I don't understand. CEF exists; why load it as a shared lib/cffi? You just expose your app's process to all the issues that a browser can have, including security issues

In most languages, CFFI crashes the whole app process since it's the same process. Maybe for personal stuff, it can be suitable, but nothing serious

Vibe coder generally want publicity and fame, so they don't bother to check what is already available that is not slop, well tested and robust.
