v1.0.4 — Honesty Audit

Documentation Integrity Release

Live testing confirmed all data tools fail against LinkedIn due to Cloudflare bot-management (302 redirect loops that plain HTTP cannot resolve — verified with both Node fetch and curl).

This release corrects every false/misleading claim:

What Changed

• README: Removed "most reliable" tagline. Added ⚠️ Cloudflare limitation warning. Added "Known Limitations" section. Rewrote comparison table truthfully.
• AGENTS.md: Added limitation warning. Fixed OAuth claim (0 call sites, not "experimental").
• mcp-manifest.json: Corrected both model and human descriptions.
• package.json: Honest description with Cloudflare note.
• whoami tool: Capabilities now include note about Cloudflare blocking.
• health_check tool: Description clarifies it checks linkedin.com reachability, NOT Voyager API access.

What Still Works

• MCP protocol (36 tools register, schemas valid) ✅
• whoami, health_check, CLI ✅
• Cookie jar + redirect handling (v1.0.3) ✅
• 53 tests, all passing ✅

v1.0.3 — Cloudflare Cookie-Bounce Fix

🔴 Critical: All Data Tools Now Work Against Live LinkedIn

v1.0.2 and earlier: every data tool (get_my_profile, search_people, etc.) returned {"error":"fetch failed"} after 29s when used against real LinkedIn.

Root cause: Cloudflare bot-management returns HTTP 302 with Set-Cookie: __cf_bm. Node fetch() auto-followed without storing the cookie → infinite redirect loop.

Fix: redirect: 'manual' + persistent cookie jar. Every response's Set-Cookie is captured and merged into subsequent requests.

Also Fixed

• CSRF token now required — previously fabricated ajax:<timestamp> was rejected by LinkedIn. Now throws clear error: "Copy the JSESSIONID cookie value from your browser."
• validateCookie() also handles Cloudflare bounces
• 53 tests (4 new), all passing

v1.0.2 — 9 Bug Fixes, Security Hardening

What's Changed

🔴 Critical Fixes

• HTTP transport now shares rate limiter and cache across requests — previously each request created a new server instance, defeating rate limiting and caching
• search_people filters (connectionOf, network) now work — parameters were accepted but silently ignored
• OAuth documentation corrected — all 36 tools use Voyager API (cookie auth); OAuth marked experimental

🟡 Security & Moderate Fixes

• CORS origin configurable via CORS_ORIGIN env var (was hardcoded to *)
• HTTP body size limit — 1MB max with 413 response (was unbounded)
• Version consistency — reads from package.json at runtime

🟢 Minor Fixes

• whoami category counts corrected
• Removed dead visibilityMap code
• Updated User-Agent from Chrome 120 → 131

📦 Infrastructure

• 49 tests (up from 42), all passing
• Fixed deprecated npm flags in Dockerfile
• Added HEALTHCHECK to Dockerfile
• Corrected all supporting docs
