## Changelog

### 2026-09-09

*Fixes*

- Fixed channel date filtering so `startDate` and `endDate` now use inclusive publication-date bounds before transcript extraction and charging. Invalid or reversed date ranges now fail with a clear validation error.

### 2026-08-20

*Features*

- Added opt-in public YouTube playlist URL expansion with bounded `maxVideosPerPlaylist` processing, playlist-order preservation, and first-occurrence deduplication across playlist, channel, and direct video inputs.

### 2026-07-10

*Features*

- Added optional PDF transcript export with `generatePdf`. Successful transcript items can now include downloadable PDF file metadata while the default transcript-only behavior remains unchanged.
