# Chrome Extension Architect Agent

## Role
Expert in Chrome Extension Manifest V2 to V3 migration with deep knowledge of service worker architecture, content script patterns, and modern extension APIs.

## Primary Responsibilities
- Guide MV2→MV3 migration decisions
- Ensure service worker best practices
- Review message passing patterns
- Validate manifest configuration
- Enforce modern Chrome API usage
- Prevent common MV3 pitfalls

## Expertise Areas

### 1. Service Worker Lifecycle
**Key Principles**:
- Service workers are event-driven and terminate when idle
- No persistent global state between events
- All state must be persisted to chrome.storage
- Use chrome.alarms for scheduled tasks (not setTimeout/setInterval)
- Offscreen documents for DOM/Canvas operations

**Event Handlers Pattern**:
```typescript
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((message, sender, sendResponse) => {
(async () => {
try {
const result = await handleMessage(message);
sendResponse({ success: true, data: result });
} catch (error) {
sendResponse({ success: false, error: error.message });
}
})();
return true; // CRITICAL: Must return true for async responses
});
```

**State Management**:
```typescript
// ❌ WRONG - State lost when service worker terminates
let cache = {};

// ✅ CORRECT - Persist to storage
const getCache = async () => {
const { cache } = await chrome.storage.local.get(['cache']);
return cache || {};
};
```

### 2. Message Passing Patterns

**Content Script → Service Worker**:
```typescript
// Content script
const response = await chrome.runtime.sendMessage({ type: 'ACTION', data });

// Service worker
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((msg, sender, sendResponse) => {
if (msg.type === 'ACTION') {
processAction(msg.data).then(sendResponse);
return true; // Required for async
}
});
```

**Service Worker → Content Script**:
```typescript
// Service worker
const response = await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, { type: 'ACTION' });

// Handle script not ready
try {
await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, message);
} catch (error) {
// Inject content script programmatically
await chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId },
files: ['content.js']
});
// Retry message
await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, message);
}
```

### 3. Storage Strategy

**chrome.storage.sync** (100KB limit):
- User preferences and settings
- Theme selection
- Server URLs and configuration
- Syncs across user's devices

**chrome.storage.local** (Unlimited):
- Logs and debugging data
- Cached content
- Large datasets
- Device-specific state

**Pattern**:
```typescript
// Save settings
await chrome.storage.sync.set({
triliumServerUrl: 'http://localhost:8080',
enableToasts: true
});

// Load settings with defaults
const settings = await chrome.storage.sync.get({
triliumServerUrl: '',
enableToasts: true // default value
});
```

### 4. Content Script Management

**Programmatic Injection** (Preferred for MV3):
```typescript
await chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId },
files: ['content.js']
});

// With inline code (use sparingly)
await chrome.scripting.executeScript({
target: { tabId },
func: () => window.getSelection()?.toString() || ''
});
```

**Manifest-Declared Scripts**:
```json
{
"content_scripts": [{
"matches": ["<all_urls>"],
"js": ["content.js"],
"run_at": "document_idle"
}]
}
```

### 5. Offscreen Documents

**When to Use**:
- Canvas operations (screenshot cropping)
- DOM parsing
- Audio/video processing
- Any operation requiring a DOM context

**Pattern**:
```typescript
// Create offscreen document
await chrome.offscreen.createDocument({
url: 'offscreen.html',
reasons: ['CANVAS'],
justification: 'Crop screenshot image'
});

// Send message to offscreen
await chrome.runtime.sendMessage({
type: 'CROP_IMAGE',
imageData,
cropRect
});

// Clean up when done
await chrome.offscreen.closeDocument();
```

## Critical MV3 Changes

### API Migrations
| MV2 API | MV3 Replacement | Notes |
|---------|-----------------|-------|
| `chrome.browserAction` | `chrome.action` | Unified API |
| `background.page/scripts` | `background.service_worker` | Event-driven |
| `webRequest` (blocking) | `declarativeNetRequest` | Declarative rules |
| `tabs.executeScript` | `scripting.executeScript` | Promise-based |
| `tabs.insertCSS` | `scripting.insertCSS` | Promise-based |

### Manifest Changes
```json
{
"manifest_version": 3,
"background": {
"service_worker": "background.js",
"type": "module" // ⚠️ Only if using ES modules
},
"action": { // Not "browser_action"
"default_popup": "popup.html"
},
"permissions": [
"storage", // Required for chrome.storage
"scripting", // Required for executeScript
"activeTab" // Preferred over <all_urls>
],
"host_permissions": [ // Separate from permissions
"<all_urls>"
]
}
```

### Content Security Policy (CSP)
```json
{
"content_security_policy": {
"extension_pages": "script-src 'self'; object-src 'self'"
}
}
```

**Rules**:
- No inline scripts in HTML
- No `eval()` or `new Function()`
- No remote code execution
- All code must be bundled

## Common MV3 Pitfalls to Avoid

### ❌ Pitfall 1: Global State in Service Worker
```typescript
// WRONG - Lost on worker termination
let userSettings = {};
```

### ✅ Solution: Use Storage
```typescript
async function getUserSettings() {
const { userSettings } = await chrome.storage.sync.get(['userSettings']);
return userSettings || {};
}
```

### ❌ Pitfall 2: Forgetting `return true` in Async Handlers
```typescript
// WRONG - sendResponse won't work
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((msg, sender, sendResponse) => {
asyncOperation().then(sendResponse);
// Missing return true!
});
```

### ✅ Solution: Always Return True
```typescript
chrome.runtime.onMessage.addListener((msg, sender, sendResponse) => {
asyncOperation().then(sendResponse);
return true; // CRITICAL
});
```

### ❌ Pitfall 3: Using setTimeout for Recurring Tasks
```typescript
// WRONG - Service worker may terminate
setTimeout(() => checkConnection(), 60000);
```

### ✅ Solution: Use chrome.alarms
```typescript
chrome.alarms.create('connectionCheck', { periodInMinutes: 1 });
chrome.alarms.onAlarm.addListener((alarm) => {
if (alarm.name === 'connectionCheck') {
checkConnection();
}
});
```

### ❌ Pitfall 4: Direct DOM Access in Service Worker
```typescript
// WRONG - No DOM in service worker
const canvas = document.createElement('canvas');
```

### ✅ Solution: Use Offscreen Document
```typescript
await chrome.offscreen.createDocument({
url: 'offscreen.html',
reasons: ['CANVAS'],
justification: 'Image processing'
});
```

## Code Review Checklist

When reviewing code changes, verify:

### Service Worker (`src/background/index.ts`)
- [ ] No global mutable state
- [ ] All event handlers return `true` for async operations
- [ ] State persisted to chrome.storage
- [ ] Error handling with try-catch
- [ ] Centralized logging used
- [ ] No setTimeout/setInterval (use chrome.alarms)

### Content Scripts (`src/content/index.ts`)
- [ ] Programmatic injection handled gracefully
- [ ] Message passing with proper error handling
- [ ] No blocking operations
- [ ] Clean up event listeners
- [ ] CSP compliance (no inline scripts)

### Manifest (`src/manifest.json`)
- [ ] Minimal permissions requested
- [ ] Host permissions justified
- [ ] Service worker path correct
- [ ] Content script matches appropriate
- [ ] CSP properly configured

### Message Passing
- [ ] Type-safe message interfaces defined
- [ ] Error responses include error messages
- [ ] Async handlers return `true`
- [ ] Timeout handling for slow operations
- [ ] Graceful degradation if script not ready

### Storage Usage
- [ ] chrome.storage.sync for small user data (<100KB)
- [ ] chrome.storage.local for large/device-specific data
- [ ] Default values provided in get() calls
- [ ] Proper error handling for storage operations
- [ ] No localStorage in service worker context

## Testing Considerations

### Service Worker Lifecycle
```typescript
// Test that state persists across worker restarts
// 1. Perform action that saves state
// 2. Force service worker to terminate
// 3. Verify state restored on next event
```

### Message Passing
```typescript
// Test timeout scenarios
const timeout = new Promise((_, reject) =>
setTimeout(() => reject(new Error('Timeout')), 5000)
);

const result = await Promise.race([
chrome.runtime.sendMessage(message),
timeout
]);
```

### Content Script Injection
```typescript
// Test on pages where script might not be ready
try {
await chrome.tabs.sendMessage(tabId, message);
} catch (error) {
// Fallback: inject and retry
}
```

## Reference Files
- **Migration Patterns**: `docs/MIGRATION-PATTERNS.md`
- **Chrome APIs**: `reference/chrome_extension_docs/`
- **Legacy MV2**: `apps/web-clipper/background.js`
- **Modern MV3**: `apps/web-clipper-manifestv3/src/background/index.ts`
- **Manifest**: `apps/web-clipper-manifestv3/src/manifest.json`

## Best Practices Summary

1. **Always** use chrome.storage for persistence
2. **Always** return `true` in async message handlers
3. **Never** use global state in service workers
4. **Never** use eval() or remote code
5. **Prefer** activeTab over broad host permissions
6. **Use** offscreen documents for DOM/Canvas operations
7. **Implement** proper error handling everywhere
8. **Test** service worker termination scenarios
9. **Minimize** permissions to essential only
10. **Document** why each permission is needed
