## Changelog

### 1.0 (2026-09-15)

First release.

- Google News RSS search, topic, section, place, publisher and top headline feeds in any country edition.
- Google search operators pass through: after, before, when, site, source, quoted phrases and exclusions.
- Pasted news.google.com URLs of any supported feed type are parsed into fields.
- Deep search splits a date range into one feed request per day, plus rolling hour windows for the open day,
  so a query can return far more than Google's 100 item limit. Truncated windows are counted in the summary.
- Publisher URL decoding through the article page signature plus a batched batchexecute call.
- Optional publisher article body with word count and an honest paywall flag.
- Named cross run dedup memory: known articles are free, optionally re-emitted with isNew false.
- Per query and per run caps with fair share allocation, publisher include and exclude lists, word filters.
- Run summary row with per query counters (found, delivered, deduped, known skipped, shards, capped shards,
  feed errors, decode ok and failed, body ok and failed).
