Changelog

Guest Mode with Dynamic Commands

• No Account Dependency - Guest mode now operates independently without requiring use account setup
• Direct Command Invocation - Use \site:account\ or \site@account\ syntax for direct execution
• Automatic Context Management - Guest context by default; same-site reuses active session; cross-site automatically resets
• Simplified Workflow - Skip account management for quick operations

Multi-Platform Direct Switching

• Platform-Scoped Sessions - Seamless switching between platforms with isolated browser contexts
• Dynamic Site Routing - Automatic platform detection and context switching
• Cross-Platform Support - Works across Netflix, Google, Instagram, LinkedIn, and other platforms
• Backward Compatible - Existing account-based workflows continue to work

CLI & Operational Improvements

• Upgrade Command - Binary management and version comparison
• Close Command - Multi-context cleanup and stale state handling
• Netflix Plugin - Expanded content discovery (Tudum, Coming Soon, K-dramas, Anime, What to Watch, What's New search)

Architecture & Core Features

• Implemented full MCP (Model Context Protocol) stdio server for seamless AI agent integration (Claude Desktop, Cursor)
• Exposed core tools: auth_login, auth_list, auth_health, use_account as standardized MCP-compatible tools
• Automatic tool discovery and schema generation from site plugin manifests
• Centralized browser/auth configuration into global ProviderSettings structure

Performance & Reliability

• Critical Fix: MCP response hanging resolved — reduced latency from >120 seconds to <500ms (240× faster)
  • Root cause: RPC daemon subprocess pipe handle inheritance preventing EOF signaling
  • Solution: Channel-based architecture with immediate data transmission via mpsc::channel
• Enhanced HackerNews reader error handling — gracefully handles unparseable items without timeout cascades
• Added internal htmlToText() utility eliminating external dependency
• Fixed MCP tools returning empty results (data completeness now 100%)

Configuration & Maintenance
