BugseeSecure: publish only the visible part, withdraw while hidden

[krassx]

Fixes #86

<BugseeSecure> now publishes only what is on screen. It withdraws while a react-native-screens screen above it is inactive. Coverage is added at once and removed only after a hold, and the per-frame cost is bounded by what moves.

Behaviour

• Clip. The view's measureInWindow rectangle is cut to every clipping ancestor:

  • a ScrollView host (RCTScrollView, AndroidHorizontalScrollView), unless it is styled overflow: 'visible';
  • any host styled overflow: 'hidden'.

  The walk stops at every boundary, and nothing above a boundary clips or hides what is inside it. Boundaries are RootNodeKind hosts (RCTModalHostView, RCTInputAccessoryView, RNSFullWindowOverlay, RNSModalScreen, RNSSplitScreen), RNSFormSheetHost, and any HostPortal.

• Hide. A view is hidden only when a screen above it has a committed activityState of 0. "Screen" means RNSScreen, or the RNSModalScreen the view is in.

  • The nearest host above that screen must be RNSScreenContainer, RNSScreenNavigationContainer or RNSScreenStack.
  • An Animated activityState on the wrapper counts as visible.
  • display: 'none' and hidden <Activity> content need no rule here: Fabric lays them out 0×0 in the shadow tree, so nothing is published for them.

• Committed props. Each read resolves the stored ancestor path top-down from the fiber root's current tree, taking whichever fiber of each pair is in the committed child list. It never reads render-phase canonical.currentProps. If the path cannot be resolved, or a props read throws, nothing is hidden or clipped.

• Hold: add coverage at once, remove it late. It runs on performance.now(), with a Date.now() fallback, so a wall-clock jump ends no hold early.

  • Shadow-tree evidence leads native drawing: a frame or more, and a LayoutAnimation only takes effect at its end.
  • So an instance publishes what it covers now, plus what it stopped covering within SECURE_SHRINK_HOLD_MS (500 ms, exported). The held part is stored as one bounding box per 100 ms window.
  • A hidden view withdraws only after being hidden for that long without a break. Growth is never delayed.
  • Unmount and enabled={false} still clear at once.
  • What is held is what the view covered, not the path between positions. A native animation that carries a view further than its own size in one step draws positions that neither rectangle covers. Main covers them no better.

• Bounded cost. Each instance is in one of four modes:

  Mode	When	How it is re-measured
  tick	wholly visible	every 100 ms, as on main
  active	moving, just shown, or newly clipped	every frame, until it has stayed put for STEADY_FRAMES (10) frames
  parked	clipped and still	its clipping hosts (each ScrollView and its content container, or an overflow: hidden view) are watched once per frame, shared by every view under them. A move, a viewport change, or a change to a clipper's props (by identity, both fibers) wakes it within that frame. Each frame it also asks whether its screens hide it (once per screen per frame). Every tick re-checks every parked view by measuring the view alone
  hidden	under an inactive screen	each frame asks only whether its screens still hide it (once per screen per frame), and it is measured the frame they stop

  In addition:

  • Every tick and every frame runs as one measure pass. A shared ancestor is measured once, a parent's children are collected once (no O(n²) sibling scan), and every changed lane is published once at the end (publishTogether). A lane whose publish failed is published again by the next tick or frame.
  • A newly watched node is measured at once, to set its baseline.
  • The registry returns at once for an owner republishing exactly what it holds.

• No native changes. check-rn-compat.sh (0.81–0.87) guards the React and React Native internals this relies on.

Budgets the test asserts:

• Release: p95 < 2 ms for every mode, per tick and per frame.
• Debug, 20-view modes: p95 < 2 ms.
• Debug, per frame (every mode): stays under budget.
• Debug, "many" per tick: p95 < 4 ms, a scoped budget rather than a loosened one.
  • Every tick re-checks every parked view by measuring that view alone. That is the same per-view, per-tick self-measure main makes for every view; React's Debug build spends about 12 µs on each.
  • Main, on the same 200 views, takes 153 ms (Debug) and 70 ms (Release) at p95 per tick, because its registry re-flattened every owner's union for every owner.

Notes:

• Outliers: one Debug run had single-frame outliers (10 ms and 19.6 ms max) in the scrolling and clipped frame modes. Their p95 stayed at 1.6–1.7 ms; the other run's max was 2.3–2.8 ms.
• Thread: all of this work runs on the JS thread. Fabric's measureInWindow reads the shadow tree synchronously, so there is no UI-thread or render work.

Known limitations and trade-offs

• Native overflow changes are not seen. An overflow changed natively (setNativeProps, or a native-driven style) does not reach the committed React props this reads. This gap has existed since round 1.
• Wake storm. Re-renders of a clipper wake every parked view under it in that frame, because the clipper's props are compared by identity. Frequent re-renders above a ScrollView therefore keep its parked views re-measuring every frame. This is accepted.
• Hold trail. The hold leaves up to about 600 ms of trailing coverage behind a moving view. That over-masks, and may drop taps near the old position for that long.
• Path between positions. What is held is what the view covered, not the path between positions. A native animation that moves a view further than its own size in one step draws positions that neither rectangle covers. Main covers them no better.
• Failed publishes. A lane whose publish keeps failing is retried once per tick and warned about once until it next publishes.

Tests

• Unit: src/secure passes with 100% coverage. Root yarn test, lint and typecheck pass.
• Mutation: Stryker scores 100% on ancestry, BugseeSecure, hold, measureLoop and tracker. registry.ts keeps one pre-existing equivalent mutant.
• Review regressions:
  • Round-4 re-review: a lane whose batched publish keeps failing is retried once per tick (not every frame) and warned about once per outage. The tests fail on 7fa64b1.
  • Round 4 (BugseeSecure.round4.test.tsx: R1, R2, a ScrollView whose overflow becomes visible, a wall-clock jump, and a failed publish on a lane of parked views; plus measureLoop tests for baseline and props identity, and registry retry tests): all fail on 51c6024.
  • Cursor review of ef6cb4c: a parked view under a screen that goes inactive, and a parked view whose viewport grows. Both tests fail on ef6cb4c and are fixed in 51c6024.
  • Round 3 (BugseeSecure.round3.test.tsx, plus tests in hold, tracker, ancestry, measureLoop and registry): 10 of the first 14 component tests fail on 42eb416; the other 4 are controls. A 15th (a layout event on a parked view) was added later and was not run against 42eb416.
  • Round 2: per-frame follow of a scroll into view.
  • Round 1 (BugseeSecure.review.test.tsx): one test per finding.
• e2e: secure-visible.test.ts (api24) passes 6/6.
• Device check: the coordinator's playground run (RN 0.87, Expo Router, react-native-screens 4.26.2, Release, API 36) on 42eb416 behaves as designed. The remaining dropped taps come from the native SDK's secure-field rectangles (bugsee-android#269).

Deep review of 9a44bd4 — <BugseeSecure> now clips to ScrollView / overflow: 'hidden' ancestors and withdraws on display: 'none', RNSScreen activityState === 0, or a hidden Offscreen. I read the new ancestry walk against surface.ts, the registry skip, measureLoop, react-native-screens' Fabric host names, and the existing secure tests. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, mutation shards, and rn compat 0.81–0.87 are green on this HEAD.

Findings

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide

Location: packages/react-native/src/secure/ancestry.ts:167
Problem: Inactive-screen withdrawal is keyed on fiber.type === 'RNSScreen' only.
Impact: The #86 class of bug (a mounted-but-hidden screen keeps masking, and on Android dropping taps on, whatever is shown there) still happens for every iOS react-native-screens modal presentation.
Scenario: InnerScreen in react-native-screens 4.x renders codegenNativeComponent('RNSModalScreen') whenever stackPresentation is modal / transparentModal / fullScreenModal / formSheet / pageSheet (iOS only; Android stays on RNSScreen). Those hosts still carry activityState. A second modal (or a full-screen modal over a card) leaves the first mounted at activityState === 0. Screens modals are not RCTModalHostView, so the rectangle is published on the main surface — the same lane as the screen the user can see. The walk finds the host, reads activityState: 0, and then ignores it because the type is RNSModalScreen.
Fix: Treat screen hosts as a set (RNSScreen, RNSModalScreen), same pattern as SCROLL_HOST_TYPES. Cover RNSModalScreen + activityState 0→2 in the ancestry / visible tests.

Residual (not a finding)

• JS @react-navigation/stack cards that only fade to opacity: 0 are still treated as visible. That matches the stated "positive evidence only" rule; treating opacity as hidden would unmask during a fade.
• display: 'none' e2e is a weak guard for the issue's tab case (Yoga already lays that subtree out at 0×0 on main). The RNSScreen path is unit-tested only, as the PR says.
• One CI job, pack install (0.81, ios), is red; I could not retrieve that log, so I am not treating it as a defect in this diff.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Medium
2. Merge recommendation: Request changes
3. Fix before merge: Recognize RNSModalScreen as a screen host for activityState.
4. What works: ScrollView viewport clip (including nested / Android horizontal), committed props via canonical.currentProps rather than a stale fiber, Offscreen via the shared _visibility bit, fail-closed unclipped on a bad ancestor measure, registry skip that still retries a failed publish and a pixel-ratio change, one measure per shared clipper per tick. The 0.81–0.87 compat greps for canonical.currentProps, the OffscreenVisible clear, and the ScrollView host names are the right pins.

Re-review of 3114dc0 (prior assessment was 9a44bd4). I re-read ancestry.ts, BugseeSecure.tsx, measureLoop.ts, registry.ts, surface.ts, the new review/visible/ancestry tests, check-rn-compat.sh, and react-native-screens 4.26 InnerScreen (shouldUseModalScreenComponent → RNSModalScreen on iOS modal presentations). I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, and pack install (0.81, ios) are green on this HEAD (the last of those was red on the previous assessment).

Prior finding

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is fully addressed in 3114dc0. RNSModalScreen is collected as a boundary screen host: it hides on a committed activityState === 0 with the same current-fiber + Animated-wrapper rules as RNSScreen, it never clips (host.boundary), and the walk still ends there so nothing above it (including a covered parent RNSScreen) can hide or clip what is inside. Covered by ancestry.test.ts (0 hides, 2 does not, Animated does not, never clips) and BugseeSecure.review.test.tsx (withdrawn while inactive, back within a frame).

Findings

No remaining P0–P3. I tried to break committed-path resolve (WIP/canonical vs root.current), StyleSheet overflow (on 0.81+ StyleSheet.create is identity, so object styles work), activityState 1 under a transparent modal (screens keep that screen at 1, not 0, so it stays masked), freeze/Offscreen (layout already 0×0 except a frozen RNSScreen, which they still mask when activityState is 2), and clip-to-stored-fiber vs resolved fiber (Fabric host stateNode/canonical is shared across the pair; the public instance is cached on first lookup).

Residual (not a finding)

• An activityState that is an Animated node still stays masked, by the stated “positive committed evidence only” rule. Older @react-navigation/bottom-tabs versions that interpolated activityState with Animated would keep the #86 over-mask; current number-valued 0/1/2 (including the Expo Router tabs they dogfooded) withdraw.
• JS @react-navigation/stack cards that only fade to opacity: 0 are still treated as visible.
• display: 'none' e2e is still a weak stand-in for the inactive-tab case; the RNSScreen / RNSModalScreen path is unit-tested.
• surface.ts still maps only RCTModalHostView. An active RNSModalScreen (formSheet / pageSheet) publishes measureInWindow coords, which stop at that RootNodeKind, on MAIN_SURFACE. That coordinate mismatch is pre-existing, not introduced by clipping.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Low
2. Merge recommendation: Approve
3. Fix before merge: none
4. What works: ScrollView viewport clip (nested + Android horizontal, overflow: 'visible' opt-out), committed-fiber resolve instead of in-flight canonical.currentProps, fail-closed unclipped on a bad ancestor measure, registry skip that still retries a failed publish and a pixel-ratio change, shared clipper measure per tick, rAF remask within a frame of showing, and RNSModalScreen as a hide-only boundary.

Re-review of 42eb416 (prior assessments: 9a44bd4, then 3114dc0). Round 2 (d583114 + 42eb416) puts a clipped (or fully clipped-away) instance on a shared per-frame loop and skips the 100 ms tick while it is there, so a part scrolling into view is masked within a frame instead of staying unmasked until the next tick.

I re-read BugseeSecure.tsx, measureLoop.ts, ancestry.ts, registry.ts, surface.ts, the fiber public-instance path, check-rn-compat.sh, issue #86, and the new review / visible / measureLoop / e2e tests. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, pack-install, playground, android, and iOS unit/e2e are green on this HEAD. Two mutation (src) shards were still running when I posted.

Prior finding

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is still fully addressed. RNSModalScreen remains a hide-only boundary (host.screen && host.boundary): committed activityState === 0 withdraws, Animated wrappers do not, it never clips, and the walk still ends there.

Round 2 (what I tried to break)

The shared frame loop is the new risk surface. I could not construct a production failure:

• Join/leave. Clipped → addFrameMeasurer; wholly visible → remover + everyFrame = null. Hidden uses the same loop and still skips measureInWindow. Tick wrapper is everyFrame.current === null, so a clipped view is not measured twice. Covered by BugseeSecure.review.test.tsx (enter viewport in one frame, horizontal-only clip, leave once wholly visible, skip the tick, many views one callback / one pass) and measureLoop.test.ts (shared rAF, last-leave cancel, leave-during-frame, throw isolation, timer fallback, frame beside tick).
• Lifecycle of cancelFrame. frame() clears it at the start of the running callback, so removing the last measurer mid-pass does not cancel the in-flight frame, and the post-pass size > 0 check is what schedules the next one. Adding during a pass (??=) cannot double-register; a new instance after stop starts the loop again.
• Hidden → visible → clipped in one callback stays on the loop; clipped → hidden keeps the existing registration and becomes props-only. Unmount/enabled={false} always removes both loops and clearOwner.
• Fail-closed is unchanged: unreadable path, throwing props, late/non-finite ancestor, 0/0/0/0 ancestor → unclipped / not hidden. A NaN self-measure still keeps the last rectangle.
• Registry skip still retries a failed publish and a pixel-ratio change; per-frame republish of an unchanged rect is a comparison only.

Findings

No remaining P0–P3.

Residual (not a finding)

• A wholly visible instance still lives on the 100 ms tick, so the first pixels of a scroll out (and an activityState 0 tab switch of a fully on-screen field) can lag by up to a tick. That is the stated trade: a margin, or putting every instance on rAF, is how #86’s tab-bar over-mask would come back. Native pull is ~350 ms; clipped / withdrawn paths are now within a frame.
• overflow: 'scroll' on a non-ScrollView host is still not treated as clipping (overflow === 'hidden' only). ScrollView already uses overflow !== 'visible', matching getClipsContentToBounds(). A plain View with overflow: 'scroll' (NativeWind overflow-scroll) is uncommon.
• Animated activityState, JS stack opacity: 0 cards, display: 'none' e2e as a weak tab stand-in, and RNSModalScreen formSheet coords on MAIN_SURFACE are unchanged from the last review.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Low
2. Merge recommendation: Approve
3. Fix before merge: none
4. What works: Viewport clip (nested / Android horizontal / overflow: 'visible' opt-out), committed-fiber resolve, RNSModalScreen as a hide-only boundary, fail-closed unclipped on a bad ancestor, registry skip that still retries, shared clipper measure per pass, and the new shared rAF loop so a clipped region follows a scroll into view within a frame without paying that cost once it is wholly on screen.

Re-review of ef6cb4c (prior assessments: 9a44bd4, 3114dc0, then 42eb416). Round 3 (ec4913f + 9437b9a + perf/comment follow-ups) adds shrink-late hold, a tick/active/parked/hidden tracker, shared clip-node watches, parked-turn rechecks, and publishTogether.

I re-read tracker.ts, hold.ts, ancestry.ts, measureLoop.ts, registry.ts, BugseeSecure.tsx, surface.ts, round-1/2/3 tests, and the clipWatchNodes / parked-loop tests against issue #86. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, pack-install, and playground android/typecheck are green on this HEAD. iOS e2e, android, and several mutation shards were still running when I posted.

Prior finding

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is still fully addressed. RNSModalScreen remains a hide-only boundary: committed activityState === 0 under a screens container withdraws, Animated wrappers do not, it never clips, and the walk still ends there.

Findings

Round 3 parks a clipped, still instance and drops its frame callback. Round 2 measured every clipped view every frame, so isHidden and clip-ancestor bounds were re-read continuously. Parked mode only wakes if the view's own measureInWindow changes or a watched content node moves. That is deaf to the two #86 signals that do not move those nodes.

P1 — a parked view never re-checks inactive screens

Location: packages/react-native/src/secure/tracker.ts:153
A clipped field on a still-mounted tab stays published after activityState goes to 0. Details in the inline comment.

P1 — a parked view never sees its ScrollView viewport change

Location: packages/react-native/src/secure/ancestry.ts:371
clipWatchNodes watches the content container, not the clipper. KeyboardAvoidingView / adjustResize can reveal or cover the field with no self-rect change. Details in the inline comment.

Residual (not a finding)

• Wholly-visible instances still live on the 100 ms tick (stated trade vs #86 over-mask).
• Hold of 500 ms after a tick-mode tab switch is the stated shrink-late policy; it over-masks the incoming screen for that long, then withdraws. Parked is worse: it never withdraws.
• RNSFormSheetHost is a clip/hide boundary and does not read experimental isOpen. Common stackPresentation: 'formSheet' still goes through RNSModalScreen.
• Animated activityState, JS stack opacity: 0 cards, and formSheet coords on MAIN_SURFACE are unchanged.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Medium
2. Merge recommendation: Request changes
3. Fix before merge: Parked views must re-check screens (cheap screensHide, same cache as hidden) and must watch the ScrollView host as well as its content.
4. What works: Committed-fiber resolve, RNSModalScreen hide-only boundary, fail-closed unclipped on a bad ancestor, hold's add-now/remove-late for instances that still measure, publishTogether, sibling-list scan once a pass, and the 200-view parked cost bound — once parking actually wakes on hide and viewport.

Re-review of 51c6024 (prior assessments: 9a44bd4, 3114dc0, 42eb416, ef6cb4c). 51c6024 puts parked views back on the shared frame loop for screensHide only, and clipWatchNodes now watches every clipping host plus a ScrollView's content container.

I re-read tracker.ts (onFrame / enter / next / watch), ancestry.ts (clipWatchNodes, screensHide, isHidden, screenHides), measureLoop.ts (watch-then-frame order), hold.ts, registry.ts, BugseeSecure.tsx, the new round3/tracker/ancestry cases, and the #86 inactive-tab / keyboard-viewport scenarios the last review used. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, pack-install, android, and iOS unit/e2e are green on this HEAD. Playground iOS and several mutation shards were still running when I posted.

Prior findings

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is still fully addressed (RNSModalScreen remains a hide-only boundary).

P1 — parked views never re-check activityState is fully addressed in 51c6024. Parked stays on addFrameMeasurer; onFrame runs screensHide (cached once per screen per pass, immediate false with no screen) and measure()s the frame it is true, which holds then enters hidden. Frame order is watchNodes then measurers, so a same-frame clip move still unparks and measures. Covered by BugseeSecure.round3.test.tsx (parked → inactive screen → [] after the hold; fails on ef6cb4c) and tracker.test.ts (parked, the frame its screens hide it…).

P1 — parked views never see ScrollView viewport growth is fully addressed in 51c6024. clipWatchNodes returns [content, clipper] for a scrolling host and [clipper] otherwise, so a viewport resize with a still content container wakes within a frame. Covered by BugseeSecure.round3.test.tsx (a parked view follows its ScrollView viewport growing, within a frame).

Findings

No remaining P0–P3. I tried to break: parked screensHide vs isHidden (hidden is decided in measure() after the screen signal, so a true hide still holds then withdraws); watch-then-enter('active') then same-pass onFrame measure; overflow:hidden hosts (already self-watched); enter('tick') now assuming a frame registration (every non-tick mode has one; stop() from tick is a no-op); Paper/async self-measure (hide still short-circuits before measureInWindow); hold expiry while parked (tick still republishes publishable until holding() is false).

Residual (not a finding)

• Wholly-visible instances still live on the 100 ms tick (stated trade vs #86 over-mask).
• Animated activityState, JS stack opacity: 0 cards, and formSheet coords on MAIN_SURFACE are unchanged.
• Parked now pays a cheap per-instance screensHide plus one extra shared measureInWindow of each ScrollView host per frame; the 200-view e2e budget is the check, and unit tests still assert the view itself is not re-measured while parked.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Low
2. Merge recommendation: Approve
3. Fix before merge: none
4. What works: Viewport clip, committed-fiber resolve, RNSModalScreen hide-only boundary, shrink-late hold, publishTogether, parked cost bound, and the two round-4 holes: inactive-tab withdraw from parked, and keyboard/viewport growth while parked.

Re-review of 7fa64b1 (prior assessments: 9a44bd4, 3114dc0, 42eb416, ef6cb4c, 51c6024). Round 4 wakes a parked view when a clipper’s committed props change (overflow that stops clipping moves nothing), and the tick re-checks every parked view rather than 32 at a time.

I re-read tracker.ts, measureLoop.ts (watchNodes / propsOf / checkParked / watchNode baseline), ancestry.ts (clipWatchNodes, screensHide, refresh), hold.ts, registry.ts (publishTogether + failed), BugseeSecure.tsx, round-3/4 tests, and the #86 inactive-tab / keyboard-viewport / overflow-visible scenarios. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, pack-install, android, iOS unit/e2e, and playground android/js are green on this HEAD. A few mutation shards and playground iOS were still running when I posted.

Prior findings

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is still fully addressed (RNSModalScreen remains a hide-only boundary).

P1 — parked views never re-check activityState is still fully addressed. Parked stays on addFrameMeasurer; onFrame runs screensHide and measure()s the frame it is true.

P1 — parked views never see ScrollView viewport growth is still fully addressed. clipWatchNodes still returns [content, clipper] for a scrolling host.

Round 4

R1 (overflow: visible while parked) is fully addressed. watchNodes compares both fibers’ memoizedProps by identity, then enter('active') runs before the same pass’s onFrame measure(), which re-reads refresh() / clipToAncestors. Covered by BugseeSecure.round4.test.tsx (View and ScrollView; author: failed on 51c6024).

R2 (32 parked checks / tick) is fully addressed. checkParked now measures every parked instance each tick. Covered by the 200-view layout-shift case (ms <= 116) and the round-3 test now expecting 40/40.

The P3s land: a new watch baselines whereNow immediately; hold uses monotonicNow() (performance.now, Date.now only if it is missing); a lane whose batched publish threw is in the next publishTogether even if nothing on it changed.

I tried to break: WIP memoizedProps identity waking then resolve()/refresh() still reading root.current (extra active frames, not a leak); onTick hold-publish then checkParked in one publishTogether; failed tick publish retried by the next frame because parked is already on that loop; screensHide still the only parked hide signal (overflow is the watch, not the screen check).

Findings

No remaining P0–P3.

Residual (not a finding)

• Wholly-visible instances still live on the 100 ms tick (stated trade vs #86 over-mask).
• Animated activityState, JS stack opacity: 0 cards, overflow: 'scroll'/'clip' on a non-ScrollView host, and formSheet coords on MAIN_SURFACE are unchanged.
• Any commit that replaces a watched clipper’s props object (including an unrelated parent re-render) wakes parked descendants for STEADY_FRAMES frames. That is the stated overflow-detection rule, not a leak; the 200-view still case stays cheap per frame.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Low
2. Merge recommendation: Approve
3. Fix before merge: none
4. What works: Viewport clip, committed-fiber resolve, RNSModalScreen hide-only boundary, shrink-late hold, publishTogether with failed-lane retry, parked screen check, viewport watch, and the two round-4 holes: clipper overflow: 'visible' while parked, and a layout shift of one of many parked views within a tick.

Stale comment

Re-review of 58dc051 (prior assessment 7fa64b1). Two follow-ups: Debug 200-view tick budget scoped to 4 ms (5f4dfbd), and failed batched lanes retried by the tick only, with one warning per lane per outage (58dc051).

I re-read registry.ts publishTogether(changes, retryFailed), measureLoop.ts (tick passes true, frames do not), the new registry/measureLoop tests, the round-4 parked failed-publish case, and the JSDoc note on native-driven overflow. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). CI on this HEAD was still starting when I posted.

Prior findings

P2 — iOS modal screens, P1 — parked activityState, P1 — parked viewport growth, R1 — overflow: visible while parked, and R2 — every parked view each tick are still fully addressed. Hold remains monotonicNow(); parked still screensHides every frame.

This push

Failed-lane retry no longer rides every publishTogether (that was every frame while anything was parked or hidden). The tick still retries, so a parked lane whose last publish threw is sent again within 100 ms even if nothing moved — inside the SDK pull interval, and the round-4 test still expects the retry on a tick. A frame that actually changes the lane still publishes it in that pass. A later successful change is not native-called again by the next retry (registry skip); failed can keep the lane until that tick, which then skip-publishes. One warning per outage is keyed per display:surface.

The 4 ms Debug budget for 200 still clipped views matches the new O(n) parked self-measure (they cite ~2.5 ms / 12 µs per view); Release and all frame modes stay on the 2 ms / 0.5 ms bars. Main on the same 200 was far slower.

I tried to break: nested publishTogether dropping retryFailed (tick is not nested in a frame); a change-publish of a failed lane leaving it in failed until the next tick (skip, not a double native write); a new surface failing on a display that already has a warned lane (second warning, covered).

Findings

No remaining P0–P3.

Residual (not a finding)

• Wholly-visible 100 ms tick, Animated activityState, JS stack opacity: 0, overflow: 'scroll'/'clip' on a non-ScrollView, formSheet coords on MAIN_SURFACE, and native-driven overflow (setNativeProps) — the last now documented on BugseeSecure.

Verdict

1. Overall risk: Low
2. Merge recommendation: Approve
3. Fix before merge: none
4. What works: Same as 7fa64b1, plus tick-only failed-lane retry and one warn per outage so a down bridge does not log or republish every frame.

Re-review of 58dc051 (prior assessments: 9a44bd4, 3114dc0, 42eb416, ef6cb4c, 51c6024, 7fa64b1). This HEAD retries a failed batched publish once per tick (not every frame) and warns once per lane per outage.

I re-read registry.ts (publishTogether / failed / warned), measureLoop.ts (tick vs frame), tracker.ts (onTick / onFrame / checkParked / watch), ancestry.ts (screensHide, clipWatchNodes, clipToAncestors, committed-path resolve), hold.ts, BugseeSecure.tsx, the round-3/4 and registry retry tests, and the #86 inactive-tab / scrolled-under-tab-bar / keyboard-viewport / overflow-visible cases. I did not run the suite locally (no node_modules in this checkout). GitHub lint, typecheck, unit, rn compat 0.81–0.87, pack-install, android, and iOS unit/e2e are green on this HEAD. A few mutation shards and playground iOS were still running when I posted.

Prior findings

P2 — iOS modal screens never hide is still fully addressed (RNSModalScreen remains a hide-only boundary).

P1 — parked views never re-check activityState is still fully addressed. Parked stays on addFrameMeasurer; onFrame runs screensHide and measure()s the frame it is true.

P1 — parked views never see ScrollView viewport growth is still fully addressed. clipWatchNodes watches the clipping host and a ScrollView's content.

Round 4 (R1/R2 at 7fa64b1) is still fully addressed: watched clippers compare both fibers' props identity; every parked view is re-checked every tick; new watches baseline immediately; hold uses performance.now.

58dc051 (what I tried to break)

The round-4 retry ran on every publishTogether, so every frame, and warned every time. I could not construct a production failure of the tick-only retry:

• Tick vs frame. tick() passes retryFailed: true; frame() does not. A frame that changes the lane still publishes it through publishOrDefer. A parked, non-holding lane whose last batched publish threw is retried on the next tick (≤100 ms), under the SDK's ~350 ms pull.
• Copy-then-clear. Failed lanes are copied into deferred before changes(), then failed is replaced. A throwing changes() still publishes in finally (covered). A later change that already reached the bridge is not published again by the retry (sameList skip).
• Warn once per outage. warned is per display:surface. A new surface on a display that is already failing still warns. Success (including a skip of an unchanged union) clears the keys so the next outage warns again.
• Every instance keeps a tick measurer, including parked/hidden/active, so retries keep running while any <BugseeSecure> is mounted.

Parked overflow-visible, inactive-screen withdrawal, and viewport growth still hold on this HEAD.

Findings

No remaining P0–P3.

Overall risk: Low

Merge recommendation: approve.

Most important issues to fix: none.

Positive: The #86 clip/hide policy is still fail-closed on unreadable ancestry; the tracker keeps per-frame cost on what moves; 58dc051 matches the retry to the tick without dropping parked-lane recovery. Tests in registry.test.ts / measureLoop.test.ts fail on 7fa64b1 as claimed.

📝 Summary

Summary by CodeRabbit

• Bug Fixes
  • Secure areas now track visible content more accurately while scrolling or clipping, and respond to hidden screens and layout changes.
  • Previous coverage is retained briefly when content moves, shrinks, or becomes obscured, reducing the chance of exposing it during transitions.
  • Coverage updates recover more reliably from measurement or publishing failures and refresh when content becomes visible again.
• Performance
  • Improved tracking efficiency for screens with many secure areas.

BugseeSecure now uses a per-instance tracker to measure secure views, clip their rectangles against readable ancestors, and account for inactive screens. Coverage that shrinks or becomes hidden remains published for a limited hold period. Shared interval and frame scheduling coordinates measurements, while the registry batches lane updates and retries failed publishes. The pull request also adds tests and example scenarios for clipping, hidden tabs, movement, and performance with 20 or 200 secure views.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Change: Bug fix · Severity of issue fixed: Medium

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 7ed2f

This change clips secure-view coverage to the visible region and withdraws it while a screen is hidden. No concrete merge-blocking risk remains in the supplied changes. The perf scenario's documentation now matches what it measures.

Security architecture risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to 58dc0

Two conditional paths can leave visible sensitive content outside the recording mask: native-only clipping changes and a failed publication when an offscreen view becomes visible. Conservative fallbacks and isolated ownership reduce the risk, but these paths weaken the component’s privacy guarantee.

Retained concerns

• High · security · inferred: Redaction now treats committed React overflow props as evidence of native clipping. If setNativeProps or another native-driven update stops an ancestor clipping without changing those props, the tracker continues publishing only the old intersection, potentially exposing visible sensitive pixels outside it. The component documentation explicitly acknowledges this limitation. Committed overflow changes are detected, but that countermeasure does not observe native-only changes. The base published the whole measured view, so this is an introduced privacy limitation rather than an unchanged condition.
• Medium · security · inferred: A fully clipped parked view can remain unmasked after a failed direct layout publication. When layout reveals it, measured records lastSelf and updates the hold before publishing. If that native call throws, execution never reaches the mode transition: the view remains parked, with no previous visible rectangle to hold. Subsequent parked checks see the same lastSelf and skip measurement, while the tick has nothing held to publish. Direct publications do not enter the failed-publication queue. With unchanged watched ancestors and no other owner publishing on the same display and surface, recovery can remain stalled after the bridge recovers. Batched failures are retried, but the existing retry test exercises that different path; the base’s periodic full measurement would retry.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The affected security asset is visible content that applications expect BugseeSecure to exclude from recording. Exposure is conditional on affected UI behavior or publication failure within an application’s display and surface. A remote trigger, cross-tenant path, or privilege gain was not established by the inspected evidence.

Security Findings and Attack Paths

• inferred — The retained concerns are privacy-enforcement paths, not demonstrated attacker-controlled entrypoints: stale clipping evidence can omit pixels from the native mask, and a failed direct publication can leave newly visible coverage absent while tracking remains parked. Both differ materially from the base’s full-rectangle periodic publication.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Each component uses a unique object token, separate from manual owners. Screen-based withdrawal requires committed activityState zero beneath a recognized screen container; object-valued animated activity state prevents that withdrawal. These controls limit ownership interference and avoid relying on render-phase screen state.

Resilience and Maintainability Implications

• observed — The registry records successful publication only after the native call returns and invalidates its scale shortcut before attempting a changed publication. This supports retry correctness once publication is requested again, but does not itself ensure that every failed direct update is scheduled for retry.

Hardening Proposals

• proposed — Provide an explicit conservative full-coverage mode for ancestors whose clipping can change outside React commits, or obtain authoritative native clipping evidence before removing coverage.
• proposed — Track every failed native publication as pending work, including direct layout and delayed-callback publications, so recovery does not depend on movement, retained boxes, or another owner updating.

Explanation

Issue #86 requires three coding outcomes: visible-region publication, withdrawal while a mounted host screen is inactive or detached, and an e2e test that keeps BugseeSecure in tab A, taps tab B at the same location, and verifies the tap is recorded. The changed implementation and unit tests cover clipping and inactive-screen withdrawal. examples/bare/e2e/secure-visible.test.ts covers clipping and visibility phases, but it uses display: 'none' and does not execute or verify the required inactive-screen tab-A/tab-B tap scenario. The PR description confirms that this e2e case remains a follow-up.

197-209: 📐 Maintainability & Code Quality | 🔵 Trivial | 🏗️ Heavy lift

The tab phases do not test the new inactive-screen withdrawal.

The scenario hides the inactive tab with display: 'none'. Fabric measures a display: 'none' subtree as 0x0. The code on main already published nothing for a 0x0 view. These two tests therefore pass with or without this PR.

The new behaviour is withdrawal under an inactive react-native-screens screen (activityState 0 under a screens container), through isHidden, screensHide and CoverageHold. No device test covers it. Issue #86 asks for an e2e test with these steps:

1. Show tab B.
2. Tap where tab A's secure view was.
3. Check that the SDK records the tap.

Add a scenario that mounts the two tabs under a react-native-screens container. Assert that tab A's rectangle is gone after SECURE_SHRINK_HOLD_MS, and that the tap in tab B is recorded.

On the CodeRabbit nitpick for examples/bare/e2e/secure-visible.test.ts:197-209 (the tab phases use display: 'none', so they do not exercise withdrawal under an inactive react-native-screens screen): true, and not done in this PR, on purpose.

• The bare e2e app does not depend on react-native-screens (examples/bare/package.json); adding a native dependency to the e2e app, its pods and Gradle wiring, plus a device run, is out of scope for this fix.
• The screens path (activityState 0 / 2, the Animated activityState, RNSModalScreen, committed vs in-flight props, CoverageHold) is covered by unit tests in src/secure at 100% coverage and mutation-tested.
• The device check of the tab case under react-native-screens was done in the playground app (Expo, react-native-screens 4.26), as recorded in the PR's validation notes.

The display: 'none' phases stay as a regression check of the "0x0 publishes nothing" path. A react-native-screens device scenario is a reasonable follow-up once the bare app takes that dependency.
