Saluton TAG!

I'm requesting a TAG review of the Storage Pressure Event.

This proposal aims to provide an early warning when the storage device backing the user's data is running low on free space. This warning is provided to currently running applications, which can pause or abandon in-progress operations that would otherwise fill up the user's storage device.

• Explainer¹ (minimally containing user needs and example code): https://github.com/jarryd999/Storage-Pressure-Event
• Security and Privacy self-review²: https://github.com/jarryd999/Storage-Pressure-Event/blob/master/tag_sp_questionnaire.md
• GitHub repo (if you prefer feedback filed there):
• Primary contacts (and their relationship to the specification):
  • Jarryd Goodman, Google, Chromium implementer
  • Marijn Kruisselbrink, Google, Chromium implementer
  • Victor Costan, Google, Chromium implementer
• Organization/project driving the design: Chromium
• External status/issue trackers for this feature (publicly visible, e.g. Chrome Status):
  • Chrome Status
  • Tracking bug

Further details:

• I have reviewed the TAG's API Design Principles
• The group where the incubation/design work on this is being done (or is intended to be done in the future): wicg
• The group where standardization of this work is intended to be done ("unknown" if not known): whatwg
• Existing major pieces of multi-stakeholder review or discussion of this design: https://github.com/whatwg/storage/issues/73
• Major unresolved issues with or opposition to this design: Figure out heuristics for when and how to dispatch these events in a manner that doesn't cause privacy issues.
• This work is being funded by: Google

We'd prefer the TAG provide feedback as (only slight preference):

🐛 open issues in our GitHub repo for each point of feedback

Thank you, Jarryd
