v1.58.3.0 feat: gbrowser anti-detection Layer C stealth (#2047)

* feat: Layer C stealth — chrome.*, Notification, per-install hardware, toString Proxy (gbrowser T1+T3+D6)

Three additions stacked into the existing applyStealth() init script
to close the visible automation tells that today push GBrowser users
into Google's /sorry/index captcha and similar:

T1 — Strip Playwright's automation default args:
  --enable-automation                              (kills "Chrome is being
                                                    controlled" infobar)
  --disable-popup-blocking, --disable-component-update,
  --disable-default-apps                           (Patchright's list — each
                                                    is a documented tell)

  Now centralized in STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS export, used by BOTH
  launchHeaded() and handoff() (the headless → headed re-launch path).

D6 — Drop "GStackBrowser" UA branding suffix:
  Real Chrome's UA ends `Safari/537.36`, not `Safari/537.36 GStackBrowser`.
  The branded suffix was a high-entropy classifier for any vendor that
  grep'd UA for known automation/test-browser strings. Branding still
  lives in the wrapper .app name + Dock icon + tray — does not need
  to leak via the UA string for the product to be "GBrowser." Resolves
  the "looks like Chrome but identifies as GStackBrowser" contradiction
  codex review #18 flagged.

T3 — Layer C init-script additions in stealth.ts:

  1. Function.prototype.toString Proxy (must run first). Wraps every
     patched getter / function in a WeakSet so they report
     `function NAME() { [native code] }` at every recursion depth,
     defeating the depth-3+ integrity check
     (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')).

  2. window.chrome.runtime / chrome.app / chrome.csi / chrome.loadTimes
     restoration with full enum shape (OnInstalledReason, PlatformArch,
     PlatformOs, etc.) + method bodies. Real Chrome ships these; their
     absence is universally checked. Vendor research (gbrowser plan
     deep-dive on Cloudflare + DataDome) confirmed both vendors probe
     this shape directly.

  3. Notification.permission aligned to 'default'. The existing inline
     addInitScript already spoofs permissions.query({name:'notifications'})
     to return 'prompt' — Notification.permission being 'denied' while
     Permissions returns 'prompt' is a cross-source inconsistency that
     detectors flag specifically.

  4. Per-install hardware values via GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY /
     GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY env vars (set by gbd's host_profile.go from
     system_profiler + sysctl). Reporting real host values within the
     Chrome shape avoids the cross-user GBrowser fingerprint cluster
     that hardcoded defaults would create. Codex review #10 flagged
     hardcoding as creating contradictions across Apple Silicon / Intel
     / UA-CH architecture.

  5. Selenium 25-global cleanup + PhantomJS + NightmareJS + Watir +
     Playwright (__pwInitScripts, __playwright__binding__) static-name
     deletion. The inline block continues to handle the dynamic
     cdc_/__webdriver/__selenium/__driver prefixes.

D7 (codex correction) kept: still do NOT fake navigator.plugins or
navigator.languages. Synthesizing those triggers MORE consistency
flags from modern fingerprinters than letting Chromium surface them
natively.

Test coverage:
- 15 new tests in stealth-layer-c.test.ts covering: launch-flag
  exports, script structure, toString-Proxy installs first, every
  spoof present, hardware values interpolated from input (not
  hardcoded), Selenium global cleanup spot-check, no GStackBrowser
  leak in stealth payload, backwards-compat exports preserved.
- All 8 existing stealth-webdriver tests still pass.
- All 2 existing browser-manager-unit tests still pass.

For GBrowser specifically: this is the gstack-side half of Phase 1 / T1
+ T3 + D6 in the anti-detection plan. The gbrowser repo's submodule
pointer bump will land alongside this.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs — Pack 1 cmdline-switch construction for gbrowser

New stealth.ts export that turns the GSTACK_* env vars (already populated
by gbrowser's gbd from host_profile.go) into the --gstack-* cmdline
switches the Pack 1 Chromium patches read at WebGL getParameter,
NavigatorUA::userAgentData, NavigatorConcurrentHardware::hardwareConcurrency,
and NavigatorDeviceMemory::deviceMemory time.

Wired into all three launchArgs sites: launch() (headless), launchHeaded()
(real product path), and handoff() (headless → headed re-launch).

Mapping:
  GSTACK_GPU_VENDOR      → --gstack-gpu-vendor
  GSTACK_GPU_RENDERER    → --gstack-gpu-renderer
  GSTACK_PLATFORM        → --gstack-ua-platform (with mapping:
                            MacARM/MacIntel → macOS, Win32 → Windows,
                            Linux x86_64 → Linux)
  GSTACK_GPU_CHIPSET     → --gstack-ua-model
  GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY  → --gstack-hw-concurrency
  GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY   → --gstack-device-memory

Each switch is emitted only when its env var is non-empty — empty
values fall through to the patch's "no override" path, which returns
the real Chromium native value. Safe to ship on Chromium builds
without the Pack 1 patches applied (zero behavior change).

The patches themselves live in the gbrowser repo at chromium/patches/
{webgl-vendor-spoof,ua-client-hints-stealth,worker-navigator-stealth}.patch.
Both halves (gstack arg construction + gbrowser C++ patches) must
land + Chromium rebuild before the spoof reaches the WebGL/UA-CH/
hardware accessors. Currently dormant until then.

Tests (browse/test/stealth-layer-c.test.ts):
  7 new buildGStackLaunchArgs cases — empty env, all-populated, partial,
  platform mapping (MacARM/MacIntel/Win32/Linux), unrecognized platform
  fallthrough, vendor-with-spaces escape-safety.
  All 32 stealth/browser-manager tests pass.

For GBrowser specifically: gstack-side half of the Pack 1 flag plumbing.
gbrowser repo will bump the submodule pointer to this commit, then re-run
bun run test/anti-bot/evidence-run.ts to verify creepjs's "33% headless"
score drops after Pack 1 + Chromium rebuild.

* feat: buildGStackLaunchArgs adds --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace

Pack 2 / B11 flag plumbing for the new
error-preparestacktrace-stealth.patch in gbrowser/chromium/patches/.

Always emit --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace unless the caller
explicitly sets GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off in the environment. Off by
default in patch behavior (no-op without the C++ patch), so this is
safe on stock Playwright Chromium too.

Closes the Cloudflare canary trick where a page sets
Error.prepareStackTrace and watches for it to fire during CDP
serialization of a logged Error object.

Tests:
  All 33 stealth/browser-manager tests pass. New cases:
  - GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off disables suppression
  - empty env still emits the always-on flag (count=1)
  - all-populated env now emits 7 flags (was 6)

* fix(browse): enable Chromium sandbox on headed launchPersistentContext

Mirrors v1.40.0.1 from main lineage (PR #1617). Cherry-picked onto
gbrowser-anti-detection so the GBrowser submodule can consume the fix
without waiting for main to merge.

Playwright auto-adds --no-sandbox whenever chromiumSandbox !== true
(playwright-core/lib/server/chromium/chromium.js:291-292). The headless
chromium.launch() site set the option; the two headed sites
(launchHeaded() and handoff()) did not. Every headed launch on macOS
and Linux showed Chromium's yellow "unsupported command-line flag:
--no-sandbox" infobar.

shouldEnableChromiumSandbox() centralizes the Win32 / CI / CONTAINER /
root heuristic that previously lived only in the headless path's
explicit --no-sandbox push at :225. All three launch sites now use the
helper, and six unit tests pin the policy across darwin, linux, win32,
CI, CONTAINER, and root.

* v1.40.0.2 fix(browse): Cmd+Q on managed Chromium stops triggering supervisor respawn

Three browser.on('disconnected') handlers in browse/src/browser-manager.ts
(launch, launchHeaded, handoff) each exited with a non-zero code on every
disconnect, regardless of cause. Process supervisors that consume our exit
code (gbrowser's gbd HealthMonitor in cmd/gbd/health.go) treated user
Cmd+Q identical to a Chromium crash and respawned with exponential
backoff, so the visible browser kept reappearing after the user closed it.

Add resolveDisconnectCause(browser) that reads the underlying ChildProcess
exitCode + signalCode (waiting up to 1s for the exit event if the
disconnected event fired first). Exit code 0 + no signal = clean user
quit; anything else = crash, signal-kill, or OOM.

Wire the resolver into all three disconnect handlers:
- launch() (headless): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 1 (was always 1)
- launchHeaded() (headed): clean → exit 0, crash → exit 2 (was always 2)
  onDisconnect() cleanup callback still runs in both cases.
- handoff() (re-launch): same as launch() via the helper.

Preserve the per-path crash codes (1 vs 2) so any supervisor that
differentiated headed vs headless crashes keeps working.

Seven new unit tests in browse-manager-unit.test.ts cover the resolver
across already-exited, signal-killed (SIGSEGV / SIGKILL), async exits,
and null-browser inputs.

* fix(browse): apply stealth on every launch path + share automation-artifact cleanup

handoff() built cmdline args but never called applyStealth, so a handed-off
browser had no JS stealth (no webdriver mask, no chrome.* shape, no toString
proxy). And the cdc_/Permissions cleanup shim lived inline in launchHeaded()
only, so headless launch() reported Notification.permission='default' without
the matching permissions.query='prompt' answer — the exact cross-source
inconsistency the shim exists to prevent.

Move the cleanup into AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT inside applyStealth so
all three launch paths (launch, launchHeaded, handoff) get identical stealth,
and call applyStealth(newContext) in handoff() before restoreState() navigates.

A static tripwire in browser-manager-unit.test.ts fails CI if any launch path
drops the applyStealth call again.

* fix(browse): make --gstack-suppress-prepare-stack-trace opt-in, not default-on

buildGStackLaunchArgs() pushed the flag unless GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=off, i.e.
on-by-default — contradicting its own comment ("off by default, only for
gbrowser builds"). The switch is read by a C++ patch that only exists in
gbrowser; on stock Playwright Chromium it is an unknown switch.

Flip to opt-in: emit only when GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH is on/1/true. gbd opts in by
exporting GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH=on; stock installs leave it unset so the flag
never reaches a Chromium that wouldn't understand it. Comment now matches code.

* docs(browse): correct stale stealth comments

The file-level stealth.ts docstring claimed "we DON'T fake navigator.plugins"
while the same file now ships EXTENDED_STEALTH_SCRIPT, which does fake plugins
when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended. Clarify that Layer C (the always-on default)
doesn't fake plugins and the opt-in extended mode does, as the documented
"actively lies, may break sites" escape hatch.

Also fix the launch()/launchHeaded() comments that said "mask navigator.webdriver
only" — applyStealth (Layer C) also restores window.chrome.*, aligns
Notification.permission, and sets per-install hardware.

* test(browse): runtime + extended-mode coverage for the stealth blend

The stealth tests were all static string-shape assertions; nothing executed
the script in a real page. Add real-Chromium runtime checks via applyStealth +
page.evaluate:

- Layer C runtime: window.chrome.* rich shape, Notification.permission='default'
  paired with permissions.query notifications='prompt' (guards the shim now
  running on every path), and patched getters reporting [native code].
- Per-install hardware: navigator.hardwareConcurrency/deviceMemory reflect the
  GSTACK_* env profile.
- Extended-mode blend: navigator.plugins is faked when GSTACK_STEALTH=extended,
  Layer C still wins window.chrome.runtime, and navigator.webdriver stays false
  (own-prop getter survives extended's prototype delete).
- Persistent-context (launchHeaded/handoff) parity now uses a page created
  AFTER applyStealth — the old test checked pages()[0], which predates the init
  script, so webdriver was false only via the launch arg, not Layer C.

* fix(browse): handoff() + launchHeaded() spread the shared STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS

handoff() built its launch args from only ['--hide-crash-restore-bubble',
...buildGStackLaunchArgs()], omitting STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS — so a handed-off
browser kept the --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled tell that
launch() and launchHeaded() strip. launchHeaded() also hardcoded the flag as a
literal. Both now spread the shared constant, so the AutomationControlled flag
lives in one place across all three launch paths.

Tripwires: STEALTH_LAUNCH_ARGS spread into >= 3 sites (no inline literal) and
STEALTH_IGNORE_DEFAULT_ARGS wired into both persistent-context paths.

* refactor(browse): drop dead HostProfile.platform, export test internals

HostProfile.platform was set by readHostProfile but never read by
buildStealthScript — the platform spoof is owned by the UA-CH cmdline switch in
buildGStackLaunchArgs (which reads GSTACK_PLATFORM directly). Remove the dead
field. Export readHostProfile and AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT so their
clamp/shape invariants can be unit-tested. Correct the stale "25 Selenium
globals" count comment and note the extended cdc_ scan is redundant-but-retained
for standalone use.

* test(browse): cover readHostProfile clamp, toString depth-3, chrome.* calls

Pre-landing review coverage gaps:
- readHostProfile clamps 0/negative/NaN/missing env to 8 (a deviceMemory=0 or
  NaN would be a glaring bot tell) — now asserted.
- toString proxy survives the depth-3 recursion trick
  (fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')), the headline
  claim that was only tested at depth-1.
- chrome.csi() and chrome.loadTimes() are invoked (not just typeof-checked) and
  runtime.connect() throws the native-shaped "No matching signature" error.
- AUTOMATION_ARTIFACT_CLEANUP_SCRIPT static shape (cdc_/__webdriver strip +
  notifications->prompt) as a hermetic backup for the live-Chromium pairing test.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix(browse): recreateContext() re-applies stealth (closes 4th un-stealth path)

useragent and viewport --scale route through recreateContext(), which rebuilds
the BrowserContext via newContext() — a fresh context with no init scripts. It
never called applyStealth, so a routine useragent/viewport-scale command
silently dropped webdriver masking, window.chrome.* shape, hardware spoof, and
the cdc/Permissions cleanup on every restored page. Caught by the cross-model
adversarial review (Codex) after the Claude pass and eng review missed it.

Both the main and fallback paths now call applyStealth before any page is
created. The launch-path tripwire is raised to >= 4 sites and now asserts the
recreateContext() body specifically, so the regression class can't recur.

Also documents the load-bearing trust assumption on buildGStackLaunchArgs /
readHostProfile (GSTACK_* must be gbd-sourced, never page/remote data — the
injection-safety argument depends on it) and the notifications-permission
spoof tradeoff.

* chore: bump version and changelog (v1.58.3.0)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

* docs: sync browser stealth docs to Layer C (v1.58.3.0)

BROWSER.md "Stealth scope" still described the default as navigator.webdriver
masking only; Layer C is now the always-on default across all four
context-creation paths. Update the stealth-scope prose, the "What GStack
Browser means" blurb (stock-Chrome UA, no GStackBrowser suffix, captchas can
still get through at the CDP layer), the stealth.ts source-map line, and the
env-vars table (GSTACK_STEALTH, GSTACK_CDP_STEALTH, GSTACK_GPU_*, GSTACK_PLATFORM,
GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY/GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY + the explicit --gstack-* switches and
ignoreDefaultArgs stripping). Correct the stale "narrows to navigator.webdriver
masking only" premise on the open CDP-patch TODO (the TODO itself stays open —
the CDP-protocol layer is still unaddressed).

/**
* Stealth init scripts — anti-bot detection countermeasures.
* Stealth init script — Layer C of GBrowser's anti-detection plan.
*
* Two modes:
* D7 (codex correction, kept): Layer C (the always-on default built by
* buildStealthScript) does NOT fake navigator.plugins or
* navigator.languages — modern fingerprinters cross-check those against
* userAgent / platform / OS, and synthesizing fixed values flags MORE
* bot-like, not less. Plugins and languages surface their native
* Chromium values. The opt-in EXTENDED_STEALTH_SCRIPT below (gated on
* GSTACK_STEALTH=extended, off by default) DOES fake plugins — that mode
* is the documented "actively lies, may break sites" escape hatch, not
* the default posture.
*
* 1. DEFAULT (consistency-first, always on): masks navigator.webdriver
* and adds --disable-blink-features=AutomationControlled. This is
* the original "codex narrowed" minimum that preserves fingerprint
* consistency — letting plugins/languages/chrome.runtime surface
* native Chromium values keeps the fingerprint internally coherent.
* What this script DOES do (the new additions for Phase 1):
* 1. Mask navigator.webdriver (the canonical headless tell).
* 2. Restore window.chrome.runtime / app / csi / loadTimes — real
* Chrome ships them; their absence in headless/automation is a
* universally-checked tell. (Vendor research: Cloudflare + DataDome
* check chrome.runtime presence + enum shape.)
* 3. Align Notification.permission with the Permissions API spoof
* that the inline addInitScript already applies — `denied` while
* Permissions returns `prompt` is a cross-source inconsistency
* detectors flag.
* 4. Report per-install hardware values via GSTACK_HW_CONCURRENCY /
* GSTACK_DEVICE_MEMORY env vars (set by gbd at startup via
* system_profiler + sysctl). Per-install honesty avoids the
* cross-user fingerprint cluster a hardcoded default would create.
* 5. Install a Function.prototype.toString Proxy that makes every
* patched getter report `function ... { [native code] }` at every
* recursion depth — defeats the well-known depth-3 detection trick
* (`fn.toString.toString.toString().includes('[native code]')`)
* that breaks naive stealth tooling.
*
* 2. EXTENDED (opt-in via GSTACK_STEALTH=extended): six additional
* detection-vector patches on top of the default. Closes the
* SannySoft test corpus to a 100% pass rate. Originally proposed in
* PR #1112 (garrytan, Apr 2026).
*
* Vectors patched in extended mode:
* - navigator.webdriver property fully deleted from prototype
* (not just `false` — detectors check `"webdriver" in navigator`)
* - WebGL renderer spoofed to a plausible Apple M1 Pro string
* (SwiftShader was the #1 software-GPU giveaway in containers)
* - navigator.plugins returns a real PluginArray with proper
* MimeType objects and namedItem() — `instanceof PluginArray`
* passes
* - window.chrome populated with chrome.app, chrome.runtime,
* chrome.loadTimes(), chrome.csi() with correct shapes
* - navigator.mediaDevices present (some headless builds drop it)
* - CDP cdc_* property names cleared from window
*
* Trade-off: extended mode actively LIES about the browser
* environment. Sites that reflect on these properties can break or
* misbehave. Use only when the default mode triggers detection AND
* the target is anti-bot-protected. Not recommended as a global
* default.
* Codex caveat (acknowledged): a Proxy on Function.prototype.toString
* still has detection surfaces (descriptors, Reflect.ownKeys, cross-
* realm identity). Phase 2's C++ patches make this layer obsolete by
* pushing the spoofs to native code where toString is truly native.
* Until then, this is the best JS-only approach.
