the C<toString> detection a pure-JS
override cannot. A preset name selects a shipped profile; a hashref takes a
preset as its C<profile> base and overrides individual fields. Construct-time
only (the device cannot change mid-session). Passing both C<fingerprint> and
C<user_agent> croaks -- the profile sets the UA; override it via
C<< fingerprint => { ..., user_agent => ... } >>.

Requires the web-process extension, compiled at install if C<cc> + glib/gobject
are present; check L</fingerprint_available>. Note: if the extension is present
but fails to load inside the web process (an arch/symbol mismatch), the profile's
User-Agent is still applied while the JS-property spoof is not -- an incoherent
state the module cannot detect from the UI process. B<Coverage:> C<navigator>
(platform, vendor, languages, hardwareConcurrency, deviceMemory, maxTouchPoints),
C<screen>, C<devicePixelRatio>, and the WebGL GPU vendor/renderer strings. The
navigator/screen getters are installed natively, on the prototype and
enumerable, so they read as the engine's own to everything except
C<Function.prototype.toString> -- see the Ceiling below, which is where the
remaining tells are enumerated honestly.

A B<coherence layer> fills the gaps a bare navigator/screen spoof would leave: a
Chrome profile also gets C<window.chrome> and a working C<navigator.userAgentData>
(brands/platform plus an async C<getHighEntropyValues>); a mobile profile sizes
the window to the profile's screen (so C<window.innerWidth E<lt>= screen.width>),
adds C<ontouchstart>, and overrides the C<pointer>/C<hover>/C<resolution> media
queries. Unlike the native navigator/screen getters, this layer -- and the WebGL
C<getParameter> override -- is installed as JS (a native replacement cannot
delegate the non-spoofed cases: a JSC C function receives no C<this>). The values
are correct and consistent, but their getters/methods show JS source under a
C<Function.prototype.toString.call> (or a getter-C<toString>) check, so a
determined script can still detect the C<userAgentData>/C<matchMedia>/WebGL
wrappers.

WebGL spoofs the full per-profile B<capability set>, not only the UNMASKED
vendor/renderer strings: the numeric parameters (C<MAX_TEXTURE_SIZE> and friends),
the supported-extension list, and C<getShaderPrecisionFormat> all return the
claimed GPU family's values on both WebGL1 and WebGL2, coherent with the renderer
string. The advertised list is authoritative: C<getExtension> returns C<undef> for
anything not on it, the real object when the host GL genuinely has it, and
otherwise a minimal stub (carrying that extension's constants for the commonly
probed ones, an empty object for the rest -- see the B<Ceiling> notes below).
Extension names are
matched case-insensitively, as the spec requires, and an extension's own pnames
(the UNMASKED pair, C<MAX_TEXTURE_MAX_ANISOTROPY_EXT>) are answered only once
C<getExtension> has enabled that extension on the context -- before that they
report C<null> and raise C<INVALID_ENUM>, exactly as a real context does.

The capability tables are a curated subset covering the parameters fingerprinters
actually read; a pname not in the table falls through to the real host value.

The B<DOM interface set> is aligned per profile too: a Chrome profile exposes
C<navigator.connection>, C<usb>, C<bluetooth>, C<getBattery>, C<scheduling> and
C<RTCPeerConnection> (the Android profile correctly omits C<hid>/C<serial>); a
Safari profile exposes only C<storage> and C<RTCPeerConnection>. Every stub is
installed only when the build lacks the real API, so a WebKitGTK that ships one
keeps it.

B<PDF viewer presence> follows the profile as well. The HTML specification
hardcodes both states: a browser that displays PDFs inline reports
C<navigator.pdfViewerEnabled> true and five fixed plugin names, one that does
not reports false and B<empty> C<plugins>/C<mimeTypes> lists. WebKitGTK reports
the viewer-present state, which is correct for desktop Chrome, desktop Safari
and iOS Safari -- but B<not> for C<pixel-chrome>: Chrome for Android had no
inline PDF viewer at 131 (it shipped 2024-11, the Android viewer appeared behind
a flag in 2024-12 and became default-on only in Chrome 135, 2025-04), so that
profile reports the empty state. Override per instance with
C<< pdf_viewer => 0|1 >>. The empty lists are real C<PluginArray>/
C<MimeTypeArray> objects, cached like a real browser's, with C<length> left on
the prototype where it belongs.

B<Ceiling:> the spoof is thorough but not perfect, and these residuals remain.
B<Workers are not covered at all.> The extension hooks
C<window-object-cleared>, which fires only for window globals, so a
C<Worker>/C<SharedWorker>/C<ServiceWorker> global keeps the real
C<navigator.platform>, C<languages> and hardware values and gets no readback
noise -- while its C<userAgent> B<is> spoofed (that comes from the browser
settings, not this extension). Reading C<navigator.platform> on both sides of a
C<postMessage>, or hashing an C<OffscreenCanvas> inside a worker, defeats the
whole layer; treat a page that uses workers as unprotected.
The native navigator/screen getters are also still identifiable by the source
B<text> C<Function.prototype.toString> reports for them: a real accessor renders
as C<function E<lt>propE<gt>() { [native code] }> while these render as
C<function get() { [native code] }>. The name and C<[native code]> marker are
correct, but the embedded identifier is not, and it cannot be corrected without
replacing the getter with JavaScript -- which costs far more than it saves.
The JS-installed layers (C<userAgentData>/C<matchMedia>/WebGL/readback/feature
stubs) show JS source under C<Function.prototype.toString.call> B<and> under a
plain C<toString()>, so a determined script can still detect them. They
deliberately carry no own C<toString> mask: such a mask defeats only the plain
check -- C<Function.prototype.toString.call> bypasses an own property and reveals
the wrapper anyway -- while leaving an artifact no real function has, which
C<Object.keys> enumerates across the whole JS layer with no false positives.
Trading a weak defence for a precise tell is a bad exchange, so the wrappers are
left honest. Readback
noise, when C<seed> is set, is content-independent, so a script that renders a
known image and reads it back can recover and undo it. It is also applied at
B<read> time rather than stored, so it does not survive a round trip: writing
back what was just read (C<putImageData>), or encoding and re-decoding through
C<toDataURL>/C<toBlob>, yields the un-noised pixels, and comparing the two
detects that noise is active without knowing the content. B<Without> C<seed>,
canvas/AudioContext/WebGL-pixel readback reflects the real host output (often
software/llvmpipe) and is not disguised at all. The C<matchMedia> override
answers JS queries (including compound and comma-separated ones), but B<CSS>
C<@media> rules are evaluated by the engine and still reflect the real device, so
a page that compares C<getComputedStyle> against C<matchMedia> sees a
contradiction on a mobile or hi-DPI profile. The WebGL capability values are
the canonical set for each GPU family, so a fingerprinter with a per-driver
database could still find a mismatch, and any pname outside the curated tables
still reports the host's real value. Stubbed extensions and C<RTCPeerConnection>
have no real runtime behaviour (no ICE, no devices), so a script that exercises
their functionality -- rather than merely detecting their presence -- can spot
the stub; an advertised extension the host GL lacks is an object with the right
constants but no working methods. C<navigator.languages> is a real array with
the profile's tags, but B<not> a C<FrozenArray>: a real browser caches one
frozen array and returns it every time, so C<navigator.languages ===
navigator.languages> and C<Object.isFrozen(navigator.languages)> are both true
there and false here. Closing that was built and then reverted -- caching one
frozen array per JS context works, but a C<JSCValue> holds a strong reference to
its C<JSCContext>, making cache/array/context a refcount cycle whose destroy
notify never runs, which leaks an entire JS context per navigation; and
anchoring the array on the JavaScript side instead would turn C<languages> into
a B<data> property where every real browser has an accessor, a louder tell than
the one being fixed. Encoding a large canvas through C<toDataURL>
is markedly slower with C<seed> set, which is itself weakly timeable. And this is the JS layer only -- the
network-layer fingerprint (TLS JA3/JA4, HTTP/2) is untouched unless you also
enable C<network_fingerprint> (below). A self-consistent B<custom> profile is
your responsibility.

=item C<< fonts => \@dirs >>, C<< fonts => \%spec >> or C<< fonts => $conf_file >>

Replace the font set the engine can see. The installed fonts are a platform
tell in their own right, independent of anything C<fingerprint> spoofs: a
profile claiming Windows on a box whose only sans-serif faces are DejaVu and
Noto is answering "Linux" to anything that measures text.

Three spellings, cheapest first:

    fonts => [ '/srv/fonts/win' ]                # only these directories

    fonts => { dirs       => [ '/srv/fonts/win' ],
               sans_serif => 'Arial',
               serif      => 'Times New Roman',
               monospace  => 'Courier New' }     # ...and what the generics mean

    fonts => '/srv/fonts/win.conf'               # your own fontconfig file

The directory forms write a fontconfig file naming exactly those directories
and nothing else, so the host's fonts are B<not> visible -- this changes what
the engine B<has>, rather than lying about it in JavaScript, which is why it
survives being measured rather than merely asked.

Give the generic families if you can. Without them all three resolve to
whichever face matches first, so C<sans-serif>, C<serif> and C<monospace>
measure identically -- wrong on the page, and a fingerprint of its own. The
system rules that normally supply them cannot be reused: F</etc/fonts/conf.d>
carries C<< <dir> >> entries, and including it would put the host's fonts
straight back.

The file form is passed to fontconfig untouched; every absolute C<< <dir> >>
and C<< <cachedir> >> in it that exists is made visible to the web process.

Two things to know. The web process runs inside a sandbox, so the config and
every directory it names are bound into it explicitly -- pointing
C<FONTCONFIG_FILE> at a font set without that does nothing at all, silently.
And fontconfig is configured per B<process>, not per view: this sets an
environment variable read once by each web process as it starts, so one font
set per program, not one per browser.

What it cannot do is give you fonts you do not have. Metric-compatible
substitutes exist for a few faces (Liberation for Arial, Times New Roman and
Courier New; Carlito and Caladea for Calibri and Cambria), but the ones that
identify an OS -- Segoe UI, SF Pro -- have none, so a page that measures those
by name still sees a fallback. This narrows the gap; it does not close it.

=item C<< seed => 12345 >>

Enable seeded B<readback noise> on canvas, C<AudioContext>, and WebGL pixel
readback (opt-in; requires C<fingerprint>). The seed is a non-negative integer.
The perturbation is a content-independent function of the seed and the readback
position -- absolute canvas or drawing-buffer coordinates for pixels, the frame
index for audio samples -- so the same sample re-read through any API, rectangle
or offset gives the same value. A fully opaque pixel gets an LSB flip. A
partially transparent one is moved to an B<adjacent reachable value> instead:
C<getImageData> returns un-premultiplied bytes, so only a lattice of values is
producible at a given alpha and an LSB flip would land off it (the step is
therefore larger than one LSB at low alpha). WebGL C<readPixels> returns the
premultiplied value directly, so there the step is applied to that value. Only
engine-B<rendered> audio buffers are touched, never one the page authored. The
seed is reduced modulo 2**32, so seeds congruent mod 2**32 give identical noise.
That makes the hardware-readback hash B<stable> within a session, yet
different from the automation host's real output (hiding llvmpipe/software GL)
and different across seeds -- so the same profile can present distinct machines.
Wrapped: C<getImageData>, C<toDataURL>/C<toBlob> (via an offscreen copy, so the
encoded image carries the noise and WebGL-backed canvases are covered too),
C<AudioBuffer.getChannelData>/C<copyFromChannel>, the C<AnalyserNode> frequency and time-domain
readers, and C<readPixels>. Without C<seed>, none of this is installed and
readback behaves exactly as before. See the B<Ceiling> notes under
C<fingerprint> above for the residuals.

=item C<< network_fingerprint => 1 >> or C<< network_fingerprint => 'chrome124' >>

Also match the B<connection> fingerprint (TLS JA3/JA4 + HTTP/2 Akamai) to the
C<fingerprint> profile, so the origin sees one coherent device at the network
layer too. Requires C<fingerprint>. It spins an in-process L<Proxy::Impersonate>
on this instance's EV loop and routes the browser through it: the proxy
terminates WebKit's TLS locally and re-originates each request as the matching
real browser via C<libcurl-impersonate>. The curl target is derived from the
profile (C<windows-chrome> -> C<chrome131>, C<macos-safari> -> C<safari18_0>,
C<iphone-safari> -> C<safari18_0_ios>, C<pixel-chrome> -> C<chrome131_android>);
pass a string to override it.

The profile's identity headers (User-Agent + C<Sec-CH-UA>) are forced over the
curl target's defaults, so even a Windows profile is coherent on the (macOS-built)
C<chrome131> target -- Windows and macOS Chrome share the same TLS/HTTP2, so only
the header values differ. WebKit is told to accept the proxy's self-signed cert
(C<set_tls_errors_policy('ignore')>); this is safe because the browser-to-proxy
hop is localhost and the proxy re-verifies the real origin upstream. WebKitGTK 6.0
exposes no custom-CA path (a spike confirmed it honors neither C<SSL_CERT_FILE>
nor a settable C<GTlsDatabase>), which is why the C<IGNORE> policy is used.

Requires the optional L<Proxy::Impersonate> toolchain (which builds
C<curl-impersonate> via L<Alien::curlimpersonate>); croaks if it is unavailable.
Mutually exclusive with an explicit C<proxy>. Out of scope: WebSockets, HTTP/3.

=head1 METHODS

=head2 Navigation

Load pages and read basic document state.

=head3 go

    $b->go($uri, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });

Loads C<$uri>. On success C<$result> is true; on failure (or timeout)
C<$err> is set. If a previous navigation on this instance was still
in-flight, its callback is immediately invoked with C<$err eq
'superseded'>. The callback fires just after WebKit's own
C<load-changed:finished> signal -- once the document C<title> has crossed
from the web process, which it does a fraction of a millisecond later
(C<uri> needs no such wait; it is set before C<finished>). A page with no
C<< <title> >> never sends that notification, and settles on a 150ms
deadline instead. C<on_load> (if configured) fires right after the
callback. Returns C<$b> (chainable).

B<Same-document navigation is not observable from here, and resolves with>
C<$err eq 'timeout'>. A fragment-only C<< go("$here#section") >>, and
C<back>/C<forward> across such a boundary, change the uri without loading
anything -- and WebKitGTK emits B<no> load event for them, so nothing tells this
module they happened. The uri does move (C<uri> reports it, and the page really
did navigate); only the callback is left waiting.

Predicting it instead of observing it was tried and abandoned: every rule for
"this one will not reload" is falsifiable -- by the outgoing page touching its
own hash while the new load is in flight, by C<history.pushState> having moved
the uri out from under the guess, by a web-process crash -- and each
falsification reports B<success for a page that never loaded>, which is worse
than the wait it removes. So drive these from the page, where they are not a
guess:

    $b->script('location.hash = "section"; return location.href;', $cb);

and use C<wait_for>/C<wait_for_js> if the page reacts asynchronously.

=head3 load_html

    $b->load_html($html, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });

Loads a literal HTML string as the document, with the same completion
semantics as C<go> (no URI, so it does not count toward C<save_cookies>'s
default URI list). Returns C<$b>.

=head2 Navigation history

    $b->back(sub { my ($ok, $err) = @_; ... });     # optional callback
    $b->forward($cb);
    $b->reload($cb);
    $b->stop;
    $b->can_go_back;      # 1 or 0
    $b->can_go_forward;   # 1 or 0

back, forward and reload behave like go: the optional trailing callback is
invoked as ($ok, $err) when the resulting navigation finishes (or fails or
times out). Calling back/forward when the history has no entry in that
direction invokes the callback with the error 'cannot go back' /
'cannot go forward', and reload on an instance that has never navigated with
'nothing to reload' (as go with no uri gives 'go: uri required'). stop aborts
the current load and returns the browser object; it takes no callback. can_go_back / can_go_forward are synchronous
and return 1 or 0.

Note: load_html does not add entries to the back-forward list; only real
navigations (go, links, redirects) do.

=head3 uri

    my $uri = $b->uri;

Current document URI. Synchronous.

=head3 title

    my $title = $b->title;

Current document title. Synchronous.

=head3 is_loading

    my $bool = $b->is_loading;

True while a navigation is in progress. Synchronous.

=head3 status

    my $code = $b->status;      # 200, 404, 500, ... or undef

HTTP status of the current document, or C<undef> if the load had none.
Synchronous, and available from the moment the document commits -- so reading it
inside a C<go> callback works.

B<You need this to detect a failed page, because the navigation callback will
not tell you.> WebKit treats a 404 or a 500 as a perfectly successful load --
they have bodies and it displays them -- so C<$ok> is true and C<$err> is
C<undef> for both:

    $b->go($uri, sub {
        my ($ok, $err) = @_;
        # warn + break, not die: a die here only reaches $EV::DIED
        if ($err) { warn "navigation failed: $err\n"; return EV::break }   # transport-level only
        my $st = $b->status // 0;
        if ($st >= 400) { warn "server said $st\n"; return EV::break }     # what you actually meant
    });

A redirect chain reports the B<final> response, not the redirect: a 301 that
lands on a 200 reports 200.

C<undef> means the load carried no HTTP status, which covers two cases worth
telling apart in your head:

=over 4

=item *

There was no HTTP transaction at all -- C<load_html>, and some custom schemes.

=item *

There was a transaction but no response line -- some custom schemes, and a
connection the engine reports as reaching an error page rather than failing.

=back

A refused connection and a DNS failure do B<not> land here: they resolve the
navigation with C<$ok> C<undef> and C<$err> set to a C<load failed: ...>
string, so check C<$err> first and only then C<status>. (One exception is worth
knowing because it looks like a counter-example: a connection to a port the
host blocks outright, rather than refusing, can be reported by the engine as a
completed load of its own error page -- C<$ok> true with C<undef> status.)

=head3 html

    $b->html(sub { my ($html, $err) = @_; ... });

Fetches the full serialized document markup as C<$html>
(C<document.documentElement.outerHTML>), or C<undef> if there is no document
element. Asynchronous, like C<script>.

=head2 JavaScript Execution

Run arbitrary JavaScript in the page and get JSON-marshalled results back.
Strings crossing this bridge in either direction are full Unicode CHARACTER
data, not bytes -- a Perl string with non-ASCII characters (e.g. built with
C<\x{e9}> escapes, or read from a C<:utf8> filehandle) passed via
C<script_async>'s C<\%args> or an element's C<type>/C<send_keys> arrives in
JS as the same text, and a JS string returned from C<script> or read via an
element accessor (C<text>, C<value>, ...) comes back as the same Perl
character string. Do not C<utf8::encode> a string before handing it to any
of these; that would turn it into a byte string and produce mojibake on the
JS side instead.

=head3 script

    $b->script($js, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });

Runs C<$js> as the body of an C<async> function (so top-level C<await>
works) and JSON-marshals its C<return> value back as C<$result> (a plain
scalar, arrayref, or hashref; JS C<undefined> or no C<return> becomes Perl
C<undef>). A thrown JS exception becomes C<$err>. Returns C<$b>.

=head3 script_async

    $b->script_async($body, \%args, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });
    $b->script_async($body, sub { ... });          # no arguments to pass

Same as C<script>, but C<\%args> is JSON-encoded and made available inside
C<$body> as the const C<A> (e.g. C<A.foo>). This is the primitive
C<find>/C<find_all>/element methods are built on. Returns C<$b>.

C<\%args> may be omitted entirely, which spells this exactly like C<script>.

=head3 press

    $b->press($key, %modifiers, $cb);   # $cb->($not_cancelled, $err)

Sends C<keydown>, optionally C<keypress>, then C<keyup> to whatever currently
has focus (else C<document.body>). Modifiers: C<shift>, C<ctrl>, C<alt>,
C<meta>. Resolves false if a handler called C<preventDefault> on the keydown.

    $b->press('Escape', sub { ... });          # close a modal
    $b->press('Enter', ctrl => 1, sub { ... });

For keyboard B<handlers> -- Escape closing a dialog, Enter submitting a form
that listens for it, arrows driving a widget.

B<It does not type.> A synthetic C<KeyboardEvent> has C<isTrusted> false, and no
engine performs the default text insertion for one, so C<< press('a') >> leaves
an input's value untouched -- silently. Use L<EV::WebKit::Element/type> to edit
a field.

As in a real browser, C<keypress> is sent only for keys that produce a
character -- which includes C<Enter>, so C<onkeypress> handlers testing for
C<keyCode> 13 work -- and not at all if the keydown was cancelled. C<keyup>
goes to whatever has focus when it is sent, not to whatever had it at
C<keydown>, so a handler that moves focus (the usual thing for C<Tab> and
C<Enter>) behaves as it does under a real key.

C<keyCode> and C<event.code> both carry what a real browser sends, from one
table so they cannot disagree:

=over 4

=item *

Named keys (C<Enter>, C<Escape>, C<Tab>, C<Backspace>, C<Delete>, the arrows,
C<Home>, C<End>, C<PageUp>, C<PageDown>) get their usual C<keyCode>, and the
name itself as C<code>.

=item *

A letter gets its uppercase ordinal and C<KeyQ>; a digit its ordinal and
C<Digit5>.

=item *

ASCII punctuation gets the legacy US-layout value -- C<.> is 190 and C<Period>,
C<'> is 222 and C<Quote>, and so on for C<,> C<;> C</> C<-> C<=> C<[> C<]>
C<\> C<`> and space.

=item *

A shifted character such as C<!>, or any non-ASCII one, names no physical key by
itself -- which key produced it depends on the layout. Those report C<code>
C<''> and C<keyCode> C<0>, the pair a browser uses for a key it cannot
identify. (Deriving a number from the character instead would not merely be
wrong, it would B<impersonate another key>: C<ord('.')> is 46, which is
C<Delete>, and C<< ord("'") >> is 39, which is C<ArrowRight>.)

=back

=head3 scroll

    $b->scroll(y => 500, $cb);                  # absolute
    $b->scroll(x => 40, y => 500, $cb);         # both axes
    $b->scroll(by => 1, y => 100, $cb);         # relative to where you are
    $b->scroll(to => 'bottom', $cb);            # the infinite-scroll case
    $b->scroll(y => 500, cb => $cb);            # the callback, named

Scrolls the page and resolves with the resulting C<< { x, y } >>. Options are
C<x> and C<y> (absolute offsets in CSS pixels), C<< by => 1 >> to make them
relative to the current position, and C<< to => 'top' >> / C<< to => 'bottom' >>.
C<< to => 'bottom' >> computes the document height rather than guessing a large
number, which is what makes it reliable for lazy-loading pages. C<< to => 'top' >>
resets both axes; C<< to => 'bottom' >> moves only C<y> and leaves C<x> where it
was.

The callback may be passed as a trailing argument, like every other method here,
or as the named C<cb> option (C<callback> is accepted as a synonym) -- this is
the one method that takes both, because every other argument it takes is named.
Passing it both ways at once croaks rather than silently using one of them.

The scroll is B<instant>, and deliberately overrides the page's own CSS
C<scroll-behavior: smooth> if it has one. Under that property the scroll is an
animation: it has not happened yet when the callback runs, so the reported
position would be the one you started from and anything you did next -- a
screenshot, a L<EV::WebKit::Element/box> -- would see the old viewport.
L<EV::WebKit::Element/scroll_into_view> does the same.

=head3 resize

    $b->resize($width, $height, sub { my ($size, $err) = @_; ... });

Resizes the window, and so the viewport. C<$size> is C<< { width, height } >> as
the B<page> sees it (C<window.innerWidth>/C<innerHeight>), read back after the
resize has actually landed rather than assumed from the request -- GTK round
trips through the display server, and under a real window manager the request
can be clamped or refused outright. A resize that never takes effect is
therefore not an error: you get the size you actually have.

The numbers are CSS pixels, so C<zoom> scales them: at C<< zoom(2) >> a
400-pixel-wide window reports 200. C<< chrome => 1 >> takes its own share too --
the header bar and GTK4's client-side decorations leave a 400x320 request with a
390x264 viewport (measured) -- which is why this settles on the viewport holding
still rather than on it reaching the numbers you asked for.

C<window> at construction is the same setting; this is for changing it
afterwards, e.g. to render a page at a mobile width without building a second
instance.

=head3 zoom

    my $level = $b->zoom;      # get
    $b->zoom(2);               # set, returns $b

Page zoom as a multiplier; C<1> is unzoomed. Synchronous both ways. This is the
browser's own zoom, so it changes C<devicePixelRatio> and the CSS pixel size of
the viewport -- which is exactly what you want for a hi-dpi screenshot, and
exactly what you do not want if a C<fingerprint> profile has already fixed
C<devicePixelRatio> for you.

=head2 Elements

Locate DOM elements and hand back L<EV::WebKit::Element> handles.

=head3 find

    $b->find($selector, sub { my ($el, $err) = @_; ... });

Runs C<document.querySelector($selector)>. C<$el> is an
L<EV::WebKit::Element> on a match, or C<undef> if nothing matched --
not-found is not an error (C<$err> is C<undef> in that case too).

=head3 Addressing an iframe

C<find>, C<find_all> and C<wait_for> take an optional C<< frame => >> naming a
frame to search inside, instead of the top-level document. There are two forms,
and the frame's origin decides which one you can use.

For a B<same-origin> frame, give a CSS selector for the C<< <iframe> >> element
itself:

    $b->find('#card-number', frame => '#payment', sub { ... });

Pass an arrayref to walk a chain of nested frames, outermost first:

    $b->find('#deep', frame => ['#outer', '#inner'], sub { ... });

This form is page script walking C<contentDocument>, so it stops dead at a
cross-origin boundary: such a frame fails with an error naming cross-origin as
the reason rather than reporting the element as merely absent. For C<find> and
C<find_all>, a frame selector that matches nothing is likewise an error, not a
silent miss -- the two are worth telling apart when a page is still loading.

C<wait_for> is the deliberate exception: a frame that is not there B<yet> is
the ordinary case for a page that injects its iframe after load, so C<wait_for>
polls through a missing frame rather than failing on it, and gives up only at
its own timeout. With C<< gone => 1 >> a missing frame resolves true, since the
selector inside it matches nothing -- which does mean a typo'd frame selector
plus C<< gone => 1 >> succeeds immediately.

A dead C<< { id => } >> is the one thing it will not wait for. An id names a
frame that already existed, and once that frame is gone the id can never name
anything again, so C<wait_for> fails on it at once with C<frame is gone>
instead of polling to its timeout.

For a B<cross-origin> frame -- a hosted payment form, a third-party widget --
name it by URL instead:

    $b->find('#card-number', frame => { url => 'https://pay.example/form' }, sub { ... });
    $b->find('#card-number', frame => { url => qr{^https://pay\.} },         sub { ... });

The URL is matched against the frame's current URL, exactly for a string or by
pattern for a C<qr//>, and must identify B<one> frame: both no match and more
than one are errors, because acting on the wrong payment iframe is worse than
not acting at all. Only child frames are considered -- the main frame is what
you get by leaving C<frame> out.

Two frames on the B<same> URL are the one case this cannot resolve, and
L</frames> will not resolve it either: it returns them in the web process's own
order, which is stable within a run but is B<not> document order, and no field
it gives you (id, url, is_main) says which is which. Sorting by id does not
recover document order. So:

=over 4

=item *

If they are same-origin, use the selector form -- C<< frame => '#checkout' >> --
which addresses them positionally through the DOM.

=item *

If they are cross-origin, make the URLs distinguishable. A query parameter the
page controls is enough, and you are usually the one embedding them.

=back

A C<< frame => { id => $id } >> is still the right thing when you have an id
you trust -- one you kept from an earlier C<find> whose handle you still hold,
say -- but do not derive it by position from L</frames>.

C<url> and C<id> are alternatives: give exactly one.

This form does not run in the page at all. It goes to the web-process
extension, which sees every frame directly and is not bound by the same-origin
policy, so it reaches what the selector form cannot. That means it needs the
extension to have been built at install time (see L<EV::WebKit::Fingerprint>),
and says so plainly rather than timing out if it was not.

An element found through either form behaves like any other: its methods act on
the node inside the frame.

The two forms differ in where that happens, and C<< $el->frame_id >> says
which. A handle from the C<< { url|id => } >> form carries the frame's id, and
every later call on it -- and on anything C<find> returns from it -- is
evaluated by the extension B<in that frame>. A handle from the selector form
has C<frame_id> C<undef>, because it was reached by main-frame script walking
C<contentDocument> and is operated on the same way; so is any handle from the
main frame itself.

Neither kind outlives its page, but they report that differently. Once the
frame is removed or the page navigates away, a frame-bound handle fails with
C<frame is gone>, while a selector-reached one fails with the ordinary
C<stale element>. Either way, resolve the frame again after a navigation rather
than holding onto anything across one.

=head3 frames

    $b->frames(sub { my ($frames, $err) = @_; ... });

The frames the page has right now, as an arrayref of C<< { id, url, main } >>.
Use it to see what C<< frame => { url => ... } >> has to choose between. The
C<id> is opaque, page-scoped and only meaningful while that frame lives, so
pass it straight back as C<< frame => { id => $id } >> rather than writing it
down and reusing it after a navigation.

The order is the web process's own -- stable within a run, but B<not> document
order, and not recoverable by sorting. So this does not tell apart two frames
on the same URL either; see C<< frame => >> above for what to do instead.

Like the C<< { url => } >> form above, this needs the web-process extension.

=head3 find_all

    $b->find_all($selector, sub { my ($els, $err) = @_; ... });

Like C<find>, but C<querySelectorAll>: C<$els> is a (possibly empty)
arrayref of L<EV::WebKit::Element>.

=head3 find_js / find_all_js

    $b->find_js($javascript, %opts, sub { my ($el, $err) = @_; ... });
    $b->find_all_js($javascript, %opts, sub { my ($els, $err) = @_; ... });

Find elements with your own JavaScript instead of a CSS selector, and get the
same L<EV::WebKit::Element> handles back. The snippet is a function body: it
must C<return> a DOM node (or C<undef>/C<null> for no match) for C<find_js>, and
an array or NodeList of nodes for C<find_all_js>.

This is the way to reach what CSS cannot name:

    # XPath
    $b->find_js('return document.evaluate("//tr[td[contains(.,\'Invoice 42\')]]//a",
                                          document, null, 9, null).singleNodeValue;', $cb);

    # by visible text
    $b->find_js('return [...document.querySelectorAll("button")]
                        .find(b => b.textContent.trim() === "Next");', $cb);

    # inside a shadow root, which querySelector does not cross at all
    $b->find_js('return document.querySelector("#host").shadowRoot.querySelector(".deep");', $cb);

C<%opts>:

=over 4

=item C<< args => \%hash >>

Values the snippet reads as C<A.name>, marshalled as JSON exactly as
C<script_async>'s are.

=item C<< frame => { url => ... } >> or C<< frame => { id => ... } >>

Run the snippet in that frame (see L</"Addressing an iframe">). The selector
chain form is B<not> accepted here -- it is a walk through C<contentDocument>
that the snippet can do for itself, and rewriting the snippet's idea of
C<document> is not something this can do behind your back.

=back

Unlike C<script>, the snippet runs in the module's own isolated world -- the
same one the element registry lives in, which is what makes handing a node back
possible at all. It therefore does B<not> see the page's own globals; use
C<script> for those. A snippet that returns something other than a node (or a
list of them) fails with an error saying so, rather than a handle to nothing.

=head3 wait_for

    $b->wait_for($selector, %opts, sub { my ($el, $err) = @_; ... });

Polls C<find($selector)> until it matches (and, if C<visible> is set, until
it is also visible), or until C<timeout> elapses. C<%opts>:

=over 4

=item C<< timeout => $seconds >>

Default: this instance's own C<timeout> (see C<new>).

=item C<< interval => $seconds >>

Poll interval. Default C<0.05>. A non-positive value (C<0> or negative) is
meaningless for a poll and snaps to the default instead, so it can't stall
the deadline check and busy-loop the EV loop.

=item C<< visible => $bool >>

Also wait for the matched element's C<is_visible> to become true before
resolving.

=item C<< gone => $bool >>

Invert it: wait for the selector to match B<nothing>. The usual reason is a
spinner or overlay that must disappear before the page is usable. There is no
element to hand back, so the callback receives a plain true value rather than
one -- and C<gone> with C<visible> croaks, since "wait for it to be visible"
and "wait for it to not exist" cannot both be meant.

=back

On timeout, C<$el> is C<undef> and C<$err eq 'timeout'>. Returns C<$b>.

=head3 wait_for_navigation

    $b->wait_for_navigation(%opts, sub { my ($uri, $err) = @_; ... });
    $el->click;                                  # ...and only then start it

Resolves when the B<next> navigation finishes, whoever started it -- a link
click, a form submit, a script-driven redirect, or one of this module's own
navigation methods. C<$uri> is where it landed.

It waits for a navigation that B<loads a document>. A same-document one -- a
hash-route link, C<history.pushState> -- loads nothing and emits no load event,
so it is not seen here either; see L</go> for why that is not guessed at, and
what to do instead.

This is the other half of every multi-step flow. C<go>'s callback covers what
you started yourself; a navigation the B<page> starts has no completion signal
otherwise: C<on_load> deliberately does not fire for one, C<on_navigate> fires
at commit rather than at finish, and C<is_loading> can read false for the whole
of a fast load. So:

    $b->wait_for_navigation(sub {
        my ($uri, $err) = @_;
        return warn "submit went nowhere: $err\n" if $err;
        $b->find('#dashboard', $cb);             # safe: this IS the next page
    });
    $b->find('#submit', sub { $_[0]->click });

B<Arm it before you click>, as above. It waits for the next navigation, not the
last one, so a fast page that finishes first is simply missed.

Do not reach for C<wait_for($selector)> instead: armed before the click it runs
against the page you are B<leaving>, so a selector present on both resolves at
once, with the old document -- a wrong answer rather than an error.

C<%opts>:

=over 4

=item C<< timeout => $seconds >>

Default: this instance's own C<timeout>. On expiry C<$err> is C<'timeout'>.
Passing a non-positive value here B<croaks>: there is nothing a zero deadline
could mean, and unlike C<wait_for> -- which polls, so a zero timeout there means
"probe once and give up" -- this has nothing to probe. An instance-wide
C<< timeout => 0 >> is inherited as-is and means what it means everywhere else
in this module: time out at once.

=back

An unknown option croaks, and so does a last argument that is not a code
reference; both are caller mistakes visible at the call site.

A navigation that fails resolves with that failure's C<$err> and no C<$uri>.
That includes one this API started, so a C<go> and a waiter armed across it both
report the same failure.

=head3 wait_for_js

    $b->wait_for_js($expr, %opts, sub { my ($value, $err) = @_; ... });

Polls a JavaScript expression until it is truthy, then resolves with its value.
Takes the same C<timeout> and C<interval> options as C<wait_for>. For waiting on
application state rather than on the DOM:

    $b->wait_for_js('window.app && window.app.ready', sub { ... });

B<An expression that throws is not an error, it is "not yet".>
C<window.app.ready> raises a C<TypeError> for as long as C<window.app> is
undefined, which is exactly the state you are waiting through -- so a throw is
treated as false and polling continues. The cost is that a genuine typo also
just times out, so the timeout message carries both the expression and the last
JavaScript error:

    timeout waiting for: no_such_fn() (last JS error: ReferenceError: ...)

The expression is evaluated in the page's own world, as C<script> does, so it
sees the page's globals.

B<Truthiness is JavaScript's, not Perl's.> The verdict is reached in the page
and sent back beside the value, so the two languages cannot disagree about it:
the string C<"0"> is true here, as it is in JavaScript, and a function is true
even though it has no JSON representation. That last point is what makes the
most common form of this call work at all --

    $b->wait_for_js('window.jQuery', sub { ... });   # a function

-- and the price is that C<$value> is C<undef> for such a value: the wait
succeeds, but there is nothing meaningful to marshal back. The same holds for
anything else JSON cannot carry -- a BigInt, or an object containing a cycle,
which most framework objects do. Wait on the expression you care about, and
read what you need afterwards.

=head2 Downloads and file upload

Fetch resources to disk, and drive file inputs.

=head3 download

    $b->download($uri, $path, sub { my ($path, $err) = @_; ... });

Fetches C<$uri> straight to C<$path> without navigating to it. C<$path> is a
plain filesystem path. On success the callback receives that path; on failure,
C<undef> and an error string. Returns C<$b>.

Note that a custom scheme registered with C<mock_scheme> is B<not> reachable
this way: C<mock_scheme> is registered on the web context, while downloads run
on the network session, which has never heard of the scheme and reports
C<"The URL can't be shown">.

C<file://> URIs, on the other hand, B<do> work: C<download> copies the local
file, and a missing one comes back as an ordinary error. This is worth knowing
before you hand C<download> a URI from an untrusted source, and doubly so before
you put a browser on a control socket -- C<download('file:///etc/passwd', $out)>
reads any file the process can read, which page JavaScript cannot do. The socket
is already a full-trust boundary (see L<EV::WebKit::Control/SECURITY>), but the
reach is wider than a network fetch.

A download still in flight when C<quit> is called resolves with
C<'browser closed'>, like every other pending operation.

=head3 on_authenticate

Answer an HTTP (or proxy) authentication challenge:

    my $b = EV::WebKit->new(on_authenticate => sub {
        my ($auth) = @_;
        return $auth->cancel if $auth->is_retry;      # wrong password: stop, don't loop
        $auth->login('alice', 'hunter2');
    });

C<$auth> is an L<EV::WebKit::Auth|/"EV::WebKit::Auth">, valid only for the
duration of the call.

B<Without a handler the challenge is cancelled>, and the navigation fails
immediately. That is deliberate: nobody answering a challenge means WebKit
waits, so the navigation used to resolve C<'timeout'> after the full instance
timeout with C<status> C<undef> -- indistinguishable from an unreachable host. A
handler that dies is treated the same way, and so is one that returns without
deciding.

WebKit reports every refused challenge as a bare C<Load request cancelled>,
which reads like you cancelled the navigation yourself, so the error is
annotated with which route it took: C<no on_authenticate handler answered it>,
C<the on_authenticate handler died>, C<the on_authenticate handler answered
nothing>, or -- when you called C<< $auth->cancel >> deliberately -- C<the
on_authenticate handler cancelled it>.

Credentials embedded in a URI (C<< http://user:pass@host/ >>) are applied by
WebKit itself and never reach this handler.

=head3 on_download

Called when the B<page> starts a download (a link with C<download>, a response
WebKit will not display). The handler must name a destination:

    on_download => sub {
        my ($d) = @_;
        $d->save_to("/tmp/" . $d->suggested);
        $d->on_finish(sub { my ($path, $err) = @_; ... });
    }

B<A download whose handler names no destination is cancelled>, deliberately:
WebKit's own default writes into the user's Downloads directory, which an
automation run must not do behind the caller's back. With no C<on_download> at
all, every page-initiated download is cancelled.

The object passed in offers C<uri>, C<suggested> (the server's suggested
filename), C<destination>, C<progress>, C<received>, C<save_to($path,
overwrite =E<gt> $bool)>, C<on_finish($cb)> and C<cancel>. It stays valid until
the download finishes or fails, unlike the dialog and policy objects.

=head3 on_file_chooser

Called when the page opens a file chooser -- a click on C<< <input type=file> >>,
which is the only way to populate one, since a file input's value cannot be set
from JavaScript:

    on_file_chooser => sub { $_[0]->select('/tmp/photo.png') }

The object offers C<mime_types> (the C<accept=> list), C<multiple>, C<selected>,
C<select(@paths)> and C<cancel>. C<select> croaks on a path that does not exist,
or on several paths when the input accepts only one -- WebKit itself would
silently hand the page an unreadable entry.

B<The selection is applied asynchronously.> Reading C<files.length> in the
callback of the C<click> that opened the chooser still sees 0; it becomes
correct a tick later. Poll for it (or wait) rather than reading once.

Without an C<on_file_chooser> handler nothing changes: WebKit runs its own
native GTK file chooser, exactly as before. A handler that dies, or that
decides nothing, cancels the request rather than leaving the page waiting on a
chooser that never resolves.

=head3 on_request

Intercept every request the browser makes -- rewrite it, answer it locally, or
refuse it:

    my $b = EV::WebKit->new(on_request => sub {
        my ($req) = @_;
        return { status => 403, body => 'no ads here' } if $req->{host} =~ /ads\./;
        $req->{headers}{'x-trace'} = 'yes';        # rewrite in place
        return;                                    # ...and let it proceed
    });

C<$req> has C<method>, C<url>, C<headers>, C<body> and C<host>. Return nothing
to proceed (carrying any rewrites), a hashref (C<status>, C<headers>, C<body>)
to answer without touching the network, or the string C<'abort'> to drop the
connection. A handler that dies refuses the request with a 502 and warns -- it
fails closed, since this hook exists to block traffic and an exception must not
let through exactly what you were stopping. Construct-time only.

This works by routing the browser through the same in-process
L<Proxy::Impersonate> that C<network_fingerprint> uses, because WebKitGTK 6.0
offers nothing better: the UI process exposes only the observational
C<sent-request>, the mutable C<send-request> lives solely in the web-process
extension, and libsoup is unreachable since WebKit2 runs networking in a
separate process. Interception therefore happens at the one place the plaintext
exists. Requires L<Proxy::Impersonate> 0.01 (croaks otherwise, rather than
silently not intercepting), and is mutually exclusive with C<proxy>.

Two consequences worth knowing:

=over 4

=item Requests to local addresses are B<not> intercepted.

WebKit routes localhost and private addresses directly, bypassing the proxy, so
the hook never sees them. This is WebKit's own behaviour -- C<network_fingerprint>
has always had it too -- and it cannot be turned off from here.

=item Your connection fingerprint changes.

The proxy always re-originates through C<libcurl-impersonate>; there is no
passthrough. With C<fingerprint> set, the matching target is used; without one,
a current Chrome. If that matters, set C<fingerprint> (or
C<network_fingerprint>) explicitly rather than relying on the default.

=back

Headers are the set forced on top of the impersonation template (C<Cookie>,
C<Referer>, C<Sec-Fetch-*>, ...), not the template's own (C<User-Agent>,
C<Accept>, ...) -- see L<Proxy::Impersonate/on_request>. Setting those keys
still overrides the template.

=head3 on_response

    my $b = EV::WebKit->new(on_response => sub {
        my ($res) = @_;
        delete $res->{headers}{'content-security-policy'};   # the usual reason
        delete $res->{headers}{'x-frame-options'};
        return;
    });

The counterpart to C<on_request>, called when each response's head arrives and
before any of it reaches the page. C<$res> has C<status>, C<headers>, and the
request's C<url>, C<method> and C<host>. Modify C<status> or C<headers> in
place; the return value is ignored. Construct-time only, and it carries the same
caveats as C<on_request> -- local addresses are not intercepted, and the
connection fingerprint changes.

Stripping a policy header is what this is usually for: a page that refuses to
frame, or a C<Content-Security-Policy> that blocks the script you want to
inject, can be relaxed here rather than worked around.

Framing is not yours to change: C<Content-Length>, C<Connection> and the
hop-by-hop headers are restored after the handler runs, because a handler that
edits them desynchronises the browser's connection rather than its own.

B<Response bodies are not available here at all> -- they stream through the
proxy with backpressure, and buffering them to hand over would defeat that. To
B<replace> a body, answer the request outright with C<on_request>'s synthetic
response. To B<read> one -- the "what did that XHR return" case -- fetch it from
the page instead, where it is already parsed:

    $b->script_async('const r = await fetch(A.url); return await r.json();',
                     { url => $api }, $cb);

That runs in the page's own origin and session, so it carries the cookies and
headers the page would have sent.

Unlike C<on_request>, a handler that B<dies> passes the response through and
warns. It fails B<open> deliberately: the request has already been made, so
there is no longer anything to protect by refusing, and breaking the page over
a bug in an observer would be worse.

=head2 Screenshots and PDF

Capture the rendered page.

=head3 screenshot

    $b->screenshot($path, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });
    $b->screenshot(\%opts, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });
    $b->screenshot($path, %opts, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });

Captures a PNG of the current page. With a plain C<$path>, the PNG is
written there and C<$result> is C<$path>. The C<\%opts>-only form has no
C<$path>, so it requires C<< bytes => 1 >> (below) -- calling it with
neither a path nor C<bytes> errors with
C<< 'screenshot path required (or bytes => 1)' >>. C<%opts>:

=over 4

=item C<< full => $bool >>

Capture the full scrollable document instead of just the visible viewport.

=item C<< transparent => $bool >>

Transparent background instead of opaque white.

=item C<< bytes => $bool >>

Return the raw PNG byte string as C<$result> instead of writing a file --
no file is written even if C<$path> was also given.

=back

Returns C<$b>.

=head3 pdf

    $b->pdf($path, %opts, sub { my ($result, $err) = @_; ... });

Renders the current page to a PDF file at C<$path> via
C<WebKit::PrintOperation>. C<%opts>: C<paper> (a B<PWG> paper-size name --
C<iso_a4> (the default), C<na_letter>, C<na_legal>, C<iso_a3>; B<not> C<a4> or
C<letter>, which GTK does not recognise and which render at the default size
with only a warning on stderr), C<margin> (mm, all four sides, default C<0>),
C<resolution>
(dpi, default C<300>), C<timeout> (seconds, overriding the instance default
for this call). C<$result> is C<$path> on success. Returns C<$b>.

C<resolution> is passed through to the GTK print settings, but do not expect
it to change anything: WebKitGTK's print-to-PDF path does not consult it
(72, 300 and 1200 dpi produce byte-identical files), because the output is
vector rather than rasterised. It is accepted for completeness.
C<pdf($path)> errors with C<'pdf: no page loaded'> if called before the view
has navigated anywhere.

Calls are B<serialized>: two C<WebKit::PrintOperation>s running on one view
at once race at the engine level (and crash it), so C<pdf()> queues each
request and runs exactly one at a time. You may fire several C<pdf()> calls
back-to-back; each resolves its own callback in turn, and their outcomes are
deterministic.

The C<timeout> bounds how long B<your callback> waits, counted from the
C<pdf()> call itself -- not from the moment the job reaches the head of the
queue. So it covers the time spent queued behind other prints as well as the
printing, and a call made while an earlier print is stuck still resolves on
its own deadline with C<$err eq 'timeout'>.

What that error means depends on whether the print had started:

=over 4

=item *

B<Still queued> at the deadline: it never runs. Nothing was printed and no
file is written -- the job is dropped when its turn comes.

=item *

B<Already printing> at the deadline: the print is B<not> aborted.
WebKit-6.0's C<WebKit::PrintOperation> has no cancel method at all, so
nothing can stop one once it is under way. Treat C<'timeout'> here as "took
too long, outcome unknown", not "did not happen": the operation may still
complete afterwards and write its file to C<$path>.

=back

For that second case the queue does B<not> advance past a timed-out
operation until the engine actually finishes it (starting the next print
alongside a live one would crash the engine). A subsequent C<pdf()> to the
same path is therefore safely queued behind it, never racing its write.

=head2 Settings

User-Agent and arbitrary WebKitSettings properties.

=head3 set_user_agent

    $b->set_user_agent($ua_string);

Sets the User-Agent. Synchronous, returns C<$b>.

=head3 user_agent

    my $ua = $b->user_agent;

Current User-Agent. Synchronous.

=head3 settings

    $b->settings({ enable_javascript => 0, ... });

Sets arbitrary C<WebKit::Settings> GObject properties: each key has its
underscores turned into hyphens (C<enable_javascript> becomes the
C<enable-javascript> property). Synchronous, returns C<$b>. A reference value,
or a key naming a property that does not exist, croaks. Not transactional: a
croak on an unknown property name may leave earlier keys in the same call
already applied (reference values are all rejected up front, so a typed-value
mistake is caught before anything is set).

=head3 show_devtools

    $b->show_devtools;

Enables C<enable-developer-extras> (if not already) and opens the Web
Inspector window. Synchronous, returns C<$b>.

=head2 Network

Proxy configuration and custom URI-scheme handlers.

=head3 set_proxy

    $b->set_proxy($uri);
    $b->set_proxy({ default => $uri, ignore => [@hosts] });
    $b->set_proxy(undef);          # or 'no-proxy'

Configures (or clears) this instance's proxy. Synchronous, no callback.
Returns C<$b>. Equivalent to the constructor's C<proxy> option.

Only C<undef> and the literal string C<'no-proxy'> clear the proxy; any other
value is treated as a custom proxy to set, and its default URI is validated
up front (must look like C<scheme://authority>). WebKit itself only prints a
C-level CRITICAL and silently falls back to a direct connection for a
malformed proxy URI -- not a Perl exception C<eval> could catch -- so an
invalid or empty default URI (including a C<< { default => ... } >> hash
with no C<default>) makes this method C<Carp::croak> instead, fail-fast
rather than silently discarding the proxy.

=head3 mock_scheme

    $b->mock_scheme($scheme, sub { my ($uri) = @_; return ($body, $content_type) });

Registers a custom URI-scheme handler on this instance's private (not the
shared default) C<WebKit::WebContext>. The producer callback is invoked
once per request to C<$scheme>; C<$content_type> defaults to C<text/html>
if omitted. Must be registered before the first navigation to C<$scheme>.
Pass C<$body> as a character string (e.g. plain ASCII, or containing
C<\x{e9}>-style non-ASCII text); it is served as its UTF-8 encoding. Do not
pass pre-encoded octets -- a byte string that already holds UTF-8 bytes
would be encoded a second time and corrupt the output. As with any HTTP
response, WebKit's HTML parser still needs to be told the encoding: include
C<charset=utf-8> in C<$content_type> (or a C<< <meta charset="utf-8"> >> tag
in the body itself) whenever it isn't plain ASCII, the same as a real web
server would. Synchronous, returns C<$b>.

If the producer dies, the request fails cleanly instead of crashing the
process. Whether anyone hears about it depends on what was being fetched: for
the B<document> of a navigation this instance started, that navigation's
callback receives a defined C<$err> describing the failure; for a subresource
(an image, a script, an iframe) the page simply does not get it, exactly as a
browser treats any failed subresource, and the navigation still succeeds. C<$err>'s exact wording is this module's own, not a
native WebKit network error (C<finish_error>, WebKit's normal way to report
this, is unusable with the currently supported C<Glib::Object::Introspection>
-- see the source comment on C<mock_scheme>'s C<register_uri_scheme>
callback for why).

=head2 Cookie Management

C<set_cookie>/C<cookies>/C<clear_cookies> operate on this instance's live
session. C<cookie_jar> (see C<new>) gives native persistent storage for
non-session cookies automatically; C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> below
are an explicit, opt-in JSON snapshot mechanism -- see L</"LIMITATIONS">.

=head3 set_cookie

    $b->set_cookie(\%spec, sub { my ($ok, $err) = @_; ... });

C<%spec>: C<name>, C<value>, C<domain>, C<path> (default C</>), C<max_age>
(seconds, default C<-1> = session cookie), C<secure> (bool), C<http_only>
(bool). C<$ok> is true on success. Errors with
C<< "set_cookie: missing '<key>'" >> if C<name>/C<value>/C<domain> is missing
from C<%spec>. Returns C<$b>.

=head3 cookies

    $b->cookies($uri, sub { my ($list, $err) = @_; ... });

C<$list> is an arrayref of C<{ name, value, domain, path, secure,
http_only }> hashrefs visible to C<$uri> (C<secure>/C<http_only> are 1 or
0). Errors with C<'cookies: uri required'> if C<$uri> is missing/empty.
Returns C<$b>.

=head3 clear_cookies

    $b->clear_cookies(sub { my ($ok, $err) = @_; ... });

Clears every cookie in this instance's session (not scoped to a single
domain/URI). Returns C<$b>.

=head3 save_cookies

    $b->save_cookies($file, sub { my ($count, $err) = @_; ... });
    $b->save_cookies($file, \@uris, sub { my ($count, $err) = @_; ... });

Writes this instance's cookies to C<$file> as a JSON snapshot, enumerated
per-URI (via the same path as C<cookies>) over C<\@uris>, or, if omitted,
every URI this instance has C<go>ne to. C<$count> is the number of
(deduplicated) cookies written. C<$file> is written as UTF-8 text, so
cookie values containing non-ASCII characters round-trip correctly. This
is an explicit, opt-in mechanism, distinct from C<cookie_jar>'s native
persistence (see C<new>) -- it is the only way to capture SESSION cookies,
which native persistence excludes by design. Errors with C<'snapshot file
required'> if C<$file> is missing/empty, C<'no URIs to save ...'> if there
is no URI list (navigate first, or pass C<\@uris> explicitly), or a
filesystem error. Cookie I<expiry> is deliberately not part of the saved
data -- see L</"LIMITATIONS">. Returns C<$b>.

=head3 load_cookies

    $b->load_cookies($file, sub { my ($loaded, $err) = @_; ... });

Reads C<$file> (as written by C<save_cookies>, UTF-8 text) and replays each
row through C<set_cookie>. C<$loaded> is the number successfully
re-applied. If the file doesn't exist, or exists but isn't valid JSON, this
is not an error -- C<$loaded> is simply C<0>. Individual rows are treated
the same way: a row that isn't a hashref, or is missing C<name>/C<value>/
C<domain>, is silently skipped rather than failing the whole load --
C<$loaded> only counts rows that were actually well-formed. Every cookie in a
snapshot this module wrote is loaded back as a session cookie, even if it had
an expiry when saved -- C<save_cookies> cannot read expiries back out of
WebKit, so it never records one (see L</"LIMITATIONS">). A hand-written
snapshot B<may> carry an C<expires> key (epoch seconds), and that one is
honoured: the cookie is restored with its remaining lifetime and, in a
C<cookie_jar> session, persists across restarts. Errors with
C<'snapshot file required'> if C<$file> is missing/empty. Returns C<$b>.

=head2 User content injection

Inject your own JavaScript and CSS into the pages this instance loads.

=head3 add_user_script

    my $h = $b->add_user_script($js, %opts);

Inject C<$js> into every page this instance loads, from the B<next> navigation
onward (WebKit injects user content at load time, so it does not affect the page
already showing). Returns an L</EV::WebKit::UserContent> handle whose C<remove>
takes just this script back out.

Options:

=over 4

=item at => 'end' (default) | 'start'

When the script runs relative to the page's own scripts. C<start> runs before
any page script -- but the DOM does not exist yet (C<document.body> is C<undef>),
so a script that touches the DOM should use C<end>.

=item world => 'main' (default) | 'isolated'

C<main> shares the page's JavaScript globals (what the page's own code sees).
C<isolated> gets a private global scope the page cannot read or corrupt, while
still sharing the one DOM -- use it to observe or rewrite a page without the page
noticing your variables.

=item frames => 'all' (default) | 'top'

Inject into all frames, or only the top-level document.

=item allow => [ globs ], deny => [ globs ]

Optional URL-pattern allow/deny lists (WebKit C<UserContentURLPattern> syntax). A
pattern is C<scheme://host/path> with C<*> wildcards and B<must> include a path
component (C<'https://*.example.com/*'>, not C<'https://*.example.com'>). With
C<allow>, the script runs only on matching URLs; C<deny> excludes matching URLs;
C<deny> wins over C<allow>. Each entry must be a non-empty string (undef, empty,
and non-string entries croak); a syntactically malformed pattern is not caught
here and simply never matches. Omit a list to match every URL -- an empty list
(C<< allow => [] >>) is rejected rather than silently meaning match-all.

=back

C<$js> should be a decoded Perl character string (not raw bytes): it is handed to
WebKit as UTF-8, so a byte string with high bytes would be re-encoded (mojibake).

Croaks on a source that is undef, a reference, or contains a NUL byte (which would
silently truncate the injected content); on an invalid option value or an unknown
option key; and -- unlike the quiet-no-op mutators (see L</Lifecycle>) -- on a
call after the browser is closed (there is no handle it could meaningfully return).

=head3 add_user_style

    my $h = $b->add_user_style($css, %opts);

Like L</add_user_script> but injects a CSS stylesheet. Accepts C<frames>,
C<allow>, and C<deny> as above (no C<world> -- a world does not change how a
stylesheet affects the document, so it is not surfaced), plus:

=over 4

=item level => 'author' (default) | 'user'

C<author> mixes with the page's own author styles. C<user> is a user-agent-level
override that beats page CSS -- use it to reliably hide elements
(C<< 'div.ad { display:none !important }' >>).

=back

Returns an L</EV::WebKit::UserContent> handle.

=head3 remove_all_user_scripts

    $b->remove_all_user_scripts;

Remove every script added with L</add_user_script>. Does not touch the module's
own internal injection (the element registry that L</find> and L</html> rely on).
Chainable.

=head3 remove_all_user_styles

    $b->remove_all_user_styles;

Remove every stylesheet added with L</add_user_style>. Chainable.

=head2 Fingerprinting

See the C<fingerprint> constructor option above for the device-profile spoofing
this exposes.

=head3 fingerprint

    my $profile = $b->fingerprint;   # resolved hashref, or undef

The resolved fingerprint profile for this instance (read-only), or C<undef>.

=head3 network_fingerprint

    my $target = $b->network_fingerprint;   # e.g. 'chrome131', or undef

The active curl-impersonate target, or C<undef> when the in-process proxy is not
running. Note that C<on_request>/C<on_response> start that proxy too, and it
always re-originates, so this reports a target (C<chrome131> by default) under
those options as well -- see the C<network_fingerprint> constructor option
above.

=head3 proxy_port

    my $port = $b->proxy_port;   # or undef

The localhost port of the in-process re-origination proxy, or C<undef> when it
is not running. As with C<network_fingerprint> above, C<on_request> and
C<on_response> start it too.

=head3 fingerprint_profiles

    my @names = EV::WebKit->fingerprint_profiles;

The names of the shipped presets.

=head3 fingerprint_available

    EV::WebKit::fingerprint_available() or warn "no fingerprint support";

Whether the web-process extension was built at install.

=head2 Lifecycle

Tear the instance down.

=head3 quit

    $b->quit;

Tears down this instance: resolves every in-flight callback -- including a
still-pending navigation -- exactly once with C<$err eq 'browser closed'>,
destroys the native GTK window (the X display itself is left alone -- see
L</"LIMITATIONS">), and drops the view/session/etc. Idempotent -- safe to
call more than once, and run automatically from C<DESTROY>: an instance holds
only weak references to itself from its native signal handlers, so a plain
C<undef $b> or a scope exit collects it and tears it down (calling C<quit>)
without an explicit call. Calling C<quit> yourself is still useful to release
the native window/session B<promptly> and deterministically rather than
whenever the instance is next collected. After
C<quit>, any method that would otherwise run JavaScript (C<script>,
C<script_async>, C<find>, C<find_all>, C<html>, and all L<EV::WebKit::Element>
methods) resolves immediately with C<$err eq 'browser closed'>.
Synchronous accessors (C<uri>, C<title>, C<is_loading>, C<user_agent>)
instead degrade quietly after C<quit>, returning C<undef> (C<0> for
C<is_loading>), and synchronous mutators (C<set_user_agent>, C<settings>,
C<set_proxy>, C<mock_scheme>, C<show_devtools>) become no-ops that just
return C<$b>.

An operation already in flight at the moment C<quit> is called is resolved
deterministically, exactly once, rather than left dangling. Every pending
C<script>/C<script_async>/C<find>/C<find_all>/C<html>/C<screenshot>/C<pdf>
call, cookie call, outstanding C<wait_for>, and navigation resolves with
C<$err eq 'browser closed'>. Any call made I<after> C<quit> has returned
likewise resolves immediately with C<'browser closed'>.

C<quit> never throws. It has to run your callbacks in order to resolve them,
and one of them dying must not abort the teardown -- that would drop every
callback still queued behind it and leak the window, view and session for the
life of the process (nothing could retry: C<quit> is already marked done). An
exception from a callback is caught and reported with C<warn>.

Calling C<quit> from inside an event handler (C<on_dialog>, C<on_policy>,
C<on_console>, C<on_file_chooser>, C<on_download>, C<on_authenticate>, or a
C<mock_scheme> producer) is safe. Those run inside WebKit's own dispatch frame, so C<quit>
defers the teardown -- and the callbacks it resolves -- to the next clean tick
of the loop rather than running them nested inside that frame, where an
C<EV::break> from one of them would wedge the loop (see
L</"CALLBACK CONVENTION">).

C<'browser closed'> reports how the B<callback> was resolved, not whether
the operation's effect took place. A cookie B<mutation> already in flight
when C<quit> lands -- C<set_cookie>, C<save_cookies> (which may still write
its file), or C<clear_cookies> -- can still complete its native effect even
though its callback reports C<'browser closed'>, because cancelling it
mid-flight would risk a use-after-free during teardown. Treat
C<'browser closed'> on an in-flight mutation as "outcome unknown", not
"did not happen". (This does not apply to calls made I<after> C<quit>, which
never start any native work.)

=head2 Handler accessors

    my $cb = $b->on_console;          # get
    $b->on_console(sub { ... });      # set, returns $b
    $b->on_console(undef);            # clear

Ten of the twelve C<on_*> handlers have a get/set accessor: C<on_load>,
C<on_error>, C<on_close>, C<on_navigate>, C<on_console>, C<on_dialog>,
C<on_policy>, C<on_file_chooser>, C<on_download> and C<on_authenticate>. The
other two, C<on_request> and C<on_response>, are construct-time only -- they
need the in-process proxy built during C<new> -- and have none.

An accessor means code that did not construct the browser can still observe a
handler, and can B<chain> an existing one rather than clobbering it:

    my $prev = $b->on_console;
    $b->on_console(sub { $prev->(@_) if $prev; ...also mine... });

Croaks on a non-coderef. Enabling C<on_console> after a page has loaded takes
effect from the B<next> navigation: the console proxy is a user script, and
those are injected at document start.

=head1 EVENTS

Optional callbacks passed to C<new>, and the one option that shapes what the
browser does when it has none (C<popups>):

=over 4

=item C<< on_error => sub { my ($err) = @_ } >>

Called for a navigation failure that has no C<go>/C<load_html> callback
waiting for it (e.g. a stray C<load-failed> signal). Ordinary navigation
failures go to that call's own callback instead, not here.

=item C<< on_load => sub { } >>

Called with no arguments when a navigation started through this API
(C<go>, C<load_html>, C<back>, C<forward>, or C<reload>) finishes
successfully, right after that navigation's own callback (if any). It does
NOT fire for user- or page-JS-initiated navigations (e.g. clicking a link,
or a script-driven redirect) -- only for navigations this instance itself
started through one of the methods above.

=item C<< on_console => sub { my ($text) = @_ } >>

Called for each C<console.log>/C<warn>/C<error>/C<info> from page
JavaScript. C<$text> is a single string of the form C<"$level: $args">,
e.g. C<"log: hi">. Implemented by monkey-patching C<console> via an
injected user script plus a script-message handler, not WebKit's native
console-message signal.

=item C<< on_dialog => sub { my ($dialog) = @_ } >>

Called for C<window.alert>/C<confirm>/C<prompt> and the beforeunload
confirmation. C<$dialog> is an L</"EV::WebKit::Dialog"> object, valid only
for the duration of this call. If C<on_dialog> is not given, every dialog
is auto-dismissed so the page is never blocked.

=item C<< on_navigate => sub { my ($uri) = @_ } >>

Called for B<every> navigation that commits, whoever started it -- including one
the page starts itself, which is what a human clicking a link in a visible
window looks like.

C<on_load> is not that. It fires only for a navigation this API started, so
without C<on_navigate> a browser you are also using by hand can change page and
tell you nothing at all. An API navigation fires both.

Delivered on a clean EV tick, so C<EV::break> is safe from it.

=item C<< on_close => sub { } >>

Called when the B<user> closes the window (the titlebar close button, alt-F4,
the window manager) -- not when you call C<quit> yourself. Only reachable in
the visible mode (a real C<$DISPLAY>, usually with C<< chrome => 1 >>).

The instance is torn down first: every in-flight callback resolves with
C<'browser closed'>, the native window is destroyed, and only then is
C<on_close> called. So by the time it runs, C<$b> is already closed -- it is a
notification, not a veto.

It does B<not> stop your C<EV::run> -- nothing in this module ever does; you
own the loop. For a browser window whose closing should end the program, that
is the whole handler:

    my $b = EV::WebKit->new(chrome => 1, on_close => sub { EV::break });
    ...
    EV::run;   # returns when the window is closed

Unlike C<on_console>/C<on_dialog>/C<on_policy>, C<on_close> is delivered on a
clean EV tick, so calling C<EV::break> directly from it is safe.

=item C<< popups => 'follow' | 'block' >>

What to do with a navigation that asks for a new window -- a C<target="_blank">
link, or C<window.open>. WebKit allows such a navigation and then asks for a
window to put it in; a one-view browser has none to give, so the click would
otherwise do nothing whatsoever: no navigation, no error, no event. The default
C<'follow'> takes it in this view instead. C<'block'> keeps it dropped.

The two arrive by different routes, which matters if you set C<on_policy>. A
C<target="_blank"> link is a policy decision, so that handler sees it first,
with C<< type => 'new-window-action' >>, and can refuse it outright with
C<< $p->block >>.

C<window.open> is B<not> a window request WebKitGTK asks about, so no
C<new-window-action> ever arrives for it -- there is nothing to refuse at that
stage. Under the default C<'follow'>, though, the popup is re-issued in this
view as an ordinary navigation, and that B<does> reach C<on_policy> as a
C<navigation-action> carrying the popup's own url. So selective filtering is
possible for both mechanisms; only the decision C<type> differs. (Under
C<'block'> the popup is dropped before any navigation, so C<on_policy> sees
nothing at all.)

One caveat if you are testing this: WebKit's own popup blocker drops a
C<window.open> made from an inline script with no user gesture behind it, and
then nothing reaches C<on_policy> either. Drive it from a real click --
C<< $el->click >> counts -- as a page would.

What C<on_policy> does not decide is B<where> an allowed one goes: WebKit asks
for a window afterwards either way, and this option is what answers. So an
C<on_policy> that allows a C<target="_blank"> link still lands it in this view
under C<'follow'>, and still drops it under C<'block'>. If you want to route it
yourself, C<< $p->block >> and navigate from a clean tick -- starting a
navigation inside the handler runs it in WebKit's own dispatch frame.

=item C<< on_policy => sub { my ($info) = @_ } >>

Called for each navigation/new-window/response decision WebKit asks about.
C<$info> is an L</"EV::WebKit::Policy"> object, valid only for the duration
of this call. If C<on_policy> is not given, WebKit's own default (allow)
applies; if the handler doesn't call C<allow>/C<block>, allow happens
automatically once it returns.

If the handler B<dies> before deciding, the navigation is B<blocked> and the
exception reported with C<warn>. This handler is a gate, so it fails closed:
a page that could provoke a die (a URI that breaks the handler's own parsing,
say) would otherwise walk straight through it, since an exception escaping
the handler leaves WebKit to apply its own default -- allow. A handler that
already called C<allow> or C<block> keeps that decision even if it then dies.

=item C<< on_download => sub { my ($download) = @_ } >>

Called when the page starts a download. The handler must name a destination
with C<save_to> or the download is cancelled -- see L</"on_download"> under
L</"Downloads and file upload"> for the object's full interface and the
reasoning.

=item C<< on_file_chooser => sub { my ($chooser) = @_ } >>

Called when the page opens a file chooser, which is the only way to populate
an C<< <input type=file> >>. Without this handler WebKit runs its own native
chooser, unchanged. See L</"on_file_chooser"> for the object it receives.

=item C<< on_authenticate => sub { my ($auth) = @_ } >>

Answer an HTTP or proxy authentication challenge. Without a handler the
challenge is cancelled and the navigation fails at once rather than waiting.
See L</"on_authenticate">.

=item C<< on_request => sub { my ($req) = @_ } >>

Intercept, rewrite, mock or block every request the browser makes. Routes
through the in-process proxy, so it does not see local-address traffic and it
sets a connection fingerprint -- see L</"on_request"> for both caveats.

=item C<< on_response => sub { my ($res) = @_ } >>

Observe or rewrite each response's status and headers before the page sees
them -- stripping C<Content-Security-Policy> is the usual reason. Same proxy,
same caveats. See L</"on_response">.

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::Dialog

Passed to C<on_dialog>. Valid only for the duration of that call.

=over 4

=item C<type>

Nick string: C<alert>, C<confirm>, C<prompt>, or C<before-unload-confirm>.

=item C<message>

The dialog's message text.

=item C<accept($text)>

Accept the dialog. For C<prompt>, C<$text> (if defined) becomes the entered
value; for C<confirm>/C<before-unload-confirm>, marks it confirmed;
C<alert> has nothing to set and this just acknowledges it.

=item C<dismiss>

Cancel the dialog (C<confirm>/C<before-unload-confirm> resolve false;
C<alert>/C<prompt> just close).

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::Policy

Passed to C<on_policy>. Valid only for the duration of that call.

=over 4

=item C<uri>

The request URI for this decision (best-effort; may be C<undef>).

=item C<type>

Nick string: C<navigation-action>, C<new-window-action>, or C<response>.

=item C<allow>

Let the navigation/response proceed.

=item C<block>

Cancel the navigation/response.

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::Auth

Passed to C<on_authenticate>. Valid only for the duration of that call.

=over 4

=item C<host>, C<port>, C<realm>, C<scheme>

What is being asked for. C<scheme> is WebKit's own nick for the authentication
scheme (C<http-basic>, C<http-digest>, ...); C<realm> is the server's realm
string, which is what distinguishes two challenges from the same host.

=item C<for_proxy>

True when the challenge came from a proxy rather than the origin server.

=item C<is_retry>

True when the credentials you last supplied were B<rejected>. WebKit re-asks
after every rejection, so a handler that answers with the same pair regardless
of this loops forever.

=item C<< login($user, $password, persist =E<gt> $how) >>

Answer the challenge. C<persist> is C<'for-session'> (the default -- remembered
until this instance closes, so the same realm is not asked again on every
request), C<'permanent'> (written to the platform credential store), or
C<'none'>.

=item C<cancel>

Refuse the challenge. This is also what happens if the handler returns without
deciding, dies, or was never set at all.

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::Download

Passed to C<on_download>. B<Unlike> the dialog and policy objects, this one
outlives the handler that received it: WebKit reports progress and completion
later, so it stays valid until the download finishes, fails, or the browser
closes.

=over 4

=item C<uri>

The URI being downloaded.

=item C<suggested>

The filename the server suggested (from C<Content-Disposition>, else derived
from the URI). Only known once WebKit asks for a destination, which is when
C<on_download> runs -- so it is available there, and C<undef> before.

=item C<save_to($path, overwrite =E<gt> $bool)>

Choose where the download lands. B<Required>: a download whose handler names no
destination is cancelled, because WebKit's own default would write into the
user's Downloads directory behind the caller's back. C<$path> is a plain
filesystem path (a C<file://> URI is accepted and stripped).

=item C<on_finish($cb)>

Register the completion callback: C<< $cb->($path, $err) >>. C<$path> is where
the file landed; on failure C<$path> is C<undef> and C<$err> a message. Fires
exactly once. Registering after the download has already finished still
delivers, so there is no race in setting it late.

=item C<destination>

The path chosen by C<save_to>, or C<undef>.

=item C<progress>

Estimated completion, 0 to 1.

=item C<received>

Bytes received so far.

=item C<cancel>

Abort the download. C<on_finish> then reports the cancellation.

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::FileChooser

Passed to C<on_file_chooser>. Valid only for the duration of that call.

=over 4

=item C<select(@paths)>

Answer the chooser with these files. Croaks on a path that does not exist, or
on several paths when the input accepts only one -- WebKit itself would
silently hand the page an unreadable entry instead.

Note the page does not see the files B<immediately>: WebKit applies the
selection asynchronously, so C<files.length> read in the callback of the
C<click> that opened the chooser is still 0, and correct a tick later.

=item C<cancel>

Refuse the chooser. This is also what happens automatically if the handler
returns without deciding, or dies -- an unanswered request would leave the page
waiting on a chooser that never resolves.

=item C<mime_types>

The C<accept=> list as a plain list of strings; empty means anything.

=item C<multiple>

True if the input accepts more than one file.

=item C<selected>

Files already selected on the input, as a list.

=back

=head1 EV::WebKit::UserContent

The handle returned by L</add_user_script> and L</add_user_style>.

=head2 remove

    $h->remove;

Remove just this injected script or stylesheet. Takes effect from the next
navigation. Idempotent and safe: calling it twice, or after the browser has been
closed or collected, is a harmless no-op.

=head1 LIMITATIONS

=over 4

=item A small, fixed per-call residue in long-running processes

Glib::Object::Introspection does not release a C<GAsyncReadyCallback> closure
after it fires, so every asynchronous call leaves one closure shell behind for
the life of the process. EV::WebKit clears everything it owns from inside those
closures on completion -- your callback, the C<Cancellable>, the watchdog timer
-- so nothing you pass in is retained; but the shell itself is GI's and cannot
be freed from Perl. Measured at roughly 2kB per call, against roughly 68kB per
call before the release was added.

This is invisible in ordinary use and matters only for a process making
hundreds of thousands of calls -- a poller running for days, where C<wait_for>
and C<wait_for_js> spend one call per tick. If that is you, recycle the
instance periodically: C<quit> and construct a new one.

=item Bring-your-own-display

EV::WebKit never spawns or kills an X server. Run under C<xvfb-run -a
your-script.pl> for headless use, or export a real C<$DISPLAY> for a
visible, fully-interactive GTK4 window -- the C<display> constructor option
only sets C<$ENV{DISPLAY}> before GTK initializes, it does not start Xvfb.

=item Cookie persistence

C<cookie_jar> gives WebKit-native persistent cookie storage: cookies with a
real expiry round-trip correctly (expiry included) across instances and
processes. SESSION cookies (no expiry) are permanently excluded from that
store by design (RFC 6265) -- C<save_cookies>/C<load_cookies> are the only
way to snapshot/restore those (or any cookie; snapshots lose expiry, so
every cookie loaded back from one becomes a session cookie regardless of
what it was when saved). C<clear_cookies> clears the whole session, not a
single domain/URI. WebKitGTK's own bulk "all cookies" enumeration
(C<get_all_cookies>) is avoided entirely: a real memory-safety bug was
independently confirmed under valgrind when such a call is left in-flight
at teardown, so this module never calls it, using per-URI C<get_cookies>
throughout instead.

=item GDK backend

C<GDK_BACKEND> is forced to C<x11> (unless already set) since this module
targets X11/Xvfb; it is not tested against a Wayland-native GDK backend.

=item Single EV loop

Native EV watchers, the GLib main context (bridged in by L<EV::Glib>), and
WebKitGTK's own IPC to its web/network processes all share one C<EV::run>.
EV::WebKit delivers its result callbacks on a clean tick, so C<EV::break> is
safe from those -- and from C<on_load>, C<on_error>, C<on_close> and
C<on_navigate>.

It is B<not> safe from the seven handlers that run nested inside WebKit's own
dispatch frame: C<on_console>, C<on_dialog>, C<on_policy>, C<on_file_chooser>,
C<on_download>, C<on_authenticate>, and a C<mock_scheme> producer. Breaking
from one of those does not raise an error. The C<EV::run> you are in returns,
and then the B<next> one blocks forever -- at 0% CPU, with live watchers that
never fire, so the symptom is a script stopped dead rather than one spinning.
Schedule it instead:

    EV::timer(0, 0, sub { EV::break })

Calling C<quit> from them B<is> safe; it detects the frame and defers its own
teardown. See L</"CALLBACK CONVENTION">.

=item Overlapping navigation identity

When navigations overlap -- a C<go> superseded by another C<go>, or by
C<back>/C<forward>/C<reload>/C<load_html>, including a C<mock_scheme> producer
that reentrantly navigates -- each callback is resolved by the navigation that
asked for it, not by whatever happens to be pending when a signal arrives. The
superseded one gets C<'superseded'>; the survivor gets its own outcome. A
per-navigation timeout can never fire against the wrong navigation. This holds
for both the failure and the success path, is confirmed live, and the gates
that implement it are described at C<_finished_is_stray> and the C<load-failed>
handler in the source, with F<xt/66-nav-finished.t> covering the success side.

Two cases are irreducible, and neither changes the outcome a caller sees.

If the superseded navigation was headed to the B<same uri> the new one is
headed to, or already showing, the two cannot be told apart from WebKit's
signals alone: a callback may be resolved by the wrong-but-identical event
rather than by its own navigation. Since the uri is the same either way, the
result delivered is still truthful.

And a navigation with B<no tracked target uri> -- C<back>, C<forward>,
C<reload>, C<load_html> -- that genuinely fails before its own C<started>
fires, for a uri that was never superseded, cannot be told apart from a stray.
That one has not been reproduced live and is not believed reachable:
C<back>/C<forward> only proceed past C<can_go_back>/C<can_go_forward>, and
C<load_html> always reaches C<started> for any markup.

A same-document navigation is a different matter entirely -- it produces no
C<load-changed> cycle for identity to work on, and resolves C<'timeout'>. See
L</go>.

=item Element registry isolation

The C<find>/C<find_all> element registry (C<window.__evwk>) lives in a
dedicated named JavaScript B<isolated world>, not the page's own main world.
An isolated world has its own global object and its own built-in prototypes
and shares only the DOM with the page, so page script cannot see or
overwrite C<window.__evwk>, and every internal DOM call (C<find>,
C<find_all>, C<wait_for>, C<html>, and all L<EV::WebKit::Element> methods)
marshals its result with the world's B<own> C<JSON.stringify> and
C<Object.prototype>. A hostile or buggy page that redefines C<JSON.stringify>
or pollutes C<Object.prototype.toJSON> therefore cannot corrupt an element
handle into pointing at the wrong node, nor stall a callback: those calls
keep returning correct results regardless of what the page does to its own
world. (C<find>/C<find_all> additionally shape-check every decoded result
and surface a clean error rather than dereferencing anything unexpected,
as defence in depth.)

C<script> and C<script_async> are the deliberate exception: they run I<your>
JavaScript in the page's main world so it can reach the page's own globals
and libraries, and so their results are marshalled by the page's (possibly
tampered) C<JSON.stringify>. That is inherent to running code in the page;
a page that has redefined C<JSON.stringify> can make your own C<script>
return a wrong value or a plain marshal error (never a hang). If you need a
trustworthy result from an untrusted page, prefer C<find>/C<find_all> and
the element accessors, which run in the isolated world.

Each navigation gets a brand new registry (ids restart at C<0>) stamped
with a fresh per-document epoch; every L<EV::WebKit::Element> handle
carries the epoch of the registry it was created from, so a handle from a
page you have since navigated away from is correctly detected as stale even
though the new page's registry happens to reuse the same numeric id --
see L<EV::WebKit::Element/"DESCRIPTION">. C<id> and C<epoch> are therefore
reserved argument names for any JavaScript run through an
L<EV::WebKit::Element> method.

=item Async completion closures

Several operations (C<script>, C<find>, C<find_all>, C<wait_for>,
C<screenshot>, and the cookie methods) register their completion with
WebKitGTK's asynchronous (C<GAsyncReadyCallback>-style)
GObject-Introspection methods, which do not release the Perl closure
passed to them once it fires. EV::WebKit is deliberately written around
this: each such closure holds only a weak reference to the browser (or
element), so instances become collectable shortly after C<quit> instead of
only at interpreter exit. This is an internal implementation detail and
requires nothing from calling code.

=back

=head1 REQUIREMENTS

WebKitGTK 6.0, GTK4, JavaScriptCore 6.0 and libsoup3, with their
GObject-Introspection typelibs (C<WebKit-6.0>, C<Gtk-4.0>, C<Gdk-4.0>,
C<JavaScriptCore-6.0>, C<Soup-3.0>); L<Glib::Object::Introspection>,
L<Glib>, L<Glib::IO>, L<EV>, L<EV::Glib>, L<File::ShareDir> and
L<Cpanel::JSON::XS>.
Xvfb (or a real X server) to actually run anything. Linux only.

=head2 Running in a container

WebKitGTK sandboxes its web process with bubblewrap, which needs to create
user and network namespaces. Where it cannot -- most containers, and hosts
that restrict unprivileged user namespaces -- the web process dies as soon as
a page is needed, and the API call B<aborts the whole program> with C<SIGABRT>
from inside the introspection layer. There is nothing this module can catch:
by the time it happens the process is already going down. The symptom is

    ERROR **: Failed to fully launch dbus-proxy: Child process exited with code 1
    Aborted

Two ways out. Give the container what bubblewrap needs -- for Docker or
Podman, C<< --cap-add SYS_ADMIN >> or C<< --security-opt seccomp=unconfined >>,
depending on the host -- or, if you accept losing the sandbox for a browser
you are driving yourself,

    WEBKIT_DISABLE_SANDBOX_THIS_IS_DANGEROUS=1

That variable is exactly as dangerous as its name says: it removes WebKit's
own isolation of the process that parses untrusted web content. Set it only
where the browser visits content you control, or where the container is
already the isolation boundary. The test suite detects this case and skips
rather than aborting, naming the same fix.

This distribution has no XS. It does compile one small shared object at
install time -- the web-process extension behind C<fingerprint> and frame
addressing -- needing only a C compiler and the glib/gobject C<pkg-config>
files, B<not> the WebKit headers. Where that toolchain is absent, the build
says so and installs anyway; everything except those two features works, and
both then fail with an error that names the missing extension rather than
hanging. L<EV::WebKit::Fingerprint/available> reports which you have.

=head1 EXAMPLES

Runnable scripts ship in C<eg/>. Each is headless under C<xvfb-run -a> and
visible with a real C<$DISPLAY>.

=over 4

=item C<eg/scrape.pl>

The commonest shape: navigate, pull structured data out of the DOM, save a
screenshot. Start here -- it also shows which accessors are synchronous
(C<title>, C<uri>) and which take a callback (everything that touches the page).

=item C<eg/fingerprint.pl>

Present as another device, then print what the page actually sees, side by side
with what the profile claims. Takes a profile name.

=item C<eg/element-shot.pl>

Screenshot a single element, by cropping a full-page capture to its
L<EV::WebKit::Element/box>. Uses L<Imager> if it is installed and says what it
skipped if not. This is a recipe rather than an API because cropping needs an
image library and this distribution does not depend on one for a single method.

Worth reading for one detail even if you never crop anything: the scale between
CSS pixels and captured pixels is B<measured> (image width against
C<window.innerWidth>) rather than read from C<window.devicePixelRatio> -- which
C<fingerprint> spoofs in JavaScript while the real rendering scale is unchanged,
so trusting it would put the crop in the wrong place on a spoofed profile.

=item C<eg/intercept.pl>

Log, block, mock and rewrite requests through C<on_request>. Needs
L<Proxy::Impersonate> 0.01 and a real external URI (local addresses bypass the
proxy -- see L</on_request>).

=item C<eg/browser.pl>

A real browser window with chrome, optionally listening on a control socket so
another process can drive it while you watch.

=item C<eg/control.pl>

The other end of that socket: drives a running browser from a separate process.
