fix(chrome): find map services without broad host permissions - #1998
Conversation
The Chrome Web Store flags `http://*/*` and `https://*/*` for in-depth review, and those existed only so `webRequest` could watch map requests. The popup now reads each frame's Resource Timing buffer under activeTab instead, leaving the extension with activeTab and scripting alone. MapLibre fetches vector tiles from a worker, which that buffer never records, so such a tileset is recovered from the TileJSON or style the main thread did fetch; GeoLibre now accepts a vector tiles deep link carrying only a style.

- Assert at compile time that GeoLibreCogRenderEngine still matches the RenderEngine union it hand-mirrors from maplibre-gl-raster. types.ts is the public plugin API and must not hard-depend on that package's types, so the check lives next to the real import and fails typecheck on drift rather than letting a stale identifier reach control.setEngine(). - Record the mirror in CLAUDE.md alongside the others it documents.

- Reserve room under MAX_SERVICE_CANDIDATES for the style fallbacks: a page varied enough to fill the cap is mostly repeating layers of a few endpoints, while a fallback is the only trace its origin leaves at all. - Recognize the singular `tile.json` alongside `tiles.json` and `tilejson.json`, with a regression test over all three spellings. - Document in the README what the TileJSON sniff does not reach (a server that names its metadata otherwise, and a raster TileJSON, which cannot be told apart without reading a body this design cannot fetch).

- Offer a style as a candidate of its own only when its path names it a map style (`…/style.json`, `…/styles.json`, an ArcGIS `…/resources/styles/<name> .json`). The looser `…/styles/<name>.json` is an ordinary theme route too, so a style matched that way still explains a tileset at its origin but no longer surfaces on its own, where a page's theme file would appear as a layer. - State the raster-TileJSON failure precisely in the README: Add Data resolves the document on submit and refuses it when no source layers come out, rather than every selection opening on an empty dialog.

- Keep a self-naming style over a generic one from the same origin. 6555235 made the fallback depend on that flag, but the map kept only the last style seen per origin, so a theme file fetched after `/style.json` stranded a worker-only tileset and handed an existing one the wrong style document. A test covers both request orders and fails without the fix.

- Document that `activeTab` does not reach cross-origin frames. Chrome grants the tab's main frame origin only and deliberately withholds that grant from a frame of another origin, so `allFrames: true` covers the top frame and its same-origin frames. The README described the scan as reading "each frame" and claimed the MapLibre row "covers services a page reaches only through an embedded frame", which over-claimed: that example's iframe is `src= "../display-a-map.html"`, same-origin with the docs page, so the live test never exercised a cross-origin frame. Added a third bullet to the buffer consequences, narrowed the two summary sentences and the table row, and recorded the boundary next to the `allFrames` call in popup.mjs. No code change: reaching such a frame needs standing host permission, which is exactly what this PR removes, so the limit is documented, not worked around.
Summary
http://*/*andhttps://*/*so its background service worker could watch map requests withwebRequest. The Chrome Web Store flags that as a broad host permission and routes the submission to an in-depth review. The popup now reads each frame's Resource Timing buffer underactiveTabwhen the user clicks the icon, so the manifest is down toactiveTabandscripting, with no service worker, no storage, and no standing access to any site.serviceUrlParameternow accepts anadd=ogc-vector-tileslink carrying onlyserviceStyle, since GeoLibre resolves the tiles and source layers from that document.background.mjsalong with the per-tab task queue and navigation-generation bookkeeping that existed only to keep one page's in-flight requests out of the next page's list. A timing buffer belongs to its own document, so that problem no longer arises.Test plan

The Resource Timing buffer holds 250 entries per document and stops recording once full, so a very busy page can lose a service added late. Raising that needs a
document_startscript, which needs back the host permissions this change removes, so the cap is accepted and documented.Summary by CodeRabbit
