So I decided to change tact a bit with GoNIX and instead of trying to build apure Go browser from scratch (which I kinda of half succeeded, in at least it was able to render most static ssr sites), I've instead decided to write a new browsered using the Chromium Embedded Framework, otherwise known as CEF. So now I have a fully working browser in GoNIX 🎉 -- However since my goal is to keep GoNIX pretty lcean and mostly written in Go, I delegated the cef part(s) to an OCI container image and run that with GoNIX's

box (command-line container runtime). It works great 👍
@movq CEF turns out to be pretty easy. I had to write a bit of C and Go to bridge, but once that got going I was able to write it into my pure Go go-wayland wlui library for final rendering. The delegating the entire CEF part was a good idea though because it keeps all the complexity in a container Image, leaving me with just the Go + C stubs/interface and SHM/IPC parts.
