Add Chrome extension for opening webpage datasets

[giswqs]

Summary

• add a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that discovers geospatial dataset links on the active page
• let users filter vector/raster datasets, select files, and open them together through repeated GeoLibre data query parameters
• discover links from HTML, JSON-LD, existing GeoLibre deep links, and complete virtualized Source Cooperative inventories
• canonicalize Source Cooperative download links to remove duplicate page/data-host entries
• include GeoLibre branding, minimal activeTab/scripting permissions, privacy policy, store listing copy, and reproducible Web Store ZIP packaging

Source Cooperative validation

On https://source.coop/giswqs/opengeos, the scanner currently finds 62 unique supported datasets:

• 45 vector
• 17 raster
• 0 duplicate URLs

Validation

• npm run test:frontend — 6,015 passed, 0 failed, 1 skipped
• node --import tsx --test tests/chrome-extension.test.ts
• ESLint on extension, packaging script, and tests
• browser QA for populated results, vector/raster filters, visible-only bulk selection, disabled state, and generated GeoLibre URL
• npm run build:chrome-extension
• unzip -t dist/geolibre-data-opener-0.1.0.zip
• git diff --check

Permissions

The extension requests only activeTab and scripting. It has no host permissions, storage, browsing-history, cookies, downloads, analytics, or remote code.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

Adds a Manifest V3 Chrome extension that scans webpages for geospatial datasets, lets users select results, opens them in GeoLibre, and packages versioned ZIP archives for release.

Changes

GeoLibre data opener

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Dataset discovery and normalization extensions/geolibre-chrome/scanner.mjs, tests/chrome-extension.test.ts	Scans links, metadata, JSON-LD, media attributes, GeoLibre links, and Source Cooperative inventories. Classifies, canonicalizes, deduplicates, sorts, and pairs datasets with styles. Tests cover these paths.
GeoLibre URL construction extensions/geolibre-chrome/url-builder.mjs, tests/chrome-extension.test.ts	Validates dataset and style URLs, then builds repeated data and positional style parameters. Tests cover validation and parameter behavior.
Popup scanning and selection flow extensions/geolibre-chrome/popup.html, extensions/geolibre-chrome/popup.mjs, extensions/geolibre-chrome/popup.css	Adds the popup interface, active-tab scanning, dataset rendering, vector/raster filters, selection controls, error states, accessibility behavior, and GeoLibre tab opening.
Extension configuration and distribution extensions/geolibre-chrome/manifest.json, scripts/package-chrome-extension.mjs, package.json, .github/workflows/release.yml, docs/user-guide/*, extensions/geolibre-chrome/{README.md,PRIVACY.md,STORE_LISTING.md}, mkdocs.yml	Defines the Manifest V3 extension, packages deterministic versioned ZIP files, publishes release artifacts, adds documentation and store materials, and adds the user-guide navigation entry.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to 3bc7b

The PR is mergeable with explicit owner awareness, but the current release workflow can remove an existing asset if a replacement upload fails, dataset discovery can omit an associated style URL, and the privacy and store documentation overstate URL handling and authenticated-link limitations. These bounded issues should be corrected or explicitly accepted before relying on the release process.

Poem

I’m a rabbit with links in my ear,
Scanning datasets far and near.
ZIP them tight, then hop away,
GeoLibre opens them today.
“No lost carrots!” I cheer.

Code review

Bugs

• manifest.json declares minimum_chrome_version: "102", but popup.css uses the :has() relational selector, which Chrome only supports from version 105. On the declared minimum versions the "checked row" highlight silently fails to apply. Confidence: medium.

Security

• No injection, XSS, or secret-leak issues found. DOM construction throughout popup.mjs uses createElement/textContent, never innerHTML; scanner.mjs restricts discovered links to http:/https:; url-builder.mjs re-validates protocols before building the deep link; the manifest requests only activeTab/scripting with no host permissions, matching the stated minimal-permission design. Confidence: high.

Performance

• No significant issues. The unbounded recursion in scanner.mjs's visitStructuredData (walking arbitrary JSON-LD) has no depth guard, but JSON.parse output can't be circular and realistic pages won't be deep enough to matter — low confidence, not flagged inline.

Quality

• scripts/package-chrome-extension.mjs imports fflate directly, but it isn't declared in root package.json (which has no dependencies field). It currently resolves only because it's hoisted as a transitive dependency of other workspace packages (pmtiles, maplibre-gl-vector, @loaders.gl/*), making npm run build:chrome-extension fragile to future dependency changes. Confidence: medium.
• The Source Cooperative inventory scraper in scanner.mjs regex-matches an internal, undocumented Next.js RSC payload shape ("path" immediately followed by "type":"file"); if that shape changes it degrades silently with no test/runtime signal. Confidence: low — acknowledged as a heuristic in the surrounding comment.

CLAUDE.md

• No violations found. New UI strings live entirely in a separate Chrome extension surface outside the react-i18next-covered app, so the i18n convention doesn't apply here; no MapLibre/store-mutation, plugin registry, or other CLAUDE.md-governed pattern is touched by this change.

Code review

Bugs

• popup.mjs (161–169): if the "Open in GeoLibre" click handler throws (e.g. chrome.tabs.create fails), showError hides the entire results panel, wiping the already-scanned dataset list and the user's selections with no way back except closing and reopening the popup (full rescan). Confidence: medium.
• scanner.mjs addDataset (81–110): nested-GeoLibre-link unpacking has no recursion depth guard; a page containing self-referential or deeply chained geolibre.app?data=... links could recurse arbitrarily. Practically hard to exploit meaningfully given URL length limits, so low severity. Confidence: low.

Security

• No injection, XSS, or unsafe-eval issues found. DOM insertion consistently uses textContent, chrome.scripting.executeScript runs in the isolated world with no world: "MAIN", all discovered links are protocol-checked to http:/https: before use, JSON-LD is parsed with JSON.parse (not eval), and the manifest requests only activeTab/scripting with no host permissions or remote code — matches the PR's stated privacy/permission model. Confidence: high.

Performance

• scanner.mjs (166–199): the Source Cooperative inventory scan concatenates and regex-scans the text of every <script> tag on the page, not just the one carrying the inventory payload. On pages with large inline scripts this does unnecessary work, and the extraction depends on a very specific double-escaped-quote serialization that would silently stop matching (no error, just fewer results) if the site's payload format changes. Confidence: medium.
• No other notable inefficiencies; scanning logic is linear over DOM nodes/links with no obvious pathological regex backtracking.

Quality

• popup.mjs inspectPage only scripts the top-level frame (chrome.scripting.executeScript without allFrames: true), so dataset links embedded in an iframe (common for embedded catalog widgets) won't be discovered. Likely an intentional scope choice, but worth confirming. Confidence: low.
• Test coverage (tests/chrome-extension.test.ts) is thorough for the scanner and URL builder, covering dedup, canonicalization, JSON-LD, nested GeoLibre links, and Source Cooperative inventory parsing.

CLAUDE.md

• extensions/ and scripts/package-chrome-extension.mjs aren't included in the npm run lint glob (eslint apps packages workers tests), so despite the PR description noting ESLint was run manually, it isn't wired into npm run ci going forward. Low practical impact today since the repo's eslint.config.mjs only enforces react-hooks rules (irrelevant to this plain-JS extension code), but flagging the gap. Confidence: low.
• docs/user-guide/chrome-extension.md (line 11) hardcodes a specific release tag (v2.6.0) and versioned asset filename (geolibre-chrome-0.1.0.zip) for manual install instructions; this will go stale on the next release of either the app or the extension with no build-time check to catch it. Confidence: medium.
• Release workflow changes (new chrome-extension job in release.yml) correctly inherit the top-level contents: write permission for gh release upload, and align with the repo's recent move away from actions/setup-node caching in release builds.

In @.github/workflows/release.yml:
- Around line 44-48: Update the “Attach Chrome extension to GitHub Release” step
by removing the --clobber option from the gh release upload command, while
preserving the existing TAG and Chrome ZIP asset arguments.

In `@extensions/geolibre-chrome/PRIVACY.md`:
- Around line 5-6: Update the privacy statement to acknowledge that complete
selected HTTP(S) URLs, including possible credentials or personal data, are
forwarded through the data and style query parameters to web.geolibre.app, and
document that service’s retention and logging behavior; alternatively, enforce
rejection of credential-bearing URLs in the URL-building/navigation flow before
forwarding.

In `@extensions/geolibre-chrome/scanner.mjs`:
- Around line 100-109: Update the dataset replacement logic around datasets.set
so a higher-confidence candidate inherits existing.styleUrl when the candidate
has no style URL. Preserve the candidate’s own styleUrl when present, and retain
the existing merge behavior for lower-confidence candidates.

In `@extensions/geolibre-chrome/STORE_LISTING.md`:
- Around line 29-30: Update the dataset-link limitation wording in
extensions/geolibre-chrome/STORE_LISTING.md lines 29-30 and
extensions/geolibre-chrome/README.md lines 44-46 to distinguish forwarding
complete HTTP(S) URLs, including signed query URLs, from transferring browser
credentials; state that cookie-bound or session-authenticated links may fail
because credentials are not forwarded, while retaining the existing blob:
limitation.
