v0.8.6 - Fix false browser_bound_replay verdict

on GitHub

Fixed

• nlm doctor auth-replay false browser_bound_replay verdict on merely expired cookies (#248) — The diagnostic previously compared stale on-disk cookies (httpx_saved, httpx_after_rotate) against an always-fresh live browser session (cdp_in_page). Since a live session's cookies are fresh by construction, that comparison could not distinguish ordinary cookie expiry from genuine device-bound replay — both produce the exact same pass/fail pattern. The diagnostic now re-extracts cookies from the same live browser session used for the CDP probe and replays them through plain httpx (new httpx_fresh lane) before drawing a conclusion. If fresh cookies succeed over httpx, the verdict is now the new stale_cookies (run nlm login, no transport needed); browser_bound_replay is only reported when even freshly re-extracted cookies fail outside the browser. Thanks to @leomesheti-crypto for the detailed controlled-comparison report that caught this.

Changed

• nlm doctor auth-replay now reports four lanes instead of three: saved-cookie httpx replay, httpx after forced cookie rotation, fresh-cookie httpx replay, and the in-page CDP fetch. --no-cdp skips the two browser-backed lanes together.
• Updated docs/AUTHENTICATION.md to describe the corrected four-lane diagnostic and clarify when the experimental NOTEBOOKLM_RPC_TRANSPORT=cdp transport is actually justified.

• README: moved the "Buy Me a Coffee" call-out from a low-visibility badge in the top badge row to a prominent, centered block near the top of the page.
