• I also reported this error in XDG_RUNTIME_DIR error in Debian 12.x headless #29554

  Error: Missing browserCriClient in connectToNewSpec

however currently it is not occurring for me using the latest Cypress version (13.13.0) against Chrome 126 on Linux (Debian 12.6) running Node.js v20.15.1. This is in a headless (no GPU) Docker environment on CircleCI.

Are you able to test with Cypress 13.13.0 and see if it still happens? Maybe also update your Node.js version as well.

Closing since there's no response. I also recommend updating as I believe this is fixed.
