egress, without relying on the per-probe cache alone. Add a regression test
covering DNS rebinding after initial validation.

Mergeable; the probe stays inert until the browser service starts at the next release deploy, and the fallback to Cloudflare snapshots means a dead probe costs nothing but the clicks. Ran the full suite on the branch (3608 passed); the codecov red is a config artifact, noted inline.
The epistemics are the best part of this PR and worth naming: the prompt now distinguishes what a click DID (read from the record) from what markup suggests, the ourl.jp case is exactly the miss that distinction prevents, and the record hooks have a useful asymmetry — a hostile page can only fabricate observations that incriminate it, never exonerate it. The layered fallback (probe, then snapshot, then honest missing-evidence), the first-shot-as-the-evidence-image choice, cancelled downloads, dismissed dialogs, service workers blocked at both the context and the hook, popups closed after capture, the guard applied to every request on the context including popups, the paired image tags with browser swapping first ungated, and the live verification against two real kits in the PR body: all right. The Discord attachment sniffing closing the JPEG/webp mismatch end to end is the kind of loose end most PRs leave.
Two should-fixes (one security posture, one flood cap), one should-decide, and nits, inline.

Should-decide: probing from the prod IP. The label is honest, but this egress is a single stable datacenter IP tied to production. Two costs accrue: kits that fingerprint scanners can note the IP once and cloak for it forever (a static IP burns much faster than Cloudflare's pool), and the traffic profile of clicking scam pages now originates from the same address that serves every redirect. The safety research settled on keeping render egress off the prod box for exactly this reason, and Cloudflare Browser Run was partly chosen for it. Accepting the trade for the click capability is defensible — the fallback still exists when a page cloaks — but it should be a recorded decision, and a cheap egress proxy for the probe is the eventual answer if cloak-rate against this IP climbs.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Recorded as a decision in the PR: we accept probing from the prod IP for the click capability, with Cloudflare snapshots as the fallback when a page cloaks. Two things make it cheap to revisit: the egress label in every render tells us which path produced the evidence, and a cloak-rate climb against this IP shows up as probe results that disagree with the snapshot. If that happens, an egress proxy for the probe container is the next step; the container already has its own network, so routing it through a proxy is a compose change, not a code change. Leaving this open for your call.

Nit, merge-order interplay with #342: this matches dest.host only. Once #342 lands, a sibling that reaches this host through a geo rule is invisible here; the semantic part of the rebase is switching this to dest_host_filter so the campaign shape includes rule-hidden siblings. Both PRs also edit build_evidence_bundle, so the textual conflict will force the visit anyway.
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Agreed. This branch is based on main, which has no dest_host_filter yet. Once #342 merges I will rebase this on top and switch list_recent_by_dest_host to dest_host_filter so rule-hidden siblings appear; the build_evidence_bundle conflict forces that visit anyway. Leaving open as the reminder.

The investigator judged what a button does from script tags, because its only render was a one-shot snapshot. A fake video player wired to ad networks became "designed to trigger malicious downloads" without anyone clicking it. The new browser service loads the page in our own Chromium, clicks its prominent controls and records pop-ups, navigations, downloads, dialogs, clipboard writes and notification prompts; fetch_page reports that under Observed behaviour and the prompt makes it the only source for what a click does. Small hosts also get every sibling link resolved into the bundle, so nine links from one creator in three minutes reads as one campaign. Cloudflare snapshots stay as the fallback.

What
Two things the investigator could not do before: see what a page does, and see the other links on the same host.
1. Probe browser (
browser/,infrastructure/browser_probe.py)A small Playwright service in its own container. For each
fetch_pageit loads the URL, waits for JS and meta redirects, screenshots, then clicks up to three of the page's most prominent controls (keyword-ranked: play, verify, continue, download, copy, login...) and records what each click caused:The record goes to the model under
## Observed behaviour. Both screenshots (as loaded, after the clicks) are attached. Cloudflare snapshots remain the fallback when the probe is down or the page will not load.Safety: the container joins only its own docker network (the worker joins both), and Playwright aborts any request whose host resolves to a non-public address. Discord attachments now take their name and type from the image bytes, since the probe sends JPEG.
2. Sibling links in the evidence bundle
For a host with 15 links or fewer, the bundle lists every link we hold on it, who made each (anonymous or account), the creation window, and where each resolves over HTTP. Shared platforms are skipped: their siblings belong to strangers.
3. Prompt
## Observed behaviour, never an inference from markup or script hosts.spam_grayevidence, neverscam_hostevidence.Why
The ourl.jp verdict this week called a fake video player "designed to trigger malicious downloads or push-notification scams". Nobody had clicked it. Clicking it opens a Monetag pop-under and the page later redirects to a Telegram channel. That is
spam_grayby our own rubric. The model inferred harm from vendor names because inference was all it had. It also never saw that the same anonymous creator made nine ourl.jp links in three minutes.Verified against live pages (image built and run on the VPS)
ourl.jp/EJTQX:
whatnot.ver314186.cfd (a live phishing kit,
scam_hostin our store):clipboardjs.com (download capture and scroll fallback):
A real Cloudflare challenge and a dead host both come back as honest "nothing observable" or a probe failure that falls back to the snapshot.
Not verified end to end: a live ClickFix clipboard write. No live sample was reachable. The hook is exercised by construction and the formatting by tests.
Probe time per page: 7 to 28 seconds. An investigation calls
fetch_pagetwo to four times, so expect 30 to 60 seconds more per investigation.Rollout
The browser joins only its own docker network (
probenet); the worker joins both.infrastructure/probenet-egress.sh <subnet>adds DOCKER-USER drops for every private range from that network (with intra-network traffic allowed), so a DNS-rebinding page cannot reach the host or other bridges. Applied on the VPS for 172.31.0.0/24.Images build under the same tags as the app (
ghcr.io/spoo-me/spoo-browser). The deploy pulls and startsbrowserbeforeapp.Prod compose on the VPS already has the
browserservice, theprobenetnetwork, the worker joined to it, andSAFETY_BROWSER_PROBE_URLstaged.docker compose configvalidates. Nothing starts until the next release deploys.Tests
