Full Release Notes

## Stealth Chromium Build

Pre-built Chromium with 58 source-level fingerprint patches.

See the full [CHANGELOG](https://github.com/CloakHQ/CloakBrowser/blob/main/CHANGELOG.md) for details.

### What's New (Binary)

- Rendering consistency improvements across Linux and Windows — corrected GPU, display, and graphics parameters to match stock Chrome 146 profiles
- Windows: native GPU/rendering values now pass through directly instead of being spoofed, matching real hardware behavior
- Storage normalization fix for Windows
- HTTP proxy inline credential support at the network layer

### What's New (Wrapper v0.3.27–v0.3.30)

- **`extension_paths`** — load Chrome extensions in all launch functions
- **Humanize actionability** — auto-wait for visible, enabled, stable elements before humanized actions
- **Per-call `human_config`** — override humanize settings on individual method calls
- **Composable JS helpers** — `buildLaunchOptions()` and `humanizeBrowser()` for custom Playwright integrations
- **Puppeteer `launchPersistentContext()`** — persistent profiles in Puppeteer
- **GeoIP timeout guard** — bounded with 10s timeout so `launch()` cannot stall
- **`cloakserve` security** — WebSocket origin guard, fingerprint seed sanitization
- **Nix flake** for NixOS users
