Summary

This feature adds `is_top_level` and `visibility_state` string fields to the 
crash reporting API body that gets sent to the default reporting endpoint for 
crash reports. See https://wicg.github.io/crash-reporting/#crash-report. For 
`is_top_level`: see https://github.com/WICG/crash-reporting/issues/20 & 
https://github.com/WICG/crash-reporting/pull/23. The string value "true" or 
"false" is included depending on whether the Document sending the crash report 
belongs to a top-level traversable navigables. For `visibility_state`: see 
https://github.com/WICG/crash-reporting/issues/14#issuecomment-2452393164.

TAG review
This seems like a very trivial addition to an existing API that does not 
justify a full TAG specification review.

Risks




Interoperability and Compatibility

There are no discernible compatibility risks. Interop-wise, we've received good 
remarks (but not yet formal support) from Mozilla about this change during a 
Web Perf WG meeting; we have not yet heard from Safari. I believe the interop 
risks for this proposal are very minimal.


Gecko: Positive (https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/1225) I 
marked this as positive because the entire crash reporting API was marked as 
supportive by Mozilla in 
https://github.com/mozilla/standards-positions/issues/288, and Martin pointed 
to that when I filed a more specific one for these two small additions.

WebKit: No signal 
(https://github.com/WebKit/standards-positions/issues/456#issuecomment-2859201260)

Web developers: Positive Internal partners are very happy to receive this kind 
of new information in the crash report JSON body.

Other signals:


Security

This proposal is sending information with a crash report, that developers 
already have access to, and could be sending to their own servers manually to 
keep track of application responsiveness or to estimate a crash. With this, we 
believe there are no security concerns with including this information in crash 
report bodies.



WebView application risks

Does this intent deprecate or change behavior of existing APIs, such that it 
has potentially high risk for Android WebView-based applications?

None




Debuggability

None



Will this feature be supported on all six Blink platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux, 
ChromeOS, Android, and Android WebView)?
Yes


Is this feature fully tested by web-platform-tests?
No
There are no web platform tests for this tiny addition to the crash reporting 
API, because the crash reporting API itself cannot be tested this way at the 
moment. WPTs do not support crashing the renderer process for a contrived set 
of reasons (OOM, unresponsiveness, etc). Note that this has been documented in 
all of the other parts of this API that have shipped. See 
https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/blink-dev/c/tgRcEnqIb1A, for example.

Anticipated spec changes

Open questions about a feature may be a source of future web compat or interop 
issues. Please list open issues (eg links to known github issues in the project 
for the feature specification) whose resolution may introduce web 
compat/interop risk (eg, changing to naming or structure of the API in a 
non-backward-compatible way).
None
