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

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.

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 patches Chromium source code** — fingerprints are modified at the C++ level, compiled into the binary. Detection sites see a real browser because it *is* a real browser.
- **Source-level stealth** — C++ patches handle fingerprints (GPU, screen, UA, hardware reporting) at the binary level. No JavaScript injection, no config-level hacks. Most stealth tools only patch at the surface.
- **Same behavior everywhere** — works identically local, in Docker, and on VPS. No environment-specific patches or config needed.
- **Works with AI agents and automation frameworks** — drop-in stealth for browser-use, Crawl4AI, agent-browser, Claude computer use, and OpenAI Operator. Also tested with Playwright, Puppeteer, and Selenium — point any Chromium-based framework at the binary path.

### Framework Integrations
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
```
