## Changelog

### 2026-09-27

- Profile scraping now treats X GraphQL rate-limit errors as temporary access failures and tries a fresh residential identity instead of misreporting the profile as missing.

### 2026-09-21

- Added one bounded fresh residential identity fallback when a profile request exhausts transient retries on its original proxy identity.
- Tweet-by-URL runs now fail clearly instead of reporting success when every requested tweet is unavailable, and the example tweet was refreshed.

### 2026-09-18

- Fixed bounded retries for temporary HTTP 429 and upstream 5xx responses that are returned normally by the HTTP client instead of thrown as request errors.

### 2026-09-07

- Added bounded exponential-backoff retries for temporary rate limits, server errors, socket resets, timeouts, and TLS disconnects across X API requests.
- Authentication, validation, and not-found failures continue to fail immediately without unnecessary retries.
