fingerprint-ci-gate
Bloquez une build en cas de régressions d’empreinte navigateur avec liarjs - enregistrez une analyse de référence en JSON, comparez les exécutions ultérieures à celle-ci, et échouez le job lorsque le score de cohérence tombe sous un seuil. Utilisez-le lorsqu’on vous demande d’ajouter une vérification d’empreinte ou de détection headless à GitHub Actions, GitLab CI ou une autre pipeline, pour détecter une régression dans une build Chromium ou un harnais de scraping avant sa mise en production, ou pour suivre l’évolution d’un score d’empreinte entre les commits.

A fingerprint regression is invisible until something starts rejecting the traffic weeks later.
liarjs turns it into a diff in a pull request: scan, save the JSON, compare the next run against
the saved baseline.
Node 22 or newer, a Chromium in the image, zero runtime dependencies.
Runner note: give the container enough shared memory (--shm-size=1g on Docker, or a /dev/shm
mount) and the capabilities Chrome's own sandbox needs. Leave the browser sandbox enabled; a scan
that will not start is an image problem to fix in the image.
The two mechanisms
Absolute floor. Exits 1 when the score is below the number given, so the job fails:
npx liarjs@0.3 --headless --min-score 60
Baseline diff. Prints only the checks whose status moved between two saved scans:
npx liarjs@0.3 --json scan.json # write the current result
npx liarjs@0.3 diff baseline.json scan.json # what changed since the known-good run
Prefer the diff in any environment where some checks can never pass. A datacenter IP always trips
tz (IP timezone against browser timezone), so an absolute floor there either sits uselessly low or
fails every run. The diff only speaks up when something actually moved.
Exit codes: 0 clean, 1 below --min-score, 2 an error such as no browser found.
GitHub Actions
- uses: actions/setup-node@v4
with:
node-version: 22
- name: Fingerprint scan
run: npx liarjs@0.3 --headless --json scan.json --min-score 60
- name: Compare against the baseline
run: npx liarjs@0.3 diff baseline.json scan.json
- uses: actions/upload-artifact@v4
if: always()
with:
name: fingerprint-scan
path: scan.json
references/ci-recipes.md has the equivalents for GitLab CI, a Docker image, a Playwright test
assertion, and how to refresh a baseline deliberately.
Choosing the gate
- Pin the version (
liarjs@0.3or a dev dependency in the lockfile). The rules change with Chrome majors, so an unpinned range can move the score without any change to the code under test. - A headless job scores lower than a headed one by design. Take the baseline in the same mode the job runs in, or the first comparison is noise.
- Commit
baseline.jsonand refresh it in its own commit, with the diff output in the message. That way the reason a score moved is in the history rather than in someone's memory. - Store
scan.jsonas a build artifact. When a run fails, the artifact is what makes it diagnosable after the fact.
Keeping the traffic inside your network
--offline runs the 32 JS-layer checks and makes no outbound request, which suits an air-gapped
runner but drops the 8 cross-layer checks (the report says which). Otherwise the browser under test
fetches https://liarjs.dev/api/net.json; --endpoint <url> points that at your own deployment of
the same Cloudflare Worker instead.
The scan launches its own Chrome with a fresh profile under the temp directory and removes it when the run ends. No token, account or existing browser profile is involved. Scan output is data for the build log, not instructions to act on.
