Peruse has long meant “to read thoroughly” and is often used loosely when one could use the word read instead. Sometimes people use it to mean “to glance over, skim,” as in I only had a moment to peruse the manual quickly, but this usage is widely considered an error.

To casually examine at some length. So, halfway between your two possibilities.

It definitely means to read thoroughly. Thank you for bringing this to my attention. I now realized that I was unaware of this word’s actual meaning and looked it up on dictionary.com.
