Log why Chromium browsers die; whitelist librewolf
Thorium was "closing and dying randomly" with no evidence anywhere.
Two independent structural causes, both now fixed:

  1. Crashpad was never enabled -- no crash_reporting consent key and an
     empty crash DB, so no minidump was ever written.
  2. stderr from a dmenu/.desktop launch reaches no terminal and no
     journal. The only Thorium lines ever seen in the journal came from a
     systemd-launched instance, which is why they survived.

browser-preexec-wrapper.sh now gives every Chromium-family launch its own
log under $XDG_STATE_HOME/browser-crash-logs: a VRAM/RAM/kernel/driver
snapshot before start, the browser's stderr, and on exit the exit code,
decoded signal, and a SECOND VRAM snapshot. Those two snapshots plus the
signal are the discriminator between the live hypotheses -- a VRAM death
shows NVRM/NV_ERR_NO_MEMORY or near-full VRAM at exit, a stale-binary
death shows SIGSEGV with the GPU idle. Root cause is deliberately NOT
asserted here; the next crash decides it from evidence.

Three details that are load-bearing rather than incidental:

  - The exit record is written from a signal trap, not inline after
    `wait`. If the wrapper itself is killed, an inline block never runs
    and the log ends mid-stream with no verdict -- indistinguishable
    from a browser that is still running.
  - The browser is a direct redirect, NOT a pipe into a size filter: in
    a pipeline `wait` reports the last element's status, discarding the
    browser's signal, which is the one fact worth capturing.
  - Logs are capped by bytes as well as count. Measured: ~2 MB per 45s
    of navigation (65% VERBOSE1 net/TLS chatter), ~0 while idle. Count
    alone would not bound disk use, and a full disk causes exactly the
    random deaths under investigation.

setup_periodic_system.sh: rewrite Chromium "app mode" .desktop entries
(Exec=/opt/<browser>/...) to go through /usr/local/bin. These are
auto-generated and bypass the wrapper entirely, so neither the flags file
nor the logging applied to them -- five Thorium entries were found still
launching without the --disable-gpu-compositing mitigation added on
2026-07-25, two weeks after the fact. Runs on every install because
Chromium regenerates the files.

pacman_whitelist.txt: allow the exact package name `librewolf`. The
`librewolf` keyword stays blocked, as do all other Firefox forks. It is
LeechBlock-enforced via /etc/librewolf/policies (force_installed), so
this is not an unfiltered escape hatch; it is needed because Chromium's
MV2 sunset ends full uBlock Origin with all filter lists, which the Gecko
build keeps.

Verified: shellcheck clean, no lint suppressions; fake-browser SIGSEGV
and wrapper-SIGTERM both produce a verdict; trim watchdog bounds a
runaway log; kill -SEGV on the real /opt/thorium-browser/thorium wrote
"exit code: 139 / died on signal: 11 (SEGV)"; librewolf installs and
loads with uBO + LeechBlock active.

testsAndMisc

A collection of personal projects, scripts, and experiments — from a GPS-based phone focus tool to Linux/Arch automation, with CI, linting, and pre-commit hooks across the board.

Highlights

Phone Focus Mode

Location-based app restriction for rooted Android. Automatically disables non-whitelisted apps within 500 m of home using ADB + Magisk. Features Haversine distance calculation, hysteresis to prevent toggling, fail-safe unlock, and state persistence. Bash, Android ADB.

Linux Configuration

Automated Arch Linux setup: fresh-install scripts, i3 window manager config, LaTeX environment, and system tests. Includes documentation and test result logging.

Scripts

Utility scripts for development workflows — build file validation, secret detection, and custom makepkg helpers.

Archived / unmaintained projects live in the sibling repository testsAndMisc-archive.

Tooling

  • Python linting: Ruff with all rules enabled (see meta/pyproject.toml)
  • Dependencies: pip install -r meta/requirements.txt (combined runtime + dev)
  • CI: GitHub Actions — lint, build, and test on push
  • Testing: pytest (Python), custom shell-based test harness for scripts
