Sessions previously sent `browserSettings.stealth: true`, which is not a recognized Browserbase session field and was silently ignored — so sessions ran without advanced stealth or proxies, and got blocked by Cloudflare and similar anti-bot challenges. This wires the correct fields: - `browserSettings.verified` (Verified Browser Mode / advanced stealth) - top-level `proxies` (Browserbase-managed residential proxies) Both default to ON and can be disabled via the BROWSERBASE_VERIFIED / BROWSERBASE_PROXIES env vars. Note these features require a Browserbase plan that includes them. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Problem
createSession()sendsbrowserSettings.stealth: true, butstealthis not a recognized field in the Browserbase session-create API, so it is silently ignored. As a result the app creates plain sessions — no advanced stealth, no proxies — despite the README claiming "advanced stealth enabled by default." These sessions get stopped by Cloudflare's "Performing security verification" interstitial and similar anti-bot challenges.Fix
