`Tracing.*`, `Browser.*` mutators, cookie methods) is refused — so an agent can
drive the page but cannot read or clear the shared cookie jar. First cut: one

N tiles sharing one `cef_host` (one named profile) can each be agent-controlled
concurrently — one token-gated relay per tile, each pinned to its own CDP target,
all multiplexed over the single browser-wide `--remote-debugging-pipe`: inbound
traffic is scoped by `sessionId`, and browser-level commands (which carry no
`sessionId`) are disambiguated by a per-relay CDP-id rewrite, so a sibling tile's
page can be neither observed nor driven through another tile's grant (distinct
ephemeral port + token each). On host quit every `cef_host` is SIGTERM-reaped so
none is left orphaned holding a profile's Chromium `SingletonLock`.

* **Per-tile opt-in.** Nothing is exposed until you call `enableAgentControl()`; the

* **Loopback + ephemeral + single-client.** It binds `127.0.0.1` on an OS-assigned
port and accepts one client at a time. The returned `token` is validated **if a
client presents it**; agent-browser/Playwright can't attach one, so for those the
controls above are the gate. (This is strictly better than raw Chrome's fixed,
always-open, multi-client `--remote-debugging-port`. A same-UID process that wins a
sub-second race on the ephemeral port before the agent connects is the documented
residual — and on macOS same-UID is already game-over via the Keychain.)

it via `connectOverCDP({ headers })` (Playwright forwards request headers on the

// P2-step2 LIVE probe (cef-multiview PLAN Tests A + D + E) — flutter_cef side.
//
// Auto-running, headless-friendly self-test: mounts TWO CefWebViews on ONE shared
// named profile (an isolated 'p2probe' — deliberately NOT Campus's real 'campus-web'
// so it can't touch a running Campus's profile/cookie jar) with agentControl, then —
// with no user interaction — enables agent-control on BOTH and drives a real CDP
// isolation check over the two brokered relays. Results are written to
// /tmp/cef_multiview_probe.json and printed as a `CEF_PROBE_RESULT …` line.
//
// Run (cef_host must be built; CEF cached):
// FLUTTER_CEF_HOST=<.../cef_host.app/Contents/MacOS/cef_host> \
// flutter run -d macos -t lib/multiview_probe.dart (or build + launch the binary)
//
// What it proves live (the unit boundary is already covered by CdpRelayFilterTests):
// A. two views on one named profile both create on ONE shared cef_host (verify
// `pgrep -f cef_host` == one host for the profile while this runs).
// D. enableAgentControl on both yields TWO grants with DISTINCT ports + tokens.
// E. each relay's Target.getTargets returns ONLY its own target (A can't see B),
// and presenting tile A's token to tile B's port is rejected.
// F. concurrency + lifecycle: enabling both CONCURRENTLY brings up two isolated
// relays (the per-browserId dict, not the P1 scalar); disabling A kills only
// A's grant (its endpoint goes dead) while B keeps driving; re-enabling A mints
// a FRESH port+token and the torn-down grant stays dead (no reuse).
//
// Not covered here — reader-stall isolation (PLAN Test G, the SO_SNDTIMEO reaping of
// a wedged client + no sibling starvation): a faithful repro needs a real CDP driver
// that completes the flatten auto-attach handshake and drives pipe-routed commands
// (this probe's Target.getTargets is synthesized client-side and bypasses the shared
// reader, and stalling the client precludes reading the sessionId needed to generate
// pipe traffic). That belongs on the canvas side, driven by agent-browser over two
// real tiles.
