      "Excerpt": "## Problem\n\nWhen a scrape/extract/screenshot/crawl API call returns a 4xx error (e.g., 402 Insufficient Balance), the balance warning suffix is not appended to the error response. The `X-AlterLab-Balance-Warning` header IS parsed on error responses, but `formatErrorResult()` is called directly without appending `formatBalanceWarning(client.getLastBalanceWarning())`.\n\n**Source**: PR #381 — Feat: proactive balance warnings (#28)\n**Agent**: Security + Billing (dual finding)\n**Confidence**: POSSIBLE",

Skips image downloads during browser rendering to reduce proxy bandwidth and speed up scrapes. Not exposed in the MCP scrape/crawl/extract tool schemas.\n\n2. **`GET /crawl/{id}/export`** — new endpoint (PR #21189, deployed June 18). Exports crawl results as CSV/JSON/NDJSON.
