Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to The browser-routed WebDriver change still silently accepts unknown completion IDs, which can hide malformed peer responses and complicate command handling; the PR is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner follow-up on this bounded protocol risk. 🚥 Pre-merge checks | ✅ 3✅ Passed checks (3 passed)

ViewImplementation described the navigation in flight across four parallel fields plus a separate pending WebDriver navigation with its own id counter, reconciled at every start, cancel, finish, and crash site, with WebContentClient matching report identity through friend field access. Fold them into one optional record: the load carrying the navigation, and the completion arc WebDriver waits on. The two keep their real lifetimes - the load half ends when it finishes or is canceled, the uncommitted facet ends at queued finalization, and an arc can outlive its load. Report matching moves into the view.
The driver's only view of a session's windows has been the per window WebContent sockets. A window existed once its process connected and announced a handle, and a dropped connection meant the window was gone unless a replacement had been _predicted_. Process swaps therefore needed a pre-announced prediction to survive, and an unpredicted swap or crash could silently remove the window. Give each session a second endpoint the browser process itself connects to, and make the browser authoritative for window lifetime. It reports each window when the UI assigns its handle and when the window closes. A dropped WebContent connection now only means the window's process went away, and the window waits for its next connection. The browser connection dropping ends the session. This retires the driver's awaiting replacement bookkeeping. Commands that deliberately replace the current window's process drop the doomed connection and wait for the replacement to attach, and switching to a freshly created window waits for its first connection instead of failing while the process is still starting.
The browser process now reports window creation and closure over its own WebDriver connection, so the driver no longer infers closure from per-window WebContent sockets. Remove the close-window message and its plumbing. Keep the process- replacement notification temporarily: history commands still use the replaceable WebContent connection until the next commit.
Back, Forward, and the session-history test extensions used to bounce through WebContent. The driver sent the command to WebContent, which asked the UI to run the traversal it cannot perform itself, and the UI reflected the completion back through WebContent to the driver. Send these commands over the browser connection instead. The UI runs the traversal against canonical session history and answers the driver directly, so the reflection protocol and its parked request ids go away. The specification's handle-any-user-prompts step still runs in WebContent, where the dialog state lives. It moves into LibWeb and the UI dispatches it as a job ahead of the traversal, with the annotated error returned as the command response. A WebContent crash during that job now fails the command instead of leaving the driver waiting.
Navigate To, Refresh, waiting for navigation completion, and the load-url test extension move from WebContent commands to the browser connection. The UI issues the navigation the same way a WebContent-initiated one arrives, so its bookkeeping still follows the started-load report, and waits park on the ongoing navigation record in the process that owns it instead of round-tripping through the process being navigated away from. This deletes the machinery that existed because those commands ran in the replaceable process. The will-replace prediction on Navigate To, the navigation pre-announcement, the parked wait requests and their completion reflection, and the replacement notification whose only remaining job was flushing the in-flight command arc. The session's current browsing context lives in WebContent, so a successful navigation resets it through a fire-and-forget message; a replacement process starts at the top-level context anyway. Get Current URL stays in WebContent with the other document reads: the UI's URL replica only settles at queued finalization, which is too late for a fragment navigation a command just performed.
The driver already stores the merged timeouts configuration whenever Set Timeouts runs, so reading it back through WebContent only re-read the same data from the replica that exists for script timeouts.
The driver still held a socket into every window's WebContent process for element, script, cookie, action, and window commands, attached by a handle announcement and re-established around every process replacement. This was the last WebDriver path that bypassed the process which owns the session's windows. Relay those commands over the browser connection instead. The driver sends one generic command which the UI routes it to the process hosting the window and WebContent executes it against its documents exactly as before. Session configuration becomes UI-owned state pushed to every WebContent process at initialization, so replacement processes are configured the same way the original was. WebContent creates a page's WebDriver session on first use rather than when a socket connects. This deletes the WebDriverClient/WebDriverServer endpoint pair, the driver's per-window connections and socket servers, and the attach and wait machinery around them. A WebContent crash now fails the in-flight command instead of hanging the driver, and new-window type validation errors reach the driver instead of being lost with the placeholder response.
Blocked crash recovery tests previously waited for the crash-current-page command to reach the 10-second page-load timeout before releasing their HTTP responses. Four expected timeouts used about 40 seconds and left sanitizer CI little headroom under the 120-second test limit. Add an optional no-wait mode to the test-only crash endpoint. The affected tests now return once the replacement process has started session-history recovery, then synchronize with explicit recovery and document events. The default endpoint behavior still waits for navigation completion. This reduces the local release runtime from about 54.5 seconds to 13.4 seconds.

The WebDriver process held a direct IPC socket into every WebContent process,
established at window creation and re-established around every process replacement.
This was problematic in a few ways:
process on cross-site navigation. Each swap killed the driver's own
connection mid-command, and a pile of special cases existed only to
survive that: replacement prediction, awaiting-replacement window
states, pending-connection parking, re-attach waits.
driver → WebContent → UI → WebContent → driver, even though the UI
process owns the canonical session history, the navigation queue,
and the in-flight navigation state.
closure from socket closure.
The driver now instead holds one connection, to the browser process.
The browser process then answers for canonical state it already
has and if a step needs to touch live documents it will route that command
to execute in WebContent.
