## Changelog

### 2026-09-06

*Features*

- Added normalized `availabilityStatus` and `inStock` inventory fields to keyword-search and direct-product results.
- Unknown availability remains `null`, so price-monitoring workflows can distinguish missing evidence from confirmed stock.

### 2026-08-17

*Features*

- Added optional `productUrls` input for fetching current product details from known Walmart.com US product URLs.
- Product URLs are normalized and deduplicated while existing keyword-search behavior remains unchanged.

*Reliability*

- Fully blocked searches now fail explicitly instead of silently returning an empty dataset.
- Increased public workflow retry coverage and bounded redundant price-detail requests for more reliable, faster results.

*Fixes*

- Restored current, original, and savings price fields after Walmart removed price values from search-page data.

*Features*
