| Pixel | When it fires |
|

| ------------------------------------------------------------ | -------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
|

| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_page_initialization_missing` | A finished HTTP(S) page load does not receive the initial CPM status. |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_page_initialization_recovered` | CPM works on the next page load or reload without reloading the extension. |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_messaging_suspected_stuck` | CPM fails repeatedly, including after a page reload and in another tab. |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_messaging_recovered_after_reload` | CPM starts working after the app reloads the extension. |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_messaging_reload_failed` | CPM still does not work after the app reloads the extension. |
|

| iOS pixel | Trigger | Frequency |
|

|---|---|---|
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_initialization_missed_after_session_restore` | CPM does not initialize during a restored-session navigation batch. | Daily |
|

| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_initialization_recovered_after_session_restore` | CPM initializes on the next independent navigation after the restored-session batch failed. | Daily |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_messaging_stuck` | CPM also fails on a later independent navigation, with no CPM success between attempts. | Daily + count, once per episode |
|
||||
| `m_debug_web_extension_cpm_messaging_recovered_without_extension_reload` | A stuck episode recovers before the extension is reloaded. | Daily + count, once per episode |

## Detection Rules
|
||||
|
||||
- Check only finished, current, main-frame HTTP(S) document navigations after a grace period.
|
||||
- Treat all `.sessionRestoration` navigations from one app launch as one batch, not one failure per restored tab.
|
||||
- A redirected restoration still belongs to the restoration batch when `.sessionRestoration` appears in its navigation history.
|
||||
- After restoration, any independent eligible document navigation can be the next attempt: reload, typed URL, link, new-tab navigation, or a real back/forward load.
|
||||
- Redirects do not count separately. Same-document, failed, non-HTTP(S), and BFCache navigations do not count when CPM is not expected to initialize again.
|
||||
- Any successful CPM initialization closes the episode. Pixels are fired for episode transitions, never for every failed tab.
