+## [1.1.0] - 2026-11-10
+
+### Added
+- **Anthropic Messages API & OpenAI SSE Streaming Engine (`pkg/cassette/sse.go`)**: Implemented RFC #1 with full recording, wire encoding/decoding (`bufio.Reader` with zero 64KB line limit), live proxy chunk flushing, configurable replay pacing (`instant`, `scaled`, `exact`), and `ReconstructStreamSummary` supporting `message_start`, `content_block_start`, `content_block_delta` (`text_delta`, `thinking_delta`, `signature_delta`, `input_json_delta`, `citations_delta`), `content_block_stop`, `message_delta`, `message_stop`, `ping`, `error`, and OpenAI `[DONE]` streams.
+- **Zero-Outbound-Network Replay Enforcement (`pkg/proxy/offline.go`)**: Added `proxy.NewOfflineHTTPClient(proxyURL)` blocking non-loopback TCP dials (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `localhost`), rejected `HTTP CONNECT` tunnels with `403 Forbidden`, and injected `NO_PROXY` plus fallback offline API keys in `runner.Run`.
+- **Go Testing SDK (`pkg/agenttest` & `pkg/proxy/testing.go`)**: Added `agenttest.NewTestServer(tb, cassettePath, opts...)` with `URL()`, zero-network `HTTPClient()`, `WithRecordMode`, `WithStrictExhaustive`, and automatic `tb.Cleanup` verification.
+- **MCP Stdio Upgrades & Recorder (`pkg/proxy/stdio_proxy.go`)**: Added 16MB frame support, dual NDJSON and `Content-Length` framing, JSON-RPC 2.0 notification handling, automatic `ping`/`initialize`/`tools/list` synthesis when unrecorded, and `StdioRecorder` (`agentfixture record -mcp`).
+- **CLI Subcommands & Flags (`cmd/agentfixture`)**: Added `agentfixture inspect [-json]`, `agentfixture redact [-out]`, `agentfixture diff -exit-code` with semantic SSE stream diffing, `-timing` / `-delay-scale` / `-max-delay` flags on `replay`, `-mcp` mode on `record`/`replay`, and `windows/arm64` release artifacts.
+
+### Fixed
+- Fixed `agentfixture record -- <cmd>` spawning an isolated replay proxy instead of routing subprocess calls through the active `ModeRecord` server.
+- Fixed upstream gzip response corruption by stripping `Accept-Encoding` and `Content-Length` on outbound proxy requests and stripping `Content-Encoding` / `Content-Length` from stored headers.
+- Replaced fixed 30s `http.Client.Timeout` on upstream recording requests with `Transport{ResponseHeaderTimeout: 30s}` so multi-minute LLM streams do not abort mid-response.
+- Fixed upstream URL base path joining so prefixes (e.g. `/api/v1`) are preserved rather than overwritten.
+- Released `Server` mutex before simulated latency sleeps, HTTP response writes, and SSE chunk streaming; cloned cassettes during `ToYAML`/`ToJSON` to prevent concurrent mutation races.
+- Fixed multi-turn stateful HTTP and MCP stdio replay to prefer unconsumed cassette interactions in sequence order before falling back to idempotent retries.
+- Fixed 64-bit integer precision truncation in `StrictMatcher` using `json.Decoder.UseNumber()`, canonicalized JSON `RawBody` payloads, and normalized full URLs vs relative paths with sorted query parameters.
+- Fixed `FuzzyMatcher` UTF-8 rune length calculation, recursive slice filtering in `filterDynamicKeys`, structured JSON HTTP matching, and preserved bare `"id"` arguments.
+- Fixed `ComputeMetrics()` to sum `InputTokens + OutputTokens` (+ prompt cache tokens) when `TotalTokens == 0` (Anthropic usage format) with accurate input/output pricing.
+- Preserved `EventError` frames in `ImportTracePortSession` instead of dropping them.
+- Fixed `runner.Run` timeout cancellation via `exec.CommandContext`, Windows case-insensitive environment variable deduplication, and populated `UnmatchedExpected` and `DriftDetails`.
+- Fixed `-ldflags` version injection (`var Version`) and stripped duplicate leading `v` prefixes.
+
+### Performance
+- Reduced 100KB prompt `FuzzyMatcher` latency from ~15s (`O(N*M)` rune Levenshtein) to `<1ms` via zero-copy prefix/suffix stripping, a 4,096-rune exact DP cap, and zero-allocation 4-gram Sørensen-Dice hashing.
+
+### Security
+- Expanded redaction and secret detection across Google (`AIza*`), GitHub (`ghp_*`, `gho_*`, `ghu_*`, `ghs_*`, `ghr_*`, `github_pat_*`), AWS (`AKIA*`, `ASIA*`), Slack (`xox*-*`), HuggingFace (`hf_*`), PEM private keys, URL `user:pass@` credentials, `Cookie`/`Set-Cookie`, `X-Api-Key`, `x-goog-api-key`, endpoints, tags, interaction metadata, and SSE event frames.
+- Redacted secrets prior to `StrictHash` computation to eliminate secret hash oracles, and masked matched credential previews in `CheckForUnredactedSecrets`.

-> **Zero-dollar deterministic CI/CD regression testing cassette runner for AI agents.**
-
-`AgentFixture` eliminates the exorbitant API costs and flaky non-determinism of testing autonomous AI coding agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Aider, OpenHands) in Continuous Integration. By converting [TracePort](https://github.com/aloneangel45/traceport) black-box flight recordings into deterministic testing cassettes, AgentFixture allows entire agent test suites to run **instantly in CI with $0 in LLM API bills**.

 ## Why AgentFixture?
 
-1. **Eliminate the "Broken Agent Tax"**: Running a 25-test agent suite against Claude 3.7 Sonnet or GPT-4o costs **$5 to $50 per CI run**. For an active team with 15 PR runs daily, that's **$2,250+/month** in burned tokens. With AgentFixture, CI costs are **$0.00**.
-2. **Sub-Second Test Runtimes**: Agent test runs that usually take 5–15 minutes waiting on LLM generation run in **under 500 milliseconds** during cassette replay.
-3. **Flakiness-Proof Determinism**: Temperature drift, LLM provider rate limits (`429 Too Many Requests`), and transient network dropouts no longer cause false-positive build failures.
-4. **TracePort Native Synergy**: TracePort records actual developer terminal agent sessions; AgentFixture ingests those flight recordings into permanent regression fixtures with one command.
-5. **Zero Secret Leaks**: Built-in automated secret redactor scrubs Anthropic keys (`sk-ant-*`), OpenAI keys (`sk-*`), GitHub tokens (`ghp_*`, `github_pat_*`), Bearer tokens, and sensitive headers before cassettes ever touch git.
+1. **Zero LLM Spend in CI**: Running a 25-test coding agent suite against Claude Sonnet or GPT-4o costs $5 to $50 per CI run ($2,250+/month across active pull requests). Replaying cassettes costs **$0.00**.
+2. **Full Anthropic & OpenAI SSE Streaming Fidelity**: Records and replays raw Server-Sent Event streams (`message_start`, `thinking_delta`, `signature_delta`, `text_delta`, `input_json_delta`, `citations_delta`, `message_delta`, `message_stop`, and OpenAI `data: [DONE]`) with `instant` (`0ms`), `scaled`, or `exact` chunk timing.
+3. **Strict Zero-Outbound-Network Enforcement**: Rejects `HTTP CONNECT` tunnels (`403 Forbidden`), locks `proxy.NewOfflineHTTPClient` strictly to loopback (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `localhost`), and injects offline SDK keys so tests cannot leak external traffic.
+4. **Stateful Multi-Turn & MCP Framing**: Replays identical sequential requests in turn order before idempotent fallback, and supports both NDJSON and `Content-Length` MCP stdio framing up to 16 MB.
+5. **Pre-Hash Secret Redaction**: Scrubs Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, GitHub, AWS, Slack, HuggingFace, Bearer, Cookie, URL basic-auth, and PEM credentials *before* computing SHA-256 `StrictHash` digests—eliminating secret hash oracles while allowing dummy CI keys to match seamlessly.

-## Quick Start & CLI Usage
+## CLI Quick Start
+
+### 1. Record Live Anthropic / OpenAI SSE Streaming Sessions
 
-### 1. Ingest a TracePort Flight Recording
-Convert any session recorded with `traceport record` into an AgentFixture cassette:
 ```bash
-agentfixture import -traceport ~/.traceport/sessions/trace_1793907746.json -out fixtures/auth_flow.yaml
+agentfixture record -cassette fixtures/claude_stream.yaml -upstream https://api.anthropic.com -- python run_agent.py
 ```
 
-### 2. Verify Cassette Integrity & Redaction
-Ensure the cassette format conforms to `agentfixture/v1` and contains no leaked credentials:
+Record an MCP stdio tool server directly:
+
 ```bash
-agentfixture verify fixtures/auth_flow.yaml
+agentfixture record -mcp -cassette fixtures/mcp_fs.yaml -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem .
 ```
 
-Output:
-```text

+### 2. Replay Deterministically in CI (`0ms` Instant SSE Mode)
 
-### 3. Replay in CI/CD (Zero-Dollar Test Runner)
-Run your agent's test suite inside GitHub Actions without configuring LLM API keys:

+## Security Controls in AgentFixture
+
+- **Pre-Hash Secret Redaction**: Credentials, Bearer tokens, PEM private keys, cookies, URL basic auth, and provider API keys (`sk-ant-*`, `sk-proj-*`, `sk-*`, `AIza*`, `ghp_*`, `github_pat_*`, `AKIA*`, `ASIA*`, `xox*-*`, `hf_*`) are scrubbed before computing `StrictHash` SHA-256 digests so cassettes never act as secret hash oracles.
+- **Zero Outbound Network Replay**: Replay proxies block `HTTP CONNECT` tunnels (`403 Forbidden`) and `proxy.NewOfflineHTTPClient` rejects any TCP/UDP dial outside loopback (`127.0.0.1`, `::1`, `localhost`).
+- **Masked Secret Diagnostics**: `agentfixture verify` masks matched credential suffixes so CI logs never print leaked secret bytes.
