## Changelog

### 2026-09-23

*Fixes*

- Masked phone snippets on people-search cards no longer include adjacent email text.

### 2026-09-21

*Fixes*

- Restored person extraction against AnyWho’s current result-card and direct-profile markup.
- Removed fabricated reverse-phone rows and generic page-summary fallbacks; confirmed no-results are now distinct and uncharged, while challenges or unsupported markup fail clearly.
- Allowed start-URL-only jobs and added clear validation for phone numbers, area codes, directory letters, supported AnyWho URLs, and empty input.

*Improvements*

- Deduplicated canonical requests and emitted records so the same result is not stored or charged twice.
- Replaced guessed pagination paths with AnyWho’s published next-page links.
- Updated pricing, result-integrity, pagination, and troubleshooting documentation, with regression coverage for current page structures.

### 2026-06-23

*Features*

- Introduced structured extraction from public AnyWho name-search, reverse-phone, area-code, last-name directory, and direct URL pages.
- Added pagination and result limits for collecting public names, locations, masked phone snippets, relatives, profile URLs, area codes, and phone prefixes.

*Safety*

- Documented that the Actor is not a consumer-reporting tool and must not be used for FCRA-covered decisions.
