cloud-powered audits 🐿️☁️

The big one: audits can now call squirrelscan cloud for checks that are impossible to run locally. Log in (squirrel auth login) and these run automatically alongside the local rules — logged-out audits stay 100% local, free, and unlimited, forever.

New cloud rules

• ai/site-type, ai/page-type-match, ai/llm-parsability (upgraded), eeat/authority-signals — AI analysis of how parsers and LLMs see your pages
• adblock/blocked-links, adblock/element-hiding, adblock/privacy-blocked — find resources and markup that EasyList/EasyPrivacy ad blockers will nuke
• links/dead-links — bulk external dead-link checking against a shared cloud cache (way faster than hammering every URL yourself)
• gaps/keywords, gaps/content — competitor keyword & content gap analysis (opt-in)

Cloud browser rendering

• New --render flag (or [cloud] rendering = "browser" in squirrel.toml) crawls JS-heavy sites with a real headless browser instead of plain HTTP.

Credits & spend controls

• New squirrel credits command — balance, plan, and per-feature pricing.
• Audit start now shows who you're logged in as and your credit balance (offline — 0 credits when logged out).
• Spend guardrails in [cloud] config: max_credits_per_audit (default 200), confirm_threshold (default 50, prompts before spending), enabled master switch. End-of-run summary shows exactly what was spent.
• Published reports record the credits an audit used; it shows in the dashboard report view.

Pricing

• Free accounts now get 500 credits every month — no card required.
• Starter ($19/mo) now includes 5,000 credits/month (up from 2,000).
• Credit packs are gone; paid plans can top up any amount from $10 (100 credits per $1, never expire).

Fixes

• content/broken-html now emits stable item ids, so publishing reports for sites with malformed HTML no longer fails validation.

Local audits never cost credits. Run squirrel self update to grab this release.
