Spawns a separate Chrome process per unique fingerprint seed, all behind
a single port (9222). Clients specify seeds and fingerprint params via
query string on the CDP URL:
connect_over_cdp("http://host:9222?fingerprint=12345&timezone=Asia/Tokyo")
Supports all --fingerprint-* flags as query params, geoip=true for
auto timezone/locale from proxy IP, and proxy= for per-process proxies.
- Rewrite bin/cloakserve from 57-line wrapper to aiohttp CDP multiplexer
- Add ChromePool with per-seed process management and port allocation
- Bidirectional WebSocket proxy for CDP traffic
- URL rewriting for /json/version, /json/list, and WS paths
- Rename _build_args -> build_args, _maybe_resolve_geoip -> maybe_resolve_geoip
- Add aiohttp + websockets to serve optional deps
- Dockerfile installs .[serve] extras
- Add 20 unit tests for cloakserve (param parsing, CLI args, URL rewriting)
- Remove locale and timezone_id from Playwright context kwargs (CDP)
- Pass timezone via --fingerprint-timezone binary flag (process-wide)
- Pass locale via --lang + --fingerprint-locale binary flags
- Accept both timezone and timezone_id param names silently (no deprecation)
- Update all wrapper tests to verify binary args, not CDP context params
Bump version to 0.3.9. Extract shared buildArgs into js/src/args.ts (DRY),
guard console.debug behind DEBUG=cloakbrowser env var, strengthen caplog assertion.
- Rename timezone_id → timezone in launch_context(), launch_persistent_context(),
and launch_persistent_context_async() (Python)
- Extract _migrate_timezone_id() helper for deprecation compat (DRY)
- Always pop timezone_id from kwargs to prevent override via context_kwargs.update()
- Use FutureWarning (visible by default) instead of DeprecationWarning
- JS: deprecate timezoneId on LaunchContextOptions with runtime shim
- Extract migrateTimezoneId<T>() shared helper in playwright.ts (DRY)
- Bump version to 0.3.7 in _version.py and package.json
- Add 4 Python + 4 JS unit tests for deprecation compat behavior
launch() and launch_context() now inject --timezone and --lang binary
flags when timezone/locale params are set. Previously only the Playwright
context layer was configured, leaving a detectable mismatch that CreepJS
flagged as a bot signal.
