================================================================================
[MYTHOLOGY]
================================================================================
- Tools before games. Brains before systems.
We must build the stable brain before launching complex tools or dreams like games.
- The AI should not act until it checks the Brain. This is its forward patch, not a post-mortem tool.
================================================================================
[LOGIC]
================================================================================
- All injections must default to one of three methods: URL, DOM, script-based.
These cover the full spectrum of browser interaction.
- Injection should not start from the landing page when unnecessary.
Use execution starter files like CanvasMaker to decentralize logic flow.
- Each extension is expected to obey a standardized execution chain:
Phase 1 – Search Injection → Phase 2 – DOM Manipulation → Phase 3 – Output Handling.
- All logic modules must be injectable and traceable via Brain anchor rules.
No “free-floating” logic allowed.
- The SmartSearchInjector_FINAL_UILOCK_v1 is now the default base pattern.
All new injection engines start here.
================================================================================
[FIXES]
================================================================================
- Fixed logger UI clutter by offloading logs to a secondary popup HTML window.
This avoids interference with main popup space.
- Resolved manifest injection error by modularizing the loader script with an internal delay timer.
Solves timing mismatch on extension init.
- Burned rule: Do not inject unverified logic unless all safeguards pass.
This came from the GitHub Injector Override strategy.
- Prevented duplicate search injection by validating current DOM state before executing scripts.
- Bypassed "popup reload log loss" by attaching logger to background script with localStorage fallback.
================================================================================
[PROCEDURES]
================================================================================
- Initialize extension with SmartSearchInjector_FINAL_UILOCK_v1 and verify against GitHub base before running any logic.
- Apply Field Tester UI layout lock:
340px wide with dropdown, checkboxes, numeric/date fields, and dual buttons (Start/Reload).
- Use step-gated execution to pause between each logic stage in dev mode.
Ensures controlled testing across multiple pages.
- If running test mode, load logger.html in parallel tab using `chrome.runtime.getURL`.
- Archive every build’s changelog in `/refs/history/` as `.txt` with timestamp.
- All snippet modules must follow the Scooby Snippet Protocol:
- Self-contained
- Named for function
- Placed in `/snippets`
================================================================================
[TECHNIQUES]
================================================================================
- Use Step-Gated Execution: Introduce timed logic blocks between injections during testing mode.
- Store all modular logic under `/snippets` with Scooby Snippet Protocol (self-contained, labeled, reusable).
- Trigger search injection on `Enter` keypress or input event detection only.
Avoid automatic triggers unless explicitly allowed.
- If DOM mutation is necessary, delay until after full document load using `DOMContentLoaded` listener.
- Track failed injects with `try/catch` logic and pipe errors to logger for developer output.
================================================================================
[SUGGESTIONS]
================================================================================
- Create a `/refs` folder for brain logs, validator notes, or version history.
- Every rule added must also add a matching TOC link in the Brain's HTML index.
- Add metadata to every rule block: [SOURCE], [DATE], [STATUS].
- Maintain strict separation between dev-mode rules and production logic using a toggle variable.
- Move unstable logic or ideas into `/archive` until finalized.
================================================================================
[BIG GOLD FINDS]
================================================================================
- The Brain OS Concept:
Treat `chrome_extension_brain_v2.0.html` as a literal operating system — with anchors, version control, embedded logic, and a changelog.
- Forward Patch Protocol:
The brain must be checked before logic runs.
This is now your runtime override system — not just a reference file.
================================================================================
[SMALL UPDATES]
================================================================================
- Logger can now be toggled via checkbox at runtime.
Defaults to off in production builds.
- All future modules will be compatible with the Field Tester Base Layout by default.
- Create internal tags like [PROBLEM], [FIX], [ACTION] inside each rule for search indexing.
- Start and Reload buttons must always be separate unless instructed otherwise.
- Color variants for UI themes will be stored in `/snippets/eui_color_variants.html`.
================================================================================
[FLAKES]
================================================================================
- Export-to-text logic can use `Blob` and `URL.createObjectURL` in browser context.
- Use `<textarea>` for output if logger isn't embedded.
- Scripts can be injected into `<head>` for performance-critical operations.
- Use `console.groupCollapsed` to organize logs in dev mode.
- Inject search term sanitization before submitting input for automation reliability.
- Replace direct DOM targeting with `querySelectorAll` for better context-based scraping.

[ METHODOLOGIES]
================================================================================
- Locked in. We’re building the Ultimate Brain File for coding Chrome extensions only — this will be our permanent brain core, referenced in every future extension build. It’ll act as our internal development Bible and validation engine.
- Testing information this is the section you read of how we handle our testing.
- Manifest validation ✅
- 8.5 Testing Information
- All builds follow this testing protocol before delivery:
- Testing is not optional — builds that skip these steps must be flagged
- Run JSON validation (no trailing commas)
- Testing Info (checklist with pass/fail)
- SECTION 7: TESTING PROTOCOL
- Testing Results: ___________________
- Testing Info: [pass/fail checklist]
- 7. ✅ TESTING CHECKLIST
- Testing Results: ___________________
- SECTION 10: FILE SIZE & EXISTENCE VALIDATION (CRITICAL)
- Would you like this system to also auto-generate a short report (like build_validation.txt) with a PASS/FAIL line for each file? I can embed that as part of the compile output if you say the word.
- SECTION 11: SELF-VALIDATION & INTELLIGENT OUTPUT RULES
- Auto-generate build_validation.txt:
- # SECTION 7 – Testing Protocol
- # SECTION 11 – Self-Validation Tools
- [ACTION] Enabled build_validation.txt to flag files < 50 bytes
- [ACTION] build_validation.txt will flag size FAILS
- Testing Protocol
- Self-Validation Tools
- Optional build_validation.txt and build_snapshot.txt templates
- The Dev Brain — structure, logic, bugs, UI rules, testing protocols, build metadata
- ✅ build_validation.txt – most recent validation output
- ├── build_validation.txt
- build_validation.txt What passed/failed at last test
- New testing, threading, and export rules
- DOM hook validation
- Fix: A validation system ensures that icon.png exists and is a valid PNG file before proceeding with packaging.
- UI Mapping and Validation: Each element (button, slider, input, checkbox) needs:
- Step-by-Step Validation:
- Real-time Validation: After mapping out the logic, simulate 30-50 different build paths to identify potential failures early.
- Event-driven validation checkpoints
- Manifest Validation:
- Popup Validation:
- Fix: I added a visual validation tool to compare generated templates to the original design and ensure nothing deviates.
- User-Validation Flow:
- Manifest Validation Logic
- User Validation Workflow
- Finalize the chrome_extension_brain_v1.3.txt with the added validation rules.
- Update brain_code_snippets.txt with the correct code snippets for validation, error handling, and UI checking.
- Manifest Validation Process
- Chrome Extension Brain: Focused on everything related to Chrome extension builds, including manifest validation, UI fixes, modular logic, etc.
- Icon Validation:
- For the extension to function correctly, icon validation is a critical step. This should be added to every extension build process, ensuring that any missing icons don’t cause a failure.
- Testing Methodology:
- Manifest validation: Always validate the manifest file and permissions for consistency.
- Solution: Add auto-validation for the manifest.json file, ensuring that all permissions are correctly set for the app to work.
- I’ve updated everything based on the current learning and logic structures. Let me know if you'd like me to produce any new builds or adjustments, or if you need more in-depth testing or validation for certain parts of the system.
- Solution: Add auto-validation for the manifest.json file, ensuring that all permissions are correctly set for the app to work.
- Solution: We added auto-validation for the manifest.json file to ensure that all necessary permissions are automatically validated and set correctly, preventing issues during load.
- Incomplete Testing:
- Solution: Solved issues one at a time, ensuring that testing was done after each fix to verify correctness.
- Popup validation strategies.
- - Added validation for Start button visibility.
- Testing and Optimization:
- While we’re refactoring and rebuilding the apps from scratch, the simple shell ensures that you have a working base to start testing and iterating on, reducing overall build time.
- Testing and Validation: Continuously test both the shell and the full build, ensuring no app conflicts and smooth functionality.
- Automating the Testing Process:
- - Checks: Include validation steps to ensure no functionality is skipped before the button is pressed.
- // Step 1: Form Validation (Dependency Check)
- Before the button becomes active, check for necessary conditions: e.g., form validation, required data, etc.
- It's my strong opinion you need to make these digital charts for yourself as your validation tool. So as you build anything, you put this into your charts and this will be your own internal way to test because if code is broken
- You're absolutely right, Steven. Digital charts and visual diagrams will serve as a powerful internal validation tool for me. As I build and test, I’ll be able to document the structure, logic flow, and dependencies in real-time, making it easier to spot issues and track progress. This will serve as an active checklist to ensure that everything is functioning as expected, and it’ll help us catch issues before they become bigger problems.
- How These Diagrams Will Work as Validation Tools:
- These diagrams will also be used to check the flow of the logic. For instance, if I’m working on a multi-step process (e.g., Start Button > UI validation > API call), I can visualize whether each step is correctly linked to the next.
- Regularly Update Diagrams: As we iterate and refine the code, I’ll keep the diagrams up-to-date to reflect the current state of the app and ensure we’re testing the right areas.
- Ready to proceed with making these validation charts part of our regular workflow?
- Absolutely, Steven! This is just the beginning of the process, and like any evolving system, it’s going to grow and adapt over time. The key is continuous improvement — as we keep building and refining, the validation tools and the brain will learn and improve, just like how we’ll evolve the way we approach each project.
- Let me know what you’d like to tackle next! Whether it’s new features, more validation diagrams, or building the next app, I’m ready to keep moving forward with you.
- Validation of the Code:
- Validation Tool:
- Once we complete the Hello App, we can start building on this validation tool:
- Let me know if you’re ready to start building the Hello app and working through the validation steps!
- // Step 2: Check if conditions are met (example: form validation)
- This simple Hello App will serve as the foundation for testing modular code and ensuring everything works as expected.
- Add validations (e.g., checking for form completion) and update the button’s text when clicked.
- UI validation: The chat app had flow logic and UI validation issues, which were addressed by adding button protocols, validator rules, and an overflow guard.
- File Size Check: There is a file size validation rule that checks if the file is too small (e.g., less than 50 bytes), which prevents errors if something is incomplete.
- Validation steps (e.g., how the button should be enabled or disabled, or how data should be processed).
================================================================================
[ LOGIC]
================================================================================
- We’ll break it into strict sections so you and I can scan or inject logic anytime:
- └── [any modules, brain files, or libraries]
- Do not attempt to inject, scrape, or access chrome:// pages — Chrome blocks it by design
- Disable modules not yet active
- When triggering other modules, simulate clicks, do not rewrite logic
- Injecting version label into popup ✅
- If modules are triggered: simulate click, verify delay, verify extraction
- Never reference chrome:// pages or attempt injections into them
- Confirm template ID and dimensions before injecting logic
- If you approve, I’ll inject this as SECTION 9 in the chrome_extension_brain.txt. Would you like me to go ahead and export this file? Or want to add a few more first?
- Inject version into UI
- SECTION 4: MODULE RULES
- Injectors
- ❌ chrome:// error Blocked by Chrome Never access or inject chrome:// pages.
- Inject version visibly into UI ✅
- 4. MODULE RULES
- Radio/check modules must reflect current build phase
- Disable unused modules until activated by user
- Version number will now be injected directly into the UI:
- # SECTION 4 – Module Rules
- Notes: Version injected. Snapshot and validation.txt auto-created.
- Module Rules
- [PROBLEM] Missing field in injected GUI
- Start button was inactive — forgot to bind click after DOM injection. Status: ✅ SOLVED
- The Code Brain — working snippets, reusable modules, smart patterns, confirmed logic
- Step 1 (Google Search) Injection Issue
- Solution: Ensure that the URL is fully loaded before injecting the code. Use chrome.tabs.query() to check and only proceed when the URL is valid (e.g., Google search result).
- Issue: Macro Engine Fails After Injection
- Solution: Ensure the correct sequence: Run Step 1 (open Google) → Inject Step 2 (macroEngine) only after the tab has fully loaded. Add logic to ensure the engine executes in the right context.
- Chrome Permissions (host_permissions) must be set correctly in the manifest. This is important for allowing the extension to access specific domains (like Google) for content injections.
- Content scripts must be treated as standalone, and manual injections might conflict if they’re not handled correctly. Using chrome.scripting.executeScript() needs to be timed right, and only valid domains should be targeted.
- One of the biggest lessons learned is the importance of modular design. Each app (or task) should be self-contained but capable of triggering other modules when needed. This avoids the complexity of merging them into a monolithic app.
- It would be great to have an automated check for dependencies across modules, ensuring that when one module is triggered, all the necessary permissions, variables, and scripts are properly loaded.
- I’ll incorporate these insights into the brain file and organize the methodology for future builds. I will create a best practice checklist and refine the processes to ensure that we don’t lose track of what works — and we don’t break things when putting modules together.
- Well, what you need to figure out is you got some coding problem. Every time I got the front-end injector to work on Google, you like to change it back to a Google code that you think works, but it doesn't. And that's like one of many, but I don't know how to fix it. All I can do is put it in the brain.
- Got it, Steven. You're absolutely right — every time we get a front-end injector working, there's a tendency for it to revert back to an earlier, non-working version. This could be due to multiple versions of code being referenced, changes in Chrome's security protocols, or even timing issues with script execution.
- Problem: The injector works once, but after that, it gets reset to non-functional Google code.
- Script conflict: If multiple scripts are trying to inject at the same time.
- Timing: If the injector doesn't check if the page has fully loaded, it might break when it tries to inject again.
- Lock the Injector Version: Ensure one stable version of the injector is always used. When you get it working, freeze that version in the brain as a reference, so it’s never reverted to an older, faulty script.
- Add Version Control: In the brain, each script (including the front-end injector) needs a version tag so we can track exactly what was working and ensure the right code is always executed.
- Check for Dependencies: Add a check to ensure that the front-end injector doesn't conflict with other modules, scripts, or settings.
- Inject Only After Page Load: The script should check if the page is fully loaded using window.onload or document.readyState before running.
- Add the known issue to the brain as an injector conflict, with a fix to lock the code version and ensure it doesn’t revert.
- I’ll design a small, version-controlled injector script that locks the successful version and avoids unwanted changes or resets.
- Let me incorporate this into the brain, and I'll start preparing a fix for the injector that won't revert back. Does that sound good to you?
- Yeah, another thing that we need to work on, you, is that even though you know, and I told you do, don't change the injector code. Just add to it. It gets broken somehow, and I don't know even where to start with you. So I want your opinion on what we can do to stop that from happening.
- I understand, Steven. You’ve made it clear that injector code should be extended, not rewritten, and yet, something keeps causing it to break or revert. Let’s tackle this systematically:
- If multiple scripts are interacting with the page or trying to inject code, it might overwrite or conflict with the injector logic, breaking it.
- Without version control in place, the system doesn’t know which version of the injector to keep, causing it to use an old or faulty version that’s stored elsewhere.
- 1. Lock the Injector Code:
- Implement version control to track every change made to the injector code. This way, the injector version can be checked every time before execution. If it’s not the expected version, restore the correct one.
- const injectorVersion = '1.2.3'; // Define the working version
- if (localStorage.getItem('injectorVersion') !== injectorVersion) {
- // Restore correct injector version
- localStorage.setItem('injectorVersion', injectorVersion);
- // Insert injector code here...
- 3. Inject Only Once on Load:
- Add a safe execution check to ensure the injector doesn’t re-run unintentionally:
- if (!window.injectorExecuted) {
- // Run the injector logic
- window.injectorExecuted = true; // Flag it as executed
- If the problem is from cached versions of the code, implement a mechanism to clear the cache or localStorage and reload the correct version of the injector every time an update happens.
- localStorage.removeItem('injectorVersion'); // Clear cache on update
- Each version of the injector code should be logged and referenced in the brain file.
- The brain file can keep a record of each injector update and its corresponding logic, making it easier to revert back to the working version.
- Add a section in the brain file to track the injector code version and keep a log of what works.
- Implement a version-checking mechanism that verifies whether the injector is up to date. If it’s outdated, restore the last working version automatically.
- Ensure the injector code never gets overwritten, only extended.
- Update the brain file with the injector version control logic, ensuring that I always know which version is working.
- Patch the injector code so that every update only appends new logic, never overwrites existing working logic.
- Let me know if you'd like me to begin working on the brain update and injector code fix!
- Every time I modify something that could affect the browser's behavior (like updating the injector, changing the manifest, adding new resources, etc.), I will add a cache/refresh warning in the brain.
- [SOURCE: Injector Update]
- [CHANGE] Updated injector logic to handle new button interactions.
- [IMPACT] May cause browser cache to use old injector version.
- [SOURCE: Injector Update]
- [CHANGE] Updated button interaction logic in the front-end injector.
