fix(inspect): keep a replaced video in place until its pipeline has started (#291)
WebKit (GStreamer) deadlocks the page when a video leaves the page or the viewport before its pipeline has started: the main thread changes the pipeline state and waits for the source's streaming thread, which waits on the main thread in a synchronous bus handler (native stacks of the hung WPE web process in the pinned image). Removing, hiding or merely pushing the video below the fold all hung; none of pause(), removing src, load() or the revoke was the cause on its own. A video replaced while still starting now stays where it is, inert and aria-hidden, with the new preview inserted after it, and the session's revoke of its URL waits. Once it reports metadata or an error (or after 15 s) it is paused, loses its src, is reset with load() and removed, and only then is its URL revoked. Every released video is reset with load(), so no decoder is kept per replaced video. The loadstart replacement spec now runs on WebKit too (15 fresh pages, replaced at loadstart + 0-4 ms). TESTING.md D62 records the cause.

because WebKit (GStreamer) blocked the page when such a pipeline was reset (`replacing a

starting is reset once it settles`). A WebKit load cut off by the revoked URL usually
|

stalls and never settles; a fallback then only drops the waiting listeners. The viewer's

own video teardown was checked the same way (`closing the viewer on a video that just

started never blocks the page`, 15 fresh pages on WebKit) and needed no change.
|

Follow-up: on WebKit, a video released exactly at its `loadstart` sometimes blocks the
|

page, with or without any reset and also before the deferred reset (2 of 24 runs in the
|
||||
pinned image), so the `loadstart` spec is skipped on WebKit until that is investigated.

`load()` (which frees its decoder) and is removed from the page, before its URL is

revoked. Each preview owns its listeners, so the page never pins a released node.
|

A video replaced while still starting (a source, but neither metadata nor an error yet)

stays where it is, inert and `aria-hidden`, with the new preview inserted after it, and

the session's revoke of its URL waits; once it reports metadata or an error (or after

15 s) it is released as above and only then is its URL revoked. Page leave and dispose

release it at once. Cause, found with native stacks of the hung WPE web process in the
|
||||
pinned image: WebKit (GStreamer) deadlocks when a video leaves the page or the viewport
|
||||
before its pipeline has started. The main thread changes the pipeline state and waits
|
||||
for the source's streaming thread, which is itself waiting on the main thread in a
|
||||
synchronous bus handler. Removing the video, hiding it, or only pushing it below the
|
||||
fold with a taller preview inserted before it all hung (7 to 21 of 120 fresh pages each,
|
||||
replaced at `loadstart` + 0–7 ms), and none of the earlier steps (`pause()`, removing
|
||||
`src`, `load()`, revoking the URL) was the cause on its own; pushing it out after
|
||||
`loadedmetadata` hung 0 of 180. Specs: `replacing a video that just started loading
|
||||
never blocks the page`, and `a video replaced while still starting is reset once it
|
||||
settles`, which now runs on WebKit too (15 fresh pages, replaced at `loadstart` + 0–4
|
||||
ms). The viewer's own video teardown was checked the same way (`closing the viewer on a
|
||||
video that just started never blocks the page`, 15 fresh pages on WebKit) and needed no
|
||||
change.
|
