fix: sync wrapper with v11-v13 binary changes

- Rename --timezone to --fingerprint-timezone (breaking binary change in v13) - Remove --fingerprint-taskbar-height from defaults (binary auto-applies per platform) - Update viewport height 955→947 (48px Win taskbar default) - Update patch count 26→25 (patch 003 deleted in v11) - Document new flags: --fingerprint-fonts-dir, --enable-blink-features=FakeShadowRoot, --fingerprint-taskbar-height (optional override) - Fix README: remove incorrect "defaults to windows" claim
docs: overhaul README — hero GIF, comparison table, streamlined structure

 ## [0.3.0] — Unreleased

-Chromium v145 upgrade. 26 fingerprint patches (up from 16). New download verification and fallback system. Pending: macOS v145 binary builds.
+Chromium v145 upgrade. 25 fingerprint patches (up from 16). New download verification and fallback system. Pending: macOS v145 binary builds.
+
+### Breaking
+
+- **[wrapper]** Python dependency changed from `playwright` to `patchright` (CDP stealth fork). Patchright is API-compatible, but if you import `playwright` directly elsewhere, add it as a separate dependency. Replace `from playwright.sync_api` with `from patchright.sync_api` (or keep using `cloakbrowser.launch()` which handles this automatically).
+- **[wrapper]** `launch_context()` / `launchContext()` now defaults viewport to 1920×947 (realistic maximized Chrome on 1080p Windows with 48px taskbar) instead of Playwright's default 1280×720. Pass `viewport={"width": 1280, "height": 720}` explicitly to restore old behavior.
+
+### 2026-03-02
+
+- **[binary]** Full stealth audit — multiple detection vectors eliminated, improved cross-API consistency
+- **[binary]** Platform-aware fingerprint defaults: screen dimensions, taskbar, and layout auto-adjust per spoofed platform
+- **[binary]** Stability and performance improvements across fingerprint patches
+- **[binary]** New optional flags: `--fingerprint-fonts-dir`, `--fingerprint-taskbar-height`
+- **[wrapper]** Sync wrapper with latest binary changes: updated flag names, viewport, and defaults

-### Auto Timezone/Locale from Proxy IP
-
-When using a proxy, antibot systems check that your browser's timezone and locale match the proxy's geographic location. CloakBrowser can auto-detect these from the proxy IP using an offline GeoIP database:
-
-```bash
-pip install cloakbrowser[geoip]   # installs geoip2 + downloads ~70 MB database on first use
-```
-
-```python
-# Timezone and locale auto-set from proxy's IP geolocation
-browser = launch(proxy="http://proxy:8080", geoip=True)
-
-# Works with launch_context too — sets both binary flags AND Playwright context
-context = launch_context(proxy="http://proxy:8080", geoip=True)

-# Explicit values always win over auto-detection
