## Changelog

### 2026-10-21

#### Fixes and changes

- Reject malformed source card/ranking identities and blank commander summary names before saving requested records, rather than emitting unusable paid results. Preserve valid name/slug fallbacks, summary-only requests and output caps.
- Restored legacy featured-category selection with explicit high-lift fallback, actual source category/title, requested-category diagnostics and available-category discovery. Fallback does not duplicate a source list.
- Added source lift separately from synergy. Corrected the legacy `year` label to EDHREC's current two-year window and added source period tag/title.
- Validate the complete applicable API input and normalized commander batch before extraction; reject scoped URLs rather than silently dropping their scope. Detect malformed source lists instead of returning empty ranking success.

#### Reliability

- Added sanitized private failure diagnostics with secret/query scrubbing and 30-day retention.

### 0.1.0

- Added weekly, monthly, and annual EDHREC commander popularity exports.
- Added commander summaries with bracket, budget, theme, and related-commander statistics.
- Added theme- and budget-scoped card synergy, inclusion, deck-count, and trend records.
