No coherent browser profile matches the requested options

Error message

No coherent browser profile matches the requested options

What it means

makeProfile builds browser×OS candidates but skips incoherent pairs (safari only runs on macOS). If strict mode is on and no coherent combination remains (e.g. browsers: ['safari'] with operatingSystems: ['windows','linux'], or an empty browsers list), it throws this Error instead of silently relaxing. In non-strict mode it falls back to chrome/windows.

Solutions

1. Remove strict: true to get the chrome/windows fallback
2. Include 'macos' in operatingSystems when browsers includes 'safari'
3. Add a non-safari browser (chrome/firefox) to the browsers list
4. Validate browser/OS arrays are non-empty before constructing

Example fix

// before
new HeaderGenerator({ strict: true, browsers: ["safari"], operatingSystems: ["windows"] });
// after
new HeaderGenerator({ strict: true, browsers: ["safari"], operatingSystems: ["macos"] });

const coherent =
  (options.browsers ?? ["chrome"]).length > 0 &&
  (options.browsers ?? []).every(b => b !== "safari" || (options.operatingSystems ?? []).includes("macos"));
if (options.strict && !coherent) throw new Error("fix browser/OS combination before constructing");

try {
  const gen = new HeaderGenerator({ strict: true, ...opts });
  return gen.getHeaders();
} catch (err) {
  if (err instanceof Error && err.message.includes("No coherent browser profile")) {
    return new HeaderGenerator().getHeaders(); // fall back to defaults (non-strict)
  }
  throw err;
}

When it happens

Trigger: new HeaderGenerator({ strict: true, browsers: ['safari'], operatingSystems: ['windows'] }).getHeaders(); or strict: true with browsers: [] / operatingSystems: [] — the cartesian product after filtering is empty.

Common situations: Porting strict header-generator configs where the browser list is dynamically filtered to safari only; user config pinning safari on a non-macOS spoof target; empty arrays read from settings files.
