## Changelog

### 2026-09-18

*Reliability*

- Residential proxy sessions now retain one coherent browser fingerprint and marketplace locale across successful pages, then rotate the full identity after a block.
- Default anti-bot recovery increased to 10 bounded attempts, with an optional maximum of 12 for unusually intermittent searches.
- Prices using European decimal commas and grouped thousands now parse to the correct numeric value.

### 2026-09-15

*Reliability*

- Searches now reuse a proven residential session; blocked retries rotate identity, alternate equivalent Amazon routes, and use bounded backoff to reduce intermittent anti-bot exhaustion.
- Generic response shells are retried instead of being treated as valid empty search results.

### 2026-09-04

*Features*

- Every product now includes its originating `searchQuery`, 1-based `searchPage`, and 1-based `searchPosition` across pages.
- ASIN deduplication now applies within each query, preserving useful product overlap and ranking data across different queries.

### 2026-08-06

*Reliability*

- Runs now fail honestly when Amazon blocks or fails every retry for any requested search, instead of silently succeeding with missing or zero output.

### 2026-05-28

*Changes*

- Improved input form labels, examples, and help text to make setup clearer.
