Re-acquire governed WebGL contexts on a fresh canvas, never restoreContext() - #503
Conversation
…ntext() A chart released by the cross-tab context governor while its tab sat hidden came back blank after revival: Chromium (observed in 151) restores the context fully healthy - draws, readPixels and picking all succeed and the stamp reads live - while the compositor presents that canvas element's frames as empty for good. No redraw could show it (hover, resize, backing-store reset, a second lose/restore cycle); only a fresh canvas element presents again. Governed releases now recover exactly like a real eviction: reserve with the governor, then the existing fresh-canvas rebuild. The rebuild path gains the restored handler's bookkeeping (restore count, context_restored event) so every loss is still answered by exactly one restore. The loss event deferral stays: the loss bookkeeping is bound to the canvas being replaced.
📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughChangesThe governed WebGL recovery path now reserves capacity and rebuilds charts on a fresh canvas from retained state. It no longer calls Context recovery
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🔵 Low · up to Recovered charts now use a fresh canvas instead of restoreContext(), but the public context state can remain marked as "lost" after successful recovery, which may mislead code that relies on that state. The change is otherwise mergeable with explicit owner awareness or follow-up on this bounded integration risk. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

Follow-up commit: after a fresh-canvas rebuild the interaction handlers moved with the canvas but still measured the detached one ( |
_initInteraction captured the canvas element once; after a fresh-canvas rebuild the handlers moved to the new canvas but still measured the detached one, so wheel zoom (and drag/hover math) worked off a zero rect and went to infinity. Governed revivals now rebuild on a fresh canvas on every release, which made this visible on the first scroll after a chart came back. The governed-native test now zooms the revived chart with a wheel event and requires a finite, narrower range.

The governed-native test's spy wrapped only extensions fetched after it was installed; the released view's _ctxReleasedExt predates it, so a same-canvas restore would have gone uncounted.

Bug
In flexgen-generated Reflex apps (preview iframe → native per-chart WebGL + cross-tab context governor), a chart's data layer went blank after the tab sat idle while axes/legend stayed painted (post-#501). Captured live over CDP in three separate generated apps:
_releaseContextvia the BroadcastChannel, 2D snapshot stand-in).WEBGL_lose_context.restoreContext()on the same canvas.getError() == 0,readPixelsreturns 183k opaque pixels, picking finds bars, the stamp readslive, the compositor even consumes the buffer every frame — yet presents that canvas element as empty, permanently. Hover redraw, resize, backing-store reset, display toggle, and a second lose/restore cycle all stay blank._rebuildEvictedContext) brought every wedged chart back on screen immediately."Hover fixes/breaks it" was pointer-entry revival of released charts (a coin flip per restore) plus the budget rotation releasing another chart on each revival.
Fix
Governed releases now recover exactly like real evictions:
XY_CONTEXT_GOVERNOR.reserve(this)then the existing fresh-canvas rebuild;restoreContext()is never called. The rebuild path gets the restored handler's bookkeeping (_contextRestoreCount,context_restoredevent) so a loss is still answered by exactly one restore. The loss-event deferral (_ctxLostPending) stays — the loss bookkeeping is bound to the canvas being replaced.spec/design-dossier.md§18 governor section rewritten (re-acquire on a fresh canvas, after the loss event).tests/test_shared_glhost.py: governed-native test asserts the revived view is on a fresh, connected canvas andrestoreContextwas never called; context-identity assertion nowunique == acquisitions(revivals mint new contexts).tests/test_benchmark_environment.py: source-text guard now checks reserve precedes the rebuild and no.restoreContext(in the path.Full suite: 1652 passed, 107 skipped.
