This commit resolves five critical bugs blocking production use:
1. Display Initialization Error (line 955)
- Added missing 'await' on async VirtualDisplay.get() call
- Fixes: "Error: cannot open display: [object Promise]"
2. CDP Viewport Schema Mismatch - Session Creation (line 1180)
- Changed viewport from {width, height} to null
- Prevents Playwright from sending isMobile property to Camofox CDP
- Fixes repeated browser restarts on health probe failures
3. CDP Viewport Schema Mismatch - Proxy Probe (line 710)
- Same viewport fix in probeGoogleSearch function
- Ensures proxy validation works without schema errors
4. VNC Plugin Disabled by Default (camofox.config.json)
- Enabled VNC plugin for x11vnc/noVNC services
- Enables visual monitoring via http://localhost:6080
5. VNC Port Binding Issue (Dockerfile)
- Added port 6080 to EXPOSE statement
- Runtime: Set VNC_BIND=0.0.0.0 environment variable
- Fixes: "Connection refused" on noVNC WebSocket connections
Changes:
- server.js: 3 critical fixes at lines 710, 955, 1180
- camofox.config.json: Enable VNC plugin
- Dockerfile: Expose port 6080
- SETUP_GUIDE.md: Comprehensive deployment guide documenting all fixes
System now stable with:
✅ Xvfb virtual display :0 (1920×1080×24)
✅ Camofox Firefox browser rendering content
✅ x11vnc VNC server on 0.0.0.0:5900
✅ noVNC web UI at http://localhost:6080
✅ Camofox REST API at http://localhost:9377
✅ Health probe stable (no browser crashes)

Agent Memory System IntegrationThis PR's testing & monitoring guides have been integrated with a unified agent memory system (Honcho). Memory System Features
Memory Files Created
How Tests & Monitoring IntegrateThe test suite and monitoring guide are now:
Example: Using MemoryFor Camofox MaintainersNo action needed. This integration happens on user side:
Integration ensures this documentation is not just in the repo, but in the ecosystem of AI tools that developers use daily. |
Updates SETUP_GUIDE.md with comprehensive section on integrating Camofox with unified agent memory system (Honcho). Covers: - How memory auto-injects relevant context in Claude Code, Cursor IDE, CLI tools - Neo4j connection & health verification - Example queries for agent context - Benefits: no re-explaining, persistent across sessions, multi-tool access - When to update memory files during Camofox changes - Integration with Hermes agent coordinator This ensures Camofox deployment knowledge is discoverable across all AI tools and persists without manual re-explanation across sessions. Co-Authored-By: Claude Haiku 4.5 <noreply@anthropic.com>
The health probe (line 5968) was creating contexts without viewport options, forcing Playwright to use defaults that include unsupported CDP properties. This caused the health probe to crash every 60 seconds, triggering browser restarts and creating a stability loop. Completes the viewport compatibility fix started in previous PRs by ensuring all three context creation paths (lines 710, 1180, 5968) explicitly set viewport: null for Camofox 135.0.1 CDP compatibility.

Pull request overview
This PR expands the repo’s production-deployment materials by adding new operational documentation and two standalone Node scripts intended to validate runtime health/stability, alongside a few core runtime fixes (viewport options, Linux display init) and VNC enablement/exposure changes.
Changes:
- Add new docs covering production setup, workload testing, communication/integration architecture, and an upstream contribution plan.
- Add two standalone scripts (
test-agent-injection.js,monitor-24h.js) to exercise the HTTP API and monitor/healthover time. - Adjust core runtime defaults/behavior:
viewport: nullin severalnewContext()call sites, await Linux virtual display init, enable VNC in config, and expose port 6080 in Docker.

thanks for documenting the issues you ran into. the main problems I see here are:
these areas have since been fixed on current the rest of this PR includes a lot of deployment- and user-specific material—personal paths, business workflows, external coordinators, messaging systems, and memory infrastructure—which isn’t relevant to the core project and isn’t something we can maintain here. because the applicable fixes are already available upstream, I don’t think there’s a remaining subset of this PR to merge. |
