### 2026-09-10

*Reliability*

- Multi-source runs now continue after an individual directory or profile is blocked and keep useful contractor results from remaining sources.
- Every run records failed source URLs, source types, and sanitized reasons in the `FAILED_SOURCES` key-value store record; runs still fail when no contractor can be extracted.

### 2026-07-16

*Features*

- Initial release for extracting public HomeAdvisor contractor profiles from city directories or direct profile URLs.
- Separate contractor and customer-review datasets include services, experience, ratings, review details, recommendations, and shown project prices.

*Reliability*

- Uses conservative US residential browser sessions, blocked-page detection, bounded retries, stable profile deduplication, and explicit output caps.

*Safety*

- Restricts inputs to public HomeAdvisor directory/profile pages and excludes account, quote-request, lead-submission, and gated phone-revelation flows.
