### Full Native Rust
- **100% native Rust** -- Removed the entire Node.js/Playwright daemon. The Rust native daemon is now the only implementation. No Node.js runtime or Playwright dependency required. (#754)
- **99x smaller install** -- Install size reduced from 710 MB to 7 MB by eliminating the Node.js dependency tree.
- **18x less memory** -- Daemon memory usage reduced from 143 MB to 8 MB.
- **1.6x faster cold start** -- Cold start time reduced from 1002ms to 617ms.
- **Benchmarks** -- Added benchmark suite comparing native vs Node.js daemon performance.
- **Chromium installer hardened** -- Fixed zip path traversal vulnerability in Chrome for Testing installer.
