@benthompsondev benthompsondev released this 05 Jul 02:06

CloakGuard v0.8.0 adds a live browser demo and a review step that helps you catch names and terms the built-in rules can't safely detect.

What changed:

  • Added a live browser demo that runs the same client-side scanner as the desktop app, with nothing sent to a server.
  • Added a "Possible names & terms to review" panel that suggests likely names, company terms, and repeated acronyms after a scan. Suggestions never redact anything on their own.
  • Added one-click session hiding for a suggestion, plus a direct link to reusable Cloak Lists.
  • Added an architecture guide, a short animated walkthrough in the README, and a changelog.

Safety:

  • Suggestions are guesses for review, not detections. You choose what to hide.
  • There is still no built-in name dictionary. Name and organization checks stay contextual and low-confidence.
  • Still fully local: no account, backend, or telemetry. Review the cleaned text before sharing it.

Verification:

  • npm audit: 0 vulnerabilities
  • 474 unit tests passed
  • 59 functional browser tests passed
  • 4 Rust tests passed
  • Windows installer build passed

Windows installer:

  • File: CloakGuard-Setup-0.8.0-x64.exe
  • SHA-256: F3558D94EE3537ADEAF12C71E63E50801A200568A4B2822C5566192B44C15698
  • Signature: unsigned (Windows SmartScreen may warn; verify the SHA-256 before running)

CloakGuard is a detection helper, not a guarantee or a compliance product. Always review the cleaned text before sharing it.
