Update Chrome Binaries Test Region Agent Skill

Update Chrome Binaries Test Region

AWS setup

• Confirm the AWS CLI is logged into account 678892195805 by running aws sts get-caller-identity. If not, ask the user to log in.
• Export AWS credentials into the shell by running eval "$(aws configure export-credentials --format env)". The Lambda client checks for AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID and does not pick up SSO or Identity Center credentials on its own.
• From packages/lambda, run bun src/admin/make-layer-public.ts --region=eu-central-1 to publish all 5 layers: fonts, chromium, emoji-apple, emoji-google, cjk.
• The eval and the bun command must run in the same shell invocation because the env vars do not persist across shell calls.
• Verify the output prints a LayerArn and Version for each of the 5 layers and a final JSON dump with the published regions populated.

Update hosted layers

Update packages/lambda/src/shared/hosted-layers.ts by copying the JSON dump from the script's stdout. Do not manually bump version numbers.

The script prints, after several blank lines, a complete HostedLayers object showing the exact layerArn and version AWS returned for every layer it just published. Replace the corresponding region entries in hosted-layers.ts with those values.

For the test phase (--region=eu-central-1), only eu-central-1 is updated; other regions intentionally stay on their old versions until rollout. If the script was invoked with --skip=<region>, leave skipped regions untouched.

Update Chrome references

Ask the user for both the Chrome version, such as 149.0.7790.0, and the corresponding Playwright revision. If the user does not provide the Playwright revision, look it up in https://github.com/microsoft/playwright/blob/main/packages/playwright-core/browsers.json by matching browserVersion.

Update:

• packages/renderer/src/browser/get-chrome-download-url.ts: TESTED_VERSION, PLAYWRIGHT_VERSION, the trailing // <version> comment on the PLAYWRIGHT_VERSION line, and the two hard-coded https://remotion.media/chromium-headless-shell-amazon-linux-{arm64,x64}-<version>.zip URLs.
• Before changing URLs, verify the new binaries exist with curl -sI against the new hard-coded URLs and the templated chromium-headless-shell-linux-{arm64,x64}-<version>.zip?clearcache URLs that follow TESTED_VERSION. Continue only when all return HTTP 200; otherwise ask the user to upload the missing builds to remotion.media.
• packages/lambda/src/admin/make-layer-public.ts: the Chromium <version>, compiled from source. license string passed to PublishLayerVersionCommand.
• packages/docs/docs/lambda/runtime.mdx: prepend a new row to the "Chrome" version table for the next Remotion release. Determine the next version from packages/core/package.json and increment the patch.
• packages/docs/docs/miscellaneous/chrome-headless-shell.mdx: prepend a new row to the version table and update the example version string in the "Version tracking" section.
• packages/docs/docs/renderer/ensure-browser.mdx: update both version: '<old>' occurrences in example code blocks.

Docker verification

Run the Docker matrix tests in packages/dockerfiles/ with ./run.sh against the new Chrome binary. Make sure Docker Desktop is running first.

The tests render:

• browser-test: Three.js, WebGL, and codec smoke test.
• html-in-canvas: experimental WICG drawElementImage() and canvas.requestPaint() APIs.

Outputs land in packages/dockerfiles/out/<platform>.mp4 and packages/dockerfiles/out/<platform>-html-in-canvas.mp4.

The Dockerfiles install the local workspace build of @remotion/cli plus transitive deps, not the published version. Source changes in @remotion/renderer are picked up before publishing. run.sh runs pack-cli.ts, which walks @remotion/cli transitive workspace:* deps, runs bun pm pack for each into packages/dockerfiles/tarballs/, and emits local-cli-package.json with every tarball as a direct dependency and override.

If a new composition is added to the Docker test matrix, register it in packages/example/src/BrowserTestRoot.tsx and add a corresponding RUN remotion render /usr/app/bundle <id> /usr/app/<filename>.mp4 line plus docker cp extraction in run.sh.

The <HtmlInCanvas> runtime check in packages/core/src/HtmlInCanvas.tsx requires ctx.drawElementImage, canvas.requestPaint, canvas.captureElementImage, and transferControlToOffscreen, which Chrome 149+ exposes when --enable-features=CanvasDrawElement is passed. If html-in-canvas renders fail with "HTML in Canvas is not supported" while browser-test passes, the most likely cause is a Chrome version mismatch.

Do not proceed to publishing all regions until the test region has been verified end-to-end.
