Infinite recursion on modern web apps returning same-size fallback pages

Description

When scanning modern web apps (e.g. React/Next.js/Angular) in recursive mode, dirsearch often loops infinitely because the target returns identical-sized responses (e.g. fallback index.html) for non-existent paths. This causes repeated recursion with no new results.

Steps to Reproduce dirsearch -u https://target.site/ -r --deep-recursive -i 200 --recursion-status 200,403 All subpaths return the same response size and dirsearch keeps scanning endlessly.

Expected Behavior

If the same (status_code, response_size) repeats several times for a base path, dirsearch should:

Stop recursion on that path.

Log a message indicating repeated identical responses

Proposed Solution

Add a limit and skip behavior:

CLI option: --max-same-size (default 5)

Internal logic example: seen_sizes[base][(status, size)] += 1 if seen_sizes[base][(status, size)] > max_same_size: skip_recursion(base)

Why

Modern apps return same-size fallback pages for all routes — current recursion logic misinterprets them as valid directories
