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.

"""Core browser launch functions for cloakbrowser.
Provides launch() and launch_async() — thin wrappers around Playwright
that use our patched stealth Chromium binary instead of stock Chromium.
Usage:
from cloakbrowser import launch
browser = launch()
page = browser.new_page()
page.goto("https://protected-site.com")
browser.close()

String: 'http://user:pass@proxy:8080' (credentials auto-extracted).
Dict: {"server": "http://proxy:8080", "bypass": ".google.com", ...}
— passed directly to Playwright.
args: Additional Chromium CLI arguments to pass.
stealth_args: Include default stealth fingerprint args (default True).
Set to False if you want to pass your own --fingerprint flags.
timezone: IANA timezone (e.g. 'America/New_York'). Sets --fingerprint-timezone binary flag.
locale: BCP 47 locale (e.g. 'en-US'). Sets --lang binary flag.
geoip: Auto-detect timezone/locale from proxy IP (default False).
Requires ``pip install cloakbrowser[geoip]``. Downloads ~70 MB
GeoLite2-City database on first use. Explicit timezone/locale
always override geoip results.
backend: Playwright backend — 'playwright' (default) or 'patchright'.
Patchright suppresses CDP signals (helps reCAPTCHA v3 Enterprise)
but breaks proxy auth and add_init_script.
Override globally with CLOAKBROWSER_BACKEND env var.
humanize: Enable human-like mouse, keyboard, scroll behavior (default False).
human_preset: Humanize preset — 'default' or 'careful' (default 'default').
human_config: Custom humanize config dict to override preset values.
**kwargs: Passed directly to playwright.chromium.launch().
Returns:
Playwright Browser object — use same API as playwright.chromium.launch().
Example:
>>> from cloakbrowser import launch
>>> browser = launch()
>>> page = browser.new_page()
>>> page.goto("https://bot.incolumitas.com")
