## Changelog

### 0.2 update (2026-10-13)

- A proxy exit that does not finish its connection setup within 8 seconds is now dropped and the call is retried on a fresh exit
  (it waited up to 30 seconds before, and one such wait could end a run early with a "run them again" row). The run summary's
  `requests` object adds `connectMs` (the slowest and total setup time of the run's connections, and the slowest failed one).

### 0.2 (2026-10-12)

- Sold tracker: listing ids or item links watched run after run, one row each with available, sold, pending or removed, back to
  available and price changes (old price, new price, difference), against the state kept in the memory; the Listing check event.
- Places: postal codes of any country ("10115, Germany", "M5V, Canada"), Marketplace city slugs and location ids, a search area
  radius up to 500 km searched as overlapping circles, a country preset (every Marketplace city of a country), search rows each with
  its own place and filters, an exit country override.
- Categories (17) and browsing without words, browse orders (oldest, farthest, mileage, model year), sold only, exact match,
  vehicle make, transmission and private or dealer sellers, listed in the last 1 to 365 days or after a date.
- Free row filters: include and exclude keywords, the same city only, a maximum distance (mark or drop, with details).
- Monitoring: changed listings delivered again with their previous price, unchanged ones free on request, a stop at the first page
  the memory knows, reposts flagged.
- Details: the seller's profile picture and verified badge, a dealer's phone and address, videos, engine, title status and
  features of vehicles; contacts written in the description on request.
- Output: description length and format (text, HTML, Markdown), compact rows, rows without empty fields, flat rows.
- Alerts after the run (free): a webhook, Discord, Slack, Telegram or WhatsApp.

### 0.1 (2026-10-12)

- First build: Marketplace search by words and place (Facebook's own place names or coordinates, searched from the place's
  country), pasted search, category (vehicles and rentals included) and item links, filters (price, days listed, delivery,
  condition, vehicle year and mileage), a title match flag and filter, details on request, a memory for new listings only,
  free coverage, status and summary rows.
- Before launch (after the independent audit and Codex rounds 8 to 14): the Results page event in every run (a page with nothing
  new to the walk free), a search with words stops free where Facebook pads newest first results with unrelated listings, link
  routes kept in a monitor's memory, exit countries for places named by a state of India, Mexico or Brazil, item rows with their
  place, ambiguous places offered with coordinates, a restarted search counted from the run's own records.
