## Changelog

### 0.1.0 — 2026-09-19 UTC

#### Redirect tracing

- Check batches of public HTTP and HTTPS URLs and export every redirect hop, final destination, final status, redirect count, and per-hop and total timing.
- Use bounded concurrency, configurable redirect limits, and automatic GET fallback when an origin does not support HEAD requests.

#### Safety and diagnostics

- Identify completed chains, loops, redirect-limit stops, invalid redirect targets, and request errors with structured states and diagnostic fields.
- Block private and local network destinations, including redirect targets, to keep checks limited to public URLs.

#### Usage-based pricing

- Pay a small start fee plus one `url-checked` event for each successfully traced URL; transport-error rows are not charged.
