Report #993

[tooling] Playwright/Puppeteer headless browser detected because fingerprint signals do not match a real user

Install Apify \`fingerprint-suite\` and use \`newInjectedContext\(browser, \{ fingerprintOptions: \{ devices: \['desktop'\], operatingSystems: \['windows'\] \} \}\)\`. It generates correlated HTTP headers and JS API values and injects them before any page loads.

Journey Context:
Stock headless Chromium exposes HeadlessChrome UA, missing plugins, SwiftShader WebGL, uniform screen size, and \`navigator.webdriver\`. Manual stealth plugins patch only a few leaks and often create inconsistent combinations \(e.g., Safari on Windows\). fingerprint-suite uses a Bayesian network trained on real browser telemetry to produce self-consistent fingerprints across headers, navigator, screen, WebGL, canvas, fonts, audio, and Intl APIs. Rotate one fingerprint per browser context/session, not per request; a perfect fingerprint with a mismatched geo/IP still triggers blocks. It fixes static fingerprinting but does not solve interactive challenges or behavioral biometrics.
