A Stealthii instance binds its lock, browser, and contexts to whichever
asyncio event loop is running the first time it is used. Using it again
from a different loop previously hung forever (the lock/semaphore/
Playwright transport are all bound to the dead first loop and never
wake the waiting coroutine). Detected in rsearch's test suite, where
pytest-asyncio's default per-test-function event loop broke the
module-level Stealthii singleton shared across tests.
Now raises StealthUnavailableError immediately with an actionable
message. README documents the constraint and the pytest-asyncio config
fix (asyncio_default_test_loop_scope = session).

async-with tab claiming, and full documentation
- get/post/put/patch/delete/head now accept the same request shape as
aiohttp/httpx: data/json/files/cookies/auth/allow_redirects/
follow_redirects/max_redirects, plus the existing session= for named
cookie-persisting contexts.
- screenshot(url, path=None) captures a PNG, saved to disk or returned
as base64.
- `async with stealth as page` claims a tab directly, task-safe for
concurrent use on one shared instance (keyed off asyncio.current_task,
not instance state).
- Strip all docstrings/comments from the source (author line excepted),
per house style.
- README.md rewritten as the complete documentation: rationale, JA3/JA4
comparison, dependencies, construction/laziness/lifetime, every method
with examples, named sessions, configuration, error handling, testing.
- STEALTH_PATCHES.md: a literal, patch-by-patch account of every launch
argument and JS patch applied, with rationale and verification method.
- 20 new tests: full HTTP-method coverage, cookies, auth, multipart,
download, render, screenshot, named-session isolation, retry/error
paths, and guaranteed page/context cleanup under exception.
