Release Notes

Lots of performance improvements and resilience in crawling and analysis - especially with larger crawls on larger websites. llm output format further optimized.

Improvements

  • WAF Challenge Page Detection: Audit now detects bot-protection interstitial pages (Cloudflare, Imperva, PerimeterX, etc.) and excludes them from page-level scoring to prevent false positives. A new crawl/waf-challenge-pages warning surfaces when challenge pages are detected.

  • SQLite Lock Handling: Improved error messages and warnings when database lock conflicts occur from parallel CLI commands. Added 15-second busy timeout to reduce lock failures.

  • Smarter Audit Selection:

    • analyze command now selects the latest completed crawl instead of potentially picking a still-running one
    • report command blocks incomplete or non-analyzed audits with clear error messages
    • Latest audit lookup now matches apex/www domain aliases (e.g., example.com matches www.example.com)
  • LLM Report Output Improvements:

    • Affected pages are now sampled breadth-first (shallower paths first) and capped at 5 per issue
    • Evidence item lists capped to prevent oversized reports
    • Object metadata now serializes properly instead of showing [object Object]
  • Documentation: Added warning about avoiding parallel crawl, audit, analyze, or report commands against the same workspace database
