#1563 fix(browser): ensure new pages are created for managed browser concurrency

- Modify get_page() to always create new pages instead of reusing existing ones
- Add page lock to serialize new page creation in managed browser context
- Improve subprocess argument formatting and cleanup logging
- Delegate profile-related static methods to BrowserProfiler class
- Enhance startup checks for managed browser processes
- Add comprehensive test suite validating concurrency fix for arun_many with CDP browsers
- Fix proxy flag formatting and deduplicate browser launch args
- Refactor imports and code formatting for clarity and consistency

-    2. Retries on rate-limit errors with exponential delays (async).
-    3. Returns the API response or an error after all retries.
-
-    Args:
-        provider (str): The name of the API provider.
-        prompt_with_variables (str): The input prompt for the completion request.
-        api_token (str): The API token for authentication.
-        json_response (bool): Whether to request a JSON response. Defaults to False.
-        base_url (Optional[str]): The base URL for the API. Defaults to None.
-        **kwargs: Additional arguments for the API request.
-
-    Returns:
-        dict: The API response or an error message after all retries.

-### Creating a Profile Using the Crawl4AI CLI (Easiest)
-
-If you prefer a guided, interactive setup, use the built-in CLI to create and manage persistent browser profiles.
-
-1.⠀Launch the profile manager:
-   ```bash
-   crwl profiles
-   ```
-
-2.⠀Choose "Create new profile" and enter a profile name. A Chromium window opens so you can log in to sites and configure settings. When finished, return to the terminal and press `q` to save the profile.
-
-3.⠀Profiles are saved under `~/.crawl4ai/profiles/<profile_name>` (for example: `/home/<you>/.crawl4ai/profiles/test_profile_1`) along with a `storage_state.json` for cookies and session data.
-
-4.⠀Optionally, choose "List profiles" in the CLI to view available profiles and their paths.
-
-5.⠀Use the saved path with `BrowserConfig.user_data_dir`:
-   ```python
-   from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig
-
-   profile_path = "/home/<you>/.crawl4ai/profiles/test_profile_1"
-
-   browser_config = BrowserConfig(
-       headless=True,
-       use_managed_browser=True,
-       user_data_dir=profile_path,
-       browser_type="chromium",
-   )
-
-   async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
-       result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com/private")
-   ```
-
-The CLI also supports listing and deleting profiles, and even testing a crawl directly from the menu.

-# Proxy & Security
+# Proxy 
-
-This guide covers proxy configuration and security features in Crawl4AI, including SSL certificate analysis and proxy rotation strategies.
-
-## Understanding Proxy Configuration
-
-Crawl4AI recommends configuring proxies per request through `CrawlerRunConfig.proxy_config`. This gives you precise control, enables rotation strategies, and keeps examples simple enough to copy, paste, and run.
 
 ## Basic Proxy Setup
 
-Configure proxies that apply to each crawl operation:
+Simple proxy configuration with `BrowserConfig`:
 
 ```python
-import asyncio
+from crawl4ai.async_configs import BrowserConfig
-from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig, ProxyConfig
 
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config=ProxyConfig(server="http://proxy.example.com:8080"))
+# Using HTTP proxy
-# run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config={"server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080"})
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy_config={"server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080"})
-# run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config="http://proxy.example.com:8080")
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com")
 
-
+# Using SOCKS proxy
-async def main():
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy_config={"server": "socks5://proxy.example.com:1080"})
-    browser_config = BrowserConfig()
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
+    result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com")
-        result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com", config=run_config)
-        print(f"Success: {result.success} -> {result.url}")
-
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    asyncio.run(main())
 ```
 
-!!! note "Why request-level?"
+## Authenticated Proxy
-    `CrawlerRunConfig.proxy_config` keeps each request self-contained, so swapping proxies or rotation strategies is just a matter of building a new run configuration.
 
-## Supported Proxy Formats
+Use an authenticated proxy with `BrowserConfig`:
-
-The `ProxyConfig.from_string()` method supports multiple formats:
 
 ```python
-from crawl4ai import ProxyConfig
+from crawl4ai.async_configs import BrowserConfig
 
-# HTTP proxy with authentication
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy_config={
-proxy1 = ProxyConfig.from_string("http://user:pass@192.168.1.1:8080")
+    "server": "http://[host]:[port]",
-
+    "username": "[username]",
-# HTTPS proxy
+    "password": "[password]",
-proxy2 = ProxyConfig.from_string("https://proxy.example.com:8080")
+})
-
+async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
-# SOCKS5 proxy
+    result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com")
-proxy3 = ProxyConfig.from_string("socks5://proxy.example.com:1080")
-
-# Simple IP:port format
-proxy4 = ProxyConfig.from_string("192.168.1.1:8080")
-
-# IP:port:user:pass format
-proxy5 = ProxyConfig.from_string("192.168.1.1:8080:user:pass")
 ```
 
-## Authenticated Proxies
 
-For proxies requiring authentication:
+## Rotating Proxies 
+
+Example using a proxy rotation service dynamically:
 
 ```python
-import asyncio
-from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler,BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig, ProxyConfig
-
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    proxy_config=ProxyConfig(
-        server="http://proxy.example.com:8080",
-        username="your_username",
-        password="your_password",
-    )
-)
-# Or dictionary style:
-# run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config={
-#     "server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
-#     "username": "your_username",
-#     "password": "your_password",
-# })
-
-
-async def main():
-    browser_config = BrowserConfig()
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
-        result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com", config=run_config)
-        print(f"Success: {result.success} -> {result.url}")
-
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    asyncio.run(main())
-```
-
-## Environment Variable Configuration
-
-Load proxies from environment variables for easy configuration:
-
-```python
-import os
-from crawl4ai import ProxyConfig, CrawlerRunConfig
-
-# Set environment variable
-os.environ["PROXIES"] = "ip1:port1:user1:pass1,ip2:port2:user2:pass2,ip3:port3"
-
-# Load all proxies
-proxies = ProxyConfig.from_env()
-print(f"Loaded {len(proxies)} proxies")
-
-# Use first proxy
-if proxies:
-    run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config=proxies[0])
-```
-
-## Rotating Proxies
-
-Crawl4AI supports automatic proxy rotation to distribute requests across multiple proxy servers. Rotation is applied per request using a rotation strategy on `CrawlerRunConfig`.
-
-### Proxy Rotation (recommended)
-```python
-import asyncio

+)
+import asyncio
+from crawl4ai import ProxyConfig
 async def main():
-    # Load proxies from environment
+    # Load proxies and create rotation strategy
     proxies = ProxyConfig.from_env()
+    #eg: export PROXIES="ip1:port1:username1:password1,ip2:port2:username2:password2"
     if not proxies:
-        print("No proxies found! Set PROXIES environment variable.")
+        print("No proxies found in environment. Set PROXIES env variable!")
         return
 
-    # Create rotation strategy
     proxy_strategy = RoundRobinProxyStrategy(proxies)
 
-    # Configure per-request with proxy rotation
+    # Create configs
     browser_config = BrowserConfig(headless=True, verbose=False)
     run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
         cache_mode=CacheMode.BYPASS,
-        proxy_rotation_strategy=proxy_strategy,
+        proxy_rotation_strategy=proxy_strategy
     )
 
     async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
         urls = ["https://httpbin.org/ip"] * (len(proxies) * 2)  # Test each proxy twice

-## SSL Certificate Analysis
-
-Combine proxy usage with SSL certificate inspection for enhanced security analysis. SSL certificate fetching is configured per request via `CrawlerRunConfig`.
-
-### Per-Request SSL Certificate Analysis
-```python
-import asyncio
-from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig
-
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(
-    proxy_config={
-        "server": "http://proxy.example.com:8080",
-        "username": "user",
-        "password": "pass",
-    },
-    fetch_ssl_certificate=True,  # Enable SSL certificate analysis for this request
-)
-
-
-async def main():
-    browser_config = BrowserConfig()
-    async with AsyncWebCrawler(config=browser_config) as crawler:
-        result = await crawler.arun(url="https://example.com", config=run_config)
-
-        if result.success:
-            print(f"✅ Crawled via proxy: {result.url}")
-
-            # Analyze SSL certificate
-            if result.ssl_certificate:
-                cert = result.ssl_certificate
-                print("🔒 SSL Certificate Info:")
-                print(f"   Issuer: {cert.issuer}")
-                print(f"   Subject: {cert.subject}")
-                print(f"   Valid until: {cert.valid_until}")
-                print(f"   Fingerprint: {cert.fingerprint}")
-
-                # Export certificate
-                cert.to_json("certificate.json")
-                print("💾 Certificate exported to certificate.json")
-            else:
-                print("⚠️  No SSL certificate information available")
-
-
-if __name__ == "__main__":
-    asyncio.run(main())

-
-## Security Best Practices
-
-### 1. Proxy Rotation for Anonymity
-```python
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig, ProxyConfig
-from crawl4ai.proxy_strategy import RoundRobinProxyStrategy
-
-# Use multiple proxies to avoid IP blocking
-proxies = ProxyConfig.from_env("PROXIES")
-strategy = RoundRobinProxyStrategy(proxies)
-
-# Configure rotation per request (recommended)
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_rotation_strategy=strategy)
-
-# For a fixed proxy across all requests, just reuse the same run_config instance
-static_run_config = run_config
-```
-
-### 2. SSL Certificate Verification
-```python
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
-
-# Always verify SSL certificates when possible
-# Per-request (affects specific requests)
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(fetch_ssl_certificate=True)
-```
-
-### 3. Environment Variable Security
-```bash
-# Use environment variables for sensitive proxy credentials
-# Avoid hardcoding usernames/passwords in code
-export PROXIES="ip1:port1:user1:pass1,ip2:port2:user2:pass2"
-```
-
-### 4. SOCKS5 for Enhanced Security
-```python
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
-
-# Prefer SOCKS5 proxies for better protocol support
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config="socks5://proxy.example.com:1080")
-```
-
-## Migration from Deprecated `proxy` Parameter
-
-!!! warning "Deprecation Notice"
-    The legacy `proxy` argument on `BrowserConfig` is deprecated. Configure proxies through `CrawlerRunConfig.proxy_config` so each request fully describes its network settings.
-
-```python
-# Old (deprecated) approach
-# from crawl4ai import BrowserConfig
-# browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy="http://proxy.example.com:8080")
-
-# New (preferred) approach
-from crawl4ai import CrawlerRunConfig
-run_config = CrawlerRunConfig(proxy_config="http://proxy.example.com:8080")
-```
-
-### Safe Logging of Proxies
-```python
-from crawl4ai import ProxyConfig
-
-def safe_proxy_repr(proxy: ProxyConfig):
-    if getattr(proxy, "username", None):
-        return f"{proxy.server} (auth: ****)"
-    return proxy.server
-```
-
-## Troubleshooting
-
-### Common Issues
-
-???+ question "Proxy connection failed"
-    - Verify the proxy server is reachable from your network.
-    - Double-check authentication credentials.
-    - Ensure the protocol matches (`http`, `https`, or `socks5`).
-
-???+ question "SSL certificate errors"
-    - Some proxies break SSL inspection; switch proxies if you see repeated failures.
-    - Consider temporarily disabling certificate fetching to isolate the issue.
-
-???+ question "Environment variables not loading"
-    - Confirm `PROXIES` (or your custom env var) is set before running the script.
-    - Check formatting: `ip:port:user:pass,ip:port:user:pass`.
-
-???+ question "Proxy rotation not working"
-    - Ensure `ProxyConfig.from_env()` actually loaded entries (`len(proxies) > 0`).
-    - Attach `proxy_rotation_strategy` to `CrawlerRunConfig`.
-    - Validate the proxy definitions you pass into the strategy.
