v0.0.101
Released Oct 2, 2026
Release Notes
The CLI's credit estimates and spend line now match how signed-in audits are billed, and a balance that can't cover the page limit lowers the limit instead of running out part-way.
Changed
- Signed-in audits are estimated and billed at 50 credits plus 2 per audited page, however the page was fetched: plain HTTP, a cloud browser render, the render cache, a
304 Not Modified, or a plain fetch after a render failed. Each page is charged once per audit, and rendering does not change the price, so choose--httpor rendering for accuracy, not to save credits. A 19-page audit costs 88 credits. - A cloud audit pays 1 credit per distinct external link it checks, and the same link on twenty pages is one check. Link checks the CLI runs for
squirrel audit, and all internal links, stay free. - A balance that can't cover the page limit now lowers the limit, with a notice saying how many pages it covers, instead of running out part-way.
[cloud] max_credits_per_auditworks the same way: its default of 1,000 covers 475 pages. Below 52 credits (the base plus one page) the audit runs local-only. squirrel credits, the out-of-credits messages and the consent prompt state the same price, and the cloud spend line after an audit matches what your balance was charged, for exampleCloud credits used: 88 (audit-base 50, 19 audited pages 38). Earlier versions are billed the same way, but their estimate and spend line can show less than was charged.- The failed audits guide has a section for each cause a cloud audit can fail with, saying what it means, how to check it and what to do.
