Estimated code review effort: 4 (Complex) | ~45 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to PDF export now runs through Chromium and CDP, but an unsuccessful page-readiness condition can leave an export running indefinitely.

Inline comments:
In `@Dockerfile`:
- Line 41: Update the Dockerfile runtime stage to install the missing Chromium
dependencies libnspr4 and libnss3 before copying headless-shell, or switch the
runner base to headless-shell while preserving the existing PDF export setup.
In
`@quarkdown-html-pdf/src/main/kotlin/com/quarkdown/rendering/html/pdf/cdp/ChromiumInteraction.kt`:
- Line 69: Move the browser.start call in ChromiumInteraction into the existing
try block so startup failures still reach the cleanup path; preserve the finally
block that deletes the profile directory.
- Around line 67-87: The withPage startup flow must bound
awaitDevToolsAnnouncement so a Chromium process that emits no matching DevTools
announcement cannot block indefinitely. Apply the existing startup-timeout
mechanism around awaitDevToolsAnnouncement, while preserving the current process
cleanup in finally and allowing normal discovery to proceed unchanged.
In
`@quarkdown-html-pdf/src/main/kotlin/com/quarkdown/rendering/html/pdf/ChromiumPdfGeneratorScript.kt`:
- Around line 82-84: Bound the readiness polling loop in
ChromiumPdfGeneratorScript so it stops after a defined timeout and fails PDF
export when window.isReady() never returns true, ensuring the local server is
not left active. Add or update a test covering permanently unsuccessful
readiness and the resulting failure.
In
`@quarkdown-html-pdf/src/main/kotlin/com/quarkdown/rendering/html/pdf/HtmlPdfExporter.kt`:
- Line 25: Move ChromiumWrapper and ChromiumPdfGeneratorScript construction into
the existing try block in HtmlPdfExporter, ensuring failures from blank or
invalid options.browserPath are handled by the exporter’s failure path instead
of escaping before it. Preserve the current successful export flow and failure
handling behavior.
In `@quarkdown-interaction/src/main/kotlin/com/quarkdown/interaction/Env.kt`:
- Line 24: Update the QUARKDOWN_BROWSER_PATH getter in Env to return null when
the environment value is blank, while preserving non-blank values. This allows
ChromiumWrapper.defaultPath to use its existing fallback before
ChromiumWrapper.validate() rejects the configuration.

- Around line 127-130: Update the startup polling logic around reader.ready()
and DevToolsEndpoint.wsUrlFromLogLine so readLine() cannot block when only
partial browser output is available: accumulate incomplete text across polls,
parse only newline-terminated lines, and retain the partial remainder for the
next poll while preserving the startup deadline. Add a regression test covering
a live browser that emits an unterminated line.

In @.run/CLI_ Mock.run.xml:
- Line 4: Remove the QD_BROWSER_PATH environment override from the shared CLI:
Mock run configuration so browser discovery can use the chrome-headless-shell
PATH fallback; alternatively, make this override local to macOS-specific
configuration rather than applying it across platforms.

Quarkdown no longer uses Node.js, npm, and Puppeteer for PDF export: it drives a Chromium-family browser directly (iamgio/quarkdown#655). The scripts now download chrome-headless-shell from Chrome for Testing at the version pinned by the release's bundled chrome-version.txt (falling back to the latest stable for releases without the pin), and wire it via the QD_BROWSER_PATH environment variable in the wrappers. Removed: Node.js/npm detection and package manager installs, the --no-pm/-NoPM and --puppeteer-prefix/-PuppeteerPrefix options. Co-Authored-By: Claude Fable 5 <noreply@anthropic.com>

The formula now downloads chrome-headless-shell from Chrome for Testing in post_install (after Homebrew's relocation pass, which would corrupt the browser's signed Mach-O binaries, like the stashed runtime), at the version pinned by the release's bundled chrome-version.txt, and wires it via QD_BROWSER_PATH in the CLI wrapper.
