    NEW: Cookie security analysis — every cookie inspected for Secure, HttpOnly, SameSite, and __Host- prefix compliance. Cookie grade affects your overall score.

    NEW: DNS-only fallback — when a web server is unreachable, GuardPad automatically runs DNS analysis and delivers a partial security grade. Works for mail-only domains, temporarily down sites, and non-HTTP services. NEW: DNS-only results show a distinct dashed-ring grade, "DNS ONLY" badge, email-focused report card, and adapted methodology breakdown (70% email / 10% DNSSEC / 10% CAA / 10% MX). NEW: MX record quality analysis — detects multiple mail servers, null MX (RFC 7505), bare IP addresses, and priority ordering. NEW: DNS-only integration across the app — history badges, batch auto-fallback with aggregate stats, cross-mode diff, share card, PDF/Markdown exports, and VoiceOver announcements. NEW: Context-sensitive grading — your grade now accounts for site type. A static blog isn't held to the same standard as a banking SPA. Five site types detected automatically: static, SPA, API, CMS, and generic. NEW: Grade explanations — tap any grade to see exactly which headers matter most for your site type and how weights were adjusted. NEW: Site type override — disagree with the detection? Override it and watch your grade recalculate live. NEW: Smart recommendations — fix suggestions ordered by relevance to your site type. NEW: Reporting API detection — Report-To and Network Error Logging (NEL) headers identified. NEW: Email security analysis — SPF, DMARC, and DKIM records graded individually. NEW: OWASP Top 10:2025 compliance mapping — each finding mapped to the risk it mitigates. NEW: DNSSEC validation and CAA record grading in DNS tools. NEW: Trusted Types CSP detection with A+ grade boost. IMPROVED: Re-scan diff overlay with inline grade change badges. IMPROVED: Shareable amber-themed grade card image. IMPROVED: 3-tab layout (Scan / History / Tools) with iPad sidebar. IMPROVED: Batch scan rows show site type badges. IMPROVED: PDF and Markdown exports include all analysis sections.
