v0.2.1 — the help text was still lying
--helpwas still lying. 0.2.0 implemented both of this site's
captchas and corrected the README — but not the engines' own text, which is
what a user reads first.
Two engines were still telling readers "NO challenge has ever been observed
on this site … neither setting has anything to act on today, and neither
helps with a refusal". Playwright's said Cloudflare's challenge "is reported
as blocked instead, so no solve is attempted or billed for it". Both describe
a repo that stopped existing in 0.2.0.
Fixed
-
Every user-facing claim that a captcha cannot be solved is gone — from
--help, from four docstrings and frompage_flow.block_advice. What
replaced them is what was measured: reCAPTCHA Enterprise ~55s /
$0.00299, Turnstile 11s / $0.00145, and PerimeterX's widget-less stub
as the one refusal nothing can buy. -
--helpnamed a host the parser refuses..co.thwas dropped in 0.1.0
— it redirects to robinhood.co.th, a different company — andHOSTShas
held ten entries ever since, while three engines andoutput_writer.py
went on saying "eleven country sites" and playwright's--urlhelp listed
.co.thamong the supported ones. -
The README contradicted itself about Cloudflare. One section said a
managed challenge is what a non-browser client gets and that a browser
engine seeing one means "something has stripped the context" — three
sections above the Turnstile section explaining thatfoodpanda.comserves
one to a real browser, which is how this repo solved one. Same
contradiction in TROUBLESHOOTING.md.
Added
-
A flag reference in the README. There was none: sixteen real flags were
documented nowhere but--help. Four tables — core, proxies, 2Captcha, and
the engine differences — with defaults and what each flag actually does. -
Three checks, because prose does not fail a build on its own: a
banned-phrase check over every shipped.pyand.md; a check that the
documented host count equalslen(HOSTS)and that no user-facing text
advertises a refused host; and a check that every flag an engine accepts
appears in the README, that every in-page link resolves, and that each exit
code is documented.Each was verified to fail when its fix is reverted. A check that cannot
fail is not a check.
