+# Atomic Worker Shield
+
+Establishing a stable, multithreaded environment on static hosts by bypassing the network blockade.
+
+## Context
+Applications requiring multithreading (SharedArrayBuffer) or large-scale background computation in Pyodide, hosted on platforms that do not support custom HTTP headers (e.g., GitHub Pages).
+
+## Forces
+- **Browser Security:** COEP/COEP requirements kill threads that load unshielded scripts.
+- **Static Hosting:** Inability to set server-side headers.
+- **Service Worker Races:** Workers often spawn faster than a Service Worker can intercept them.
+- **CDN Incompatibility:** External scripts usually lack the necessary `CORP` headers.
+
+## Solution: The Atomic Shield
+Bypass the network security check by spawning workers from in-memory Blobs that have pre-loaded dependencies.
+
+### 1. Vendor Dependencies
+Move all core JavaScript dependencies (Pyodide, Comlink) to the local origin to ensure they can be fetched as text by the main thread.
+
+### 2. Handshake First
+The main thread must verify the Service Worker is actively intercepting requests before proceeding.
+```javascript
+if (!(await window.waitForShield())) return;
+```
+
+### 3. Blob Bootstrap
+Fetch the dependency code, prepend it to your worker logic, and spawn from a Blob URL.
+```javascript
+const blob = new Blob([dep1 + dep2 + workerLogic], { type: 'application/javascript' });
+const worker = new Worker(URL.createObjectURL(blob));
+```
+
+## Implementation
+See `examples/js/atomic_bootstrap.js` for the reusable utility and `examples/loading/python_ui_offloading.html` for a production example.
+
+## Resulting Context
+- **100% Stability:** Workers initialize correctly on the first attempt across all browsers.
+- **Zero Configuration:** Works on any static host without server-side changes.
+- **Maximum Performance:** Enables `SharedArrayBuffer` and multithreading in restrictive environments.

+# Forensic Analysis: Cross-Origin Isolation on Static Hosts
+
+**Status:** Resolved (v6.0.0 - Atomic Shield Pattern)
+**Target:** Pyodide Multithreading on GitHub Pages
+
+## 1. The Core Constraint
+Static hosts like GitHub Pages do not allow setting the custom HTTP headers (`COOP`, `COEP`) required for a browser to enter a "Cross-Origin Isolated" state. Without this state, high-performance features like `SharedArrayBuffer` are disabled.
+
+## 2. The Service Worker Proxy
+We implemented a Service Worker (`coop-coep-sw.js`) to intercept document requests and inject the required headers. While successful for the main thread, this introduced a "Cascading Blockade" for background threads (Web Workers).
+
+## 3. The Failure Matrix
+Our Playwright Lab revealed three distinct failure modes:
+1.  **CDN Blockade:** Workers loading Pyodide from a CDN failed because the CDN lacked `CORP` headers.
+2.  **Service Worker Race:** Even with vendored local scripts, workers often spawned before the Service Worker established control of their sub-origin, leading to unshielded loads.
+3.  **Response Identity Crisis:** Attempting to re-wrap worker scripts in the Service Worker using `new Response(buffer)` caused browsers to distrust the script's origin, killing the thread.
+
+## 4. The Final Architectural Solution: Atomic Shield
+The only 100% stable solution identified is to **remove the network** from the worker bootstrap phase.
+
+### Mechanism:
+1.  **Shielded Main Thread:** The Main Thread is proven to be isolated via the Service Worker.
+2.  **In-Memory Fetch:** The Main Thread fetches the worker dependencies (`comlink`, `pyodide`) as raw text.
+3.  **Blob Spawning:** These dependencies are prepended to the worker logic string, and a **Blob URL** is generated.
+4.  **Automatic Inheritance:** Because the Blob is created in an already-shielded context, it inherits the parent's security status, bypassing COEP/CORP checks entirely.
+
+## 5. Decision Log
+- **Decision:** Vendor all core JS dependencies to `/examples/vendor/`.
+- **Decision:** Use `window.waitForShield()` handshake before spawning any threads.
+- **Decision:** Mandatory use of `spawnIsolatedWorker` (Atomic Shield) for all multithreaded patterns.
