## Changelog

- Fall back to locally validated archive pages if native keyword search repeatedly times out.

### 2026-07-28

- Preserve already extracted archive records and finish cleanly when a broad or slow scan approaches the platform timeout.

### 2026-07-23

*Features*

- Export bounded historical Reddit post and comment windows by subreddit or author, with optional keyword and score filters.
- Keep posts and comments in separate run-scoped datasets with flat, analysis-ready fields and source provenance.
- Support reliable archive pagination, deduplication, rate-limit-aware retries, JSON/CSV/Excel exports, API calls, schedules, and MCP workflows without Reddit login credentials.
