fix(server): a busy embedded frame no longer holds copy keys back - #34204
Item 1 holds and is fixed. At 8ce3250, takeCopy(since) removed the oldest entry at or after since in every frame, and the server kept the first non-empty result. A read delayed by a busy frame therefore also consumed a later shortcut's entry in another frame and dropped it. Now each copy/cut key has a closed millisecond window. since is Date.now() just before Input.dispatchKeyEvent, and until is Date.now() after it resolves; the keydown and the copy/cut event run before that acknowledgement. ServerTab.copyKeyedUntil records the last until, and the next copy key waits (at most 1 ms, via the existing sleepUntil) until Date.now() > copyKeyedUntil, so windows never share a millisecond. takeCopy(since, until) drops entries older than since (stale) and takes the oldest remaining entry only if its time is <= until, so an entry can match only the key that made it, whatever frame it is in. Reads still run one at a time per tab in key order, outside the input queue, so later keys and clicks are not held by a busy frame and the earlier double-cut fix stays. Checked in real Chromium (playwright-core, two recorder pages standing in for main page and responsive frame): cut 'main first', cut 'main second', cut 'frame third'; the reads for windows 1-3 returned ["main first","main second","frame third"]. The cross-frame case is not in the unit tests: the matching is in the injected browser script, which the mocked CDP tests cannot run. The full scenarios:prove run was not re-run. No new regex or parser in product code.
On origin/main c82e1ba, I started the dev server on a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev), paired the web client in the preview browser and opened a Browser panel (server-runtime tab) in a thread. The tab loaded a local page on http://127.0.0.1:47101/ with a focused, selected text input and an iframe from http://localhost:47102/frame, served with Origin-Agent-Cluster: ?1. On postMessage the iframe busy-waits for 3000 ms. The page beacons every keydown, with its time, to the test server, and a keydown of 'b' starts the iframe's busy loop. From the dev web page I opened a second viewer WebSocket to /api/preview-stream/ws?threadId=..&tabId=.., released control in the panel and sent takeControl. Each trial sent 'b', then 300 ms later either a plain 'a' or Meta+C (modifiers 4, which the server maps to the copy editing command), then waited 4.5 s; there were two trials of each. The main frame received plain 'a' 1 ms and 2 ms after it was sent, and Meta+C 2704 ms after it was sent both times, which is when the busy frame finished. A copy key is held back by a busy cross-origin frame in its own process; a plain key is not.
Evidence
Steps: In a fresh synthetic project/thread, open a streamed Browser tab containing a selected input and a separate-origin iframe served with Origin-Agent-Cluster: ?1. Take control through a second viewer WebSocket. Send b to start the iframe's 3000 ms busy loop; 300 ms later send a copy/cut shortcut down and up, immediately followed by a down/up and a left click. Run Meta+C, Ctrl+C, Meta+X and Ctrl+X twice each, using distinct selected text per trial, plus a plain-key control. Measure actual page events and viewer clipboard pushes.
Environment on both sides: real T3 server, fresh isolated database without live-data seeding, replay-created thread, Chromium 156 web client, 1280x800 viewport, light app theme and identical dark fixture page.
Observed: shortcut keyDown/keyUp, following key and click took 2703–2752 ms on base and 3–21 ms on head. All eight native copy/cut clipboard payloads matched their distinct selected text on both sides. Clipboard delivery itself remains delayed: 2704–2707 ms on head. The pass verdict covers input responsiveness and eventual clipboard correctness, not immediate clipboard delivery.

Not shown:
Operating-system clipboard paste was not exercised: clipboard contents were verified at the second viewer's actual clipboard push messages.
The combined build with #32801 was not run; this proof exercises left clicks queued immediately after copy/cut on the supplied base and head.

Not in this change
The read after the key still has no time limit per frame session: a frame that never answers delays that viewer's clipboard update indefinitely (input is no longer blocked).
If two copy keys are pressed while a frame is still busy, the earlier key's late read can pick up the later key's copy and push it first; the clipboard still ends with the latest text.
While an embedded frame is busy, input that follows a copy/cut key still waits in the queue until that frame answers the read, as on main. Lifting that safely needs a recorder that keeps one result per key.
The read after the key still has no time limit per frame session.
The copy read still has no time limit per frame session; a frame that never answers delays that viewer's clipboard update, and any later copy reads behind it on the same tab, though no longer other input.
If focus moves between frames during a burst of copy keys, an early read can also consume a later key's entry in another frame; the last text still reaches the clipboard.
The copy read still has no time limit per frame session; a frame that never answers delays that tab's later clipboard updates, though not other input.
Windows rely on the server and its Chromium sharing the system clock; a backwards clock step during a burst of copy keys could misattribute or drop one copy.
Fails on main: the server reads every frame's copy recorder before it
dispatches a copy key, so a frame that does not answer keeps the key
from the page. Repro for #34186.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
The streamed Browser read every frame's copy recorder before sending a
copy or cut key, so a frame busy running script kept the key from a
responsive page. The recorder now stamps each copy with its key's time
and the read after the key takes only copies made since that key was
sent, so the read before the key is gone. That read also runs after the
key leaves the input queue, so a late frame no longer holds the next
key or click either.
Fixes#34186
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
The copy recorder in each frame holds one result, so reading it after
the key had left the input queue let a second copy or cut key clear the
first one's text before it was read. Read it inside the queue again, as
before; the busy-frame wait before the key stays gone.
AI-assisted; verified with the tests and tools listed above.
Macroscope's review found this PR requires human approval — Copy/cut reads no longer block later input when an embedded frame is busy. The unresolved review concern is that stalled reads allow unbounded clipboard-text accumulation; the queue limit and overflow behavior need resolution.
You can add or adjust custom eligibility rules. Learn more.
Copy and cut keys now dispatch before clipboard reads complete. Timestamped clipboard entries are read within each key’s time window. A regression test checks that a delayed embedded-frame read does not prevent the page from receiving a copy key and that the viewer receives the copied text.
Trusted copy and cut events create timestamped queue entries. Session and frame reads use time bounds to select matching entries.
Key dispatch and regression test apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.ts, apps/server/src/preview/ServerBrowser.test.ts
Copy and cut reads are serialized and complete after key dispatch. The test checks that a delayed embedded-frame read does not block the page’s copy key and that the viewer receives the copied text.
pingdotgg/t3code#32034: The issue concerns forwarding server-runtime clipboard text to the viewer. This change updates copy and cut key handling; the issue’s site-button click path remains unaddressed.

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to f5f43
Copy and cut keys no longer wait on a busy embedded frame, but a stalled frame followed by a navigation can lose cut text, a system clock step backward can briefly stall viewer input, and pending clipboard entries are unbounded. These are edge cases, and the change is otherwise an improvement. Resolve or explicitly accept them before merging.

Explanation
For issue #34186, ServerBrowser.ts removes the recorder read before Input.dispatchKeyEvent, so a busy embedded frame does not delay the copy/cut key dispatch. The recorder stores timestamped entries, and takeCopy(since, until) filters copies by the key window. The regression test verifies that the page receives the copy key before the delayed frame read completes and that the viewer receives the copied text. Click handling remains the separate follow-up identified in the issue and PR scope.

Reading the copy recorder inside the input queue held every key and
click after a copy or cut until a busy embedded frame answered. The read
now runs after the key leaves the queue, one read at a time in key
order. The recorder keeps one entry per copy or cut key instead of a
single slot, so a later key cannot overwrite a copy that has not been
read yet. Each read drops entries from keys sent before its own key and
takes the oldest one left.

Bound the pending clipboard entries.
When an embedded-frame read stalls, later copy keys still reach the responsive main frame. Each key adds an entry containing up to CLIPBOARD_TEXT_LIMIT characters. However, tab.copyReads prevents subsequent reads from draining those entries until the stalled read finishes.
Repeated copy keys can therefore retain an unbounded amount of clipboard text. Bound the queue and define its overflow behavior.

A read took every frame's oldest copy since its key was sent, so a read
held up by a busy frame could also consume a later key's copy in another
frame and drop it. Each copy or cut key now gets its own millisecond
window, from just before it is sent to its acknowledgement, and the
next one starts after it. A read only takes a copy keyed inside its
window.

Preserve copies until their reads complete.
This wait does not wait for tab.copyReads. If a frame stalls the first read, a second cut can reach the page while its read waits. A subsequent navigation can destroy the document and its recorder before that read starts. The cut text is then lost after being removed from the page.
Preserve unread entries across navigation, or prevent navigation from discarding them. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Do not wait for an adjustable wall clock to catch up.
If the system clock moves backward after a copy, the next copy waits until Date.now() passes the old timestamp. This wait holds the control queue, so later input and control handoffs can stall for the size of the clock adjustment. Use a monotonic ordering mechanism that remains comparable across the recorder and server. (developer.mozilla.org)

Resolves the conflict with pingdotgg#34204, which gave each copy key its own time
window and moved its read after the key so a busy frame no longer holds input.
Clicks now follow the same pattern, as pingdotgg#34204 asked. A clean left press
records when it was sent and no longer reads every frame before it is
dispatched. Each read after the release takes only a click copy made from
that press up to the moment the read started. A copy from before the press is
dropped as stale, and a slow read can never take the next press's copy.
Copy keys keep pingdotgg#34204's windows in the merged recorder.
The busy-frame test now also sends a left click while a frame's read is
stalled, and fails with the old pre-press read. A real-Chromium test pins the
recorder's clock to check both windows.

Reproduction on main
On origin/main c82e1ba, I started the dev server on a fresh database (T3CODE_DEV_SEED=0 vp run dev), paired the web client in the preview browser and opened a Browser panel (server-runtime tab) in a thread. The tab loaded a local page on http://127.0.0.1:47101/ with a focused, selected text input and an iframe from http://localhost:47102/frame, served with Origin-Agent-Cluster: ?1. On postMessage the iframe busy-waits for 3000 ms. The page beacons every keydown, with its time, to the test server, and a keydown of 'b' starts the iframe's busy loop. From the dev web page I opened a second viewer WebSocket to /api/preview-stream/ws?threadId=..&tabId=.., released control in the panel and sent takeControl. Each trial sent 'b', then 300 ms later either a plain 'a' or Meta+C (modifiers 4, which the server maps to the copy editing command), then waited 4.5 s; there were two trials of each. The main frame received plain 'a' 1 ms and 2 ms after it was sent, and Meta+C 2704 ms after it was sent both times, which is when the busy frame finished. A copy key is held back by a busy cross-origin frame in its own process; a plain key is not.
