feat(desktop): unload hidden browser panes by memory budget, keeping pages Chrome would keep - #9498
Replaces the fixed hidden-webview caps (3 user, 6 agent) with a memory budget. Each group may use up to 6% of system RAM, so a 128 GB machine keeps many hidden pages and an 8 GB machine keeps few.
Like Chrome's tab discarding, a page is never unloaded while it plays audio, holds unsaved form input, or has an agent attached.
Agent pages nobody has used for 30 minutes are unloaded even under budget.
Why / Context
#9497 made unloading safe for agents, because the next command rebuilds the page. But each rebuild still loses in-page state, so the policy should unload rarely and choose well. A fixed count does neither: it ignores how much RAM the machine has and how much each page uses. Chrome does not cap tabs. It unloads background tabs under memory pressure, oldest first, and skips tabs whose state would be lost.
How It Works
selectWebviewsToUnload is a pure function. It works on one group's hidden pages, oldest first.
It unloads idle pages, then the oldest pages until the rest fit the budget and the count is at most 20.
It always keeps the newest 3. Kept pages still count toward the budget.
browser.getUnloadInfo (desktop main) returns, for each pane:
Its memory: the guest process's workingSetSize from app.getAppMetrics(), split between the panes when a process serves several.
Whether it plays audio: isCurrentlyAudible().
Whether it holds unsaved form input: a changed field, checked in an isolated world with a 500 ms timeout.
It also returns the total system RAM.
The registry sweep is now async. It runs on the same triggers as before and also once a minute. It skips a page that was shown or used while the query was in flight. If main does not answer, the budget is unlimited, and the count limit and idle rule still apply.
lastUsedAt is now a time in ms (kept strictly increasing) instead of a counter, so the idle rule can work.

Manual QA
Dev app on a 128 GB machine (budget 7.7 GB per group), driven with the CLI:
getUnloadInfo reports the real memory of each guest process (about 93 MB per test page, each in its own process).
Page 1 got a half-typed input and page 2 played audio, then the agents opened 12 more pages (24 in total). 20 stay loaded. Pages 3–6 are unloaded, and pages 1 and 2 stay loaded.
A command on unloaded page 3 rebuilds it, and page 7 is unloaded in its place. Page 1 still holds "half-typed".
In-app CDP suite (11/11, no renderer errors)
4 hidden user tabs (opened through the UI) and 12 hidden agent pages all stay loaded.
Past 20 agent pages, pages 4–7 are unloaded. The form page, the audio page and the page with a live CDP session stay loaded, and the user's 4 pages are untouched. The form still holds its typed value.
Idle rule: I set one agent page and one user page to 31 minutes since last use over CDP. The periodic sweep unloads the agent page within 60 s, and the user page stays.
Budget limit: I wrapped getUnloadInfo over CDP to report a 5 GB machine (a budget of about 307 MB per group). Agent pages drop to the 3 protected plus the newest 3, and user pages to the newest 3.
An unloaded page still rebuilds on the next command.

New tests:
selectWebviewsToUnload.test.ts: under budget nothing is unloaded; the oldest go first but never the newest 3; kept pages count toward the budget; idle pages go even under budget.
browserRuntimeRegistry.test.ts: pages an agent drives, that play audio, or hold unsaved input stay loaded over budget; agent pages have their own budget and agent use keeps a page; a page shown while the sweep waits on main stays loaded.
Design Decisions
Each group gets its own budget. One shared budget would let agents in other workspaces unload the user's pages again.
Unsaved input is checked in an isolated world. The page's own scripts cannot see the check or change its result.
Memory comes from getAppMetrics, not OS memory-pressure events. Electron does not expose Chromium's memory-pressure signal.
Review fixes
Unsaved input: the check now records trusted edits in an isolated world instead of comparing values with their defaults. An untouched <select> or range/color input, or a field already saved in place, no longer pins a page. contenteditable editors are covered too. Checked in the app with real typing (8/8): untouched controls are not protected; typing, a slider move and an editor edit are; a submit or a navigation clears the flag; a value set by script does not count.
Newest pages: the newest 3 pages kept over budget now include protected ones.
Stuck sweep: the sweep stops waiting on main after 5 s and logs the failure.
Memory counts only each page's main guest process. Out-of-process iframes are not counted.
A page whose save goes through fetch with no form submit stays protected until it navigates.
Summary by cubic
Replaces the fixed caps on hidden browser panes (3 user, 6 agent) with a memory budget: each group may keep hidden pages totaling up to 6% of system RAM, so a large machine keeps many pages and a small one keeps few.
Pages are never unloaded while they play audio, hold unsaved form input, or have an agent attached; agent pages idle for 30 minutes go even under budget.
The newest 3 pages always stay (protected pages count toward those), and no group keeps more than 20 pages.
Unsaved input is tracked by recording real edits in an isolated world, so untouched selects and range inputs don't block unloading; a submit clears the record.
Memory comes from app.getAppMetrics(). Sweeps run on the previous triggers plus once a minute; a page shown or used while the query is in flight is skipped.
If main doesn't answer within 5 seconds, the sweep gives up and only the count and idle rules apply.
Also changes queued CDP message balancing to count bytes, not UTF-16 code units, so non-ASCII frames can't exceed the limit unnoticed.
Written for commit 6486a5a. Summary will update on new commits.
Summary by CodeRabbit
New Features
Browser panes now unload based on memory use and inactivity rather than fixed count caps. Active agent panes, audible pages, pages with unsaved input, and recently used or visible panes are protected.
Unloading considers ordinary and agent panes separately, with safeguards to keep a minimum number of pages loaded.
Bug Fixes
Browser message-size limits now account for UTF-8 bytes, improving handling of non-ASCII content.
The browser pane registry now selects hidden panes for unloading based on memory, page count, idle time, and pane activity. The browser manager supplies unload information through a new query. The CDP backlog now counts queued messages by UTF-8 byte length.
Changes: Browser Pane Eviction
Layer / File(s)
Summary
Pane unload information apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-manager.ts, apps/desktop/src/lib/trpc/routers/browser/browser.ts
The browser manager reports system memory and per-pane memory, audibility, and unsaved-input status. It tracks form edits in an isolated world and cleans up tracking listeners during pane lifecycle changes. The browser router exposes getUnloadInfo.
The selector chooses hidden panes oldest first based on memory budget, loaded-page limits, and idle thresholds. Protected panes remain loaded and count toward memory and retained-page limits. Tests cover the selection rules.
Registry sweep and validation apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/BrowserPane/browserRuntimeRegistry.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/routes/_authenticated/_dashboard/v2-workspace/$workspaceId/hooks/usePaneRegistry/components/BrowserPane/browserRuntimeRegistry.test.ts, apps/desktop/src/renderer/lib/terminal/terminal-runtime-eviction.ts
The registry periodically requests unload information and evaluates ordinary and agent panes separately. It rechecks visibility and usage before destroying selected panes, and coalesces overlapping sweeps. Tests cover protected panes and changes while the query is pending. The terminal eviction module comment no longer describes browser pane eviction as a use of its policy.

Review verdict: minor issues. Structure is sound and CI is green, but the unsaved-input check keeps pages nobody typed in, and the pages it keeps are not limited by the 20-page cap.
apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-manager.ts:59-64: HAS_UNSAVED_INPUT_SCRIPT returns true on untouched pages. A <select> with no selected attribute has its first option selected but defaultSelected false. range/color inputs have value "50"/"#000000" but defaultValue "". I reproduced this in the running app: a page with only a sort dropdown reported unsavedInput: true and stayed loaded over budget, while a newer plain page was unloaded. Fix: track trusted input/change events, or snapshot values at load.
.../utils/selectWebviewsToUnload/selectWebviewsToUnload.ts:24-27: kept pages are never selected, so maxLoaded and the budget do not bound them. Combined with the false positives above, most real sites become un-unloadable.
apps/desktop/src/main/lib/browser/browser-manager.ts:843-847: getUnloadInfo sits between the JSDoc comment and getAgentActivePaneIds, so that comment now documents the wrong method.
Nit: the per-minute sweep runs a script in every hidden guest.
…pages Chrome would keep
The fixed caps of 3 user and 6 agent hidden webviews became a policy close to
Chrome's tab discarding:
- Each group (user, agent) may keep hidden pages up to 6% of system RAM,
measured with app.getAppMetrics(). The newest 3 always stay, and a group
never keeps more than 20.
- Agent pages that nobody has used for 30 minutes are unloaded even under
budget.
- Pages are never unloaded while an agent drives them, while they play audio,
or while they hold unsaved form input (checked in an isolated world).
- A sweep also runs every minute, so pages that grow or go idle get noticed.
The policy is the pure selectWebviewsToUnload. The registry gets each page's
memory and protections from main through browser.getUnloadInfo, and skips a
page shown or used while that query was in flight.
Review found that comparing field values with their defaults flagged pages
nobody typed in: an untouched <select>, range and color inputs, and fields
already saved in place. Those pages were then never unloaded. A script in an
isolated world now records trusted input and change events on form fields and
contenteditable editors, and a submit clears the record. It is installed again
on each dom-ready.
Also:
- The newest few pages kept over budget now include protected pages.
- The sweep stops waiting on main after 5 s and logs the failure, so a main
that never answers cannot stop all later sweeps.
- getAgentActivePaneIds has its doc comment back.
- Tests cover the page limit, protection over idle, and agent use during a
sweep.
Touch four panes in the same pool and assert that all four stay loaded. The current test touches only p1, so the newest-three rule keeps it without testing the usage recheck. With four touches, the current sweep can select the earliest touched pane because it reads candidate timestamps after the query.

- Around line 150-157: Update the sweep test using `beforeUnloadInfo` and
`registryInternals.touch` to touch four panes in the same pool while the query
is in progress, then assert that all four touched panes remain loaded. Ensure
the setup exercises the usage recheck rather than relying only on the
newest-three rule.

Protect edits inside shadow roots from eviction.
When a user edits a control inside a shadow root, the document listener can see the host as event.target and miss the edit. If the hidden pane is then evicted, unsaved content can be lost. Track edits inside shadow roots, including closed roots.

Update the dirty-state tracking that sets state.dirty so trusted edits within
shadow roots are detected even when event.target is retargeted to the host;
ensure the observation mechanism covers closed roots without relying on
traversing them from the document listener.

Keep unsaved edits protected after a failed submission.
If a page cancels a submission and its asynchronous save fails, this listener still clears the dirty flag. A later eviction can discard the unsaved edits. Keep the page protected until the save is confirmed or navigation replaces the document.

Follows #9497 (merged). Rebased onto
main.Summary
Why / Context
#9497 made unloading safe for agents, because the next command rebuilds the page. But each rebuild still loses in-page state, so the policy should unload rarely and choose well. A fixed count does neither: it ignores how much RAM the machine has and how much each page uses. Chrome does not cap tabs. It unloads background tabs under memory pressure, oldest first, and skips tabs whose state would be lost.
How It Works
selectWebviewsToUnloadis a pure function. It works on one group's hidden pages, oldest first.browser.getUnloadInfo(desktop main) returns, for each pane:workingSetSizefromapp.getAppMetrics(), split between the panes when a process serves several.isCurrentlyAudible().lastUsedAtis now a time in ms (kept strictly increasing) instead of a counter, so the idle rule can work.Manual QA
Dev app on a 128 GB machine (budget 7.7 GB per group), driven with the CLI:
getUnloadInforeports the real memory of each guest process (about 93 MB per test page, each in its own process).In-app CDP suite (11/11, no renderer errors)
getUnloadInfoover CDP to report a 5 GB machine (a budget of about 307 MB per group). Agent pages drop to the 3 protected plus the newest 3, and user pages to the newest 3.Testing
bun run typecheck(apps/desktop)bunx biome checkon the changed filesbun test src/main/lib/browser src/main/lib/pane-layout src/renderer/routes/_authenticated src/renderer/lib/terminal: 6788 passselectWebviewsToUnload.test.ts: under budget nothing is unloaded; the oldest go first but never the newest 3; kept pages count toward the budget; idle pages go even under budget.browserRuntimeRegistry.test.ts: pages an agent drives, that play audio, or hold unsaved input stay loaded over budget; agent pages have their own budget and agent use keeps a page; a page shown while the sweep waits on main stays loaded.Design Decisions
getAppMetrics, not OS memory-pressure events. Electron does not expose Chromium's memory-pressure signal.Review fixes
<select>orrange/colorinput, or a field already saved in place, no longer pins a page.contenteditableeditors are covered too. Checked in the app with real typing (8/8): untouched controls are not protected; typing, a slider move and an editor edit are; a submit or a navigation clears the flag; a value set by script does not count.Known Limitations
fetchwith no form submit stays protected until it navigates.Summary by cubic
Replaces the fixed caps on hidden browser panes (3 user, 6 agent) with a memory budget: each group may keep hidden pages totaling up to 6% of system RAM, so a large machine keeps many pages and a small one keeps few.
