Merge branch 'develop' into release/v0.7.5

- Split release.yml into PyPI/GitHub release and Docker workflows
- Add GitHub Actions cache for Docker builds (10-15x faster rebuilds)
- Implement dual-trigger for docker-release.yml (auto + manual)
- Add comprehensive workflow documentation in .github/workflows/docs/
- Backup original workflow as release.yml.backup

+## Component Details
+
+### 1. Release Pipeline (release.yml)
+
+#### Purpose
+Fast publication of Python package and GitHub release.
+
+#### Input
+- **Trigger**: Git tag matching `v*` (excluding `test-v*`)
+- **Example**: `v1.2.3`
+
+#### Processing Stages
+
+##### Stage 1: Version Extraction
+```bash
+Input:  refs/tags/v1.2.3
+Output: VERSION=1.2.3
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+TAG_VERSION=${GITHUB_REF#refs/tags/v}  # Remove 'refs/tags/v' prefix
+echo "VERSION=$TAG_VERSION" >> $GITHUB_OUTPUT
+```
+
+##### Stage 2: Version Validation
+```bash
+Input:  TAG_VERSION=1.2.3
+Check:  crawl4ai/__version__.py contains __version__ = "1.2.3"
+Output: Pass/Fail
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+PACKAGE_VERSION=$(python -c "from crawl4ai.__version__ import __version__; print(__version__)")
+if [ "$TAG_VERSION" != "$PACKAGE_VERSION" ]; then
+  exit 1
+fi
+```
+
+##### Stage 3: Package Build
+```bash
+Input:  Source code + pyproject.toml
+Output: dist/crawl4ai-1.2.3.tar.gz
+        dist/crawl4ai-1.2.3-py3-none-any.whl
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+python -m build
+# Uses build backend defined in pyproject.toml
+```
+
+##### Stage 4: PyPI Upload
+```bash
+Input:  dist/*.{tar.gz,whl}
+Auth:   PYPI_TOKEN
+Output: Package published to PyPI
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+twine upload dist/*
+# Environment:
+#   TWINE_USERNAME: __token__
+#   TWINE_PASSWORD: ${{ secrets.PYPI_TOKEN }}
+```
+
+##### Stage 5: GitHub Release Creation
+```bash
+Input:  Tag: v1.2.3
+        Body: Markdown content
+Output: Published GitHub release
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```yaml
+uses: softprops/action-gh-release@v2
+with:
+  tag_name: v1.2.3
+  name: Release v1.2.3
+  body: |
+    Installation instructions and changelog
+  draft: false
+  prerelease: false
+```
+
+#### Output
+- **PyPI Package**: https://pypi.org/project/crawl4ai/1.2.3/
+- **GitHub Release**: Published release on repository
+- **Event**: `release.published` (triggers Docker workflow)
+
+#### Timeline
+```
+0:00 - Tag pushed
+0:01 - Checkout + Python setup
+0:02 - Version validation
+0:03 - Package build
+0:04 - PyPI upload starts
+0:06 - PyPI upload complete
+0:07 - GitHub release created
+0:08 - Workflow complete
+```
+
+---
+
+### 2. Docker Release Pipeline (docker-release.yml)
+
+#### Purpose
+Build and publish multi-architecture Docker images.
+
+#### Inputs
+
+##### Input 1: Release Event (Automatic)
+```yaml
+Event: release.published
+Data:  github.event.release.tag_name = "v1.2.3"
+```
+
+##### Input 2: Docker Rebuild Tag (Manual)
+```yaml
+Tag: docker-rebuild-v1.2.3
+```
+
+#### Processing Stages
+
+##### Stage 1: Version Detection
+```bash
+# From release event:
+VERSION = github.event.release.tag_name.strip("v")
+# Result: "1.2.3"
+
+# From rebuild tag:
+VERSION = GITHUB_REF.replace("refs/tags/docker-rebuild-v", "")
+# Result: "1.2.3"
+```
+
+##### Stage 2: Semantic Version Parsing
+```bash
+Input:  VERSION=1.2.3
+Output: MAJOR=1
+        MINOR=1.2
+        PATCH=3 (implicit)
+```
+
+**Implementation**:
+```bash
+MAJOR=$(echo $VERSION | cut -d. -f1)    # Extract first component
+MINOR=$(echo $VERSION | cut -d. -f1-2)  # Extract first two components
+```
+
+##### Stage 3: Multi-Architecture Setup
+```yaml
+Setup:
+  - Docker Buildx (multi-platform builder)
+  - QEMU (ARM emulation on x86)
+
+Platforms:
+  - linux/amd64 (x86_64)
+  - linux/arm64 (aarch64)
+```
+
+**Architecture**:
+```
+GitHub Runner (linux/amd64)
+  ├─ Buildx Builder
+  │   ├─ Native: Build linux/amd64 image
+  │   └─ QEMU: Emulate ARM to build linux/arm64 image
+  └─ Generate manifest list (points to both images)
+```
+
+##### Stage 4: Docker Hub Authentication
+```bash
+Input:  DOCKER_USERNAME
+        DOCKER_TOKEN
+Output: Authenticated Docker client
+```
+
+##### Stage 5: Build with Cache
+```yaml
+Cache Configuration:
+  cache-from: type=gha           # Read from GitHub Actions cache
+  cache-to: type=gha,mode=max    # Write all layers
+
+Cache Key Components:
+  - Workflow file path
+  - Branch name
+  - Architecture (amd64/arm64)
+```
+
+**Cache Hierarchy**:
+```
+Cache Entry: main/docker-release.yml/linux-amd64
+  ├─ Layer: sha256:abc123... (FROM python:3.12)
+  ├─ Layer: sha256:def456... (RUN apt-get update)
+  ├─ Layer: sha256:ghi789... (COPY requirements.txt)
+  ├─ Layer: sha256:jkl012... (RUN pip install)
+  └─ Layer: sha256:mno345... (COPY . /app)
+
+Cache Hit/Miss Logic:
+  - If layer input unchanged → cache hit → skip build
+  - If layer input changed → cache miss → rebuild + all subsequent layers
+```
+
+##### Stage 6: Tag Generation
+```bash
+Input:  VERSION=1.2.3, MAJOR=1, MINOR=1.2
+
+Output Tags:
+  - unclecode/crawl4ai:1.2.3    (exact version)
+  - unclecode/crawl4ai:1.2      (minor version)
+  - unclecode/crawl4ai:1        (major version)
+  - unclecode/crawl4ai:latest   (latest stable)
+```
+
+**Tag Strategy**:
+- All tags point to same image SHA
+- Users can pin to desired stability level
+- Pushing new version updates `1`, `1.2`, and `latest` automatically
+
+##### Stage 7: Push to Registry
+```bash
+For each tag:
+  For each platform (amd64, arm64):
+    Push image to Docker Hub
+
+Create manifest list:
+  Manifest: unclecode/crawl4ai:1.2.3
+    ├─ linux/amd64: sha256:abc...
+    └─ linux/arm64: sha256:def...
+
+Docker CLI automatically selects correct platform on pull
+```
+
+#### Output
+- **Docker Images**: 4 tags × 2 platforms = 8 image variants + 4 manifests
+- **Docker Hub**: https://hub.docker.com/r/unclecode/crawl4ai/tags
+
+#### Timeline
+
+**Cold Cache (First Build)**:
+```
+0:00 - Release event received
+0:01 - Checkout + Buildx setup
+0:02 - Docker Hub auth
+0:03 - Start build (amd64)
+0:08 - Complete amd64 build
+0:09 - Start build (arm64)
+0:14 - Complete arm64 build
+0:15 - Generate manifests
+0:16 - Push all tags
+0:17 - Workflow complete

+## Security Architecture
+
+### Threat Model
+
+#### Threats Mitigated
+
+1. **Secret Exposure**
+   - Mitigation: GitHub Actions secret masking
+   - Evidence: Secrets never appear in logs
+
+2. **Unauthorized Package Upload**
+   - Mitigation: Scoped PyPI tokens
+   - Evidence: Token limited to `crawl4ai` project
+
+3. **Man-in-the-Middle**
+   - Mitigation: HTTPS for all API calls
+   - Evidence: PyPI, Docker Hub, GitHub all use TLS
+
+4. **Supply Chain Tampering**
+   - Mitigation: Immutable artifacts, content checksums
+   - Evidence: PyPI stores SHA256, Docker uses content-addressable storage
+
+#### Trust Boundaries

+```
+Creation (Developer)

+  ├─► PyPI: Create API token (scoped to project)
+  ├─► Docker Hub: Create access token (read/write)
+  │
+  ▼
+Storage (GitHub)
+  │
+  ├─► Encrypted at rest (AES-256)
+  ├─► Access controlled (repo-scoped)
+  │
+  ▼
+Usage (Workflow)
+  │
+  ├─► Injected as env vars
+  ├─► Masked in logs (GitHub redacts on output)
+  ├─► Never persisted to disk (in-memory only)
+  │
+  ▼
+Transmission (API Call)
+  │
+  ├─► HTTPS only
+  ├─► TLS 1.2+ with strong ciphers
+  │
+  ▼
+Rotation (Manual)
+  │
+  └─► Regenerate on PyPI/Docker Hub
+      Update GitHub secret

+
+## Performance Characteristics
+
+### Release Pipeline Performance
+
+| Metric | Value | Notes |
+|--------|-------|-------|
+| Cold start | ~2-3 min | First run on new runner |
+| Warm start | ~2-3 min | Minimal caching benefit |
+| PyPI upload | ~30-60 sec | Network-bound |
+| Package build | ~30 sec | CPU-bound |
+| Parallelization | None | Sequential by design |
+
+### Docker Pipeline Performance
+
+| Metric | Cold Cache | Warm Cache (code) | Warm Cache (deps) |
+|--------|-----------|-------------------|-------------------|
+| Total time | 10-15 min | 1-2 min | 3-5 min |
+| amd64 build | 5-7 min | 30-60 sec | 1-2 min |
+| arm64 build | 5-7 min | 30-60 sec | 1-2 min |
+| Push time | 1-2 min | 30 sec | 30 sec |
+| Cache hit rate | 0% | 85% | 60% |
+
+### Cache Performance Model
+
+```python
+def estimate_build_time(changes):
+    base_time = 60  # seconds (setup + push)
+
+    if "Dockerfile" in changes:
+        return base_time + (10 * 60)  # Full rebuild: ~11 min
+    elif "requirements.txt" in changes:
+        return base_time + (3 * 60)   # Deps rebuild: ~4 min
+    elif any(f.endswith(".py") for f in changes):
+        return base_time + 60          # Code only: ~2 min
+    else:
+        return base_time               # No changes: ~1 min
+```
+
+---
+
+## Scalability Considerations
+
+### Current Limits
+
+| Resource | Limit | Impact |
+|----------|-------|--------|
+| Workflow concurrency | 20 (default) | Max 20 releases in parallel |
+| Artifact storage | 500 MB/artifact | PyPI packages small (<10 MB) |
+| Cache storage | 10 GB/repo | Docker layers fit comfortably |
+| Workflow run time | 6 hours | Plenty of headroom |
+
+### Scaling Strategies
+
+#### Horizontal Scaling (Multiple Repos)
+```
+crawl4ai (main)
+  ├─ release.yml
+  └─ docker-release.yml
+
+crawl4ai-plugins (separate)
+  ├─ release.yml
+  └─ docker-release.yml
+
+Each repo has independent:
+  - Secrets
+  - Cache (10 GB each)
+  - Concurrency limits (20 each)
+```
+
+#### Vertical Scaling (Larger Runners)
+```yaml
+jobs:
+  docker:
+    runs-on: ubuntu-latest-8-cores  # GitHub-hosted larger runner
+    # 4x faster builds for CPU-bound layers
+```
+
+---
+
+## Disaster Recovery
+
+### Failure Scenarios
+
+#### Scenario 1: Release Pipeline Fails
+
+**Failure Point**: PyPI upload fails (network error)
+
+**State**:
+- ✓ Version validated
+- ✓ Package built
+- ✗ PyPI upload
+- ✗ GitHub release
+
+**Recovery**:
+```bash
+# Manual upload
+twine upload dist/*
+
+# Retry workflow (re-run from GitHub Actions UI)
+```
+
+**Prevention**: Add retry logic to PyPI upload
+
+#### Scenario 2: Docker Pipeline Fails
+
+**Failure Point**: ARM build fails (dependency issue)
+
+**State**:
+- ✓ PyPI published
+- ✓ GitHub release created
+- ✓ amd64 image built
+- ✗ arm64 image build
+
+**Recovery**:
+```bash
+# Fix Dockerfile
+git commit -am "fix: ARM build dependency"
+
+# Trigger rebuild
+git tag docker-rebuild-v1.2.3
+git push origin docker-rebuild-v1.2.3
+```
+
+**Impact**: PyPI package available, only Docker ARM users affected
+
+#### Scenario 3: Partial Release
+
+**Failure Point**: GitHub release creation fails
+
+**State**:
+- ✓ PyPI published
+- ✗ GitHub release
+- ✗ Docker images
+
+**Recovery**:
+```bash
+# Create release manually
+gh release create v1.2.3 \
+  --title "Release v1.2.3" \
+  --notes "..."
+
+# This triggers docker-release.yml automatically
+```
+
+---
+
+## Monitoring and Observability
+
+### Metrics to Track
+
+#### Release Pipeline
+- Success rate (target: >99%)
+- Duration (target: <3 min)
+- PyPI upload time (target: <60 sec)
+
+#### Docker Pipeline
+- Success rate (target: >95%)
+- Duration (target: <15 min cold, <2 min warm)
+- Cache hit rate (target: >80% for code changes)
+
+### Alerting
+
+**Critical Alerts**:
+- Release pipeline failure (blocks release)
+- PyPI authentication failure (expired token)
+
+**Warning Alerts**:
+- Docker build >15 min (performance degradation)
+- Cache hit rate <50% (cache issue)
+
+### Logging
+
+**GitHub Actions Logs**:
+- Retention: 90 days
+- Downloadable: Yes
+- Searchable: Limited
+
+**Recommended External Logging**:
+```yaml
+- name: Send logs to external service
+  if: failure()
+  run: |
+    curl -X POST https://logs.example.com/api/v1/logs \
+      -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
+      -d "{\"workflow\": \"${{ github.workflow }}\", \"status\": \"failed\"}"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Future Enhancements
+
+### Planned Improvements
+
+1. **Automated Changelog Generation**
+   - Use conventional commits
+   - Generate CHANGELOG.md automatically
+
+2. **Pre-release Testing**
+   - Test builds on `test-v*` tags
+   - Upload to TestPyPI
+
+3. **Notification System**
+   - Slack/Discord notifications on release
+   - Email on failure
+
+4. **Performance Optimization**
+   - Parallel Docker builds (amd64 + arm64 simultaneously)
+   - Persistent runners for better caching
+
+5. **Enhanced Validation**
+   - Smoke tests after PyPI upload
+   - Container security scanning

+# 🚀 Crawl4AI v0.7.5: The Docker Hooks & Security Update
+
+*September 29, 2025 • 8 min read*
+
+---
+
+Today I'm releasing Crawl4AI v0.7.5—focused on extensibility and security. This update introduces the Docker Hooks System for pipeline customization, enhanced LLM integration, and important security improvements.
+
+## 🎯 What's New at a Glance
+
+- **Docker Hooks System**: Custom Python functions at key pipeline points with function-based API
+- **Function-Based Hooks**: New `hooks_to_string()` utility with Docker client auto-conversion
+- **Enhanced LLM Integration**: Custom providers with temperature control
+- **HTTPS Preservation**: Secure internal link handling
+- **Bug Fixes**: Resolved multiple community-reported issues
+- **Improved Docker Error Handling**: Better debugging and reliability
+
+## 🔧 Docker Hooks System: Pipeline Customization
+
+Every scraping project needs custom logic—authentication, performance optimization, content processing. Traditional solutions require forking or complex workarounds. Docker Hooks let you inject custom Python functions at 8 key points in the crawling pipeline.
+
+### Real Example: Authentication & Performance
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+# Real working hooks for httpbin.org
+hooks_config = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    print("Hook: Setting up page context")
+    # Block images to speed up crawling
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    print("Hook: Images blocked")
+    return page
+""",
+
+    "before_retrieve_html": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    print("Hook: Before retrieving HTML")
+    # Scroll to bottom to load lazy content
+    await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+    await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)
+    print("Hook: Scrolled to bottom")
+    return page
+""",
+
+    "before_goto": """
+async def hook(page, context, url, **kwargs):
+    print(f"Hook: About to navigate to {url}")
+    # Add custom headers
+    await page.set_extra_http_headers({
+        'X-Test-Header': 'crawl4ai-hooks-test'
+    })
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+# Test with Docker API
+payload = {
+    "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    "hooks": {
+        "code": hooks_config,
+        "timeout": 30
+    }
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json=payload)
+result = response.json()
+
+if result.get('success'):
+    print("✅ Hooks executed successfully!")
+    print(f"Content length: {len(result.get('markdown', ''))} characters")
+```
+
+**Available Hook Points:**
+- `on_browser_created`: Browser setup
+- `on_page_context_created`: Page context configuration
+- `before_goto`: Pre-navigation setup
+- `after_goto`: Post-navigation processing
+- `on_user_agent_updated`: User agent changes
+- `on_execution_started`: Crawl initialization
+- `before_retrieve_html`: Pre-extraction processing
+- `before_return_html`: Final HTML processing
+
+### Function-Based Hooks API
+
+Writing hooks as strings works, but lacks IDE support and type checking. v0.7.5 introduces a function-based approach with automatic conversion!
+
+**Option 1: Using the `hooks_to_string()` Utility**
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import hooks_to_string
+import requests
+
+# Define hooks as regular Python functions (with full IDE support!)
+async def on_page_context_created(page, context, **kwargs):
+    """Block images to speed up crawling"""
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1920, "height": 1080})
+    return page
+
+async def before_goto(page, context, url, **kwargs):
+    """Add custom headers"""
+    await page.set_extra_http_headers({
+        'X-Crawl4AI': 'v0.7.5',
+        'X-Custom-Header': 'my-value'
+    })
+    return page
+
+# Convert functions to strings
+hooks_code = hooks_to_string({
+    "on_page_context_created": on_page_context_created,
+    "before_goto": before_goto
+})
+
+# Use with REST API
+payload = {
+    "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 30}
+}
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json=payload)
+```
+
+**Option 2: Docker Client with Automatic Conversion (Recommended!)**
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.docker_client import Crawl4aiDockerClient
+
+# Define hooks as functions (same as above)
+async def on_page_context_created(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    return page
+
+async def before_retrieve_html(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Scroll to load lazy content
+    await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+    await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)
+    return page
+
+# Use Docker client - conversion happens automatically!
+client = Crawl4aiDockerClient(base_url="http://localhost:11235")
+
+results = await client.crawl(
+    urls=["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    hooks={
+        "on_page_context_created": on_page_context_created,
+        "before_retrieve_html": before_retrieve_html
+    },
+    hooks_timeout=30
+)
+
+if results and results.success:
+    print(f"✅ Hooks executed! HTML length: {len(results.html)}")
+```
+
+**Benefits of Function-Based Hooks:**
+- ✅ Full IDE support (autocomplete, syntax highlighting)
+- ✅ Type checking and linting
+- ✅ Easier to test and debug
+- ✅ Reusable across projects
+- ✅ Automatic conversion in Docker client
+- ✅ No breaking changes - string hooks still work!

+## 🔒 HTTPS Preservation
+
+**The Problem:** Modern web apps require HTTPS everywhere. When crawlers downgrade internal links from HTTPS to HTTP, authentication breaks and security warnings appear.
+
+**Solution:** HTTPS preservation maintains secure protocols throughout crawling.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig, FilterChain, URLPatternFilter, BFSDeepCrawlStrategy
+
+async def test_https_preservation():
+    # Enable HTTPS preservation
+    url_filter = URLPatternFilter(
+        patterns=["^(https:\/\/)?quotes\.toscrape\.com(\/.*)?$"]
+    )
+
+    config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+        exclude_external_links=True,
+        preserve_https_for_internal_links=True,  # New in v0.7.5
+        deep_crawl_strategy=BFSDeepCrawlStrategy(
+            max_depth=2,
+            max_pages=5,
+            filter_chain=FilterChain([url_filter])
+        )
+    )
+
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        async for result in await crawler.arun(
+            url="https://quotes.toscrape.com",
+            config=config
+        ):
+            # All internal links maintain HTTPS
+            internal_links = [link['href'] for link in result.links['internal']]
+            https_links = [link for link in internal_links if link.startswith('https://')]
+
+            print(f"HTTPS links preserved: {len(https_links)}/{len(internal_links)}")
+            for link in https_links[:3]:
+                print(f"  → {link}")
+```
+
+## 🛠️ Bug Fixes and Improvements
+
+### Major Fixes
+- **URL Processing**: Fixed '+' sign preservation in query parameters (#1332)
+- **Proxy Configuration**: Enhanced proxy string parsing (old `proxy` parameter deprecated)
+- **Docker Error Handling**: Comprehensive error messages with status codes
+- **Memory Management**: Fixed leaks in long-running sessions
+- **JWT Authentication**: Fixed Docker JWT validation issues (#1442)
+- **Playwright Stealth**: Fixed stealth features for Playwright integration (#1481)
+- **API Configuration**: Fixed config handling to prevent overriding user-provided settings (#1505)
+- **Docker Filter Serialization**: Resolved JSON encoding errors in deep crawl strategy (#1419)
+- **LLM Provider Support**: Fixed custom LLM provider integration for adaptive crawler (#1291)
+- **Performance Issues**: Resolved backoff strategy failures and timeout handling (#989)
+
+### Community-Reported Issues Fixed
+This release addresses multiple issues reported by the community through GitHub issues and Discord discussions:
+- Fixed browser configuration reference errors
+- Resolved dependency conflicts with cssselect
+- Improved error messaging for failed authentications
+- Enhanced compatibility with various proxy configurations
+- Fixed edge cases in URL normalization
+
+### Configuration Updates
+```python
+# Old proxy config (deprecated)
+# browser_config = BrowserConfig(proxy="http://proxy:8080")
+
+# New enhanced proxy config
+browser_config = BrowserConfig(
+    proxy_config={
+        "server": "http://proxy:8080",
+        "username": "optional-user",
+        "password": "optional-pass"
+    }
+)
+```
+
+## 🔄 Breaking Changes
+
+1. **Python 3.10+ Required**: Upgrade from Python 3.9
+2. **Proxy Parameter Deprecated**: Use new `proxy_config` structure
+3. **New Dependency**: Added `cssselect` for better CSS handling
+

+
+## 🔧 Docker Hooks System: Pipeline Customization
+
+Every scraping project needs custom logic—authentication, performance optimization, content processing. Traditional solutions require forking or complex workarounds. Docker Hooks let you inject custom Python functions at 8 key points in the crawling pipeline.
+
+### Real Example: Authentication & Performance
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+# Real working hooks for httpbin.org
+hooks_config = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    print("Hook: Setting up page context")
+    # Block images to speed up crawling
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    print("Hook: Images blocked")
+    return page
+""",
+
+    "before_retrieve_html": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    print("Hook: Before retrieving HTML")
+    # Scroll to bottom to load lazy content
+    await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+    await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)
+    print("Hook: Scrolled to bottom")
+    return page
+""",
+
+    "before_goto": """
+async def hook(page, context, url, **kwargs):
+    print(f"Hook: About to navigate to {url}")
+    # Add custom headers
+    await page.set_extra_http_headers({
+        'X-Test-Header': 'crawl4ai-hooks-test'
+    })
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+# Test with Docker API
+payload = {
+    "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    "hooks": {
+        "code": hooks_config,
+        "timeout": 30
+    }
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json=payload)
+result = response.json()
+
+if result.get('success'):
+    print("✅ Hooks executed successfully!")
+    print(f"Content length: {len(result.get('markdown', ''))} characters")
+```
+
+**Available Hook Points:**
+- `on_browser_created`: Browser setup
+- `on_page_context_created`: Page context configuration
+- `before_goto`: Pre-navigation setup
+- `after_goto`: Post-navigation processing
+- `on_user_agent_updated`: User agent changes
+- `on_execution_started`: Crawl initialization
+- `before_retrieve_html`: Pre-extraction processing
+- `before_return_html`: Final HTML processing
+
+### Function-Based Hooks API
+
+Writing hooks as strings works, but lacks IDE support and type checking. v0.7.5 introduces a function-based approach with automatic conversion!
+
+**Option 1: Using the `hooks_to_string()` Utility**
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import hooks_to_string
+import requests
+
+# Define hooks as regular Python functions (with full IDE support!)
+async def on_page_context_created(page, context, **kwargs):
+    """Block images to speed up crawling"""
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1920, "height": 1080})
+    return page
+
+async def before_goto(page, context, url, **kwargs):
+    """Add custom headers"""
+    await page.set_extra_http_headers({
+        'X-Crawl4AI': 'v0.7.5',
+        'X-Custom-Header': 'my-value'
+    })
+    return page
+
+# Convert functions to strings
+hooks_code = hooks_to_string({
+    "on_page_context_created": on_page_context_created,
+    "before_goto": before_goto
+})
+
+# Use with REST API
+payload = {
+    "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 30}
+}
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json=payload)
+```
+
+**Option 2: Docker Client with Automatic Conversion (Recommended!)**
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai.docker_client import Crawl4aiDockerClient
+
+# Define hooks as functions (same as above)
+async def on_page_context_created(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    return page
+
+async def before_retrieve_html(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Scroll to load lazy content
+    await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+    await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)
+    return page
+
+# Use Docker client - conversion happens automatically!
+client = Crawl4aiDockerClient(base_url="http://localhost:11235")
+
+results = await client.crawl(
+    urls=["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+    hooks={
+        "on_page_context_created": on_page_context_created,
+        "before_retrieve_html": before_retrieve_html
+    },
+    hooks_timeout=30
+)
+
+if results and results.success:
+    print(f"✅ Hooks executed! HTML length: {len(results.html)}")
+```
+
+**Benefits of Function-Based Hooks:**
+- ✅ Full IDE support (autocomplete, syntax highlighting)
+- ✅ Type checking and linting
+- ✅ Easier to test and debug
+- ✅ Reusable across projects
+- ✅ Automatic conversion in Docker client
+- ✅ No breaking changes - string hooks still work!
+
+## 🤖 Enhanced LLM Integration
+
+Enhanced LLM integration with custom providers, temperature control, and base URL configuration.
+
+### Multi-Provider Support
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig
+from crawl4ai.extraction_strategy import LLMExtractionStrategy
+
+# Test with different providers
+async def test_llm_providers():
+    # OpenAI with custom temperature
+    openai_strategy = LLMExtractionStrategy(
+        provider="gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-lite",
+        api_token="your-api-token",
+        temperature=0.7,  # New in v0.7.5
+        instruction="Summarize this page in one sentence"
+    )
+
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        result = await crawler.arun(
+            "https://example.com",
+            config=CrawlerRunConfig(extraction_strategy=openai_strategy)
+        )
+
+        if result.success:
+            print("✅ LLM extraction completed")
+            print(result.extracted_content)
+
+# Docker API with enhanced LLM config
+llm_payload = {
+    "url": "https://example.com",
+    "f": "llm",
+    "q": "Summarize this page in one sentence.",
+    "provider": "gemini/gemini-2.5-flash-lite",
+    "temperature": 0.7
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/md", json=llm_payload)
+```
+
+**New Features:**
+- Custom `temperature` parameter for creativity control
+- `base_url` for custom API endpoints
+- Multi-provider environment variable support
+- Docker API integration
+
+## 🔒 HTTPS Preservation
+
+**The Problem:** Modern web apps require HTTPS everywhere. When crawlers downgrade internal links from HTTPS to HTTP, authentication breaks and security warnings appear.
+
+**Solution:** HTTPS preservation maintains secure protocols throughout crawling.
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import AsyncWebCrawler, CrawlerRunConfig, FilterChain, URLPatternFilter, BFSDeepCrawlStrategy
+
+async def test_https_preservation():
+    # Enable HTTPS preservation
+    url_filter = URLPatternFilter(
+        patterns=["^(https:\/\/)?quotes\.toscrape\.com(\/.*)?$"]
+    )
+
+    config = CrawlerRunConfig(
+        exclude_external_links=True,
+        preserve_https_for_internal_links=True,  # New in v0.7.5
+        deep_crawl_strategy=BFSDeepCrawlStrategy(
+            max_depth=2,
+            max_pages=5,
+            filter_chain=FilterChain([url_filter])
+        )
+    )
+
+    async with AsyncWebCrawler() as crawler:
+        async for result in await crawler.arun(
+            url="https://quotes.toscrape.com",
+            config=config
+        ):
+            # All internal links maintain HTTPS
+            internal_links = [link['href'] for link in result.links['internal']]
+            https_links = [link for link in internal_links if link.startswith('https://')]
+
+            print(f"HTTPS links preserved: {len(https_links)}/{len(internal_links)}")
+            for link in https_links[:3]:
+                print(f"  → {link}")
+```
+

+## User-Provided Hooks API
+
+The Docker API supports user-provided hook functions, allowing you to customize the crawling behavior by injecting your own Python code at specific points in the crawling pipeline. This powerful feature enables authentication, performance optimization, and custom content extraction without modifying the server code.
+
+> ⚠️ **IMPORTANT SECURITY WARNING**: 
+> - **Never use hooks with untrusted code or on untrusted websites**
+> - **Be extremely careful when crawling sites that might be phishing or malicious**
+> - **Hook code has access to page context and can interact with the website**
+> - **Always validate and sanitize any data extracted through hooks**
+> - **Never expose credentials or sensitive data in hook code**
+> - **Consider running the Docker container in an isolated network when testing**
+
+### Hook Information Endpoint
+
+```
+GET /hooks/info
+```
+
+Returns information about available hook points and their signatures:
+
+```bash
+curl http://localhost:11235/hooks/info
+```
+
+### Available Hook Points
+
+The API supports 8 hook points that match the local SDK:
+
+| Hook Point | Parameters | Description | Best Use Cases |
+|------------|------------|-------------|----------------|
+| `on_browser_created` | `browser` | After browser instance creation | Light setup tasks |
+| `on_page_context_created` | `page, context` | After page/context creation | **Authentication, cookies, route blocking** |
+| `before_goto` | `page, context, url` | Before navigating to URL | Custom headers, logging |
+| `after_goto` | `page, context, url, response` | After navigation completes | Verification, waiting for elements |
+| `on_user_agent_updated` | `page, context, user_agent` | When user agent changes | UA-specific logic |
+| `on_execution_started` | `page, context` | When JS execution begins | JS-related setup |
+| `before_retrieve_html` | `page, context` | Before getting final HTML | **Scrolling, lazy loading** |
+| `before_return_html` | `page, context, html` | Before returning HTML | Final modifications, metrics |
+
+### Using Hooks in Requests
+
+Add hooks to any crawl request by including the `hooks` parameter:
+
+```json
+{
+  "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/html"],
+  "hooks": {
+    "code": {
+      "hook_point_name": "async def hook(...): ...",
+      "another_hook": "async def hook(...): ..."
+    },
+    "timeout": 30  // Optional, default 30 seconds (max 120)
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Hook Examples with Real URLs
+
+#### 1. Authentication with Cookies (GitHub)
+
+```python
+import requests
+
+# Example: Setting GitHub session cookie (use your actual session)
+hooks_code = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Add authentication cookies for GitHub
+    # WARNING: Never hardcode real credentials!
+    await context.add_cookies([
+        {
+            'name': 'user_session',
+            'value': 'your_github_session_token',  # Replace with actual token
+            'domain': '.github.com',
+            'path': '/',
+            'httpOnly': True,
+            'secure': True,
+            'sameSite': 'Lax'
+        }
+    ])
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json={
+    "urls": ["https://github.com/settings/profile"],  # Protected page
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 30}
+})
+```
+
+#### 2. Basic Authentication (httpbin.org for testing)
+
+```python
+# Safe testing with httpbin.org (a service designed for HTTP testing)
+hooks_code = {
+    "before_goto": """
+async def hook(page, context, url, **kwargs):
+    import base64
+    # httpbin.org/basic-auth expects username="user" and password="passwd"
+    credentials = base64.b64encode(b"user:passwd").decode('ascii')
+    
+    await page.set_extra_http_headers({
+        'Authorization': f'Basic {credentials}'
+    })
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json={
+    "urls": ["https://httpbin.org/basic-auth/user/passwd"],
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 15}
+})
+```
+
+#### 3. Performance Optimization (News Sites)
+
+```python
+# Example: Optimizing crawling of news sites like CNN or BBC
+hooks_code = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Block images, fonts, and media to speed up crawling
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp,svg,ico}", lambda route: route.abort())
+    await context.route("**/*.{woff,woff2,ttf,otf,eot}", lambda route: route.abort())

+    "urls": ["https://www.bbc.com/news"],  # Heavy news site
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 30}
+})
+```
+
+#### 4. Handling Infinite Scroll (Twitter/X)
+
+```python
+# Example: Scrolling on Twitter/X (requires authentication)
+hooks_code = {
+    "before_retrieve_html": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Scroll to load more tweets
+    previous_height = 0
+    for i in range(5):  # Limit scrolls to avoid infinite loop
+        current_height = await page.evaluate("document.body.scrollHeight")
+        if current_height == previous_height:
+            break  # No more content to load
+            
+        await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+        await page.wait_for_timeout(2000)  # Wait for content to load
+        previous_height = current_height
+    
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+# Note: Twitter requires authentication for most content
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json={
+    "urls": ["https://twitter.com/nasa"],  # Public profile
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 30}
+})
+```
+
+#### 5. E-commerce Login (Example Pattern)
+
+```python
+# SECURITY WARNING: This is a pattern example. 
+# Never use real credentials in code!
+# Always use environment variables or secure vaults.
+
+hooks_code = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    # Example pattern for e-commerce sites
+    # DO NOT use real credentials here!
+    
+    # Navigate to login page first
+    await page.goto("https://example-shop.com/login")
+    
+    # Wait for login form to load
+    await page.wait_for_selector("#email", timeout=5000)
+    
+    # Fill login form (use environment variables in production!)

+    await page.wait_for_url("**/account/**", timeout=10000)
+    
+    return page
+"""
+}
+```
+
+#### 6. Extracting Structured Data (Wikipedia)
+
+```python
+# Safe example using Wikipedia
+hooks_code = {
+    "after_goto": """
+async def hook(page, context, url, response, **kwargs):
+    # Wait for Wikipedia content to load
+    await page.wait_for_selector("#content", timeout=5000)

+        if (!infobox) return null;
+        
+        const data = {};

+            const value = row.querySelector('td');
+            if (header && value) {
+                data[header.innerText.trim()] = value.innerText.trim();
+            }
+        });
+        
+        return data;
+    }''')
+    
+    if metadata:
+        print("Extracted metadata:", metadata)
+    
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json={
+    "urls": ["https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Python_(programming_language)"],
+    "hooks": {"code": hooks_code, "timeout": 20}
+})
+```
+
+### Security Best Practices
+
+> 🔒 **Critical Security Guidelines**:
+
+1. **Never Trust User Input**: If accepting hook code from users, always validate and sandbox it
+2. **Avoid Phishing Sites**: Never use hooks on suspicious or unverified websites
+3. **Protect Credentials**: 
+   - Never hardcode passwords, tokens, or API keys in hook code
+   - Use environment variables or secure secret management
+   - Rotate credentials regularly
+4. **Network Isolation**: Run the Docker container in an isolated network when testing
+5. **Audit Hook Code**: Always review hook code before execution
+6. **Limit Permissions**: Use the least privileged access needed
+7. **Monitor Execution**: Check hook execution logs for suspicious behavior
+8. **Timeout Protection**: Always set reasonable timeouts (default 30s)
+
+### Hook Response Information
+
+When hooks are used, the response includes detailed execution information:
+
+```json
+{
+  "success": true,
+  "results": [...],
+  "hooks": {
+    "status": {
+      "status": "success",  // or "partial" or "failed"
+      "attached_hooks": ["on_page_context_created", "before_retrieve_html"],
+      "validation_errors": [],
+      "successfully_attached": 2,
+      "failed_validation": 0
+    },
+    "execution_log": [
+      {
+        "hook_point": "on_page_context_created",
+        "status": "success",
+        "execution_time": 0.523,
+        "timestamp": 1234567890.123
+      }
+    ],
+    "errors": [],  // Any runtime errors
+    "summary": {
+      "total_executions": 2,
+      "successful": 2,
+      "failed": 0,
+      "timed_out": 0,
+      "success_rate": 100.0
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Error Handling
+
+The hooks system is designed to be resilient:
+
+1. **Validation Errors**: Caught before execution (syntax errors, wrong parameters)
+2. **Runtime Errors**: Handled gracefully - crawl continues with original page object
+3. **Timeout Protection**: Hooks automatically terminated after timeout (configurable 1-120s)
+
+### Complete Example: Safe Multi-Hook Crawling
+
+```python
+import requests
+import json
+import os
+
+# Safe example using httpbin.org for testing
+hooks_code = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):

+    await page.wait_for_timeout(1000)
+    return page
+"""
+}
+
+# Make the request to safe testing endpoints
+response = requests.post("http://localhost:11235/crawl", json={
+    "urls": [
+        "https://httpbin.org/html",
+        "https://httpbin.org/json"
+    ],
+    "hooks": {
+        "code": hooks_code,
+        "timeout": 30
+    },

+    }
+})
+
+# Check results

+    data = response.json()
+    
+    # Check hook execution
+    if data['hooks']['status']['status'] == 'success':
+        print(f"✅ All {len(data['hooks']['status']['attached_hooks'])} hooks executed successfully")
+        print(f"Execution stats: {data['hooks']['summary']}")
+    
+    # Process crawl results

+        print(f"Crawled: {result['url']} - Success: {result['success']}")
+else:
+    print(f"Error: {response.status_code}")
+```
+
+> 💡 **Remember**: Always test your hooks on safe, known websites first before using them on production sites. Never crawl sites that you don't have permission to access or that might be malicious.
+
+### Hooks Utility: Function-Based Approach (Python)
+
+For Python developers, Crawl4AI provides a more convenient way to work with hooks using the `hooks_to_string()` utility function and Docker client integration.
+
+#### Why Use Function-Based Hooks?
+
+**String-Based Approach (shown above)**:
+```python
+hooks_code = {
+    "on_page_context_created": """
+async def hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1920, "height": 1080})
+    return page
+"""
+}
+```
+
+**Function-Based Approach (recommended for Python)**:
+```python
+from crawl4ai import Crawl4aiDockerClient
+
+async def my_hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1920, "height": 1080})
+    return page
+
+async with Crawl4aiDockerClient(base_url="http://localhost:11235") as client:
+    result = await client.crawl(
+        ["https://example.com"],
+        hooks={"on_page_context_created": my_hook}
+    )
+```
+
+**Benefits**:
+- ✅ Write hooks as regular Python functions
+- ✅ Full IDE support (autocomplete, syntax highlighting, type checking)
+- ✅ Easy to test and debug
+- ✅ Reusable hook libraries
+- ✅ Automatic conversion to API format
+
+#### Using the Hooks Utility
+
+The `hooks_to_string()` utility converts Python function objects to the string format required by the API:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import hooks_to_string
+
+# Define your hooks as functions
+async def setup_hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await page.set_viewport_size({"width": 1920, "height": 1080})
+    await context.add_cookies([{
+        "name": "session",
+        "value": "token",
+        "domain": ".example.com"
+    }])
+    return page
+
+async def scroll_hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    await page.evaluate("window.scrollTo(0, document.body.scrollHeight)")
+    return page
+
+# Convert to string format
+hooks_dict = {
+    "on_page_context_created": setup_hook,
+    "before_retrieve_html": scroll_hook
+}
+hooks_string = hooks_to_string(hooks_dict)
+
+# Now use with REST API or Docker client
+# hooks_string contains the string representations
+```
+
+#### Docker Client with Automatic Conversion
+
+The Docker client automatically detects and converts function objects:
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import Crawl4aiDockerClient
+
+async def auth_hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    """Add authentication cookies"""
+    await context.add_cookies([{
+        "name": "auth_token",
+        "value": "your_token",
+        "domain": ".example.com"
+    }])
+    return page
+
+async def performance_hook(page, context, **kwargs):
+    """Block unnecessary resources"""
+    await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,gif}", lambda r: r.abort())
+    await context.route("**/analytics/*", lambda r: r.abort())
+    return page
+
+async with Crawl4aiDockerClient(base_url="http://localhost:11235") as client:
+    # Pass functions directly - automatic conversion!
+    result = await client.crawl(
+        ["https://example.com"],
+        hooks={
+            "on_page_context_created": performance_hook,
+            "before_goto": auth_hook
+        },
+        hooks_timeout=30  # Optional timeout in seconds (1-120)
+    )
+
+    print(f"Success: {result.success}")
+    print(f"HTML: {len(result.html)} chars")
+```
+
+#### Creating Reusable Hook Libraries
+
+Build collections of reusable hooks:
+
+```python
+# hooks_library.py
+class CrawlHooks:
+    """Reusable hook collection for common crawling tasks"""
+
+    @staticmethod
+    async def block_images(page, context, **kwargs):
+        """Block all images to speed up crawling"""
+        await context.route("**/*.{png,jpg,jpeg,gif,webp}", lambda r: r.abort())
+        return page

+
+#### Choosing the Right Approach
+
+| Approach | Best For | IDE Support | Language |
+|----------|----------|-------------|----------|
+| **String-based** | Non-Python clients, REST APIs, other languages | ❌ None | Any |
+| **Function-based** | Python applications, local development | ✅ Full | Python only |
+| **Docker Client** | Python apps with automatic conversion | ✅ Full | Python only |
+
+**Recommendation**:
+- **Python applications**: Use Docker client with function objects (easiest)
+- **Non-Python or REST API**: Use string-based hooks (most flexible)
+- **Manual control**: Use `hooks_to_string()` utility (middle ground)
+
+#### Complete Example with Function Hooks
+
+```python
+from crawl4ai import Crawl4aiDockerClient, BrowserConfig, CrawlerRunConfig, CacheMode

+# Define hooks as regular Python functions

+🚀 Crawl4AI v0.7.5 - Docker Hooks System Complete Demonstration
+================================================================
+
+This file demonstrates the NEW Docker Hooks System introduced in v0.7.5.
+
+The Docker Hooks System is a completely NEW feature that provides pipeline
+customization through user-provided Python functions. It offers three approaches:
+
+1. String-based hooks for REST API
+2. hooks_to_string() utility to convert functions
+3. Docker Client with automatic conversion (most convenient)
+
+All three approaches are part of this NEW v0.7.5 feature!
+
+Perfect for video recording and demonstration purposes.
+
+Requirements:
+- Docker container running: docker run -p 11235:11235 unclecode/crawl4ai:latest
+- crawl4ai v0.7.5 installed: pip install crawl4ai==0.7.5
