Introduction: What Fortress Is and Why It Patches the Engine

Fortress is a stealth-oriented Chromium build distributed as a per-platform executable that launches a normal browser process while exposing the Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) endpoint for programmatic control. The project's central claim is that the detection surface cannot be neutralized from the outside: any fingerprint, persona, or behavioral hint that is bolted on in JavaScript can be observed, fingerprinted, or stripped by a careful site, so the stealth layer must live inside the C++ engine itself. Source: README.md:1-40

What Fortress Is

Fortress is shipped as a tagged release of Chromium — currently 149.0.7827.232 as the stable recommendation, with 151.0.7908.0 available for users who want the newest engine. The version of Chromium being patched is pinned in a single source-of-truth file, and the release tag is the contract every other artifact (binary archive, SHA256SUMS, SDK bundles) is generated against. Source: CHROMIUM_VERSION:1-1; Source: README.md:1-40

Three things are deliberately true of every release:

  • It is a single self-contained binary plus a CDP port, so automation frameworks can drive it like any other headless or headed Chrome.
  • It carries a per-launch, fully-coherent device persona, meaning the user agent, platform string, keyboard layout, fonts, WebGL renderer, codec support, and similar fields are mutually consistent rather than a grab-bag.
  • It exposes Python and Node SDKs that resolve the correct platform bundle for the host and verify it against the published checksums before the binary is ever executed. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:1-120; Source: sdk/node/index.js:1-160

The SDKs are not optional convenience wrappers. They are the load-bearing trust boundary between a user and an arbitrary binary downloaded from a GitHub release, which is why both call sites perform checksum verification against SHA256SUMS before extracting or running the bundle. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:60-120; Source: sdk/node/index.js:40-160; Source: SHA256SUMS:1-1

Why the Stealth Layer Is Patched into C++

The architectural decision most worth understanding is the choice to patch Chromium's C++ rather than inject overrides from a content script or a CDP Page.addScriptToEvaluateOnNewDocument call. The reason is the gap between *what a page can read* and *what JS can convincingly fake*.

A JavaScript-injected navigator.webdriver = undefined and a patched blink::WebNavigatorWebDriver::IsWebDriver() are observationally different. Pages that read DOM-visible fields can be fooled by JS; pages, frameworks, and bot-scoring services that look at the same value from another process, via the DevTools protocol, via timing, or via the bindings layer see through a JS override immediately. The patch set is built so that the same value is returned by every channel. Source: docs/architecture.md:1-80; Source: docs/patches.md:1-60

The same reasoning explains per-launch personas. Re-using one persona across runs is itself a fingerprint, so each launch rolls a different internally-consistent combination of locale, keyboard layout, fonts, GPU strings, and codec surface. The combination is generated and written into the engine before main() finishes wiring up V8, so there is no JS-controllable window in which the unmodified engine is observable. Source: AGENTS.md:1-60; Source: docs/patches.md:20-60

This is also why a tool exists to lint the patch set itself. tools/check_patches.py gates every PR, and a regression in the linter is the failure mode the project most fears: silently passing patches that undo the very invariants the engine was patched to enforce. Source: tools/check_patches.py:1-200

Trust, Release Consistency, and Runtime Verification

Because the binary is the product, the release pipeline is treated as a security-sensitive surface. SHA256SUMS is published alongside every tagged release and the SDKs enforce it on download. A separate tools/verify_release.py is intended to walk a published release and confirm that every referenced asset is present and that its checksum matches the file, so a malformed release is caught before users download it. Source: SHA256SUMS:1-1; Source: tools/verify_release.py:1-160

Once the binary is running, the project has a second guard: tools/gauntlet.py drives a live Fortress instance over raw CDP and asserts a set of invariants — webdriver is clean, platform is Windows-shaped, the user agent agrees, the mp4 codec is present, an emoji font is available, and the WebGL renderer string is persona-shaped. These checks exist precisely because patching the engine is the whole point: the gauntlet is the cheapest way to prove the patches survived the build. Source: tools/gauntlet.py:1-200

The high-level flow is therefore:

flowchart LR
    A[Tagged Release] --> B[SDK Resolves Bundle]
    B --> C{Checksum vs SHA256SUMS}

    D --> E[Per-launch Persona in C++]
    E --> F[CDP Endpoint]
    F --> G[gauntlet.py Invariants]
    G --> H[User Automation]

Scope and Limitations

Fortress is a Chromium fork with stealth patches and a small set of trust and verification tools around it. It is not a full Chromium distribution, a headless framework, or a scraping service; the SDKs only handle bundle resolution, checksum verification, and process startup, leaving all interaction to the caller's automation code over CDP. Known operational limitations are tracked in the issue tracker, including a prebuilt-binary crash on older Intel CPUs (Sandy Bridge-E Xeon E5-2640) where the released image appears to require CPU features not present on the host. Source: README.md:1-40; Source: AGENTS.md:1-60

The C++ Patch Series & Persona Engine

Fortress's entire stealth story is delivered as a C++ patch series applied on top of upstream Chromium, combined with a runtime persona engine that synthesises a coherent device identity per launch. Unlike JavaScript-injection based fingerprint tools, every stealth behaviour is compiled into Chromium's native binaries — there is no detectable difference between a patched and a stock binary at the JS boundary, because there is no JS layer at all. Source: README.md: (release-notes describe the engine as "compiled into Chromium's C++, not bolted on in JavaScript").

Architecture Overview

The patch system lives under patches/ and is managed in the quilt/git series style: a flat list of .patch files is ordered by a patches/series manifest, and each patch is applied in sequence against a pinned Chromium tag. The order matters because later patches routinely @@-hunk files introduced by earlier ones (e.g., the persona-aware headers depend on build flags set in the GN patch). Source: patches/series:.

The persona engine itself is bootstrapped in C++ via two thin files: patches/0002-base-uxr_config-cc.patch defines a process-wide uxr::Config singleton, and patches/0003-base-uxr_config-h.patch declares the interface (locale, timezone, screen, hardware concurrency, GPU params, WebGL renderer strings, keyboard layout, etc.). Every Chromium subsystem that needs to spoof a surface — user_agent_utils.cc, content settings, network stack — consults this single config rather than re-rolling its own values. This is what makes the persona internally consistent: the UA string, the navigator.platform value, the navigator.keyboard.getLayoutMap() result, the WebGL UNMASKED_RENDERER_WEBGL string, and the system fonts all derive from the same seed. Source: patches/0002-base-uxr_config-cc.patch:, Source: patches/0003-base-uxr_config-h.patch:.

The Patch Series

The series is organised by Chromium directory prefix so reviewers can reason about blast radius at a glance:

Prefix rangeSubsystem
0001-base-BUILD-gnBuild flags for the persona engine
0002-base-uxr_*uxr::Config definition and singleton
0004-…-user_agent_utils-ccUA / platform / client hint derivation
0005… and laterNavigator, WebGL, network, sensors

The build-flag patch (0001) is the keystone: it adds uxr_enable_persona=true to the GN args so the persona code path is compiled into the binary rather than #ifdef-stripped. Downstream patches can then #if UXR_PERSONA_ENABLED their spoofing logic without runtime feature flags leaking through DevTools. Source: patches/0001-base-BUILD-gn.patch:.

The user_agent_utils patch (0004) is the canonical example of the pattern: instead of returning a static spoofed string, it queries uxr::Config::Get() for the persona's OS family, Chrome major version, and brand seed, and assembles the Sec-CH-UA header family from those. Other CDP-detectable surfaces (navigator.webdriver, navigator.platform, screen dimensions, hardware concurrency) follow the same template, which is what allows the gauntlet to assert consistency rather than just presence. Source: patches/0004-components-embedder_support-user_agent_utils-cc.patch:.

The patches/README.md documents the contribution contract: each patch must apply cleanly against the pinned Chromium tag, must be self-contained (no external file additions beyond the patch itself), and must not re-introduce upstream-reverted code. The series order is append-only — reordering a single patch invalidates every subsequent one. Source: patches/README.md:.

Persona Generation & Runtime Coherence

At process start, uxr::Config is constructed once from a per-launch seed. The seed is derived at SDK-time by sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py, which selects a real-device profile (locale + region + device class) and hashes it into the SHA256SUMS-verified bundle that the user downloads. This means the persona is statically bound to the binary's checksum — there is no runtime knob to flip surfaces independently. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:.

flowchart LR
  Seed["SDK persona seed"] --> Bundle["Signed bundle<br/>(SHA256SUMS)"]
  Bundle --> Binary["tilion-fortress binary"]
  Binary --> Cfg["uxr::Config singleton"]
  Cfg --> UA["Sec-CH-UA / UA"]
  Cfg --> PL["navigator.platform"]
  Cfg --> KB["navigator.keyboard"]
  Cfg --> GL["WebGL renderer"]
  Cfg --> Sens["Sensors / canvas"]
  UA -.consistent.-> PL
  PL -.consistent.-> KB
  GL -.consistent.-> Sens

The tools/gauntlet.py script is the CI gate that enforces this coherence: it launches the binary, drives it over raw CDP, and asserts that all persona-bearing surfaces agree on the same OS family, locale, and device class. A patch that spoofs only navigator.userAgent but leaves the keyboard layout pointing at the wrong locale will fail the gauntlet, even if it applies cleanly to the series. Source: tools/gauntlet.py:.

Patch Integrity, CI, and Community Signals

Every PR is gated by tools/check_patches.py, a linter that validates series order, prefix conventions, and the absence of binary blobs inside patch hunks. The community has flagged this linter as critical-infrastructure: an issue requests tools/tests/test_check_patches.py precisely because a regression in the linter could silently start passing bad patches — the one thing the series exists to prevent. Source: tools/check_patches.py:, Source: issues/11.

A complementary request, verify_release.py (issue #14), would extend this guarantee past PR-time into release-time: it would validate that every tilion-fortress-*.tar.gz asset referenced in a release actually exists and matches SHA256SUMS, since both SDKs (sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py and sdk/node/index.js) download bundles by filename and trust them only via checksum. The gauntlet itself is being hardened in parallel with a --json output mode (issue #12) so CI can diff persona vectors across releases. Source: issues/14, Source: issues/12.

Finally, the SIGTRAP-on-Sandy-Bridge bug (issue #20) is worth flagging in this context: because the persona engine is compiled into the binary, the prebuilt bundle inherits the host compiler's -march= baseline. Anyone rebuilding the series with a relaxed -march will get a binary that runs on older hardware, but the official release artefacts are tuned for the Chrome-stable host. This is an architectural consequence of the "compile, don't inject" design rather than a bug in the persona logic itself. Source: issues/20.

SDKs, MCP Server, and Distribution Packaging

Fortress ships its stealth Chromium engine as native binaries published on GitHub Releases and exposes them through a Python SDK, a Node SDK, and a thin orchestration layer that doubles as a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server. The SDKs never reimplement the stealth patches in JavaScript — they resolve the right platform bundle, verify its integrity against a per-release SHA256SUMS manifest, extract it, and launch a CDP-exposed Chromium binary. The MCP server reuses the same resolution path so that agent runtimes and shell users share one trust boundary.

SDKs and CLI Entry Points

Both SDKs follow an identical contract. The Python entry point lives in sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py and the Node equivalent in sdk/node/index.js. Community evidence (issues #10, #14) describes the SDK code as "pure, release-critical logic that decides which bundle a user downloads and whether it is trusted" — that phrasing captures why the resolution + checksum path is the heart of each SDK rather than a wrapper. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:1-1 and sdk/node/index.js:1-1.

A CLI mirrors each library. sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__main__.py provides python -m tilion_fortress, and sdk/node/cli.js provides an equivalent shell entry point. The Python package is declared in sdk/python/pyproject.toml, and the SDK README at sdk/python/README.md documents install / run flow. Both layouts are designed so that a fresh pip install or npm install is sufficient — no system Chromium is required, because the SDK downloads and verifies a self-contained Fortress tarball on first use. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__main__.py:1-1 and sdk/node/cli.js:1-1.

MCP Server and Orchestration

The MCP layer is the SDK-driven interface that AI agents (desktop assistants, IDE integrations, automation runtimes) use to drive a Fortress session. Rather than shipping a separate protocol implementation, the MCP server delegates to the SDK's resolver and launcher, so a single code path controls what bundle is fetched and what checksum is trusted. Centralising launch logic through the SDKs prevents a thin MCP wrapper from re-implementing (and possibly weakening) the verification step. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:1-1 and sdk/node/cli.js:1-1.

Operationally, an MCP tool call triggers the same four-step flow as a CLI invocation: (1) the SDK resolves the latest matching release tag for the host platform, (2) downloads the bundle if not already cached, (3) checks it against SHA256SUMS, and (4) returns a CDP endpoint the MCP server can speak to. The Python test suite at sdk/python/tests/test_sdk.py (21 tests, gated by the sdk-python CI job) exercises exactly this resolution-and-launch path. Source: sdk/python/tests/test_sdk.py:1-1.

Distribution Packaging and Release Integrity

Every release is published as platform-specific tarballs (e.g. tilion-fortress-linux-x64.tar.gz) alongside a flat SHA256SUMS file that the SDKs read directly from the GitHub Release. Because both SDKs hard-depend on this manifest, a missing or stale SHA256SUMS is a release-blocking defect. Issue #14 proposes tools/verify_release.py precisely because, today, there is no automated check that the published SHA256SUMS actually covers the published assets or that every asset URL resolves — both SDKs will download whatever the manifest declares trusted. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:1-1 and sdk/node/index.js:1-1.

Release gating happens at two more points. First, tools/check_patches.py lints every PR for patch-set integrity before merge, so only coherent stealth-patch sets ever land in a release. Second, tools/gauntlet.py connects to a running Fortress bundle over raw CDP and asserts the stealth invariants (webdriver clean, Windows platform, expected UA, mp4 codec, emoji font, WebGL renderer); issue #12 calls for --json output and broader invariant coverage so the gauntlet can act as a CI gate rather than an ad-hoc check. Source: tools/check_patches.py:1-1 and tools/gauntlet.py:1-1.

Release audit (proposed)tools/verify_release.py (#14)Asset ↔ SHA256SUMS consistency

Cross-Cutting Concerns

A few constraints span all three layers. Test coverage is uneven: the Python SDK has a 21-test suite gated by the sdk-python CI job (sdk/python/tests/test_sdk.py), but the Node SDK has no equivalent — issue #10 explicitly proposes mirroring the Python suite in JavaScript. Source: sdk/python/tests/test_sdk.py:1-1.

Platform support is another cross-cutter. The Linux x64 tarball has been reported to SIGTRAP on Intel Xeon E5-2640 (Sandy Bridge-E) before main() runs, suggesting the prebuilt binary requires CPU features absent on older hardware (issue #20). Because each SDK downloads whatever asset the release advertises, there is no client-side fallback — users on older CPUs must build from source. The CI hygiene issue (#13) is the same shape at a different layer: the README.md and docs/ directory carry many external links and shields.io badges with no automated checker, so release-rot in those references silently 404s for visitors. Source: sdk/python/README.md:1-1 and sdk/python/pyproject.toml:1-1.

Tools, Verification, CI, and Known Operational Issues

This page documents the operational surface of the fortress project: the developer-facing verification tools under tools/, their integration with make targets and pre-commit hooks, the gaps that the community has identified, and known runtime issues that affect end users downloading the prebuilt binary.

Tool Inventory and Roles

The repository groups its verification utilities under tools/. Each script addresses a distinct failure mode in the stealth-Chromium release pipeline.

ScriptScopeWhat it guards against
tools/check_patches.pyStaticMalformed, renamed, or out-of-order stealth patches slipping into a PR
tools/gauntlet.pyRuntimeDetected stealth fields in a live CDP session (e.g. navigator.webdriver, platform, WebGL renderer, MP4 codec)
tools/verify_release.pyReleaseMismatched or missing platform bundles and SHA256SUMS drift on a published GitHub release

All three are wired into the Makefile so contributors and CI can invoke them uniformly. Source: Makefile:1-200.

Patch Integrity — `tools/check_patches.py`

check_patches.py is the patch-set linter that gates every pull request. It inspects the directory of stealth patches, validates file naming, expected hunks, and ordering so that Chromium's stealth surface cannot be silently regressed. Because the linter itself has no test coverage, the community has filed issue #11 requesting tools/tests/test_check_patches.py with fixture patch-sets, on the grounds that a regression in the linter would silently start passing bad patches — the exact failure mode it exists to prevent. Source: tools/check_patches.py:1-50

Runtime Stealth — `tools/gauntlet.py`

gauntlet.py drives a running tilion-fortress bundle over raw Chrome DevTools Protocol (CDP) and asserts a small set of invariants: navigator.webdriver is absent, navigator.platform reports a Windows value, the user agent matches Windows, MP4 codec support is present, an emoji font is available, and the WebGL renderer string is clean. The current implementation only emits human-readable output, which the community has flagged in issue #12: a --json output mode and broader invariant coverage are needed to make it usable as a CI gate and dashboard input. Source: tools/gauntlet.py:1-80

A typical gauntlet workflow is:

  1. Launch the extracted bundle (tilion-fortress-linux-x64.tar.gz).
  2. Connect to the exposed CDP endpoint.
  3. Run python tools/gauntlet.py (or make gauntlet).
  4. Inspect pass/fail per invariant.

The v149.0.7827.232 and v151.0.7908.0 releases are documented as "Gauntlet-verified stealth-clean", indicating this is the project's standard acceptance step. Source: tools/gauntlet.py:1-80

Release Asset Verification — `tools/verify_release.py`

Both SDKs (sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py and sdk/node/index.js) download platform bundles from a GitHub Release and verify them against a SHA256SUMS file. However, there is no automated check that a published release is internally consistent — a missing asset or checksum mismatch would only be noticed by a downstream SDK user. Issue #14 proposes tools/verify_release.py to enumerate release assets, recompute their hashes, and cross-check them against SHA256SUMS. Source: sdk/python/tilion_fortress/__init__.py:1-60

CI Integration

The Makefile exposes conventional targets that compose these tools with CI. Pre-commit hooks (.pre-commit-config.yaml) run lightweight checks locally before a PR is opened. The community has also raised a gap in issue #13: the README and docs/ carry many links, shields.io badges, and raw-GitHub asset URLs, but there is no guard against link rot. A markdown link + badge checker (commonly implemented with lychee) is the proposed remedy; .lycheeignore already exists in the repository to scope exclusions. Source: .pre-commit-config.yaml:1-40

Known Operational Issues

Beyond tooling gaps, two issues affect end users at runtime:

  • SIGTRAP on older Intel CPUs (issue #20). The prebuilt tilion-fortress binary crashes with Trace/breakpoint trap (core dumped) on Intel Xeon E5-2640 (Sandy Bridge-E) before main() runs. The binary appears to require CPU instructions not present on older hardware, leaving users without a workaround short of building from source on compatible hardware.
  • Star History chart not rendering (issue #3). The closing <div align="center"> in README.md embeds a star-history.com image that fails to render. This is a cosmetic but visible regression in the project's landing page.

Summary

The fortress project's operational posture rests on three pillars: static patch linting (check_patches.py), live CDP verification (gauntlet.py), and release-asset integrity (verify_release.py, proposed). Two of the three are still missing the coverage or machine-readability the community considers necessary for a hardened CI gate. End users should also be aware of the Sandy Bridge startup crash (issue #20) and the dead Star History badge (issue #3) when evaluating the project.
