Migrates the Claude, Grok, LMArena, Notion and Perplexity web-cookie transports from the tls-client-node/Koffi sidecar to the exactly pinned wreq-js 3.2.0 runtime, keeping the per-provider browser/OS profiles, making request cookies ephemeral, bounding and generation-protecting the shared native transport pool, removing the legacy downloader and repair path, and carrying the native binding and license evidence through the npm, standalone, Electron, Docker and Bun packaging surfaces.
This is the consolidation of the two competing migrations, and the consolidation was decided by evidence rather than by preference. #11753's six suites were installed over this implementation and run as an independent specification: 31 of 36 passed. All five failures are artefacts of #11753 being the older design, not coverage gaps —
- two hardcode the 3.0.0 pin in their assertions (this branch pins 3.2.0, which is what the release tip already resolves; #11753's 3.0.0 would have conflicted);
- one reads open-sse/services/chatgptTlsClient.ts, deleted when #11754 retired ChatGPT Web, so the test is stale against the current tip;
- two import WREQ_JS_NATIVE_BINARY_NAMES / resolveWreqJsNativeBinaryName, which this branch redesigned into WREQ_JS_NATIVE_BINDINGS / resolveWreqJsNativeBinding plus WREQ_JS_VERSION — a rename from modelling natives as file names to modelling them as package bindings, verified as an API difference rather than a lost capability (the linux-x64-gnu .node is present and serviceable).
This branch is also the strict superset by scope: 7 files exclusive to it, including the wreq-js Rust license inventory and notices, .trivyignore, open-sse/utils/tlsClient.ts and assembleStandalone.mjs. #11753 had one exclusive file, its changelog fragment. Nothing needed porting, so #11753 is superseded rather than merged, and the changelog entry credits both.
Reconciled on merge: clean against the tip. The new migration suite (tests/unit/tls-client-wreq-migration.test.ts, 1374 lines, 31 cases) is frozen at its exact LOC with the rationale — it shares one native-transport harness, so splitting it mid-merge would duplicate that harness for no coverage gain. Verified that no existing cap moves.
Verified: 182/182 across the eight TLS, native-manifest, postinstall, standalone-bundle, pack-artifact and provider-validation suites, typecheck:core clean, check:cycles OK, check-changelog-integrity OK, check-file-size OK, and every changed TypeScript file parses.
The desktop release matrix ran the full Next.js standalone build on all four legs (windows, macos-intel, macos-arm64, linux), duplicating the platform-neutral majority of that work four times and re-exposing every leg to the hosted-runner RAM class of failure that took the linux leg out of v3.8.49.
- scripts/build/standaloneTarball.mjs: deterministic, dependency-free tar.gz writer/reader (uid/gid/mtime pinned, sorted entries, symlink + exec-bit preservation; GNU-tar interop covered by tests).
- scripts/build/standaloneManifest.mjs: byte-level manifest of .build/next (sha256 + size + symlink target per entry, plus the archive's own digest) catching artifact-transfer corruption before extraction and re-verifying the restored tree byte-for-byte, smuggling included.
- scripts/build/standaloneBundle.mjs: pack / restore / hydrate CLI over the two modules above.
- scripts/build/hydrateNativeDeps.mjs: swaps install-machine-forked native optionals (@img/sharp-*, @ngrok/ngrok-*, fsevents) from the leg's own npm ci into the restored tree, then verifies the bundled-native closure (koffi triplets, better-sqlite3 prebuilds, wreq-js, onnxruntime with its documented darwin-x64 exemption) services the leg's platform/arch before packaging starts.
- .github/workflows/electron-release.yml: new web-build job builds the standalone once on ubuntu with webpack and uploads the bundle; legs download, restore, and hydrate it, skipping the per-leg build. The legacy per-leg build remains as a rollback path via the ELECTRON_SHARED_STANDALONE workflow_dispatch input, and legs fail closed if web-build ran and failed.
Regression tests cover archive roundtrip, byte determinism, manifest tamper/smuggle detection, forked-native swaps, and native-closure serviceability.
