Whose fault: prerequisite · diagnosed

No Chrome browser and no shared CDP endpoint are available in this VM.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: Starting or attaching to Chrome with remote debugging so the script can observe real tabs.

No Chrome browser and no shared CDP endpoint are available in this VM.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.

windows behavior observation needs an OS-native file/network/process collector; only the static scan ran.

No Linux syscall trace was collected.

Whose fault: prerequisite · diagnosed

No Chrome browser with remote debugging or shared CDP endpoint is available in the guest.

The run recorded a missing prerequisite and where it got stuck, so the pass did not exercise the product's real operations.

Recorded blocker / warning

Step: Observing real tabs: the README's Chrome launch step and the dry-run/example command need a Chrome CDP endpoint that this guest does not have.

Safety: No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

No problems traced to this repository code in these checks.

OSV scanned supported lockfiles; unpinned dependencies and unsupported formats are outside this check.

A short run cannot establish that code is safe.

Connections show IP addresses; proxies can hide the final hostname.

Tracing covers dispatched commands and their children, not the whole OS; guest root can interfere with tracing.

Answers recorded for this run
  • With no listener, the script reports NOT CHECKED instead of observing tabs: Real input produced the expected result: NOT CHECKED: nothing is listening on port 9222

    Source: the script prints **`NOT CHECKED: nothing is listening on port 9222`**

    Input: --port 9222 with nothing listening

    Expected: NOT CHECKED notice, exit 0

    Command: python3 close_idle_tabs.py --port 9222

    Observed: NOT CHECKED: nothing is listening on port 9222 (CDP endpoint unavailable; skipped this run).

  • Idle-seconds 0 is rejected before any endpoint check: Real input produced the expected result: --idle-seconds must be at least 1

    Source: 0 is rejected before checking for an endpoint.

    Input: --idle-seconds 0 --port 9222

    Expected: rejection error, exit 2

    Command: python3 close_idle_tabs.py --idle-seconds 0 --port 9222

    Observed: --idle-seconds must be at least 1

Examples

  • Repository offline unit tests pass (documented test command): command completed successfully

    Source: README.md

    Input: python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -q

    Expected: tests run and report OK

    Command: python3 -m unittest discover -s tests -q

    Observed: ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ran 52 tests in 0.552s OK

  • Help prints the options and exits without contacting Chrome: command completed successfully

    Source: README.md

    Input: --help

    Expected: usage text

    Command: python3 close_idle_tabs.py --help

    Observed: TATE_FILE reuse observations here (default: .close_idle_tabs_state.json in the working directory) --close close eligible pages; without this option, only report them --quiet suppress normal reports and unavailable-endpoint notices Always protect the first real page in Chrome's list (usually the most recently active). Internal pages never satisfy this guard; about:blank is a fallback only when there are no real pages. Protected pages restart their idle clock each run.

  • Dry-run tab report against a real Chrome CDP endpoint: Missing prerequisite: no Chrome with --remote-debugging-port is installed or supplied in this guest and no <env-var> is set; installing a browser is not permitted. Not run.

    Source: README.md

    Expected: documented command completes successfully

    Observed: Missing prerequisite: no Chrome with --remote-debugging-port is installed or supplied in this guest and no <env-var> is set; installing a browser is not permitted. Not run.

  • Systemd user timer template runs the report every 60 seconds: Missing prerequisites: no systemd user session and no Chrome CDP endpoint in this guest; templates not installed. Not run.

    Source: examples/cdpidletabs.timer.in

    Expected: documented command completes successfully

    Observed: Missing prerequisites: no systemd user session and no Chrome CDP endpoint in this guest; templates not installed. Not run.

Cycles

  • The report repeats every 60 seconds via a systemd user timer: Missing prerequisites: no Chrome/CDP endpoint and no systemd user session in this guest; the script itself has no internal loop, so the cycle is only the external timer. Not run.

    Source: examples/cdpidletabs.timer.in

    Input: none: needs a live CDP endpoint and a systemd user session

    Expected: one observation cycle recorded in .close_idle_tabs_state.json

    Observed: Missing prerequisites: no Chrome/CDP endpoint and no systemd user session in this guest; the script itself has no internal loop, so the cycle is only the external timer. Not run.
