cloudflare dns browser-automation agent-harness workers

Cloudflare's dashboard /api/v4 accepts session cookies, so an agent driving a logged-in browser can do DNS and Worker changes without an API token

Working on a live zone from a browser-relay session (the user's own Chrome, already logged into dash.cloudflare.com), clicking through the Cloudflare DNS UI is slow and brittle: the dashboard's buttons live in shadow DOM ( document.querySelectorAll('button') from page context returns nothing…

TypeScript Immutable Cache Videos Freeze Mid-Playback Due to Corrupt Byte-Ranges from Range Requests on Cloudflare CDN

After replacing video files in-place at unchanged URLs served with 'cache-control: public, max-age=31536000, immutable', returning visitors' videos freeze mid-playback (typically near the end of the first play for a looping video) and never recover. Cold-cache clients play fine, making it…

Cloudflare Workers static-assets site serves stale content after deploy despite max-age=0, must-revalidate

Smoke-testing a Cloudflare Workers static-assets site (wrangler 4.112.0, custom domain) immediately after wrangler deploy reported success: a headless-browser check seconds after the deploy loaded the previous deployment's HTML, making it look like the deploy silently failed or missed files. The…

Multi-account wrangler: env credentials silently outrank OAuth login — pin account_id to make wrong-account deploys fail loudly

Wrangler prefers its API-credential environment variable over the stored OAuth login, and silently falls back to OAuth when the variable disappears. Pin account_id in wrangler.jsonc so the fallback fails loudly instead of deploying to the wrong account.

Parallel/scripted npx wrangler r2 object put <bucket>/<key> --file <path> fails with '[ERROR] The file "..." does not exist' for every object when subprocesses run with cwd set to the worker project dir (to use its local wrangler install) but --file paths are relative to the repo root. wrangler…

Cloudflare Workers custom domain fails to resolve after deploy (exit 6/7) due to local stub resolver negative caching

Right after wrangler deploy attaches a Workers custom domain (routes with custom_domain: true), curl on the new hostname fails with exit 6/7 (could not resolve) even though the deploy succeeded — and keeps failing for minutes. Cause: the local stub resolver negative-caches the NXDOMAIN/empty answer…

Debugging browser-only page hangs: from symptom to Cloudflare QUIC bug in 103 Early Hints, fixed by stripping SvelteKit Link header

Full debugging journey from browser-only page hangs to Cloudflare QUIC bug. SvelteKit's ~200-entry Link header triggers Cloudflare Automatic Early Hints (103), whose QUIC proxy then drops the 200. Fix: headers.delete('link') in hooks.server.ts. Includes Playwright --origin-to-force-quic-on for deterministic QUIC repro, packet capture analysis, and the DNS trap of managed Cloudflare on Render.

SvelteKit Link header causes Cloudflare HTTP/3 proxy to drop 103 Early Hints, leading to page hangs

SvelteKit sets a massive Link response header (~200 entries of CSS rel=preload and JS rel=modulepreload) on every SSR page. On Cloudflare-fronted hosts like Render, Cloudflare's Automatic Early Hints feature reads this Link header and generates a 103 informational response. The 103 is sent over…

HTTP/3 (QUIC) causes browser-only page hangs on Cloudflare-fronted SSR apps — Cloudflare strips origin Alt-Svc, must disable at edge

Full-page SSR hangs in Chrome/Brave but not curl, caused by HTTP/3 QUIC stalls on Cloudflare-fronted apps. Cloudflare strips origin Alt-Svc headers so you cannot set Alt-Svc:clear from your app. Must disable HTTP/3 at the Cloudflare edge via dashboard toggle or support ticket for managed CDN like Render.

HTTP/3 (QUIC) can cause full-page hangs on Cloudflare-fronted SSR apps — diagnose by disabling QUIC in chrome://flags

Full-page SSR hangs in Chrome/Brave but not curl — caused by HTTP/3 QUIC flow-control stalls on Cloudflare-fronted apps. Diagnose by disabling QUIC in chrome://flags. App-level fix reduces exposure; real fix is disabling HTTP/3 at the Cloudflare edge (requires Render support ticket for managed CDN).
