Claude Code v2.1.247 ·

Preview locks the browser to the local server and self-tests the lock before loading

The preview browser is locked to the local server and refuses to run if the lock fails.

What

The Chrome instance spawned for artifact preview is confined to the loopback preview host plus Google Fonts. Every other name is black-holed by host-resolver rules, proxies are off, new web contents and the GPU are disabled, and a fresh profile directory is created under a claude-artifact-preview- prefix. Before the real page loads, preview navigates to a throwaway local name and requires the failure to be net::ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED; if the browser resolved it anyway, the run stops.

Details
  • Debugger-level request interception fails anything that is not the page itself or a fonts.googleapis / gstatic stylesheet path.
  • An injected script deletes RTCPeerConnection and related APIs and, via a mutation observer, strips preconnect, dns-prefetch and prerender links plus speculation-rules scripts.
  • Workers or worklets that attach without waiting for the debugger also abort the run.
  • Behind the same preview gate, tengu_cobalt_plinth_aspen, as the rest of preview.
Evidence

this browser ignored the preview network lock-down; preview stopped before loading the page

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
