Summary

  • cancel a v3 asset handler's http.Request context when macOS or iOS WebKit calls stopURLSchemeTask
  • key active requests by retained native task identity, with concurrency-safe cleanup and pointer-reuse protection
  • preserve the existing deferred cancellation behavior on Linux and Windows, where the current bridges expose no early native abort callback
  • update the Streams internals status and unreleased changelog

Partially addresses #5963 for macOS/iOS. The issue must remain open for Linux, Windows, and v2 follow-up. Linux and Windows remain explicitly limited by the lack of an early native abort signal in their current custom-scheme bridges.

Tests

  • go test -race ./internal/assetserver/webview ./internal/assetserver
  • go vet ./internal/assetserver/...
  • go test ./internal/assetserver/...
  • go test ./pkg/application (passed on first focused run; a later broader combined run hit the pre-existing/environmental TestX11GlobalShortcutEndToEnd synthesized-key timeout, reproduced in isolation)
  • coderabbit --plain (unsupported by installed CLI); fallback coderabbit review --include-untracked attempted but free OSS review limit was reached

Platform scope

The native cancellation callback is available through WKURLSchemeHandler on macOS and iOS. No corresponding early-abort callback is currently wired or observable in the WebKitGTK or WebView2 bridge, so this PR does not infer cancellation from response errors or simulate it on Linux/Windows.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Apple WebView asset requests now cancel promptly when WebKit stops the corresponding task.
    • Cancelled requests correctly notify ongoing processing and close associated resources exactly once.
    • macOS and iOS request handling is more reliable during interrupted navigation or loading.
  • Documentation

    • Updated platform cancellation guidance: Linux and Windows requests may remain parked until timeout, while connections close promptly.
    • Added a changelog entry for improved macOS and iOS cancellation behavior.

Walkthrough

Apple WebView task stops now cancel matching Go request contexts through native task identity. Request finalizers synchronize cancellation and cleanup. Asset processing uses the request context and suppresses response operations after cancellation. Documentation records Apple support and Linux/Windows limitations.

Changes

Apple WebView cancellation

Layer / File(s) Summary
Request lifecycle and cancellation registry
v3/internal/assetserver/webview/*
Request finalizers track native task identities, expose request contexts, propagate cancellation, clean up registrations, and preserve single-close behavior. Tests cover replacement, cleanup, garbage collection, concurrency, and cancellation.
Native cancellation bridge and handler propagation
v3/pkg/application/*, v3/internal/assetserver/assetserver_webview.go, v3/internal/assetserver/assetserver_webview_test.go
Apple stopURLSchemeTask: callbacks forward task cancellation to Go. Asset processing uses the associated request context and suppresses response operations after cancellation. Tests verify handler cancellation and one request close.
Platform behavior documentation
docs/src/content/docs/guides/advanced/streams-internals.mdx, v3/UNRELEASED_CHANGELOG.md
Documentation describes Apple cancellation and the remaining Linux and Windows timeout behavior. The changelog records the Apple fix.

Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to c5f55

The change adds native cancellation for aborted Apple asset requests while preserving existing behavior on other platforms; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains beyond normal checks and review.

Poem

A rabbit watched the WebView stop,
Then sent cancellation with a hop.
The context closed, the handler knew,
The registry cleaned the request too.
Apple hops; Linux waits.

Follow-up commit 9e466d38e addresses the retained-finalizer review finding. The native request registry now stores an independent {cancel, token} entry, the runtime callback uses obj.close(true), and cleanup deletes only on token identity match. TestNativeRequestFinalizerCleansRegistration verifies an abandoned request becomes collectible, closes once, and leaves no registry entry; existing pointer-reuse and concurrent cancel/close tests remain green. Verification: focused race tests repeated 20 times; go test -race ./internal/assetserver/...; go vet ./internal/assetserver/...; git diff --check; supported plain-text CodeRabbit CLI review with no findings. CodeRabbit has marked the inline thread addressed and resolved.

Follow-up commit 6cc1304 suppresses WebView response callbacks after the request context is cancelled, preventing late didReceiveResponse/didReceiveData/didFinish calls after stopURLSchemeTask. The integration test now has a cancelled handler write more than the sniffer prefix and verifies zero native header, body, or finish calls. Verification: focused native request race tests 20x; cancelled-handler race test 20x; go test -race ./internal/assetserver/...; go vet ./internal/assetserver/...; git diff --check. The required CodeRabbit plain-mode fallback was attempted after the fix but the free OSS quota was exhausted; its pre-fix full-diff run produced this finding.

Material CI evidence from the release-cycle retry:

  • Original attempt failed only the Ubuntu GTK3 leg in untouched pkg/application/internal/tests/services/startupshutdown: GTK reported invalid widget/window/display state before TestServiceStartupShutdown panicked (job).
  • A full workflow rerun on the same head c5f55679a regenerated artifacts and again passed JS, macOS, Windows, GTK4 tests, and both GTK example builds. Its Ubuntu GTK3 leg failed instead in the different untouched services/shutdown package with the identical invalid widget/window/display chain before TestServiceShutdown panicked (fresh job).
  • The Apple-cancellation packages remain locally green: focused native-request race tests 20x, cancellation integration race test 20x, full internal/assetserver/... race suite, assetserver vet, and git diff --check.
  • All review threads are resolved. No Apple-cancellation code defect was identified, so no unrelated GTK3 change was made.
  • coderabbit --plain is unsupported by the installed CLI (plain is now default); coderabbit review --base origin/master reached the service but was blocked by the exhausted three-review free OSS quota.

PR remains blocked only by the reproducible legacy GTK3/Xvfb CI instability.

fix(v3): propagate Windows asset request cancellation

Connect in-process WebView2 request identities to handler contexts, including worker aborts and lifecycle cleanup. Preserve keepalive work across page and worker teardown, bound its registrations, and forward native contexts through the shared application wrapper.

Validate with 66 native Windows production scenarios, Windows and macOS application tests, asset-server race tests, and Windows x64/x86/ARM64 builds. Refs #5963 and #5969.
