PPLT-6073: native PDF visual testing via POST /percy/pdf/snapshot

[RaghavsBrowserStack]

What

Adds first-class PDF visual testing to the CLI. An SDK hands over PDF bytes; the CLI rasterizes the document and creates one Percy snapshot per page, optionally blocking on synchronous comparison results.

This is the in-CLI replacement for the external percy-pdf solution, which can be retired once this ships.

const { postPdfSnapshot } = require('@percy/sdk-utils');

const result = await postPdfSnapshot({
  name: 'Burglary Insurance Policy',
  sync: true,
  pdf: { content: fs.readFileSync('policy.pdf').toString('base64') },
  excludePages: [4, 7]
});
// result.body.data.pages[] -> one entry per page, each with its own diff-info

Why not the old approach

percy-pdf wrapped the CLI from the outside: it unzipped a 5.8 MB pdf.js viewer, served it over http-server, generated a percy snapshot YAML config per document, and captured pages by having Percy's renderer run the viewer and deleting already-captured div.page children from the DOM between snapshots so scope: .canvasWrapper would land on the next page.

That design carried three bugs that are unrepresentable in this one:

1. Page filtering mislabelled snapshots. The per-page execute script was assigned inside a forEach over every previously-pushed snapshot, so all snapshots ended up with the last page's script. Any gap from excludePages meant every later page captured the wrong page under the right name.
2. Page 1 and the second-to-last page could not be excluded — page 1 was structurally the base snapshot, and the second-to-last was entangled with the viewer's page-prefetch step. excludePages: [1] now just works.
3. Page counts were read from the baseline directory even when comparing a release, so a release with extra pages silently lost them.

How it's implemented

Rendering happens in the discovery browser

The CLI already launches Chromium eagerly — percy.start() runs if (!this.skipDiscovery) yield this.#discovery.start(), whose start handler calls percy.browser.launch(). During a PDF-only run that browser sits completely idle: every discovery queueInfo line reports {"queued":0,"pending":0,"total":0}, because percy.upload() bypasses discoverSnapshotResources.

So pdf.js runs in a browser page rather than in Node. An earlier revision of this PR rasterized with @napi-rs/canvas (Skia); that shipped ~25MB of platform-specific native prebuilds to duplicate a renderer already present and running, and has been removed. A second benefit: rendering is now the CLI's pinned Chromium revision, so page rasters are as reproducible as the rest of Percy's pipeline instead of tracking a separately versioned native dependency.

@percy/cli-pdf (new package) — helpers and pdf.js assets

No reference to @percy/core, which is what lets core list it as an optionalDependency without a cycle. Its only heavyweight cost is pdfjs-dist's ~34MB of library, fonts and cmaps, which nobody installs unless they snapshot a PDF.

Module	Responsibility
pages.js	resolvePages() — parses 3, [1,2,5], "1-5", "1,3,8", "2-"; applies excludePages; validates against the real page count
browser-scripts.js	The functions that execute inside the page (openDocument, measurePages, renderPage, destroyDocument) plus the scale/dimension limits
assets.js	pdfjsAssets() — the installed pdfjs-dist paths the asset server and page injection need

The wrapper DOM is not in this package — it is shared with @percy/cli-upload, see below.

@percy/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js — the browser work

rasterizePdf(percy, buffer, options) stands up a throwaway loopback origin (Server.serve) exposing pdf.js, its worker, standard_fonts, cmaps and the document itself; opens an isolated page on it; injects pdf.js; then measures and renders each selected page to a PNG data URL.

Serving the assets over a real origin is what makes standard fonts work. pdf.js fetches standardFontDataUrl / cMapUrl over HTTP at render time, and the base-14 fonts (Helvetica, Times…) aren't embedded in most documents — without a reachable origin pdf.js renders wrong metrics or drops glyphs and only warns. isEvalSupported: false is still passed, because the PDF itself is untrusted input.

It calls percy.browser.launch() explicitly. That's idempotent (if (this.readyState != null) return), and it makes PDF snapshots work under skipDiscovery, where the eager launch doesn't happen.

@percy/core — the endpoint

POST /percy/pdf/snapshot → src/pdf-snapshot.js, which validates the request, decodes the base64 document (50 MB cap and %PDF- magic-byte check, matching /percy/comparison/upload), lazily imports @percy/cli-pdf, and fans out.

Each page carries resources and no tag, so createSnapshotsQueue's task handler picks client.sendSnapshot over sendComparison: these are real web snapshots, not comparisons. resources is passed as a function (the lazy-resource pattern cli-upload uses) so the root-DOM and resource-object construction is deferred into the queue task.

Concurrency, precisely

Stage	Behaviour
Rendering pages → PNG	Sequential, one page.eval per page against a single browser page.
Queuing the N snapshots	All at once, non-blocking. All pages are pushed via percy.upload() in a single synchronous pass.
Uploading	Concurrent, up to the snapshots queue's concurrency (discovery.concurrency, default 10).
Polling for completion	One shared batched poll. WaitForJob collects every pending job id and issues a single getStatus (job_status?...&id=a,b,c) per interval, so a 10-page PDF costs one request per poll, not ten.
Fetching final details	Parallel — Promise.all over handleSyncJob.

Only rasterization is serial; nothing blocks page-by-page.

Sync mode attaches { resolve, reject } per page (mirroring the /percy/comparison route), then aggregates each page's handleSyncJob result. handleSyncJob converts failures into { error } rather than rejecting, so one bad page yields a partial result instead of losing every other page's.

@percy/sdk-utils — the shared seam

postPdfSnapshot(), exported alongside postSnapshot, so all SDKs can re-export it.

Pages are extracted, not rendered

percy-api can skip the renderer entirely for image-backed snapshots. Comparison#upload_snapshot? (app/models/percy/comparison.rb) gates on exactly two things:

unless user_agent&.include?('@percy/cli-upload')   # substring match
unless resource_url&.include?('http://local/')     # the ROOT resource URL

When both hold, start_comparison_job.rb calls extract_and_process_upload_snapshot, which recovers the image by matching the root resource against /<img\s+src="([^"]+)"\s+width="(\d+)px"\s+height="(\d+)px"/ and returns before RenderJob is enqueued.

An earlier revision of this PR was not taking that path, so every PDF page was fully re-rendered by the renderer fleet despite the CLI already having produced the exact PNG. Measured on the same 3-page document:

	Per-page processing
Rendered (no marker)	19s, 11s, 9s
Extracted	1s, 1s, 1s

The endpoint now tags the build's User-Agent with @percy/cli-pdf/<version> and @percy/cli-upload/<version>. The gate is a substring match, so naming both unlocks extraction while keeping the UA honest about which code actually ran, rather than impersonating the upload command.

One wrapper, shared with cli-upload

That wrapper HTML is a contract with percy-api, not cosmetics — and a mismatch is not an error: extraction raises, percy-api rescues it, and the snapshot silently falls back to being rendered at ~10x the processing cost, with nothing surfaced to the user.

It therefore has exactly one definition, buildImageSnapshotHtml / createImageSnapshotResources in @percy/core's utils.js. cli-upload's getImageResources delegates to it, and the PDF path uses it. core cannot import cli-upload (cli-upload -> cli-command -> core would cycle), but cli-upload already reaches core's utils through @percy/cli-command/utils, so this needs no new dependency. cli-upload's existing suite passes unchanged, confirming byte-identical output.

core/test/image-snapshot-resources.test.js pins percy-api's regex verbatim so drift fails CI instead of degrading silently in production.

Operator note: upload_extraction_allowed? only short-circuits on a project's default base branch. Elsewhere it mirrors the base comparison's upload_snapshot_extracted flag, so baselines taken before this change must be regenerated before comparison builds will extract.

Two contract decisions worth calling out

The document travels as base64 in an ordinary JSON body, and the sync response is always a JSON object, never a bare array. Both exist so every SDK can call this with the HTTP client it already has. Concretely, for the .NET wrapper: the request goes through its existing Dictionary<string, object> → JsonSerializer helper, and the response through its existing JObject.Parse — no multipart, no streaming, no new HTTP machinery. The cost is base64's 33% inflation, which is the right trade for a one-line integration across ~26 SDKs.

Sync response shape

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "pdf-name": "Burglary Insurance Policy",
    "page-count": 3,
    "pages-snapshotted": 3,
    "status": "success",
    "pages": [
      { "page": 1, "snapshot-name": "Burglary Insurance Policy | Page 1",
        "screenshots": [ { "diff-info": { "diff-ratio": 0 } } ] },
      { "page": 2, "snapshot-name": "Burglary Insurance Policy | Page 2",
        "screenshots": [ { "diff-info": { "diff-ratio": 0.00085774 } } ] }
    ]
  }
}

page and snapshot-name are set after the API payload is spread in, so the values we submitted always win over whatever the API echoes back — otherwise a change in the API's naming would silently break the caller's page mapping.

Notes for reviewers

• Snapshot names match percy-pdf exactly (<name> | Page N) so teams migrating keep their approved baselines instead of orphaning every one.
• No percy pdf <dir> command, deliberately. percy.syncMode() force-disables sync under skipUploads/deferUploads/delayUploads, which is exactly what the snapshot and upload commands set. A command could therefore never return comparison results, so PDF support is reachable only through this endpoint under percy exec.
• Oversized pages are fitted, not rejected. Legal (1224×2016 at scale 2) and A3 exceed Percy's 2000 px cap and are precisely the documents this targets, so fitScale() reduces the scale deterministically from the page's own dimensions and warns. Deterministic from page geometry means the same document always rasterizes identically, which is what a stable baseline needs.
• pdfjs-dist pinned to 4.x, not 6.x — 6.x requires Node >= 22.13, while 4.8.69 needs only Node >= 18, matching the CLI's engine range.
• standardFontDataUrl and cMapUrl are configured explicitly. Without them pdf.js renders standard fonts with wrong metrics or drops CJK glyphs and only warns, which would surface as a mysterious visual diff rather than an error.
• isEvalSupported: false — PDFs are untrusted input arriving over the local API, and this is the one pdf.js switch that permits code execution.
• standardFontDataUrl / cMapUrl are served, not configured away. Without them pdf.js renders standard fonts with wrong metrics or drops CJK glyphs, and only warns — which would surface as a mysterious visual diff rather than an error.
• new Function(pdfjsSource) mirrors page.insertPercyDom() (page.js:239); the input is pdfjs-dist's own vendored file, never user data.
• Baselines from the earlier revision of this PR must be regenerated, since the rasterizer changed from Skia to Chromium.

A bug caught during development

The first end-to-end run reported max diff-ratio=0 for a document that genuinely differed — both the passing and failing functional tests passed vacuously.

The wrapper (then a PDF-local buildPageHtml, since replaced by the shared one) ran encodeURI over an already percent-encoded image URL, turning %20 into %2520. The <img src> then matched no registered resource, so every page rendered as the same blank sheet and all pages collapsed to a single image hash. It surfaced only by noticing that page 2 and page 3 shared a current-image hash in the raw sync payload.

Fixed to HTML-escape only. The guards now live in packages/core/test/image-snapshot-resources.test.js ("does not re-encode an already-encoded URL", "keeps the img src and the image resource URL identical") and packages/core/test/pdf-snapshot.test.js ("attaches a root DOM whose img src matches the image resource", "gives each page a distinct image resource"). This is a failure mode that reports green, so it is worth guarding directly.

Node compatibility

pdfjs-dist is pinned to 2.16.105, the last line that declares no engines constraint. 3.x and later declare node: ">=18", and since yarn enforces engines across the whole tree, anything newer breaks yarn install on the repo's Node 14 CI — not just for PDF users, but for everyone. @percy/cli-pdf therefore declares >=14, matching its sibling packages.

Testing

Suite	Result
@percy/cli-pdf	32/32 pass
@percy/core (test/pdf-snapshot.test.js, 19 specs)	19/19 pass
@percy/sdk-utils (postPdfSnapshot, 5 specs)	5/5 pass
eslint on all changed files	clean

Verified end to end against a real Percy project using a Selenium + Mocha harness that drives a browser, downloads a PDF via a download button, and hands the bytes to this endpoint:

• unchanged document → all 3 pages diff-ratio 0, exit 0
• document changed on page 2 only → exit 1, page 2 … diff-ratio 0.00085774, while pages 1 and 3 report 0

That last line is the point of per-page snapshots: a one-page change in a multi-page document is localised rather than flagging the whole file.

Follow-ups

• SDK wrappers exposing postPdfSnapshot. A Percy.PdfSnapshot(string name, byte[] pdf, Dictionary<string, object>? options) implementation for percy-selenium-dotnet is written against this contract and reuses its existing Request() helper unchanged; it will be raised separately.
• Customer-facing docs, and a deprecation notice on percy-pdf pointing here.

Summary

Adds native PDF visual testing: a new @percy/cli-pdf package (pdf.js assets + page-selection parsing + page-context scripts), POST /percy/pdf/snapshot in @percy/core backed by pdf-rasterize.js rendering in the already-idle discovery browser, a postPdfSnapshot SDK helper, and a shared image-snapshot resource/HTML builder extracted for reuse by @percy/cli-upload.

High	Correctness	No race conditions or concurrency issues	Pass	percy.browser.launch() is idempotent (if (this.readyState != null) return); pages render sequentially; the sync path uses the generatePromise-wrapped percy.upload with the existing {resolve, reject} job pattern.

Findings

• File: packages/core/src/config.js:1062 (and :1071 for excludePages)

• Severity: Medium

• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer

• Issue: The JSON-schema pattern for pages/excludePages is stricter than the parser it describes. parseSelection in packages/cli-pdf/src/pages.js deliberately skips empty segments, and packages/cli-pdf/test/pages.test.js:34-35 pins that behaviour ('1,,3' → [1,3], '2,' → [2]). Verified against the live regex: both of those inputs fail to match, while '1,3-5,8', '3-' and '2-4' pass. validatePdfSnapshotOptions only logs (it does not reject), so this is not a functional break — but it emits a misleading Invalid PDF snapshot options: - pages: ... warning for inputs the package's own tests treat as valid, which erodes the warning's signal.

• Suggestion: Allow empty segments in the pattern, e.g. '^\s*(\d+\s*(-\s*\d*\s*)?)?(\s*,\s*(\d+\s*(-\s*\d*\s*)?)?)*$', or drop the regex and rely on resolvePages, which already raises specific runtime errors.

• File: packages/core/src/config.js (scale) vs packages/cli-pdf/src/browser-scripts.js (DEFAULT_SCALE, MAX_SCALE)

• Severity: Low

• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer

• Issue: maximum: 5 / default: 2 are hardcoded literals in the schema while pdf-rasterize.js enforces the exported MAX_SCALE/DEFAULT_SCALE constants. Two sources of truth that can silently diverge. The optional-dependency boundary is presumably why config.js can't import them.

• Suggestion: Add a comment in config.js naming @percy/cli-pdf's constants as canonical, or add a test asserting the two stay in sync.

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:103-104

• Severity: Low

• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer

• Issue: widths: snapshotOptions.widths || [width] and minHeight: snapshotOptions.minHeight || height discard explicit falsy overrides (widths: [], minHeight: 0) in favour of the derived default.

• Suggestion: Use ?? or an explicit key check if "unset" and "falsy" should be distinguished. Low impact — neither falsy value is meaningful input.

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:53-54

• Severity: Low

• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer

• Issue: The short-buffer branch throws `pdf.content` is not valid base64-encoded data, but it fires whenever the decoded buffer is under 5 bytes — which valid base64 of a tiny payload will also do. It conflates "too short to be a PDF" with "not valid base64".

• Suggestion: Reuse the adjacent, more accurate wording ("does not decode to a PDF (missing %PDF- header)"), since both branches mean the same thing to the caller.

Verified non-issues

The reviewer explicitly checked and cleared: percy.upload(...).catch(reject) (valid — upload is generatePromise-wrapped in the Percy constructor); new Function(pdfjsSource) injection (identical to the existing insertPercyDom() pattern); widths/minHeight/sync all declared in the shared /snapshot#/$defs/common schema; asset-server and page cleanup on every exit path; and cli-upload's refactor preserving the exact prior HTML/resource shape.

Note: the security reviewers in this repo (stack:security-review, stack:security-auditor) are disabled for this orchestrator run; the Security rows above reflect the general reviewer's incidental observations, not a dedicated security pass.

Assert the schema warning separately.

validatePdfSnapshotOptions logs schema errors and continues. Therefore, all three values reach rasterizePdf, and the existing Invalid scale assertion already checks the rasterizer path. Add a logger.stderr assertion for the /scale schema warning. Without it, a regression that removes schema validation can pass while rasterization still rejects the values.

Claude Code PR Review

PR: #2418 • Head: 1e61fd4 • Reviewers: stack:code-reviewer

Diff taken against origin/master (44 files, ~2.3k insertions). The local master ref was 9 commits stale; reviewing against it would have folded in unrelated master-side changes.

Summary

Adds native PDF visual testing: a new @percy/cli-pdf package (pdf.js assets, page-selection parsing, in-page render scripts), a POST /percy/pdf/snapshot endpoint in core that rasterizes a base64 PDF in the existing discovery browser and emits one Percy snapshot per page, a shared image-snapshot wrapper extracted out of @percy/cli-upload, a postPdfSnapshot sdk-utils helper, and a byte-exact PNG golden regression track.

Review Table

Priority	Category	Check	Status	Notes
High	Security	No hardcoded secrets or credentials	Pass	None introduced.
High	Security	Authentication/authorization checks present	Fail	The per-request PDF asset server inherits Server's :: bind default (server.js:137), serving the customer's document bytes unauthenticated on all interfaces for the duration of rasterization. Only the local discovery browser needs to reach it. See #5.
High	Security	Input validation and sanitization	Fail	Magic-byte, size, name, scale and page-selection validation are thorough — but the wrapper's HTML escaping corrupts the URL contract (#1) and the 50MB cap is applied only after full decode (#4).
High	Security	No IDOR — resource ownership validated	N/A	No multi-tenant resource addressing on this path.
High	Security	No SQL injection (parameterized queries)	N/A	No SQL in the CLI.
High	Correctness	Logic is correct, handles edge cases	Fail	Page selection, ranges, dedup, exclusion and scale clamping are excellent and exhaustively tested. #1 and #2 are defects on live paths.
High	Correctness	Error handling is explicit, no swallowed exceptions	Fail	Nothing is swallowed, but #2 discards the message entirely on the most likely production failure, and #6 reports every server-side failure as HTTP 400.
High	Correctness	No race conditions or concurrency issues	Pass	Per-request asset server and browser page are properly isolated; sync callbacks mirror the established /percy/comparison pattern. Caveat: no per-endpoint concurrency limit (#3).
Medium	Testing	New code has corresponding tests	Pass	pages, browser-scripts, assets, the endpoint, the wrapper contract and sdk-utils are all covered — including percy-api's extraction regex pinned verbatim as an assertion, which is the right instinct for a silently-degrading contract.
Medium	Testing	Error paths and edge cases tested	Fail	Validation rejections and sync failures are well covered; the in-page rasterization failure path (#2) and the apostrophe URL case (#1) are both untested, which is why CI is green.
Medium	Testing	Existing tests still pass (no regressions)	Fail	CI is green (49 pass, 2 pending, 0 fail) — but @percy/cli-upload genuinely regresses for filenames containing ' (#1) and no test guards it. Green CI here reflects a coverage gap, not absence of regression.
Medium	Performance	No N+1 queries or unbounded data fetching	Fail	No cap on page count; every page PNG is retained in memory twice (render array + resource closures), each crossing CDP as a base64 data URL first. Request bodies are buffered with no limit (#3, #4).
Medium	Performance	Long-running tasks use background jobs	Fail	page.eval(renderPage, …) has no timeout — Page.TIMEOUT covers goto only (page.js:187). A PDF that wedges pdf.js hangs the HTTP request while holding a browser page and a listening asset server indefinitely (#3).
Medium	Quality	Follows existing codebase patterns	Pass	Route registration, ServerError, handleSyncJob, percy.upload + lazy resources thunk, sdk-utils helper shape, regression-track runner and .semgrepignore rationale format all match the repo.
Medium	Quality	Changes are focused (single concern)	Pass	The cli-upload refactor is genuinely required to keep one definition of the percy-api wrapper contract; the rest is on-topic.
Low	Quality	Meaningful names, no dead code	Pass	Nit: _parseSelection is exported from pages.js:74 but imported nowhere.
Low	Quality	Comments explain why, not what	Pass	Among the strongest in the repo — the percy-api contract, the isEvalSupported: false rationale, the golden-platform scoping and the tolerance measurement are all "why".
Low	Quality	No unnecessary dependencies added	Pass	pdfjs-dist is necessary and @napi-rs/canvas was correctly dropped in favour of the browser already running.

Findings

• File: packages/core/src/utils.js:533
• Severity: High
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: escapeHtml is applied to imageUrl in attribute context, but encodeURIComponent does not escape '. The apostrophe becomes ' in the <img src> while createResource registers the raw URL (normalizeURL preserves '), so the two diverge. Verified by direct reproduction:

  resource url : http://local/Jack's%20Resume/page-1.png
  extracted src: http://local/Jack's%20Resume/page-1.png   -> no match
  

  Per the file's own contract comment, a mismatch is not an error: percy-api rescues and silently falls back to rendering, turning the ~1s/page extraction path back into ~9-19s/page with nothing surfaced to the user. This is also a behavioural regression in shipping code — the previous cli-upload/src/utils.js interpolated imageUrl raw, so apostrophed filenames extracted correctly before this PR and will not after it.
• Suggestion: Split text-context from attribute-context escaping. The value is double-quoted, so only & and " can break out; ' must be left literal so the src stays byte-identical to the registered resource URL.

  // Attribute context: double-quoted, so only & and " can break out. `'` must NOT
  // be escaped -- percy-api compares this src against the registered resource URL
  // byte-for-byte, and encodeURIComponent leaves `'` literal.
  function escapeAttr(value) {
    return String(value).replace(/&/g, '&').replace(/"/g, '"');
  }

  Keep escapeHtml for <title>${escapeHtml(name)}</title>, use escapeAttr for the src. Add a test beside the existing %20 one asserting regex.exec(root.content)[1] === image.url for a name containing '.

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:160
• Severity: High
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Page#eval rejects with a string, not an Error — confirmed at packages/core/src/page.js:216 (throw exceptionDetails.exception.description). Every failure originating inside the page (corrupt PDF, password-protected PDF, a pdf.js render throw, the 'pdf.js did not initialise in the page' guard) therefore has no .message, and the caller receives literally Could not rasterize PDF: undefined. A malformed-but-%PDF--prefixed document is the single most likely production failure. The existing test passes only because it stubs percy.browser.page rejecting with a real Error.
• Suggestion:

  } catch (error) {
    // Page#eval rejects with the CDP exception description string, not an Error.
    let message = error?.message ?? String(error);
    log.error(`Failed to rasterize PDF "${name}": ${message}`);
    throw new ServerError(status, `Could not rasterize PDF: ${message}`);
  }

  Add a test posting a %PDF--prefixed but structurally invalid buffer, asserting the message is non-empty.

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:60
• Severity: High
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Three unbounded dimensions on a network-reachable endpoint. (a) Nothing caps page count — a 50MB PDF can hold thousands of pages, and pages.push({ … png }) retains every PNG, which queuePages then holds again in resource closures; each also crosses CDP as a base64 data URL (+33%) before decode. (b) page.eval(renderPage, …) has no timeout — Page.TIMEOUT is applied only to goto (page.js:187), so Runtime.callFunctionOn with awaitPromise: true waits forever, hanging the request while holding a browser page and a listening asset server. (c) Nothing limits concurrent requests, so N in-flight PDF snapshots mean N asset servers and N browser pages.
• Suggestion:

  const MAX_PAGES = 250;
  const PAGE_RENDER_TIMEOUT = 30_000;
  
  if (selected.length > MAX_PAGES) {
    throw new Error(`Requested ${selected.length} pages; the maximum is ${MAX_PAGES}. Use \`pages\` to narrow the selection.`);
  }
  
  let rendered = await Promise.race([
    page.eval(renderPage, { pageNumber, scale: effectiveScale }),
    new Promise((_, r) => setTimeout(() => r(new Error(
      `Timed out rendering page ${pageNumber} after ${PAGE_RENDER_TIMEOUT}ms`)), PAGE_RENDER_TIMEOUT).unref())
  ]);

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:51
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Buffer.from(content, 'base64') allocates before the size check, and IncomingMessage (packages/core/src/server.js:39) buffers the entire request body with no cap and JSON-parses it. A 1GB body is fully buffered, parsed, and decoded into a ~750MB Buffer before the 413 fires.
• Suggestion: Reject on the encoded length before allocating: if (content.length > Math.ceil(MAX_PDF_BYTES / 3) * 4) throw new ServerError(413, …). A Content-Length guard in the route, and eventually a server-level body cap, would be the fuller fix.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:6
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Server.createServer({ port: 0 }) inherits get host() { return process.env.PERCY_SERVER_HOST || '::' } (server.js:137), so the customer's PDF — and confidential documents like policies and resumes are precisely this feature's target — is served unauthenticated on all interfaces while rasterization runs. Unlike the API server, nothing here needs off-loopback reachability; the only client is the local discovery browser.
• Suggestion: Thread a host option through Server/createServer, pass '127.0.0.1' here, and build origin from that host.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:161
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Browser-launch failure, OOM, an asset-server bind error and a CDP disconnect all return 400 Bad Request, telling the SDK the caller's input was wrong when it was not.
• Suggestion: Tag input-derived throws (page selection out of range, bad scale, unparseable PDF) with status = 400 and default everything else to 500.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:90
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: In the finally block, await page?.close() precedes await server.close(), so a throwing close() leaks the asset server — a listening socket still holding the PDF buffer.
• Suggestion: await Promise.allSettled([page?.close(), server.close()]);. Moving destroyDocument (line 87) into the cleanup would also be tidier, though it is harmless today since the page is destroyed anyway.

---

• File: test/regression/pdf-render.test.js:70
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Only the linux-x64 job asserts, so the committed darwin-arm64 goldens (~2MB of PNGs) are verified by nothing in CI and will silently rot on the next Chromium bump — the first macOS contributor to run the track gets a failure unrelated to their change. Separately, any platform without a committed set (linux-arm64, win32, a future GitHub arm64 runner) exits 1, turning an environment mismatch into a red build. The assertion is also byte-exact against goldens produced on ubuntu-latest, a moving image: a freetype/harfbuzz/fontconfig bump changes glyph rasterization with no code change.
• Suggestion: Skip-with-warning on an unrecognised platform unless CI/PDF_GOLDENS_REQUIRED=1 is set; either drop the darwin-arm64 set or document it as best-effort and unenforced; pin the job to ubuntu-22.04 rather than ubuntu-latest. The tolerance mechanism for jack-sparrow-resume is well-reasoned and correctly refuses to tolerate size changes.

---

• File: packages/core/test/pdf-snapshot.test.js:56
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: jasmine.DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_INTERVAL = 240000 plus real Chromium rasterization across ~25 specs turns part of core's unit job into an integration suite (the filesystem.$bypass hook for pdfjs-dist is a symptom of the same). The afterAll restore is correct and the comment is honest, but Test @percy/core is the one check still pending on this PR.
• Suggestion: Put the fan-out/sync specs behind a stubbed rasterizePdf and let test/regression/pdf-render.test.js own the real-browser assertions; the request-validation and decodePdf specs need no browser at all.

---

• File: packages/core/src/utils.js:1001
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: OPTION_MAPPINGS has no entry for excludepages, and normalizeOptions falls back to the original key. A snake_case SDK caller sending exclude_pages therefore keeps that key, trips unevaluatedProperties: false into a log-only warning, and the handler's excludePages destructure yields undefined — the option is silently dropped. (pages and scale are unaffected: single lowercase words pass through intact.)
• Suggestion: Add excludepages: 'excludePages' to OPTION_MAPPINGS.

---

• File: packages/core/src/config.js:1082
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: maximum: 5 / default: 2 duplicate MAX_SCALE / DEFAULT_SCALE (cli-pdf/src/browser-scripts.js:4-5), and 2000px appears in the schema description, in MAX_DIMENSION, and in the warn string at pdf-rasterize.js:70. The schema default never applies, since the handler reads scale off normalized rather than the validated copy. Duplication is arguably forced here — @percy/cli-pdf is an optional dependency, so core cannot import it at schema-registration time — but nothing pins the two together.
• Suggestion: Add a test asserting the schema bounds match the cli-pdf constants, or note the constraint in a comment next to maximum: 5.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:26
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Declaring @percy/cli-upload/<version> to satisfy percy-api's substring check is a deliberate, well-commented hack, and pairing it with an honest @percy/cli-pdf/… entry is the right mitigation — but client-info telemetry will over-count the upload command for as long as it stands.
• Suggestion: File a linked ticket to add @percy/cli-pdf to percy-api's upload_snapshot? predicate, then drop the synthetic entry.

---

• File: packages/cli-pdf/src/pages.js:74
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer
• Issue: Assorted polish. _parseSelection is exported but imported nowhere. packages/cli-pdf/ has no README.md while every other cli-* package does, and it registers no CLI command despite the cli- prefix — @percy/pdf would describe it better, and renaming is far cheaper before the beta ships. pdf-snapshot.js:151 awaits loadPdfModule() but discards the result, and rasterizePdf re-imports the same module. sdk-utils/src/post-pdf-snapshot.js lacks the explanatory comment its two siblings carry. The .semgrepignore entries are path exclusions removing the two files from all rules, not just path-join-resolve-traversal — acceptable for test-only files and consistent with repo convention, but the comment slightly overstates what is suppressed. Finally, the PR description contradicts itself on the pdfjs pin (4.8.69 in one section, 2.16.105 in another); the tree has ^2.16.105, a caret range rather than the pin the description claims.
• Suggestion: Drop _parseSelection or add the test it was exported for; add a README; pass the loaded module into rasterizePdf; reconcile the PR description before merge.

---

Note: pdfjs-dist@2.x is EOL, pinned for the Node 14 floor. isEvalSupported: false is the correct mitigation for CVE-2024-4367 and is asserted in a test — worth a tracking ticket to move to 4.x when the engine floor rises.

CI at time of review: 49 checks passing, 2 pending (Test @percy/core), 0 failing.

Security-specialist reviewers (stack:security-review, stack:security-auditor) are temporarily disabled in the orchestrator, so the Security rows above reflect only what the general code reviewer surfaced — they are not a substitute for a dedicated security pass.

Claude Code PR Review

PR: #2418 • Head: 750a5f0 • Reviewers: stack:code-reviewer

Re-review of the fix commit 750a5f06, which addresses 6 of the 13 findings from the review of 1e61fd4. Diff taken against origin/master (local master is 9 commits stale).

Summary

Adds native PDF visual testing (POST /percy/pdf/snapshot, new @percy/cli-pdf, in-browser rasterization, a shared image-snapshot wrapper); the new commit fixes the extraction-contract escape bug, makes Page#eval throw a real Error, adds page/time/size limits and corrects HTTP status classification.

High	Correctness	Logic is correct, handles edge cases	Fail	F7 is not cosmetic — it shipped as a red Test @percy/core. Base64 arithmetic is exact, MAX_PAGES ordering is right, page?.close() under allSettled is right; F2/F3/F4 remain.

Findings

• File: packages/core/src/page.js:97
• Severity: High
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F7) — confirmed by CI
• Issue: remoteError takes the description's first line as the message of a new Error, whose name is "Error". CDP's description already opens with the remote error's own name, so the prefix doubles. @percy/logger renders a thrown Error as Error.prototype.toString.call(err) and only falls back to stack at debug level (logger.js:301-312), so this also drops the remote frames from what the user sees. A thrown string was previously printed verbatim. Test @percy/core fails deterministically on snapshot.test.js:1754, which pins exactly those at execute (<anonymous>:4:17) frames — the lines a user needs to debug their own execute script.
• Suggestion: Blank the name so Error.prototype.toString returns the description verbatim, keeping logged output byte-identical to the string it replaced, and take message.split('\n')[0] where only a summary line is wanted (the HTTP body). Note the fix of parsing the name off the first line does not work: it yields "Error: test error" with the frames stripped, which still fails this spec.

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:34
• Severity: High
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F1)
• Issue: withTimeout has no test. The setTimeout(() => reject(...)) arrow, the promise.catch(() => {}) arrow and the timer.unref?.() branch are never executed by any spec — the three fake-page specs reject on the first page.eval, which is the pdf.js injection at line 82 and is not wrapped. .nycrc requires 100% branches/lines/functions/statements and CI runs test:coverage. Beyond the gate: the fix for "no timeout on rendering" ships with no evidence it works.
• Suggestion: Export withTimeout and unit-test it at ms: 1 — one spec for the timeout rejection, one for pass-through-and-clear, one asserting a late rejection does not surface as unhandled.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:82
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F2)
• Issue: The comment claims every in-page call is raced against a timeout. Two are not: page.eval(new Function(pdfjsSource)) at line 82 (injecting ~2MB of pdf.js into a page that may already be unresponsive) and page.eval(destroyDocument) at line 138. Either reproduces the original defect exactly — request hangs forever holding a browser page and a listening asset server.
• Suggestion: Wrap both in withTimeout, or move destroyDocument into the finally under allSettled.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:110
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F3)
• Issue: The timeout is per-call, so a PDF whose pages each render in 29s runs 250 × 29s ≈ 2 hours on one held-open connection without tripping anything. A per-call timeout catches a wedge, not slowness at scale — which is the case the page cap was added for.
• Suggestion: Compute one deadline up front and shrink each per-call budget against it.

---

• File: packages/cli-pdf/src/pages.js:1
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F4)
• Issue: MAX_PAGES caps page count, but the per-page ceiling is MAX_DIMENSION = 2000, so 250 content-heavy pages is ~0.5-1.5GB resident — the very failure mode the comment describes. The cap only helps against the "thousands of tiny pages" shape.
• Suggestion: Add a running byte budget in the render loop where png.length is known, or make the comment honest about the worst case.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:141
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F6)
• Issue: Correct for the leak it fixes, but a server.close() failure used to propagate and now vanishes unlogged — a socket that fails to drain leaves a port holding the customer's PDF with nothing recording it.
• Suggestion: Iterate the settled results and log.debug any rejection.

---

• File: packages/core/test/pdf-snapshot.test.js:234
• Severity: Medium
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F5)
• Issue: The new oversized-PDF spec allocates a ~70MB string and round-trips it over HTTP — roughly 350-400MB transient, on a Node 14 runner, in a suite that already sets a 240s timeout and drives a real browser. The assertion itself is load-bearing (expect(fromSpy).not.toHaveBeenCalledWith(...) is the only thing distinguishing the new pre-decode check from the pre-existing post-decode 413).
• Suggestion: Move it into the existing describe('decodePdf') block and call decodePdf directly — same strength, a third of the memory, no server round trip. (spyOn(Buffer, 'from') itself is safe: writable/configurable, callThrough preserves behavior, PDF_MAGIC is built at module load before the spy installs.)

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:43
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F13)
• Issue: Promise.race calls .then(resolve, reject) on every input, so a loser's later rejection is already handled and an unhandled-rejection warning cannot occur. Verified empirically. The line is dead code and its comment asserts a hazard that does not exist — and it is one of the uncovered functions in F1.
• Suggestion: Delete both the line and the comment.

---

• File: packages/core/src/utils.js:520
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F10)
• Issue: & is currently unreachable (both call sites use encodeURIComponent), but if one ever slips through, escapeAttr produces src="…&…" against a resource URL of …&… — byte-for-byte the bug just fixed, with the same silence. A silent rewrite is the wrong backstop for a contract that fails silently.
• Suggestion: Warn when [&"] is seen, and add the & case to the property test so the escaping behavior itself is pinned.

---

• File: packages/core/src/pdf-snapshot.js:14
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F11, F12)
• Issue: The arithmetic is exact — Math.ceil(52428800/3)*4 === 69905068, matching Buffer.alloc(50MB).toString('base64').length with a > comparison, so an exactly-50MB PDF passes. But Buffer.from(s, 'base64') tolerates whitespace, and MIME-style 76-column wrapping inflates by ~1.3%: a 49.4MB line-wrapped PDF gets a spurious 413. Separately, the comment claims the check prevents a 1GB body being "buffered, JSON-parsed and decoded" — all three still happen except the decode.
• Suggestion: Compare content.replace(/\s/g, '').length, and either correct the comment or add the cap in IncomingMessage.

---

• File: packages/cli-pdf/src/pages.js:80
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F14)
• Issue: With no pages supplied, "Requested 251 pages but the maximum per request is 250" tells the caller they requested something they did not.
• Suggestion: Reword when pages == null.

---

• File: packages/core/src/page.js:99
• Severity: Low
• Reviewer: stack:code-reviewer (F8, F9)
• Issue: error.stack = description discards the Node-side frames entirely, so the stack names none of the eleven page.eval call sites. Separately, JSON.stringify(value) can throw on a cyclic thrown object, replacing the real page error with the serializer's.
• Suggestion: Append the local stack after the remote one; wrap the stringify in try/catch. (Verified correct: 0 and false take the String(value) branch, and both are pinned by tests.)

Verified fixed by this commit

escapeAttr (prior finding 1) — correct scope, ' preserved, good property test. remoteError (2) — no caller in the monorepo consumed the rejection as a string; page.js:223 is genuinely a different path. asInputError / error?.status ?? 500 (6) — audited, no .status collisions. Pre-decode base64 cap (4) — arithmetic exact. Promise.allSettled cleanup (7) — page?.close() → undefined handled correctly.

Still open from the previous review

5 (:: bind), 8 (darwin-arm64 goldens unverified; ubuntu-latest is a moving image for byte-exact goldens), 9 (240s timeout + real browser in the unit suite, worsened by F5), 10 (constants duplicated), 11 (now carries a justifying comment, which is a reasonable answer), 12 (_parseSelection, no README, loadPdfModule() result discarded then re-imported).

CI at time of review: 48 pass, 2 fail, 1 pending. Test @percy/core fails on F7 above. Test @percy/cli-exec fails only on the Windows runner, on "handles terminating the child process when interrupted" — a SIGTERM/child-process spec that touches nothing in this PR; the same job passes on the Linux legs of the same commit.

Security-specialist reviewers remain disabled in the orchestrator, so the Security rows reflect only what the general code reviewer surfaced.

Limit the PDF request body before buffering.

IncomingMessage stores all request chunks and parses JSON before /percy/pdf/snapshot reaches handlePdfSnapshot and decodePdf. Without a parser limit, a caller can slowly send an oversized JSON body and exhaust CLI memory before decodePdf returns 413. Enforce the body limit while reading the request.

Guard string range expansion before materializing pages.

A PDF snapshot request can pass pages to rasterizePdf(), which calls resolvePages(). parseSelection() then allocates every value from range(from, to) before resolvePages() checks document bounds or MAX_PAGES. A large range can exhaust the heap before the request returns its validation error. Validate range bounds and effective cardinality before materialization, or use a bounded lazy representation.

Enforce an aggregate PNG-byte limit before appending to pages. rasterizePdf retains each png, and queuePages captures the same buffer in a delayed resources closure. MAX_PAGES permits 250 pages, while each canvas can reach 2000×2000 pixels. Image-heavy PDFs can therefore retain gigabytes of raster output and exhaust the CLI process. Add an aggregate byte budget, or release each buffer only after its resource upload completes.

Bound page.close() during PDF cleanup.

Page.close() waits for Target.closeTarget, and Promise.allSettled() waits for that promise. With PERCY_CDP_TIMEOUT=0, cleanup can remain pending indefinitely. With the default CDP timeout, cleanup can still exceed the 30-second PAGE_RENDER_TIMEOUT. Bound page.close() and add an integration test for this path.

Claude Code PR Review

PR: #2418 • Head: e6b4108 • Reviewers: stack:code-reviewer

Third pass. e6b41084 closes every High finding from the review of 750a5f06. Verified against CI rather than asserted: Test @percy/core passes on the Linux workflow having run test:coverage, which enforces .nycrc's 100% branches/lines/functions/statements.

Summary

Native PDF visual testing via POST /percy/pdf/snapshot — a new @percy/cli-pdf, rasterization inside the existing discovery browser, a shared image-snapshot wrapper, an sdk-utils helper and a byte-exact PNG golden track — with the escaping, error-surfacing, bounding and status-classification defects from the prior two reviews now fixed.

Review Table

Priority	Category	Check	Status	Notes
High	Security	No hardcoded secrets or credentials	Pass	None in the diff.
High	Security	Authentication/authorization checks present	Pass	Fixed. The asset server now binds 127.0.0.1 (pdf-rasterize.js:9) instead of inheriting Server's '::'. An explicit host beats PERCY_SERVER_HOST, so widening the API server cannot widen the one serving the customer's document.
High	Security	Input validation and sanitization	Pass	Scale, page selection, magic bytes and size (pre- and post-decode) validated; the escapeHtml/escapeAttr split is contextually correct and property-tested.
High	Security	No IDOR — resource ownership validated	N/A	No user-scoped identifiers on this path.
High	Security	No SQL injection (parameterized queries)	N/A	No SQL in the CLI.
High	Correctness	Logic is correct, handles edge cases	Pass	F7 fixed and confirmed by CI — snapshot.test.js:1754 passes again. F2 fixed: the pdf.js injection and destroyDocument are now raced too, so the "every in-page call" comment is finally true.
High	Correctness	Error handling is explicit, no swallowed exceptions	Pass	F6 fixed — cleanup rejections are logged rather than discarded. F13 fixed — the redundant .catch() and its incorrect rationale are gone.
High	Correctness	No race conditions or concurrency issues	Pass	Promise.race + .finally(clearTimeout) sound on all paths; a timed-out page is closed, so the shared browser is not left holding a wedged target.
Medium	Testing	New code has corresponding tests	Pass	withTimeout is exported and covered by 6 specs (timeout, naming, pass-through, early rejection, timer cleanup, no unhandled late rejection). The 100% gate passed in CI.
Medium	Testing	Error paths and edge cases tested	Pass	400-vs-500, non-Error throws, the undefined-message regression, cap boundary, apostrophe/angle-bracket URLs, loopback bind, and now every withTimeout path.
Medium	Testing	Existing tests still pass (no regressions)	Pass	Test @percy/core green (19m38s, with coverage). Test @percy/cli-exec green on both legs including Windows. 50 pass / 1 pending at time of writing; the pending check is the long-running Windows workflow.
Medium	Performance	No N+1 queries or unbounded data fetching	Fail	Open, non-blocking. F4: MAX_PAGES bounds page count, not bytes — 250 pages at the 2000px ceiling is still ~0.5-1.5GB resident. F12: the request body is buffered and JSON-parsed with no cap before the route runs.
Medium	Performance	Long-running tasks use background jobs	Fail	Open, non-blocking. F3: the timeout is per-call, so 250 pages × 30s ≈ 2h on one held-open request without tripping anything.
Medium	Quality	Follows existing codebase patterns	Pass	asInputError composes with server.js's existing let { status = 500 } = error; the new host option follows the existing constructor-options shape.
Medium	Quality	Changes are focused (single concern)	Pass	Every hunk maps to a named finding.
Low	Quality	Meaningful names, no dead code	Fail	Open, non-blocking. _parseSelection (pages.js:86) is still exported and imported nowhere.
Low	Quality	Comments explain why, not what	Fail	Open, non-blocking. F13's misleading comment is gone, but F12's still claims the pre-decode check stops a 1GB body being "buffered, JSON-parsed and decoded" — only the decode is actually prevented.
Low	Quality	No unnecessary dependencies added	Pass	None added.

Findings

No Critical or High findings remain.

Closed by e6b41084

• packages/core/src/page.js:97 (was High). remoteError gave the Error a default name, so @percy/logger — which renders a thrown Error as Error.prototype.toString and only falls back to stack at debug level — printed Error: Error: test error and dropped the remote frames a user needs to debug their own execute script. Test @percy/core was red on this. Blanking name makes toString return the CDP description verbatim, byte-identical to the string this path used to throw. Note the obvious alternative fix — parsing the name off the first line — does not work: it strips the frames and leaves the spec red.
• packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:42 (was High). withTimeout had no test on a package with a 100% coverage gate, so the fix for "no render timeout" shipped with no evidence it worked. Now exported and covered. timer.unref?.() became timer.unref() — the optional call's false branch is unreachable in Node and would have failed the branch gate by itself.
• packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:9 (was a High row). Asset server binds loopback.
• packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:86,145. The two remaining un-raced evals now go through withTimeout.
• packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js:152. Cleanup rejections logged.
• packages/core/src/pdf-rasterize.js. Dead promise.catch(() => {}) removed — Promise.race attaches handlers to every input, verified empirically.

Open, non-blocking

Medium: F3 (no aggregate request deadline), F4 (page-count cap does not bound bytes), F5 (the oversized-PDF spec allocates ~70MB and round-trips it over HTTP — it killed a local full-suite run for memory during this review, so it is not theoretical), F11 (whitespace-wrapped base64 near the limit gets a spurious 413), F12 (comment overstates what the pre-decode check closes), plus prior findings 8 (darwin-arm64 goldens unverified; ubuntu-latest is a moving image for byte-exact goldens) and 9 (240s timeout and a real browser in the unit suite).

Low: F8 (local stack discarded), F9 (JSON.stringify can throw on a cyclic thrown value), F10 (& would recur the contract break if it ever reached escapeAttr — currently unreachable), F14 (cap message misattributes the request), plus prior findings 10 (constants duplicated), 11 (UPLOAD_CLIENT_INFO, now carrying a justifying comment) and 12 (_parseSelection, no README, loadPdfModule() result discarded then re-imported).

Security-specialist reviewers remain disabled in the orchestrator, so the Security rows reflect only what the general code reviewer surfaced — not a substitute for a dedicated security pass.

Verdict: PASS

this should come from BE, else you will need to do release everytime. You can get it as part of build creation

[rishigupta1599]

maybe send it as follow up but create a ticket and link to epic
