CloakHQ 49d80d3b57 security: pin GitHub Actions to commit SHAs, add Dependabot
Pin all 22 action references across ci.yml, publish.yml, and
attest-release.yml to immutable commit SHAs. Mutable tags can be
force-pushed by attackers (cf. TeamPCP supply chain campaign).

Add Dependabot for github-actions to get weekly PRs when pinned
actions have new versions.

CloakHQ fdc1ae0484 fix: add --ignore-gpu-blocklist to cloakserve for Docker WebGL support
cloakserve bypasses the wrapper and launches Chrome directly, missing
the GPU blocklist fix from 1380c86. Fixes #58.

CloakHQ f91700c4a4 release: v0.3.17 — Windows x64 binary upgrade to 145.0.7632.159.7
- Bump wrapper version to 0.3.17 (Python + JS)
- Update PLATFORM_CHROMIUM_VERSIONS: windows-x64 109.2 → 159.7
- Update patch counts in platform tables (Linux 33, Windows 33)
- Add Linux arm64 to JS README platform table
- Update CHANGELOG with all changes since v0.3.16
2026-03-15 02:42:13 +01:00
CloakHQ 1380c86847 fix: auto-inject --ignore-gpu-blocklist for headed mode and Windows
Headed mode (all platforms): Chromium's GPU blocklist disables WebGL on
software GPUs in Docker/VNC/Xvfb. Flag lets SwiftShader serve WebGL.
Harmless on real GPUs. Headless unaffected. Ref #56.

Windows (all modes): GPU blocklist also blocks WebGPU for the Microsoft
Basic Render Driver. Dawn's adapter_blocklist bypass alone isn't enough.
2026-03-15 02:23:48 +01:00
CloakHQ 83e3b30117 feat: add 8 framework integration examples + README integrations section
Add examples/integrations/ with tested examples for browser-use, Crawl4AI,
Scrapling, LangChain, Selenium, undetected-chromedriver, and agent-browser.
Add js/examples/stagehand.ts for Stagehand (TypeScript).

README: new "Framework Integrations" subsection with two integration
patterns (direct binary launch vs CDP connect) and table linking all 8 examples.

CloakBrowser works with any framework that uses Playwright or Chromium:
```python
# Option 1: Framework launches our binary directly (Selenium, Stagehand, UC)
from cloakbrowser.download import ensure_binary
from cloakbrowser.config import get_default_stealth_args
binary_path = ensure_binary() # auto-downloads if needed
stealth_args = get_default_stealth_args() # all fingerprint flags
# Option 2: CloakBrowser launches first, framework connects via CDP (browser-use, Crawl4AI, Scrapling)
from cloakbrowser import launch_async
browser = await launch_async(args=["--remote-debugging-port=9242"])
# Connect your framework to http://127.0.0.1:9242 — all stealth flags are set
