Summary
When WebKit reports that a browser WebContent process terminated, cmux used to tear down and replace the
WKWebViewsynchronously from that WebKit callback. On macOS 26, that can overlap WebKit's provisional-page attach path (finishAttachingToWebProcess→updateActivityState) and take down the entire app.The browser panel now owns an explicit recoverable-termination state. The callback records the recovery URL, clears stale page activity, detaches the terminated view's callbacks, and withholds portal mounting. A replacement is created only through explicit reload/navigation recovery, while hidden WebView discard is blocked during recovery (system memory pressure may still reclaim it while preserving the URL). Observer generations reject stale KVO deliveries.
The lifecycle implementation is extracted into
BrowserPanel+WebContentTermination.swiftto stay within the Swift file-length budget. No user-facing strings or keyboard shortcuts changed.Reproduction
The original report says: “Not reproduced deterministically.” I followed the documented family repro from the related reports: open a browser pane, switch workspaces to hide it, kill its attributed WebContent process, then reveal/reload it. On macOS 26.5 (
cmux-austin-mini-1) the app survived the kill/reveal/reload cycle on 0.64.17; the native SIGSEGV itself did not reproduce. The app-side hazard was the synchronous replacement path, which this change removes.Investigation
Sentry shows this exact WebKit
updateActivityStateattach signature in 0.64.9 (19 events), with the largest volume in 0.64.17 (1,923 events in the attach-family query). The current 0.64.22 release still has related WebKit attach events, so this is not treated as a release-specific duplicate.Open reports #6911 and #7270 reproduce the same Apple WebKit stack on 0.64.17 after the earlier sleep/wake mitigation. Their timing and lifecycle triggers overlap this report, but the reports do not prove a single WebKit or cmux root cause; this PR addresses the shared cmux-side invariant: a WebView whose WebContent process has terminated must not be synchronously replaced or mounted while WebKit can still deliver provisional-page attach IPC. Upstream WebKit commit
314838@mainfixes a related nullPageClientdereference, which confirms that the final null safety belongs upstream as well; cmux can only avoid provoking the unsafe lifecycle window.Validation
