## Changelog

### 2026-10-05

#### Reliability

- Recover once from a stalled search-page client bootstrap in a fresh isolated browser session, preserving useful batch results and explicit failures if recovery is exhausted.

### 2026-10-04

#### Reliability

- Reduced browser and pagination memory retention across multi-target searches and show archive exports without reducing result limits or metadata.
- Continue other search targets when Spotify confirms an empty collection; batches with no useful records and malformed or inaccessible results still fail explicitly.

### 2026-09-10

#### Added

- Added direct Spotify show URL support for exporting a show's paginated episode archive.
- Added a deterministic `sourceType` field to distinguish search results from show archive rows.
- Kept the global result cap, URI deduplication, normalized show links, and existing per-result charging across both workflows.

### 2026-08-08

#### Reliability

- Restored podcast and episode searches after Spotify retired its entity-specific search operations.

### 0.1.0

- Added keyword search for public Spotify podcast shows and episodes.
- Added Spotify search URL inputs, bounded pagination, deduplication, and normalized metadata exports.
- Included publisher, parent show, publication date, duration, media type, artwork, and canonical link fields when Spotify surfaces them.
