* feat(web): export captured scripts for JavaScript application analysis Add capture adapters, conservative source path projection, verified exclusive publication and a shared CLI/MCP workflow. Retain source identities, missing content and competing URL versions in a complete manifest for existing static analysis.

Captured website scripts and static JavaScript analysis
export_web_scripts bridges retained browser sources into the existing local
JavaScript analyzer. Both CLI and MCP use the same workflow. It reads a saved
inspect_web_page or capture_browser_scenario capture and writes scripts plus a
verified manifest into one caller-selected, absent directory.
Capture and export
For passive inspection, select include_script_sources: true (CLI:
--include-script-sources). For scenarios, select
capture.network.response_body: true. Save either the complete Evidence record
or its normalized result as UTF-8 JSON. The compact MCP wrapper's evidence
field contains the complete Evidence record.
rea export-web-scripts /analysis/capture.json /analysis/exported-scripts --json
rea analyze-javascript-application /analysis/exported-scripts/files --json
MCP uses export_web_scripts with capture_path and output_directory absolute
filesystem paths. Its inline result includes analysis_input, which can be
passed directly to analyze_javascript_application. When no script bytes are
exportable, analysis_input is null and the manifest retains the unavailable
sources and their reasons. Capture again with the corresponding content option.
The destination must not exist. Use a new directory for each capture; an existing directory or symlink is rejected without overwriting its contents. REA creates private output, verifies every written file by digest and durable readback, and removes its own partial output on failure or cancellation. A failed rollback reports residual paths.
Sources and mappings
Every source is returned inline with its URL and its script/frame identity or request transaction and event sequence references. The result also contains the input capture's byte digest, original coverage, source Evidence link when provided, and the persisted manifest's digest and byte count. A saved Evidence envelope must have a valid semantic identifier and matching operation.
Exported relative_path values are relative to analysis_input.input_path.
The persisted manifest.json contains the same inline manifest fields, excluding
its own descriptor. It does not duplicate script bytes.
- Passive sources are the Debugger-exposed text encoded as UTF-8, with the verified source digest and source-map declaration retained. Unavailable or explicitly non-JavaScript sources remain unavailable.
- Scenario sources use observed requests classified as
script, matched to completed response bytes by transaction and event identity. URLs never select the response. Binary and empty retained bytes are written exactly. - Ordinary query-free
.js,.mjs, and.cjsURL paths are arranged under a directory for each origin, preserving their relative module layout when it is unambiguous. - Competing versions, query/fragment variants, case and file/directory prefix collisions, inline sources, and unrepresentable paths use unique isolated names with a stated reason. Missing competing sources also prevent selection of an apparently canonical version.
Interpretation and limits
Export does not fetch URLs or execute JavaScript. Retained Debugger sources and response bytes do not establish execution or a complete website. Response bytes are browser-decoded bytes; they do not represent transfer encoding. Declared redaction is preserved and can change JavaScript syntax; passive captures do not report a byte-redaction flag, so that value remains unknown.
The existing analyzer inventories and parses the actual exported files. It can resolve ordinary captured relative modules, but does not implement browser import maps, root-relative URL loading, remote imports, or runtime behavior. Its local resolver may strip import queries/fragments; isolated variants are kept away from canonical paths to prevent those from selecting a different observed version. Missing dependencies remain unknown. Source maps are not fetched or reconstructed during export.
The export Evidence describes a derivation from the saved capture. Subsequent application-analysis Evidence describes the local exported artifact. Their identities and authorities remain separate.
Verification
npm run verify:browser:scripts exercises active capture, exact source export,
manifest readback, query variants, and relative-module analysis through a real
browser, CLI, and stdio MCP. Set REA_BROWSER_EXECUTABLE to an installed
Chrome-family browser. The verifier accepts an optional installed REA entrypoint
argument for package verification. npm run verify:browser additionally covers
passive inspect_web_page export through both public adapters.
