## Changelog

### 2026-09-09

- Added an optional `newerThan` review-date cutoff for incremental monitoring. Reviews strictly newer than the checkpoint are emitted and charged; ambiguous localized dates are retained and reported rather than silently lost.

### 2026-07-30

- Fixed cross-ASIN review attribution when Amazon serves one selected variation for multiple sibling product URLs.
- Improved review availability by retrying empty Amazon responses through a fresh low-cost session before using the residential fallback.

### 2026-07-17

- Source-gated listings now finish with a clear account-verification status and preserve product metadata instead of being counted as hard failures. Fully blocked runs with no useful Amazon response still fail.

### 2026-07-15

- Added Amazon Singapore (`amazon.sg`) marketplace support. Amazon Japan (`amazon.co.jp`) remains supported and was reverified.
- Prevented duplicate marketplace review containers from producing duplicate output records or charges.
- Runs now fail with a clear access/account-verification message when Amazon exposes product metadata but no anonymous review records, instead of appearing successful with an empty review dataset.

### 2026-07-10

- Added a mobile product-page fallback to improve review extraction when Amazon desktop pages return no review rows.

### 2026-06-23

- Improved review scraping reliability with proxy fallback handling for blocked Amazon pages and marketplaces.

### 2026-05-15

- Improved star-rating and critical-review filters so they return matching Amazon reviews more reliably.
