[1.4.1] - 2026-01-28

Added

  • Auto-Detect Local Bridge - When visiting periscope.run (without ?local=true), the app now automatically detects if the Local Bridge is running and seamlessly switches to local mode using pushState for a smooth transition.
  • Redirect Chain Tooltips - Hovering over any hop in the redirect chain now shows a detailed tooltip with the full URL and server IP address.
  • Smart Redirect Display - When consecutive redirect hops share the same hostname, the path is shown instead (e.g., // → /) to clarify what changed. Useful for identifying path normalization redirects.
  • Scan Log Auto-Select - Opening the Scan Log (Cmd+K) while viewing a scan now auto-selects and scrolls to that scan, enabling quick navigation with arrow keys.
  • Scan Log Pagination Persistence - The number of items loaded via "Load more" is now preserved when reopening the Scan Log.
  • Cloudflare Custom Hostname Detection - Added _cf-custom-hostname TXT record to DNS checks.

Fixed

  • JavaScript Redirect False Positives - Fixed detection matching HTML attributes like data-accordion-location="10" as JavaScript redirects. Now requires window.location or location.href patterns specifically.
  • ads.txt/app-ads.txt False Positives - Fixed detection accepting HTML 404 error pages as valid ads.txt files. Now validates that the response is not HTML.
  • HTTP→HTTPS Redirect Noise - Simple protocol upgrades (http→https of the same host) are now filtered from the redirect chain display to reduce noise.

Changed

  • Logo Click Behavior - Clicking the Periscope logo now uses pushState to smoothly reset the view and update the URL (removing the domain parameter) without a page reload.
  • Cache Version Matching - Patch versions are now ignored when validating cached scans. A v1.4 cache is considered valid for v1.4.1, preventing unnecessary reprocessing on patch releases. Only minor version changes (e.g., 1.4 → 1.5) trigger cache regeneration.
  • Pre-Connection UI - The domain input, scan button, and scan log icon are now hidden until the Local Bridge connection is established, providing a cleaner loading state.

Documentation

  • Versioning & Cache Upgrades - Added new section to README explaining semantic versioning policy and cache validity rules.
