` instead of its URL path, so a ZIM reader's search box suggests pages by their readable title. Typing into Kiwix's search now offers "Five Founders" or "Female Founders" rather than a filename, because the title pointer list a reader's suggestion search walks carries the real page titles. A page with no `<title>` still falls back to its path, and the per-page title also flows into the `title` column of `kage parquet export`. ### Added - `kage clone --mobile` makes legacy "font-era" sites readable on a phone. Sites from the 1990s and early 2000s — paulgraham.com is a good example — embed typography directly in the HTML with `<font size="2" face="verdana">`, table-based layouts, and no viewport declaration. A mobile browser receiving that markup without a viewport meta shrinks everything to desktop scale, and the `<font size="2">` instruction then makes the already-small text microscopic. Passing `--mobile` injects two things into every saved page before it is written: a `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">` tag so the browser stops shrinking, and a small `<style>` block that lifts the base font size to 18 px, inherits that size through `<font>` elements, caps the content width at 720 px, loosens line height to 1.7, and hides image-map navigation elements (usually a GIF served from an external CDN that 404s offline anyway). The override is deliberately last in `<head>` so it wins specificity ties, and it does not touch pages that already carry a viewport and readable type sizes. - The packing guide now documents how search works on a kage archive: title suggestions in any ZIM reader, and full-text search of page bodies through `kage parquet export` and DuckDB. A Xapian full-text index is deliberately not written, since Xapian is GPL and kage is MIT. ## [0.3.4] - 2026-06-17 ### Fixed - `kage serve` now stops on Ctrl-C instead of ignoring it. The preview server was started with a blocking call that never watched for an interrupt, so the only way to stop it was to kill the process. kage now shuts the server down gracefully on an interrupt or a `SIGTERM`, with a short timeout before it forces the listener closed, so a preview exits cleanly. Thanks to Xirui Wang (#35) and Kaidi Zhao (#38). - A page whose JavaScript builds a deeply nested object graph no longer fails to clone. Chrome's DevTools Protocol returns "Object reference chain is too long" while loading such a page, but the HTML has already loaded and the error is only about Chrome's internal object tracking, not the document. kage now recognises that specific error and finishes rendering the page instead of dropping it (reported in #36). Thanks to Gautam Kumar (#39). ## [0.3.3] - 2026-06-16 ### Fixed - Chrome no longer downloads a file to your Downloads folder when a crawl follows a link that turns out to be a binary (reported in #32). An extensionless link is queued as a page, so the page worker navigated to it in Chrome, and a link that served a zip or a CSV made Chrome save the file to `~/Downloads`, a surprise side effect of a clone. kage now denies Chrome-initiated downloads browser-wide, since every asset is fetched through kage's own downloader, and detects a navigation whose response is not HTML and reroutes that URL to the asset downloader, where the size and media policy decides whether to localise it or leave it on the live web. ## [0.3.2] - 2026-06-16 ### Fixed - Saved pages now declare their character encoding, so text no longer mojibakes in a reader. kage writes every page as UTF-8, but a source that set its charset only in the HTTP `Content-Type` header, with no `<meta charset>` in the markup, lost that signal once the page became a standalone file. A reader serving the bytes without a charset then fell back to its locale encoding and turned every curly quote, dash, and non-breaking space into mojibake (reported in #16 and #29). kage now inserts a `<meta charset="utf-8">` at the top of `<head>` when the page does not already declare one, so the page is self-describing in any reader. ## [0.3.1] - 2026-06-15 ### Fixed - A served mirror whose entry point is a nested page no longer loses its CSS and images when opened at the root. kage saves each page's asset links as mirror-relative paths (`../_kage/...`) computed for that page's own location, but the viewer answered `/` with the main page's bytes in place, so the browser resolved those relative URLs against `/` and missed every one. A `developer.apple.com/documentation` mirror, whose main page is `developer.apple.com/documentation/index.html`, landed at `/` completely unstyled. kage now redirects `/` to the main page's canonical content path, the way the archive's `W/mainPage` redirect already does, so the browser resolves the page's relative assets correctly. Kiwix was unaffected because it follows that redirect itself. ## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - `kage parquet export <file.zim>` and `kage parquet import <file.parquet>` convert a packed archive to a columnar Parquet table and back. The table is flat, one row per archive entry, with clear columns (url, host, title, mime, extracted text, content), so it drops straight into the tooling a dataset host like Hugging Face expects, and DuckDB or pandas can query it as is. The column names follow the open-index/open-markdown dataset (`doc_id`, `url`, `host`, `crawl_date`, `content_length`, `text_length`, `text`), with `doc_id` a deterministic UUID v5 of the page URL, so a kage export sits alongside other web-crawl datasets. The conversion is lossless: a ZIM round-tripped through Parquet reproduces every entry, its metadata, and the main page byte for byte. - `kage pack --incremental` keeps a small cache sidecar next to the output and reuses the compression of any cluster whose bytes have not changed since the last pack. Compressing clusters with zstd is the dominant cost of packing a large mirror, so re-packing after a small change (a `--refresh`, a handful of edited pages) only compresses what actually changed instead of the whole archive. A cached cluster is byte-for-byte what a fresh compression produces, so the archive stays deterministic and valid. The pack reports how many clusters it reused versus compressed. - Identical pages are now stored once. When a rendered page's bytes match a page already written, kage stores it as a hard link to the first copy instead of a second full file. This collapses the duplicate content a faceted site spawns when many `?q=…`/`?page=…` URLs all render the same page. The final summary reports how many pages were deduped this way. ### Changed - Clones no longer pull a site's bulk downloads into the mirror by default. Video and audio, installers and disk images (`.dmg`, `.pkg`, `.exe`, `.msi`, ...), archives, and PDFs are left pointing at their live URL instead of downloaded, because they are rarely needed to read a site offline yet routinely make up most of its bytes (a developer.apple.com crawl was 18 of 19 GB of such assets). Page-rendering assets (images, fonts, CSS) are unaffected. `--keep-media` restores the old behavior, and `--skip-ext .foo` leaves more extensions remote. - Assets are localized only from the seed's own registrable domain by default. developer.apple.com still pulls from www.apple.com and images.apple.com, but a separate brand domain or an unrelated third party (an embedded tracker, an off-topic CDN) is left on the live web rather than mirrored. `--all-asset-hosts` restores downloading assets from any host. - The progress line now counts real pages. "pages" is the number of distinct URL paths written, and the query-string variants that one path can spawn by the thousand are shown separately as "variants", so the live counter tracks the site's real size instead of being inflated by `?q=…` permutations. ### Fixed - An asset larger than the size cap (`--max-asset-mb`, 25 by default) is now skipped instead of being truncated to a corrupt fragment. The cap was a `LimitReader`, so an over-size file was saved as exactly the first N MB of itself: a broken video or installer that wasted disk and would never play or run. kage now checks the response size and leaves an over-cap asset out of the mirror entirely, pointing at its live URL. On a developer.apple.com crawl this was around a gigabyte of truncated WWDC videos and `.dmg` installers. - An asset URL whose query string carries a raw space is now requested with the space percent-encoded, so the server gets a valid request instead of rejecting it. Real sites bust a stylesheet's cache with a date, producing an href like `styles/main.css?Thursday, 26-Feb-2026 16:26:41 UTC`; a browser encodes the spaces before requesting, but kage was passing them through verbatim and the server answered `400 Bad Request`. On a developer.apple.com crawl this was the cause of the large majority of the download errors. The query is re-encoded on the canonical URL, so the on-disk key matches the fixed request. ## [0.2.1] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - ZIM archives now carry the metadata Kiwix and `zimcheck` treat as mandatory. Every archive gets a `Name` and a `Description` (a host-derived line when `--description` is not given), and, when the mirror has a usable favicon, an `Illustrator_48x48@1` entry: the icon rescaled to a 48x48 PNG, which is the book icon Kiwix shows in its library. ## [0.2.0] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - `kage pack --app` wraps the packed viewer in a double-click desktop app with the site's favicon as the icon. The flag builds on the binary format, so it composes with `--base` (including a `webview` base) and `--icon`. On macOS it writes a `.app` bundle (`Info.plist`, the viewer under `Contents/MacOS`, and an `.icns` generated from the favicon); on Linux, with a Linux `--base`, it writes an AppImage-style `.AppDir` and folds it into a single `.AppImage` when `appimagetool` is installed. The icon is found in the mirror automatically (preferring a large `apple-touch-icon.png`, then `favicon.png` or a PNG-based `favicon.ico`) and can be overridden with `--icon`. - The release now ships a GUI-subsystem Windows base, `kage_<version>_windows-gui_<arch>.zip`. Packing a viewer onto it with `--format binary --base` produces a `.exe` that opens with no console window behind it, the Windows equivalent of the `.app` double-click experience. ### Changed - Cross-platform packing detects the base binary's target OS from its executable header (ELF, PE, or Mach-O) rather than its file name, so a Windows viewer always gets a `.exe` suffix and the run hint names the right platform even when the base is named without one. ## [0.1.2] - 2026-06-15 ### Security - Chrome now keeps its sandbox on by default. It was previously launched with `--no-sandbox` unconditionally, which removed Chrome's main line of defense when rendering pages from the open web (reported in #10). The sandbox is now dropped only where it genuinely cannot run: inside a container, or when running as root, and the choice is logged so it is never silent. ### Added - Container-aware Chrome flags. kage detects a container from the `IN_DOCKER` environment variable or a `/.dockerenv` marker and, only there, drops the sandbox and adds `--disable-dev-shm-usage` (the default 64 MB `/dev/shm` is too small for Chrome on large pages). Outside a container the faster shared memory is left in place. - Asset downloads retry on a transient failure (a 403/429, a 5xx, or a network blip) with a short backoff, recovering files that bot-protection rejects on the first request of a burst. Permanent failures (404, 401, ...) are not retried. ### Changed - Clearer crawl error reporting. Each failure is logged with a classified reason (`HTTP 403 Forbidden`, `timed out`, ...), the URL, and the page that referenced it, and the end-of-run summary lists what went wrong instead of printing only a count. ### Fixed - The container image now runs. Chrome aborted on launch with `chrome_crashpad_handler: --database is required`, so kage disables Chrome's crash reporter inside a container, and the `kage` user now has a writable home (the mounted `/out` volume) so the default output, resume state, and Chrome's profile no longer fail with a permission error (issue #7). ## [0.1.1] - 2026-06-14 ### Added - `kage pack <mirror-dir>` packs a cloned folder into one distributable file. `--format zim` (the default) writes an open ZIM archive, the same single-file format Kiwix uses; `--format binary` appends that archive to a copy of kage to produce a self-contained executable that serves the site offline when run. Flags cover the output path, metadata (`--title`, `--description`, `--language`, `--date`), a `--base` binary for cross-platform viewers, and `--no-compress`. - `kage open <file.zim>` serves a packed ZIM over a local HTTP server and opens your browser, the read side of `kage pack --format zim`. - An optional native-window viewer. Built with `-tags webview` (which needs cgo), `kage open` and a packed binary present the offline site in a real window backed by the operating system's WebView (WKWebView, WebView2, WebKitGTK) instead of a browser tab, so a packed kage feels like a standalone app. The default build stays pure Go (`CGO_ENABLED=0`) and falls back to the system browser, so the release pipeline is unchanged. - A pure-Go `zim` package that writes and reads the ZIM format: a fixed header, MIME and pointer lists, zstd-compressed (or stored) clusters, redirects, and a trailing MD5. It reads xz clusters so archives from other tooling open, and writes zstd or stored only. Packing is deterministic: the same mirror produces a byte-identical archive, with the UUID derived from the content rather than randomised. ## [0.1.0] - 2026-06-14 The first release. kage clones a live website into a self-contained folder you can browse offline, with every script stripped out. ### Added - `kage clone <url>` renders each page in headless Chrome, snapshots the final DOM, removes every `<script>`, `on*` handler, and `javascript:` URL, and downloads the CSS, images, fonts, and media, rewriting them to local paths. - `kage serve [dir]` runs a local static file server over a cloned folder so the mirror's links and assets resolve the way they would on a real host. - Deterministic URL-to-path mapping: pages become `<slug>/index.html` directories, assets live under the reserved `_kage/<host>/` tree, and query strings fold into a short hash suffix so versioned URLs never collide. - Three concurrency tiers run in parallel: page-render workers (`--workers`), asset-download workers (`--asset-workers`), and a Chrome page pool (`--browser-pages`). - A polite crawl by default: honours `robots.txt`, seeds from `sitemap.xml`, and scopes to the seed host. `--scope-prefix`, `--max-depth`, `--max-pages`, `--subdomains`, and `--exclude` shape the frontier. - Idempotent, resumable crawling. Each page is keyed by the file it writes, so the same URL reached over http and https, with or without a trailing slash, or as `/index.html` versus `/`, is fetched exactly once. A re-run resumes from `_kage/state.json`; `--refresh` re-renders a mirror in place to pull in changed content; `--force` wipes and starts clean; `--no-resume` runs stateless. - Defaults to a per-user data directory (`$HOME/data/kage`), overridable with `-o/--out`. - Cross-platform distribution: prebuilt archives, `.deb`/`.rpm`/`.apk` packages, a multi-arch container image on GHCR (Chromium bundled), checksums, SBOMs, and a cosign signature, all cut from one version tag by GoReleaser.

# Changelog All notable changes to kage are recorded here. The format follows [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/), and the project aims to follow [Semantic Versioning](https://semver.org/). ## [Unreleased] ## [0.3.9] - 2026-07-08 ### Fixed - The Windows build no longer embeds the leakless watchdog binary that Windows Defender flags as `Trojan:Win32/Kepavll!rfn`, which made a fresh `scoop install` fail with a virus warning on `leakless.exe` ([#68](https://github.com/tamnd/kage/issues/68)). go-rod's launcher imports [leakless](https://github.com/ysmood/leakless), which base64/gzip-embeds a prebuilt helper for every platform and links the Windows one into `kage.exe`. kage already launches Chrome with leakless disabled, so the helper never ran, only added the flagged bytes. A `replace` directive now points the package at an API-compatible stub under `third_party/leakless` that carries no embedded binary, dropping about 1.28 MB from the Windows build. ## [0.3.6] - 2026-06-19 ### Fixed - `kage clone --mobile` now produces a correct layout when the source page uses table-based navigation with image maps, as paulgraham.com does. Three rendering problems appeared in Kiwix iOS after the 0.3.5 release: a tall blank box at the top of every page, content clipped on the right edge, and a narrow spacer column occupying screen space. The blank box came from hiding only the `` element while leaving its `` container in place; the cell collapsed to empty but kept its full height. `td:has(>img[usemap])` now hides the entire nav column rather than just the image inside it. The right-side clip came from `width="435"` set directly as an HTML attribute on the inner content table; the earlier `max-width` CSS rule does not override HTML attributes. A new `[width]{width:auto!important;max-width:100%!important}` rule cancels every fixed HTML width attribute on any element — tables, cells, and images alike — so the content column stretches to fill the phone screen. The spacer column (a 26 px `` holding a 1×1 transparent GIF) kept its allocated width for the same reason; `td:has(>img[src*="trans_1x1"]:only-child)` hides it alongside the nav column. Two additional rules round out the fix: `*{box-sizing:border-box}` prevents padding from pushing content past the viewport edge, and `img{max-width:100%;height:auto}` keeps any inline photos within their column. ## [0.3.5] - 2026-06-19 ### Changed - Each saved page is now stored in a packed ZIM under its own `` instead of its URL path, so a ZIM reader's search box suggests pages by their readable title. Typing into Kiwix's search now offers "Five Founders" or "Female Founders" rather than a filename, because the title pointer list a reader's suggestion search walks carries the real page titles. A page with no `<title>` still falls back to its path, and the per-page title also flows into the `title` column of `kage parquet export`. ### Added - `kage clone --mobile` makes legacy "font-era" sites readable on a phone. Sites from the 1990s and early 2000s — paulgraham.com is a good example — embed typography directly in the HTML with `<font size="2" face="verdana">`, table-based layouts, and no viewport declaration. A mobile browser receiving that markup without a viewport meta shrinks everything to desktop scale, and the `<font size="2">` instruction then makes the already-small text microscopic. Passing `--mobile` injects two things into every saved page before it is written: a `<meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1">` tag so the browser stops shrinking, and a small `<style>` block that lifts the base font size to 18 px, inherits that size through `<font>` elements, caps the content width at 720 px, loosens line height to 1.7, and hides image-map navigation elements (usually a GIF served from an external CDN that 404s offline anyway). The override is deliberately last in `<head>` so it wins specificity ties, and it does not touch pages that already carry a viewport and readable type sizes. - The packing guide now documents how search works on a kage archive: title suggestions in any ZIM reader, and full-text search of page bodies through `kage parquet export` and DuckDB. A Xapian full-text index is deliberately not written, since Xapian is GPL and kage is MIT. ## [0.3.4] - 2026-06-17 ### Fixed - `kage serve` now stops on Ctrl-C instead of ignoring it. The preview server was started with a blocking call that never watched for an interrupt, so the only way to stop it was to kill the process. kage now shuts the server down gracefully on an interrupt or a `SIGTERM`, with a short timeout before it forces the listener closed, so a preview exits cleanly. Thanks to Xirui Wang (#35) and Kaidi Zhao (#38). - A page whose JavaScript builds a deeply nested object graph no longer fails to clone. Chrome's DevTools Protocol returns "Object reference chain is too long" while loading such a page, but the HTML has already loaded and the error is only about Chrome's internal object tracking, not the document. kage now recognises that specific error and finishes rendering the page instead of dropping it (reported in #36). Thanks to Gautam Kumar (#39). ## [0.3.3] - 2026-06-16 ### Fixed - Chrome no longer downloads a file to your Downloads folder when a crawl follows a link that turns out to be a binary (reported in #32). An extensionless link is queued as a page, so the page worker navigated to it in Chrome, and a link that served a zip or a CSV made Chrome save the file to `~/Downloads`, a surprise side effect of a clone. kage now denies Chrome-initiated downloads browser-wide, since every asset is fetched through kage's own downloader, and detects a navigation whose response is not HTML and reroutes that URL to the asset downloader, where the size and media policy decides whether to localise it or leave it on the live web. ## [0.3.2] - 2026-06-16 ### Fixed - Saved pages now declare their character encoding, so text no longer mojibakes in a reader. kage writes every page as UTF-8, but a source that set its charset only in the HTTP `Content-Type` header, with no `<meta charset>` in the markup, lost that signal once the page became a standalone file. A reader serving the bytes without a charset then fell back to its locale encoding and turned every curly quote, dash, and non-breaking space into mojibake (reported in #16 and #29). kage now inserts a `<meta charset="utf-8">` at the top of `<head>` when the page does not already declare one, so the page is self-describing in any reader. ## [0.3.1] - 2026-06-15 ### Fixed - A served mirror whose entry point is a nested page no longer loses its CSS and images when opened at the root. kage saves each page's asset links as mirror-relative paths (`../_kage/...`) computed for that page's own location, but the viewer answered `/` with the main page's bytes in place, so the browser resolved those relative URLs against `/` and missed every one. A `developer.apple.com/documentation` mirror, whose main page is `developer.apple.com/documentation/index.html`, landed at `/` completely unstyled. kage now redirects `/` to the main page's canonical content path, the way the archive's `W/mainPage` redirect already does, so the browser resolves the page's relative assets correctly. Kiwix was unaffected because it follows that redirect itself. ## [0.3.0] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - `kage parquet export <file.zim>` and `kage parquet import <file.parquet>` convert a packed archive to a columnar Parquet table and back. The table is flat, one row per archive entry, with clear columns (url, host, title, mime, extracted text, content), so it drops straight into the tooling a dataset host like Hugging Face expects, and DuckDB or pandas can query it as is. The column names follow the open-index/open-markdown dataset (`doc_id`, `url`, `host`, `crawl_date`, `content_length`, `text_length`, `text`), with `doc_id` a deterministic UUID v5 of the page URL, so a kage export sits alongside other web-crawl datasets. The conversion is lossless: a ZIM round-tripped through Parquet reproduces every entry, its metadata, and the main page byte for byte. - `kage pack --incremental` keeps a small cache sidecar next to the output and reuses the compression of any cluster whose bytes have not changed since the last pack. Compressing clusters with zstd is the dominant cost of packing a large mirror, so re-packing after a small change (a `--refresh`, a handful of edited pages) only compresses what actually changed instead of the whole archive. A cached cluster is byte-for-byte what a fresh compression produces, so the archive stays deterministic and valid. The pack reports how many clusters it reused versus compressed. - Identical pages are now stored once. When a rendered page's bytes match a page already written, kage stores it as a hard link to the first copy instead of a second full file. This collapses the duplicate content a faceted site spawns when many `?q=…`/`?page=…` URLs all render the same page. The final summary reports how many pages were deduped this way. ### Changed - Clones no longer pull a site's bulk downloads into the mirror by default. Video and audio, installers and disk images (`.dmg`, `.pkg`, `.exe`, `.msi`, ...), archives, and PDFs are left pointing at their live URL instead of downloaded, because they are rarely needed to read a site offline yet routinely make up most of its bytes (a developer.apple.com crawl was 18 of 19 GB of such assets). Page-rendering assets (images, fonts, CSS) are unaffected. `--keep-media` restores the old behavior, and `--skip-ext .foo` leaves more extensions remote. - Assets are localized only from the seed's own registrable domain by default. developer.apple.com still pulls from www.apple.com and images.apple.com, but a separate brand domain or an unrelated third party (an embedded tracker, an off-topic CDN) is left on the live web rather than mirrored. `--all-asset-hosts` restores downloading assets from any host. - The progress line now counts real pages. "pages" is the number of distinct URL paths written, and the query-string variants that one path can spawn by the thousand are shown separately as "variants", so the live counter tracks the site's real size instead of being inflated by `?q=…` permutations. ### Fixed - An asset larger than the size cap (`--max-asset-mb`, 25 by default) is now skipped instead of being truncated to a corrupt fragment. The cap was a `LimitReader`, so an over-size file was saved as exactly the first N MB of itself: a broken video or installer that wasted disk and would never play or run. kage now checks the response size and leaves an over-cap asset out of the mirror entirely, pointing at its live URL. On a developer.apple.com crawl this was around a gigabyte of truncated WWDC videos and `.dmg` installers. - An asset URL whose query string carries a raw space is now requested with the space percent-encoded, so the server gets a valid request instead of rejecting it. Real sites bust a stylesheet's cache with a date, producing an href like `styles/main.css?Thursday, 26-Feb-2026 16:26:41 UTC`; a browser encodes the spaces before requesting, but kage was passing them through verbatim and the server answered `400 Bad Request`. On a developer.apple.com crawl this was the cause of the large majority of the download errors. The query is re-encoded on the canonical URL, so the on-disk key matches the fixed request. ## [0.2.1] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - ZIM archives now carry the metadata Kiwix and `zimcheck` treat as mandatory. Every archive gets a `Name` and a `Description` (a host-derived line when `--description` is not given), and, when the mirror has a usable favicon, an `Illustrator_48x48@1` entry: the icon rescaled to a 48x48 PNG, which is the book icon Kiwix shows in its library. ## [0.2.0] - 2026-06-15 ### Added - `kage pack --app` wraps the packed viewer in a double-click desktop app with the site's favicon as the icon. The flag builds on the binary format, so it composes with `--base` (including a `webview` base) and `--icon`. On macOS it writes a `.app` bundle (`Info.plist`, the viewer under `Contents/MacOS`, and an `.icns` generated from the favicon); on Linux, with a Linux `--base`, it writes an AppImage-style `.AppDir` and folds it into a single `.AppImage` when `appimagetool` is installed. The icon is found in the mirror automatically (preferring a large `apple-touch-icon.png`, then `favicon.png` or a PNG-based `favicon.ico`) and can be overridden with `--icon`. - The release now ships a GUI-subsystem Windows base, `kage_<version>_windows-gui_<arch>.zip`. Packing a viewer onto it with `--format binary --base` produces a `.exe` that opens with no console window behind it, the Windows equivalent of the `.app` double-click experience. ### Changed - Cross-platform packing detects the base binary's target OS from its executable header (ELF, PE, or Mach-O) rather than its file name, so a Windows viewer always gets a `.exe` suffix and the run hint names the right platform even when the base is named without one. ## [0.1.2] - 2026-06-15 ### Security - Chrome now keeps its sandbox on by default. It was previously launched with `--no-sandbox` unconditionally, which removed Chrome's main line of defense when rendering pages from the open web (reported in #10). The sandbox is now dropped only where it genuinely cannot run: inside a container, or when running as root, and the choice is logged so it is never silent. ### Added - Container-aware Chrome flags. kage detects a container from the `IN_DOCKER` environment variable or a `/.dockerenv` marker and, only there, drops the sandbox and adds `--disable-dev-shm-usage` (the default 64 MB `/dev/shm` is too small for Chrome on large pages). Outside a container the faster shared memory is left in place. - Asset downloads retry on a transient failure (a 403/429, a 5xx, or a network blip) with a short backoff, recovering files that bot-protection rejects on the first request of a burst. Permanent failures (404, 401, ...) are not retried. ### Changed - Clearer crawl error reporting. Each failure is logged with a classified reason (`HTTP 403 Forbidden`, `timed out`, ...), the URL, and the page that referenced it, and the end-of-run summary lists what went wrong instead of printing only a count. ### Fixed - The container image now runs. Chrome aborted on launch with `chrome_crashpad_handler: --database is required`, so kage disables Chrome's crash reporter inside a container, and the `kage` user now has a writable home (the mounted `/out` volume) so the default output, resume state, and Chrome's profile no longer fail with a permission error (issue #7). ## [0.1.1] - 2026-06-14 ### Added - `kage pack <mirror-dir>` packs a cloned folder into one distributable file. `--format zim` (the default) writes an open ZIM archive, the same single-file format Kiwix uses; `--format binary` appends that archive to a copy of kage to produce a self-contained executable that serves the site offline when run. Flags cover the output path, metadata (`--title`, `--description`, `--language`, `--date`), a `--base` binary for cross-platform viewers, and `--no-compress`. - `kage open <file.zim>` serves a packed ZIM over a local HTTP server and opens your browser, the read side of `kage pack --format zim`. - An optional native-window viewer. Built with `-tags webview` (which needs cgo), `kage open` and a packed binary present the offline site in a real window backed by the operating system's WebView (WKWebView, WebView2, WebKitGTK) instead of a browser tab, so a packed kage feels like a standalone app. The default build stays pure Go (`CGO_ENABLED=0`) and falls back to the system browser, so the release pipeline is unchanged. - A pure-Go `zim` package that writes and reads the ZIM format: a fixed header, MIME and pointer lists, zstd-compressed (or stored) clusters, redirects, and a trailing MD5. It reads xz clusters so archives from other tooling open, and writes zstd or stored only. Packing is deterministic: the same mirror produces a byte-identical archive, with the UUID derived from the content rather than randomised. ## [0.1.0] - 2026-06-14 The first release. kage clones a live website into a self-contained folder you can browse offline, with every script stripped out. ### Added - `kage clone <url>` renders each page in headless Chrome, snapshots the final DOM, removes every `<script>`, `on*` handler, and `javascript:` URL, and downloads the CSS, images, fonts, and media, rewriting them to local paths. - `kage serve [dir]` runs a local static file server over a cloned folder so the mirror's links and assets resolve the way they would on a real host. - Deterministic URL-to-path mapping: pages become `<slug>/index.html` directories, assets live under the reserved `_kage/<host>/` tree, and query strings fold into a short hash suffix so versioned URLs never collide. - Three concurrency tiers run in parallel: page-render workers (`--workers`), asset-download workers (`--asset-workers`), and a Chrome page pool (`--browser-pages`). - A polite crawl by default: honours `robots.txt`, seeds from `sitemap.xml`, and scopes to the seed host. `--scope-prefix`, `--max-depth`, `--max-pages`, `--subdomains`, and `--exclude` shape the frontier. - Idempotent, resumable crawling. Each page is keyed by the file it writes, so the same URL reached over http and https, with or without a trailing slash, or as `/index.html` versus `/`, is fetched exactly once. A re-run resumes from `_kage/state.json`; `--refresh` re-renders a mirror in place to pull in changed content; `--force` wipes and starts clean; `--no-resume` runs stateless. - Defaults to a per-user data directory (`$HOME/data/kage`), overridable with `-o/--out`. - Cross-platform distribution: prebuilt archives, `.deb`/`.rpm`/`.apk` packages, a multi-arch container image on GHCR (Chromium bundled), checksums, SBOMs, and a cosign signature, all cut from one version tag by GoReleaser.
