Release Notes
[0.2.0-alpha]
Core Update: Quik Transport Layer Integration
The v0.2.0-alpha release introduces the proprietary Quik transport layer, a critical evolution in the Phantom Engine's networking capabilities. This update transitions the project from third-party dependencies to a custom-engineered stack designed for absolute network identity parity.
High-Fidelity Network Identity
The integration of Quik enables bit-perfect replication of Chrome 134 network fingerprints. By operating at the byte level of the TLS and HTTP/2 protocols, the engine now presents a cryptographic and behavioral profile that is indistinguishable from a standard Chromium instance.
- TLS Precision: Implementation of JA4-compliant handshakes, including GREASE extension permutation and Post-Quantum hybrid key exchange.
- HTTP/2 Signaling: Strict enforcement of Chromium-identical frame sequencing, window updates, and pseudo-header ordering (
:method,:authority,:scheme,:path). - WAF Transparency: Successfully validated against top-tier bot detection systems, ensuring seamless navigation through heavily protected infrastructure.
Advanced Navigation Orchestration
The navigation pipeline has been hardened to support complex, stateful web interactions:
- Stealth Redirect Handling: Proprietary state machine for managing multi-hop redirects while maintaining accurate Chromium behavioral metadata (e.g.,
sec-fetch-*header mutations). - Resource Resolution Integrity: Added comprehensive tracking of final-hop URLs to ensure correct resolution of relative assets and subresources.
System Stabilization
- Workspace Synchronization: Unified all 11+ internal crates under the v0.2.0 specification for cross-module consistency.
- Dependency Hardening: Streamlined the dependency graph and resolved transitive version conflicts to ensure a robust, production-ready build environment.
