## Changelog

### 2026-09-01

*Reliability*

- Added automatic GET fallback when a server rejects HEAD with 405 or 501. Results now expose the method and fallback reason, including per-hop details when redirect tracing is enabled.

*Features*

- Added opt-in bounded redirect-chain tracing with final status and per-hop details. Enable `followRedirects` and choose `maxRedirects` from 1 through 10; existing runs remain unchanged by default.

### 2026-03-01
