fix(chrome): find map services without broad host permissions#1998giswqs wants to merge 5 commits into
Conversation
The Chrome Web Store flags `http://*/*` and `https://*/*` for in-depth review, and those existed only so `webRequest` could watch map requests. The popup now reads each frame's Resource Timing buffer under activeTab instead, leaving the extension with activeTab and scripting alone. MapLibre fetches vector tiles from a worker, which that buffer never records, so such a tileset is recovered from the TileJSON or style the main thread did fetch; GeoLibre now accepts a vector tiles deep link carrying only a style.

This Mirrors/CogRenderEngineMirrorIsExact addition (and the matching CLAUDE.md paragraph) is unrelated to the PR's stated purpose — a Chrome-extension host-permissions fix. It looks like a legitimate, self-contained type-safety improvement (mirroring the pattern already documented for other hand-copied constants in CLAUDE.md), and the bidirectional extends trick is valid TypeScript, so it's not wrong — just worth flagging as scope creep bundled into an otherwise tightly-focused PR. If it wasn't intentional, consider splitting it into its own PR so the Chrome extension change stays easy to review/revert independently.
Confidence: low-medium (not a bug, purely a PR-hygiene observation).

- Offer a style as a candidate of its own only when its path names it a map style (`…/style.json`, `…/styles.json`, an ArcGIS `…/resources/styles/<name> .json`). The looser `…/styles/<name>.json` is an ordinary theme route too, so a style matched that way still explains a tileset at its origin but no longer surfaces on its own, where a page's theme file would appear as a layer. - State the raster-TileJSON failure precisely in the README: Add Data resolves the document on submit and refuses it when no source layers come out, rather than every selection opening on an empty dialog.

Quality (low confidence, scope note): This Mirrors/CogRenderEngineMirrorIsExact addition (and the matching CLAUDE.md entry) is unrelated to the PR's stated purpose (Chrome extension host-permission removal). GeoLibreCogRenderEngine in packages/plugins/src/types.ts isn't touched by this diff, so this reads like an unrelated drive-by change bundled into a security/privacy-focused PR. Worth splitting into its own PR for a cleaner review trail, unless it was intentionally folded in.
Separately, the Mirror extends Source, Source forward-reference-in-constraint trick is unusual enough that it's worth double-checking npm run typecheck actually enforces both directions as intended (e.g. temporarily drop one union member from GeoLibreCogRenderEngine and confirm tsc fails) rather than relying on inspection alone.

Scope note stands and is the maintainer's call: 6b7da56 was committed straight to this branch while it was checked out, not authored as part of the extension change. Leaving this open for them; I have not touched that commit.
On the second half, I did check rather than eyeball it. Dropping titiler from GeoLibreCogRenderEngine fails the build with maplibre-raster.ts(462,11): error TS2344: Type 'RenderEngine' does not satisfy the constraint 'GeoLibreCogRenderEngine', and adding a member the real union lacks fails the other assertion at line 461 (plus a knock-on error in usePlugins.ts). Both directions are enforced. types.ts was restored afterwards; neither experiment is in the branch.

- Keep a self-naming style over a generic one from the same origin. 6555235 made the fallback depend on that flag, but the map kept only the last style seen per origin, so a theme file fetched after `/style.json` stranded a worker-only tileset and handed an existing one the wrong style document. A test covers both request orders and fails without the fix.

Correctness / needs manual verification (medium confidence): This whole redesign hinges on activeTab extending to cross-origin iframes for scripting.executeScript({ allFrames: true, ... }). Chrome's own docs on activeTab are historically worded around "the tab's page and same-origin iframes," and it's not 100% clear from the public docs that a genuinely cross-origin iframe (e.g. the MapLibre demo embedded from a different domain, called out in the PR's own test table) is covered without additional host permissions.
The PR's test plan claims this was verified live against a real iframed MapLibre example, so this may well be fine in current Chrome — but since the entire point of the PR is dropping webRequest/host permissions in favor of activeTab+scripting, it's worth double-checking (ideally via the unpacked-extension manual test in the checklist, on a genuinely cross-origin iframe) before this ships, since a silent frame-injection failure here would quietly regress iframe-embedded map detection with no error surfaced to the user (the catch around this block swallows it into a console.debug).
| - `MAX_VECTOR_BYTES` (`packages/plugins/src/plugins/remote-file-formats.ts`) mirrors `MAX_REMOTE_FILE_BYTES`, an **internal, unexported** constant in `maplibre-gl-vector` (2 GiB — DuckDB-WASM holds remote file sizes in 32 bits). It cannot be imported, so whenever `maplibre-gl-vector` is bumped (in `packages/plugins/package.json`) — including Dependabot PRs — re-check `src/lib/utils/remote.ts` in that package and update the mirror if it moved. If it drifts, the remote-browse panels (Source Cooperative, Hugging Face) silently block GeoParquet the engine could now open, or offer an Add that is certain to fail. Updating the constant is enough: the limit the user is shown is rendered from it, not written into the copy. `remote-file-formats.ts` is the **single** home for this and the other format/reader/size rules those panels share — a per-panel copy would miss this check, so add new browse panels against that module rather than duplicating it (`source-coop-api.ts` re-exports it under its own names for compatibility). | ||
| - `MAP_PANEL_SELECTOR` (`apps/geolibre-desktop/src/components/layout/RecordVideoDialog.tsx`) mirrors the **rendered** control class names from `maplibre-gl-components` — `maplibre-gl-html-control`, `maplibre-gl-legend`, `maplibre-gl-colorbar` — so the Record Video "Include map panels" option can rasterize those on-map overlays into the recording. These are the display elements, deliberately **not** the `*-gui-control` authoring editors. The classes are internal and unexported, so whenever `maplibre-gl-components` is bumped (in `packages/plugins/package.json`) — including Dependabot PRs — re-check them against the rendered controls and update the selector if they moved. If a class drifts, the option silently stops burning that panel into the video (or the checkbox never appears) with no build error. | ||
| - `GLOBE_CONTROL_TOGGLE_SELECTOR` (`packages/map/src/globe-control-toggle.ts`) mirrors the class names MapLibre's own `GlobeControl` puts on its toggle button — `maplibregl-ctrl-globe` and `maplibregl-ctrl-globe-enabled`, swapped on every projection change. `MapCanvas` persists a projection change from a **click** on that button rather than from the `projectiontransition` event, because style initialization and project reconciliation emit that event too and a stale one overwrites the projection of a project that has just loaded. The classes are internal and unexported, so whenever `maplibre-gl` is bumped (including Dependabot PRs) run the frontend suite — `tests/globe-control-toggle.test.ts` builds a real `GlobeControl` and fails if the mirror stops matching. Without that check a renamed class silently stops persisting the user's projection, with no build error. | ||
| - `GeoLibreCogRenderEngine` (`packages/plugins/src/types.ts`) mirrors the `RenderEngine` union `maplibre-gl-raster` exports (`maplibre-gl-raster` | `cog-tiler-wasm` | `titiler`). It is hand-written rather than imported because `types.ts` is the public plugin-API surface and importing there would make that package's types a hard dependency of every external plugin. Unlike the mirrors above this one is checked by the **compiler**, not a test: `CogRenderEngineMirrorIsExact` in `packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-raster.ts` asserts both directions of assignability against the real imported type, so a renamed or dropped engine identifier fails `npm run typecheck`. Nothing extra to do on a `maplibre-gl-raster` bump beyond letting the build run; without it a stale identifier would reach `control.setEngine()` as a string the control no longer recognizes, silently leaving the raster unrendered. |

Scope note (low confidence / non-blocking): This GeoLibreCogRenderEngine mirror-documentation line, and the corresponding CogRenderEngineMirrorIsExact type-level assertion added in packages/plugins/src/plugins/maplibre-raster.ts, don't appear related to this PR's stated purpose (dropping the Chrome extension's broad host permissions). The addition itself looks correct and harmless, but if it landed here by accident (e.g. picked up from a rebase or stray commit) it may be worth splitting into its own PR so the Chrome-extension change stays easy to review and revert independently.
