v1.4.0

Highlights

• Nearly 4× faster cold starts in like-for-like Docker benchmarks through concurrent Redis validation, progressive browser-pool warmup, and immediate Tier 0 availability
• Bounded memory usage with rolling browser replacement after repeated Tier 3 and Tier 4 contexts
• Reliable challenge responses — persistent Cloudflare interstitials are no longer returned as successful pages
• Deterministic Docker startup with Camoufox, GeoLite2 City, and uBlock Origin bundled and SHA-256 verified
• Non-root and read-only container support with no runtime addon downloads
• Improved Prowlarr compatibility, redirect handling, response metadata, and container diagnostics
