      "Title": "fix(mcp): the download tool returns the caller's URL with its password",
      "Excerpt": "## Description\n\nThe MCP `download` tool returns the caller's URL in its result with the user name and password still in it. The CLI `download` command prints the same URL. Expected: the URL comes back without its userinfo, as it does from the other entry points.\n\nExample: downloading `https://alice:hunter2@example.com/file.pdf` returns that string, password included.\n\n## Steps to reproduce\n\n1. Start a local server that serves an HTML page.\n2. Call the MCP `download` tool with the page's address…",

      "Title": "fix(browser): a proxy address with an upper-case scheme loses its credentials",
      "Excerpt": "A proxy address with an upper-case scheme, such as `HTTP://user:pass@proxy:8080`, loses its configured credentials without any error: the native browser backend recognises the credentials only after a lower-case `http://` prefix. The proxy is then used without authentication, so requests fail with a 407 or, on an open proxy, go out unauthenticated.\n\n## Where\n`crates/crawlberg/src/native_browser.rs:155-157`\n\n## Fix\nParse the proxy address with the URL parser and take the scheme, user and…",

      "Title": "fix(api): an address with an upper-case scheme is refused",
      "Excerpt": "The REST API and the MCP tools refuse a caller-supplied address whose scheme is not lower case, such as `HTTP://example.com/` or `Https://example.com/`. A URL scheme is case-insensitive, and the URL parser accepts these addresses.\n\n## Where\n- `crates/crawlberg/src/api/handlers.rs:62`\n- `crates/crawlberg/src/mcp/tool_result.rs:10`\n\n## Fix\nParse the address with the URL parser and check the parsed scheme, instead of testing the raw text for an `http://` or `https://` prefix. Use one check for…",

      "Title": "fix(api): a REST caller can send backtracking URL patterns that stall the crawl",
      "Excerpt": "After #181, a REST client can send `include_paths` and `exclude_paths` patterns that use backtracking (look-around or backreferences). A pathological pattern costs about 34 ms per URL before it hits the backtracking limit, and the check runs on the async executor. The crawled site decides the URL count and the remote client decides the patterns, so one crawl request can stall the server's executor, and it logs one warning per URL.\n\n## Fix\n\nFor REST and MCP callers, either reject patterns that…",

      "Title": "fix(interact): with an external browser, interact intercepts every tab of the remote browser",
      "Excerpt": "After #163, `interact` enables its request check on the browser session. With `browser.endpoint` set, that session is the caller's shared browser, so while interact runs, it pauses and checks the requests of every tab, including pages that other clients opened.\n\n## Decision needed\n\nChecking the whole browser is what covers popups. Options: keep it and document it; limit the check to targets that interact's own page opened (by opener id); or refuse interact on a shared browser unless the caller…",

      "Title": "fix(api): the MCP and REST crawl tools lack the robots and path-pattern settings",
      "Excerpt": "The CLI and the library let a caller set `respect_robots_txt`, which after #154 also controls nofollow handling. The MCP crawl tool and the REST crawl endpoint accept no such input, so their callers cannot turn it on or off.\n\n## Fix\n\nAdd the setting to the MCP tool parameters and the REST request body, with the same default and validation as the CLI.\n\n\nThe REST crawl request (`crates/crawlberg/src/api/types.rs`, around line 50) also takes `include_paths` and `exclude_paths` but neither…",
