## Changelog

### 2026-09-21

*Reliability*

- Optional channel-detail and continuation request failures now keep already collected channel results instead of failing the whole run.

### 2026-09-14

*Reliability*

- Added a structured-search fallback for blocked or malformed YouTube result pages; if both routes fail, the run now fails clearly instead of ending successfully with an unexplained empty dataset.

### 2026-09-13

*Features*

- Added bounded YouTube continuation pagination so searches can return more than the initial page of unique channels, up to the requested limit when available.

### 2026-06-20

*Features*

- Initial public release with keyword and YouTube search URL discovery, structured channel profile exports, source ranking, and optional channel detail enrichment.
