Use one cleanup owner across browser, Frida and JEB verifiers. Attempt all independent cleanup tasks, retain primary failures, and emit successful reports only after cleanup. Remove the superseded browser helper and duplicate tests.
Validation: cleanup aggregation and runtime fixture tests, build and static checks passed. No real Frida or JEB run.
* Single owner for the Chrome DevToolsActivePort startup deadline
Cold Chrome startup tolerance was spelled three ways for one wait: the helper
fell back to 15,000 ms, the runtime fixture lifecycle passed a literal 60,000,
and the real-browser verifier kept a local 60,000 constant. A per-caller literal
quietly changes how long a lane tolerates a cold browser before it fails, and
the failure reported only elapsed_ms, so a reader could not see which ceiling
was hit.
Export BROWSER_DEVTOOLS_STARTUP_TIMEOUT_MS as the owner, use it for the helper
fallback and both call sites, and report startup_timeout_ms in
BrowserStartupError. A source guard keeps callers from restating the number.
* Pin the DevToolsActivePort deadline guard to the startup call argument

Let the fixture lifecycle own CDP readiness with the same 60-second startup deadline as the broader browser verifier. Return the discovered port to both consumers and clean up failed startup before returning a lease.
Validation: five startup/cleanup boundary tests, npm run check, and real Chrome 154 runtime and source-map CLI/MCP verifiers passed on macOS arm64. Hosted Linux verification follows the push.
Use password-store=basic for owned raw Chrome verification processes and document the same option for dedicated caller-owned Linux investigation profiles. Locked keyrings can stall navigation and leave placeholder frame URLs; keep the existing committed-URL authorization boundary.
Validation: real Chrome 154 CLI and stdio MCP browser verifier passed on macOS ARM64, plus docs freshness and check:fast. The locked Linux desktop keyring environment was not reproduced locally.
