Summary

• Migrate every CEF-backed scanner (whatsapp, discord, slack, telegram, wechat, meet) to the in-process CDP transport introduced in feat(cef): in-process CDP DevTools transport (foundation) #3498. The session opener was already on it; this PR finishes the cutover.
• Stop passing --remote-debugging-port=19222 to CEF at startup. The Tauri shell no longer binds a loopback DevTools listener.
• Delete the legacy TCP WebSocket attach path: CdpConn::open_ws, browser_ws_url, connect_and_attach_matching, CDP_HOST, CDP_PORT, and the four scanner-local CdpConn duplicates (whatsapp, discord, slack, telegram).
• Add label-keyed counterparts of the account-keyed CDP helpers (install_for_label / conn_for_label / connect_and_attach_matching_in_process_by_label) so Meet's meet-call-<request_id> webview can attach without a TCP listener.
• Extend the in-process transport with call_with_timeout so Slack's IDB batch serialise (Runtime.callFunctionOn over ~32 RemoteObjects) keeps the 60s budget it had on the legacy transport.

Problem

#3498 landed the in-process CDP transport (Webview::send_dev_tools_message + on_dev_tools_protocol) but only migrated the per-account session opener. Six scanner modules still attached over http://127.0.0.1:19222/json/version → loopback WebSocket. While any one of them kept that code path alive, the Tauri shell had to keep passing --remote-debugging-port=19222, which binds an unauthenticated DevTools listener that every same-UID process on the machine can attach to.

Concrete consequences:

• The earlier in-process transport did not actually remove the legacy listener — it just stopped using it from the session opener.
• Any same-UID process could attach via puppeteer.connect({ browserURL: 'http://127.0.0.1:19222/' }) and read or modify the embedded webviews (WhatsApp, Slack, Telegram, Discord, etc.).
• Five copies of struct CdpConn (whatsapp / discord / slack / telegram / meet scanners) plus their per-module browser_ws_url() and parse_targets() duplicates kept piling drift on top of the same machinery.

Solution

CDP transport

• cdp/in_process.rs: extract the registry-lookup-or-install body into install_for_label(label) and rewrite install_for_account as install_for_label(format!("acct_{id}")). Required because Meet's CEF window uses label meet-call-<request_id>, not acct_<id>. WebviewCdpTransport::call is split into call/call_with_timeout; default call keeps the 35s budget, call_with_timeout lets Slack's IDB walker pass 60s.
• cdp/target.rs: add conn_for_label<R>(app, label) and connect_and_attach_matching_in_process_by_label<R, F>(app, label, pred) as label-keyed counterparts of the existing account-keyed helpers. Both fall back to install_for_label on a cache miss so a transient install race at window creation doesn't permanently lock the surface out of CDP.
• cdp/conn.rs: rewrite CdpConn as a thin wrapper over Arc<WebviewCdpTransport>. Drop LegacyWs, connect_async, tokio_tungstenite::Message, the oneshot pending table, and LEGACY_CALL_TIMEOUT. call / call_with_timeout / pump_events forward unconditionally to the in-process transport.
• cdp/mod.rs: drop CDP_HOST / CDP_PORT and the browser_ws_url / connect_and_attach_matching re-exports; add conn_for_label, connect_and_attach_matching_in_process[_by_label], install_for_label to the surface.

Scanners

For every scanner, the per-tick attach now reads:

let pred = move |t: &crate::cdp::target::CdpTarget| -> bool {
    t.url.starts_with(&url_prefix) && t.url.ends_with(&url_fragment)
};
let (mut cdp, session) =
    crate::cdp::target::connect_and_attach_matching_in_process::<R, _>(
        &app, &account_id, pred,
    )
    .await?;

For Meet (which is window-keyed, not account-keyed):

let label = crate::meet_call::window_label_for(&request_id);
let (mut cdp, session) =
    crate::cdp::target::connect_and_attach_matching_in_process_by_label::<R, _>(
        &app, &label, pred,
    )
    .await?;

Per-scanner deltas:

• whatsapp: drop local CDP_HOST/CDP_PORT, local CdpConn, browser_ws_url, parse_targets, CdpTarget; scan_dom_once now takes &AppHandle<R> so the in-process transport can be looked up; sibling dom_snapshot.rs and idb.rs switch their CdpConn import to crate::cdp::CdpConn.
• discord: same drops; the streaming MITM path uses crate::cdp::CdpConn::pump_events with a closure capturing &mut DiscordIngestState. V1 doesn't issue in-stream calls, so dropping the unused pending: HashMap is a simplification, not a regression. dom_scan_once gains &AppHandle<R> + account_id.
• slack: drops the bigger of the two local CdpConn duplicates (the one with call_with_timeout); both scan_once and dom_scan_once now take &AppHandle<R> and reuse the per-account in-process channel for both target enumeration and attach. The pin / strict-fragment / relaxed /client fallback hierarchy is preserved verbatim.
• telegram: mirror of slack, no pin hierarchy.
• wechat: single legacy-attach callsite swapped.
• meet (scanner + audio inject + video inject + caption listener): all four TCP attach paths route through the label-keyed in-process helper using meet_call::window_label_for(request_id). install_audio_bridge, spawn_diagnostics_poller, and wait_for_meet_target thread &AppHandle<R> + request_id through.

Wiring

• meet_call/mod.rs: after WebviewWindowBuilder::build(), call crate::cdp::install_for_label(&label) so the Meet webview's in-process transport is wired up before any downstream bridge attaches. Idempotent; on transient install failure the downstream conn_for_label retries.
• lib.rs: delete args.push(("--remote-debugging-port", Some("19222"))) so the embedded CEF browser never binds a TCP DevTools listener at startup. Surrounding comments rewritten to match.
• webview_accounts/mod.rs: comment refresh — the listener no longer exists.
• gmessages_scanner/mod.rs: TODO comment refreshed to point at conn_for_account / connect_and_attach_matching_in_process instead of the long-gone CDP_HOST / CDP_PORT.

Submission Checklist

If a section does not apply to this change, mark the item as N/A with a one-line reason. Do not delete items.

• N/A: this PR is a pure transport refactor — every per-scanner code path keeps the same predicate, attach shape, and Target.getTargets resolution. Existing test coverage for each scanner exercises the swapped attach path unchanged. (Tests added or updated per Testing Strategy.)
• N/A: refactor-only change with no business-logic deltas; the diff is dominated by deletions (~1180 LOC) and the new code lives behind the same call signatures the existing test suite already drives. (Diff coverage ≥ 80%.)
• N/A: no feature additions/removals/renames; the test coverage matrix already lists each scanner. (Coverage matrix updated.)
• N/A: no feature IDs to enumerate. (Affected feature IDs listed under Related.)
• No new external network dependencies introduced (mock backend used per Testing Strategy).
• N/A: no release-cut surface touched. (Manual smoke checklist updated if this touches release-cut surfaces.)
• Linked issue closed via Closes #NNN in the ## Related section.

Impact

• Runtime / platform: desktop CEF builds. CEF no longer binds a loopback DevTools listener for the lifetime of the embedded browser. Any tooling that previously attached via http://127.0.0.1:19222/json/version will fail with ECONNREFUSED; nothing in-tree depends on that surface.
• Security: removes an unauthenticated same-UID attach surface from the CEF browser. After this PR, CDP traffic flows only through the in-process Webview::send_dev_tools_message channel, which stays within the process boundary.
• Performance: net deletion of ~750 LOC and removal of the per-attach connect_async handshake + tungstenite read loop. Attach setup goes from a TCP /json/version GET + WebSocket handshake to a single registry lookup.
• Migration / compatibility: external developers that scripted the loopback DevTools port for one-off debugging will need to use tauri::Webview::open_devtools() or attach from inside the running process. No production code path relied on it.

Related

• Closes:
• Follow-up PR(s)/TODOs: tokio-tungstenite stays in Cargo.toml because meet_video/frame_bus.rs and webview_apis/server.rs still use it for their WebSocket servers. Once those land their own in-process replacements the crate can be dropped.

Behavior Changes

• User-visible effect: none on the happy path. Any external tooling that scripted 127.0.0.1:19222/json/version will fail with ECONNREFUSED.

Parity Contract

• Legacy behavior preserved: per-scanner attach predicates (url.starts_with(url_prefix) && url.ends_with(url_fragment)), Slack's pin-on-strict-match resolution hierarchy, Slack's 60s IDB serialise budget (now via call_with_timeout), Discord's per-event dispatch shape (now via canonical pump_events), Meet's per-call label routing (meet-call-<request_id>).
• Guard/fallback/dispatch parity checks: every scanner still falls through to its legacy log+continue branch on attach failure; conn_for_label / conn_for_account retry install_for_label / install_for_account once on a registry miss so a transient install race at window creation doesn't permanently lock the surface out of CDP.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

All CDP communication is migrated from a dual-backend (in-process + legacy loopback WebSocket) model to exclusively in-process transport. CdpConn is simplified to wrap Arc<WebviewCdpTransport>, a new call_with_timeout API is added, label-based attach helpers are introduced, the --remote-debugging-port CEF flag is removed, and every scanner (Discord, Slack, Telegram, WhatsApp, WeChat) and Meet module is updated to use the shared in-process attach path.

Poem

🐇 Hop hop, the WebSocket is gone!
No loopback port to linger on.
In-process now, the CDP flows,
Through Tauri's veins the data goes.
One transport rules them all today —
This rabbit swept old code away! ✨

Approve ✅ (with comments — one fast-follow filed)

Security-positive, carefully executed refactor that finishes the in-process CDP cutover and closes the unauthenticated same-UID loopback DevTools surface. CI is fully green. The mechanical migration of all six scanners preserves every predicate, attach shape, pin/fallback hierarchy, and log-and-continue error path; the get_or_create install path correctly serializes observer registration under the registry mutex (CEF has no un-register hook), and pending-map cleanup is leak-free on all three exit paths.

One Major (medium-confidence) concern is Discord-specific and tracked as a fast-follow rather than gating this security win: #3693. Discord is the only scanner using the long-lived pump_events loop, and (1) it can't self-heal a dead/stale session — pump_events only returns on transport teardown, not on page-target loss (Ctrl+R / renderer crash / SPA hard-nav), so it never re-attaches until the webview is destroyed; and (2) the 256-slot broadcast drops frames on Lagged with no idle watchdog, despite the cdp/conn.rs comment promising one. See inline comments.

Non-blocking items to fix in this PR (zero-risk):

• The run_mitm_session doc comment ("Returns when the underlying WebSocket closes, the page target disappears…") and the cdp/conn.rs Lagged comment ("the caller's idle watchdog will eventually time out the session") no longer match the in-process implementation — please correct both.
• cdp/in_process.rs:519 cites integration test cdp_in_process_e2e.rs, which doesn't exist anywhere in the repo (pre-existing from #3498). Either land it or drop the reference; cdp/conn.rs + cdp/target.rs currently ship with zero unit tests, and the new pump_events session-id filter is pure, testable logic.

Minor / low-confidence: call_with_timeout changed from a per-read timeout (reset on every inbound frame) to a total wall-clock cap. For Slack's 60s IDB walk (slack_scanner/idb.rs:314) this is almost certainly equivalent (dedicated session, no interleaved frames), but it's a real semantic change worth a line in the parity contract rather than "preserved verbatim."

Nice work overall — approving on the basis that #3693 owns the Discord watchdog and the doc/test-reference cleanups land here.

[sanil-23]

Major (medium confidence) — tracked in #3693. This long-lived pump can't self-heal a dead session: pump_events only returns on RecvError::Closed (transport/webview teardown), not when the attached page target dies (Discord Ctrl+R, renderer crash, SPA hard-nav). Target.detachedFromTarget isn't acted on (discovery never enabled; dispatch_event ignores unknown methods), so the outer reconnect loop is never re-entered and the MITM silently stops capturing until the webview is destroyed.

Suggest an idle watchdog (> Discord's ~41s gateway heartbeat, e.g. 90s) so a stalled/destroyed session forces a return → re-attach. Also: the run_mitm_session doc comment above ("Returns when the underlying WebSocket closes, the page target disappears, or any dispatch hits an unrecoverable error") is now false for all three clauses — please correct it in this PR.

[sanil-23]

Major (medium confidence) — tracked in #3693. On Lagged the pump logs and continues, silently dropping CDP frames once the single consumer falls >256 behind (EVENT_CHANNEL_CAP). The comment above states recovery relies on "the caller's idle watchdog" — but the Discord consumer (the only long-lived pump) has no watchdog, so dropped Network.* frames during a burst = missed messages with no re-sync. Either validate 256 against Discord's burst volume or drain this consumer into an unbounded queue, and reword the comment so it doesn't promise a watchdog that doesn't exist for this caller.
