 - **[wrapper]** **`info` is now a full diagnostics command** — it reports the binary that will actually launch given your license, runs a launch test (`chrome --version`, plus a missing-shared-library probe on Linux), validates the license key to show the real tier (`free`/`solo`/`team`/`business`, or `invalid`), and checks Windows-font availability (Linux), the GeoIP database, and optional dependencies. `--quick` skips the launch test; `--json` emits machine-readable output. Python, JS, and .NET.
 - **[wrapper]** One-time startup notice when spoofing the Windows platform on a Linux host without Windows fonts installed, with guidance to install them for best results. Best-effort and silent on error; suppress with `CLOAKBROWSER_SUPPRESS_FONT_WARNING=1`. Python, JS, and .NET.
 - **[wrapper]** The first-launch banner now re-shows to free users every 3 days (Pro users still see it once). Python, JS, and .NET.

-## Latest: v0.4.4 — Version pinning / rollback (Chromium 148.0.7778.215.3)
+## Latest: v0.4.5 — 59 source-level stealth patches, now on every platform (Chromium 148.0.7778.215.3)
 
 - **CloakBrowser Pro** — the latest binary (Chromium 148.0.7778.215.3, 59 source-level patches) is available to Pro subscribers, now on **all platforms including macOS** (Apple Silicon + Intel); v146 stays free forever. Set a `license_key` (`licenseKey` in JS) or the `CLOAKBROWSER_LICENSE_KEY` env var and the wrapper fetches the latest build automatically. See [CloakBrowser Pro](#cloakbrowser-pro)
 - **.NET 8 / C# client** — CloakBrowser now ships as a NuGet package (`CloakBrowser`), mirroring the Python and JS wrappers.
