+2. License Grants and Conditions
+--------------------------------
+
+2.1. Grants
+
+Each Contributor hereby grants You a world-wide, royalty-free,
+non-exclusive license:
+
+(a) under intellectual property rights (other than patent or trademark)
+    Licensable by such Contributor to use, reproduce, make available,
+    modify, display, perform, distribute, and otherwise exploit its
+    Contributions, either on an unmodified basis, with Modifications, or
+    as part of a Larger Work; and
+
+(b) under Patent Claims of such Contributor to make, use, sell, offer
+    for sale, have made, import, and otherwise transfer either its
+    Contributions or its Contributor Version.
+
+2.2. Effective Date
+
+The licenses granted in Section 2.1 with respect to any Contribution
+become effective for each Contribution on the date the Contributor first
+distributes such Contribution.
+
+2.3. Limitations on Grant Scope
+
+The licenses granted in this Section 2 are the only rights granted under
+this License. No additional rights or licenses will be implied from the
+distribution or licensing of Covered Software under this License.
+Notwithstanding Section 2.1(b) above, no patent license is granted by a
+Contributor:
+
+(a) for any code that a Contributor has removed from Covered Software;
+    or
+
+(b) for infringements caused by: (i) Your and any other third party's
+    modifications of Covered Software, or (ii) the combination of its
+    Contributions with other software (except as part of its Contributor
+    Version); or
+
+(c) under Patent Claims infringed by Covered Software in the absence of
+    its Contributions.
+
+This License does not grant any rights in the trademarks, service marks,
+or logos of any Contributor (except as may be necessary to comply with
+the notice requirements in Section 3.4).
+
+2.4. Subsequent Licenses
+
+No Contributor makes additional grants as a result of Your choice to
+distribute the Covered Software under a subsequent version of this
+License (see Section 10.2) or under the terms of a Secondary License (if
+permitted under the terms of Section 3.3).
+
+2.5. Representation
+
+Each Contributor represents that the Contributor believes its
+Contributions are its original creation(s) or it has sufficient rights
+to grant the rights to its Contributions conveyed by this License.
+
+2.6. Fair Use
+
+This License is not intended to limit any rights You have under
+applicable copyright doctrines of fair use, fair dealing, or other
+equivalents.
+
+2.7. Conditions
+
+Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3, and 3.4 are conditions of the licenses granted
+in Section 2.1.
+
+3. Responsibilities
+-------------------
+
+3.1. Distribution of Source Form
+
+All distribution of Covered Software in Source Code Form, including any
+Modifications that You create or to which You contribute, must be under
+the terms of this License. You must inform recipients that the Source
+Code Form of the Covered Software is governed by the terms of this
+License, and how they can obtain a copy of this License. You may not
+attempt to alter or restrict the recipients' rights in the Source Code
+Form.
+
+3.2. Distribution of Executable Form
+
+If You distribute Covered Software in Executable Form then:
+
+(a) such Covered Software must also be made available in Source Code
+    Form, as described in Section 3.1, and You must inform recipients of
+    the Executable Form how they can obtain a copy of such Source Code
+    Form by reasonable means in a timely manner, at a charge no more
+    than the cost of distribution to the recipient; and
+
+(b) You may distribute such Executable Form under the terms of this
+    License, or sublicense it under different terms, provided that the
+    license for the Executable Form does not attempt to limit or alter
+    the recipients' rights in the Source Code Form under this License.
+
+3.3. Distribution of a Larger Work
+
+You may create and distribute a Larger Work under terms of Your choice,
+provided that You also comply with the requirements of this License for
+the Covered Software. If the Larger Work is a combination of Covered
+Software with a work governed by one or more Secondary Licenses, and the
+Covered Software is not Incompatible With Secondary Licenses, this
+License permits You to additionally distribute such Covered Software
+under the terms of such Secondary License(s), so that the recipient of
+the Larger Work may, at their option, further distribute the Covered
+Software under the terms of either this License or such Secondary
+License(s).
+
+3.4. Notices
+
+You may not remove or alter the substance of any license notices
+(including copyright notices, patent notices, disclaimers of warranty,
+or limitations of liability) contained within the Source Code Form of
+the Covered Software, except that You may alter any license notices to
+the extent required to remedy known factual inaccuracies.
+
+3.5. Application of Additional Terms
+
+You may choose to offer, and to charge a fee for, warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability obligations to one or more recipients of Covered
+Software. However, You may do so only on Your own behalf, and not on
+behalf of any Contributor. You must make it absolutely clear that any
+such warranty, support, indemnity, or liability obligation is offered by
+You alone, and You hereby agree to indemnify every Contributor for any
+liability incurred by such Contributor as a result of warranty, support,
+indemnity or liability terms You offer. You may include additional
+disclaimers of warranty and limitations of liability specific to any
+jurisdiction.
+
+4. Inability to Comply Due to Statute or Regulation
+---------------------------------------------------
+
+If it is impossible for You to comply with any of the terms of this
+License with respect to some or all of the Covered Software due to
+statute, judicial order, or regulation then You must: (a) comply with
+the terms of this License to the maximum extent possible; and (b)
+describe the limitations and the code they affect. Such description must
+be placed in a text file included with all distributions of the Covered
+Software under this License. Except to the extent prohibited by statute
+or regulation, such description must be sufficiently detailed for a
+recipient of ordinary skill to be able to understand it.
+
+5. Termination
+--------------
+
+5.1. The rights granted under this License will terminate automatically
+if You fail to comply with any of its terms. However, if You become
+compliant, then the rights granted under this License from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated (a) provisionally, unless and until such
+Contributor explicitly and finally terminates Your grants, and (b) on an
+ongoing basis, if such Contributor fails to notify You of the
+non-compliance by some reasonable means prior to 60 days after You have
+come back into compliance. Moreover, Your grants from a particular
+Contributor are reinstated on an ongoing basis if such Contributor
+notifies You of the non-compliance by some reasonable means, this is the
+first time You have received notice of non-compliance with this License
+from such Contributor, and You become compliant prior to 30 days after
+Your receipt of the notice.
+
+5.2. If You initiate litigation against any entity by asserting a patent
+infringement claim (excluding declaratory judgment actions,
+counter-claims, and cross-claims) alleging that a Contributor Version
+directly or indirectly infringes any patent, then the rights granted to
+You by any and all Contributors for the Covered Software under Section
+2.1 of this License shall terminate.
+
+5.3. In the event of termination under Sections 5.1 or 5.2 above, all
+end user license agreements (excluding distributors and resellers) which
+have been validly granted by You or Your distributors under this License
+prior to termination shall survive termination.

+# Rotunda Python
+
+Rotunda gives Python agents a Playwright-compatible browser that is built for real web workflows. It launches the Rotunda Firefox build, creates host-compatible browser fingerprints, and gives each context its own identity without forcing you to manage the browser process by hand.
+
+Use it when you want Playwright ergonomics with a browser that is designed for agent-driven browsing instead of vanilla CDP automation.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+pip install -U rotunda
+rotunda fetch
+```
+
+Install the GeoIP extra if you use proxies and want Rotunda to align geolocation, timezone, locale, and WebRTC IP with the proxy exit IP:
+
+```bash
+pip install -U "rotunda[geoip]"
+rotunda fetch
+```
+
+If the `rotunda` console command is not on your path, use `python -m rotunda fetch`.
+
+## Quick Start
+
+```python
+from rotunda import NewContext, Rotunda
+
+with Rotunda(headless=False) as browser:
+    context = NewContext(browser)
+    page = context.new_page()
+
+    page.goto("https://example.com")
+    print(page.title())
+```
+
+`Rotunda(...)` launches the browser. `NewContext(...)` creates a Playwright browser context with a fresh Rotunda fingerprint applied before page scripts run.
+
+## Async Usage
+
+```python
+import asyncio
+
+from rotunda import AsyncNewContext, AsyncRotunda
+
+
+async def main():
+    async with AsyncRotunda(headless=False) as browser:
+        context = await AsyncNewContext(browser)
+        page = await context.new_page()
+
+        await page.goto("https://example.com")
+        print(await page.title())
+
+
+asyncio.run(main())
+```
+
+## Playwright-Style Launching
+
+If you already use Playwright directly, keep your existing structure and swap in Rotunda's launch helper:
+
+```python
+from playwright.sync_api import sync_playwright
+from rotunda import NewBrowser, NewContext
+
+with sync_playwright() as playwright:
+    browser = NewBrowser(playwright, headless=False)
+    context = NewContext(browser)
+    page = context.new_page()
+
+    page.goto("https://example.com")
+    browser.close()
+```
+
+## Proxies And GeoIP
+
+Pass proxies in the same shape Playwright expects. With `rotunda[geoip]`, `geoip=True` derives location data from the current public IP or proxy exit IP.
+
+```python
+from rotunda import NewContext, Rotunda
+
+proxy = {
+    "server": "http://proxy.example:8080",
+    "username": "user",
+    "password": "pass",
+}
+
+with Rotunda(headless=False, proxy=proxy, geoip=True) as browser:
+    context = NewContext(browser, proxy=proxy)
+    page = context.new_page()
+
+    page.goto("https://example.com")
+```
+
+You can also set context options yourself:
+
+```python
+context = NewContext(
+    browser,
+    locale="en-US",
+    timezone_id="America/New_York",
+    geolocation={"latitude": 40.7128, "longitude": -74.0060},
+)
+```
+
+## Headless And Linux Displays
+
+Rotunda defaults to visible browser windows because that best matches agent workflows. On Linux, `headless="virtual"` starts Rotunda in an Xvfb-backed virtual display:
+
+```python
+from rotunda import NewContext, Rotunda
+
+with Rotunda(headless="virtual") as browser:
+    context = NewContext(browser)
+    page = context.new_page()
+    page.goto("https://example.com")
+```
+
+Install `xvfb` on the host before using virtual display mode.
+
+## Reusing A Fingerprint
+
+Most code should let `NewContext()` generate a fresh identity. If you need the launch fingerprint and context fingerprint to match exactly, generate one fingerprint and pass it to both:
+
+```python
+from rotunda import NewContext, Rotunda
+from rotunda.fingerprints import generate_fingerprint
+
+fingerprint = generate_fingerprint()
+
+with Rotunda(headless=False, fingerprint=fingerprint) as browser:
+    context = NewContext(browser, fingerprint=fingerprint)
+    page = context.new_page()
+    page.goto("https://example.com")
+```
+
+## Debugging A Site
+
+For a quick interactive check, open a Playwright inspector session:
+
+```bash
+rotunda test https://example.com
+```
+
+For fingerprint reports, enable Rotunda's debug dump around your minimal repro:
+
+```bash
+export ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP_DIR=/tmp/rotunda-fingerprint-debug
+export ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP=manifest,network,console,vm,returns
+export ROTUNDA_VM_ACCESS_SAMPLE_RATE=10
+
+python your_repro_script.py
+zip -r rotunda-fingerprint-debug.zip "$ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP_DIR"
+```
+
+Review the dump before sharing it. It can include request and response bodies.
+
+## Useful CLI Commands
+
+```bash
+rotunda fetch              # install the Rotunda browser used by the Python package
+rotunda version            # show package, browser, and GeoIP status
+rotunda path               # print the local Rotunda data directory
+rotunda test <url>         # open an inspector session for a URL
+rotunda remove             # remove local Rotunda browser and data files
+```
+
+## Local Development
+
+When developing Rotunda itself, point the Python package at a local browser build:
+
+```bash
+source upstream.sh
+export ROTUNDA_EXECUTABLE_PATH="$PWD/rotunda-$version-$release/obj-aarch64-apple-darwin/dist/Rotunda.app/Contents/MacOS/rotunda"
+uv run --group dev python -m rotunda test --debug
+```
+
+On Intel macOS, replace `obj-aarch64-apple-darwin` with `obj-x86_64-apple-darwin`.

+# Rotunda
+
+Giving your Agents the power to browse the web is like giving them superpowers. You can automate almost anything. Rotunda is a browser built for Agents from the ground up. Sick of seeing more captchas and roadblocks than when you open Chrome and do it yourself? Try Rotunda.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+```python
+TODO
+```
+
+## On stealth browsing
+
+Web automation is incredible. Unfortunately for us, so many people have abused the automation powers of browsers in the past (ticket scalpers, shoe resellers) that sites have poured billions into detecting anything that's not a human. If you run Chrome over CDP with Playwright you'll know what I'm talking about. You get recaptchas, refusals to login, or subtle changes in behavior.
+
+"Stealth" plugins advertise that they're able to evade these detections. But all stealth plugins are flawed. They often rely on overriding Javascript properties to return fake values that simulate another browser. Fingerprinters will check if these function implementations are native or non-native. Non-native never happens in the wild so you're flagged as a bot. Other plugins will fork Chromium and patch code that do the same things on the backend, so you'll be unable to detect them by sniffing Javascript state. Fingerprinters then use browser accessories like the canvas or audio drivers to detect anomalies with known devices. And so you're flagged as a bot. And on and on.
+
+This cat and mouse game has been around since the beginning of the web. As fingerprinting has switched from adhoc to statistical, the burden has shifted dramatically to the stealth implementers. Our view at Rotunda is it's _impossible to compellingly lie about your browser fingerprint_. In the law of large numbers, and the surface area of APIs that browsers have to support, there's some way to detect that you're anomalous. The sites only need one thing wrong to prove that you're faking your whole identity. You need to patch every surface area, simulate the subtleties of every GPU driver, and honestly it's just not a game worth playing.

+Instead Rotunda focuses on providing a browser that looks fully human, without lying about its underlying identity. We _want_ to look like it's actually running on your laptop - and instead focus on making sure no automation signatures can be detected. This includes making sure that Playwright can't be detected as the driver controlling your screen, and that any mouse movements tween as if, and that keyboard clicks have some occasional errors. Instead of lying about your fingerprint it's better to fib: tell them what GPU and audio drivers you're running on, but lie about some specifics like accessible fonts or extensions or screen size. It's not out of the ordinary for 10 M1 chips to be browsing their site at the same time.
+
+This results in a browser that's not suitable for crawling. For public sites you should be automating that in the cloud anyway via [Browserbase](https://browserbase.com/), [Kernel](https://kernel.sh/), or [ScrapingBee](https://www.scrapingbee.com/). But it's _very_ suitable when you're delegating tasks to your Agents. It's like having a fleet of interns that are doing useful work on your home network.

+## Fingerprint Blocked?
+
+You're a lot less likely to get flagged as a bot with our host-passthrough approach. But that doesn't mean it's impossible. First we recommend you open the same site in Chrome/Firefox and see if you still start seeing flags. If you do it might be because of your IP reputation.
+
+If other browsers work fine and you suspect it's at the Rotunda level, run the same site with our debugging handlers. This echos the calls that the site makes into the Javascript VM, the return values from those calls, console output, and outgoing page requests sent to their servers. 99.99% of the time these payloads reveal that the site picked up on something anomalous. The only thing they don't really cover is the TCP handshake, but we're using the authentic Firefox protocol for that anyway.
+
+```sh
+export ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP_DIR=/tmp/rotunda-fingerprint-debug
+export ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP=manifest,network,console,vm,returns
+export ROTUNDA_VM_ACCESS_SAMPLE_RATE=10
+
+python your_repro_script.py
+zip -r rotunda-fingerprint-debug.zip "$ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP_DIR"
+```
+
+Attach `rotunda-fingerprint-debug.zip` to a GitHub Issue with the site URL, what you expected to happen, and what the site reported instead. The dump includes request/response bodies, so review it before sharing and do not set `ROTUNDA_DEBUG_DUMP_RAW=1` unless a maintainer asks for it.

+## Credits
+
+This repository builds on daijro's original Firefox patching work, which laid the foundation - via much trial and error - for the browser patching techniques used here. They made the case for using Firefox because Juggler is isolated from the browser context (unlike CDP).
+
+Their main focus, however, is on stealth whereas ours is on automation. We want to give your Agents access to a browser that works almost identically to your daily driver.

+## FAQ
+
+Can't I just control Chrome with computer vision?
+
+You certainly can try! Computer vision isn't a perfect answer here because it's so slow, fills up your context window, and doesn't allow your agent to see any content that's not in the viewport. It's much more convenient to grab the current DOM and parse it into an LLM friendly representation of the page. But grabbing this representation opens you up to the same question of Playwright/CDP control that we were trying to avoid.
+
+Launching in most cloud VMs to use computer vision also risks leaking state about the underlying host. Most use the same stealth plugins that are pretty easy to detect, which means you're going to eventually get flagged if you use them naturally.
+
+Plus computer vision sometimes makes it hard to click around some websites because direct click events are hard to translate cleanly (see reports of Claude being unable to select dropdowns from form lists).
