Chromium Blink Remote Linux Development Workflow

The source provides a comprehensive guide for experienced C++ developers on setting up a development workflow for Chromium's Blink rendering engine, specifically focusing on the core component within a remote macOS-to-Linux environment. It details the multi-process architecture of Chromium, clarifying Blink's role as the sandboxed web platform implementation (HTML, CSS, DOM) within the renderer process, which hands off work to the compositor. The guide outlines how to fetch the vast source code using depot_tools and gclient, explains the structure of the codebase (third_party/blink, content/, V8), and recommends building the minimal content_shell target for efficient iteration. Finally, it covers practical remote development techniques, including using VS Code Remote-SSH and port forwarding for debugging the Blink engine running on the Linux server.
