## Changelog

### \[0.4] - 2026-09-18

#### Improved

- Email quality checks now confirm mail-server (MX) availability and clearly state that they validate the domain rather than an individual mailbox.
- Email and lead-score filters inspect a bounded pool of extra candidates to return more matching leads while respecting the requested output limit.
- Dataset views expose the email verification level alongside the email status.
- Add-on usage is recorded consistently for every completed email quality check.
- Successful but unparsable upstream responses are retried through another route instead of silently producing an empty Dataset.

### \[0.3] - 2026-09-12

#### Added

- Ready-to-run public Tasks for high-intent local lead generation use cases.
- A small contact-enriched demo for empty API and MCP calls.

#### Improved

- First-run defaults now use one niche, 50 results, contact enrichment, and email verification instead of launching a broad 5,000-result city crawl.
- Transient upstream outages use a safe fallback instead of immediately failing the run.
- Missing or unresolvable locations finish cleanly with actionable guidance.
- Store title and search metadata now lead with the high-intent Google Maps email scraper use case.
