Description
Proposal
Implement navigator.sendBeacon for fire-and-forget telemetry and background-safe submissions.
Scope:
- Expose navigator.sendBeacon with URL and body inputs.
- Support string, blob, and byte-like body forms.
- Return boolean based on acceptance of enqueue/send.
Technical Notes: - Route through requesters/loader with non-blocking semantics.
- Inject policy for size limits and batching if needed.
Acceptance Criteria: - sendBeacon returns true for accepted payloads and false for rejected ones.
- Body serialization and content type handling are covered by tests.
- No unhandled exceptions on unsupported payloads.
Out of Scope: - Browser-specific background delivery guarantees.
- Retry persistence across process restarts.
Description
Implement navigator.sendBeacon as a lightweight, non-blocking telemetry submission API with body type support and deterministic acceptance behavior.
Background
sendBeacon is widely used for analytics and end-of-session events where fire-and-forget semantics are preferred over fetch/XHR lifecycle coupling.
Specification
- Beacon specification: https://w3c.github.io/beacon/
- API surface: navigator.sendBeacon(url, data)

Research direction
Start by locating the navigator API surface and the requesters/loader path mentioned in the issue. Trace how URL and body inputs are serialized and how non-blocking requests are accepted or rejected. Done means sendBeacon supports the listed body forms, deterministic boolean results, content-type and serialization tests, and no unhandled exceptions for unsupported payloads.
