## Changelog

### 0.1 (2026-10-21)

- Texts only: the free `invalid` row of a refused input now says only the run's start fee was charged (it said the input
  was not charged). The error row hint of a crashed run says the run's start fee and any transcript, transcript-minute,
  translation-minute, text-frame, ad-details or media-file events charged before the error stay charged, and that nothing
  more is charged. The restart, ledger, memory and free latch logs and the restart reason in the summary speak of the run's
  rows being delivered free, not of a free run. The invalid input status messages say only the run's start fee was
  charged; the refused dataset write message names the start fee and the events charged before it; the start up read back
  stop says nothing more is charged; the memory_free row, the memory log, the image ad row of a run delivering free and the
  README speak of the rows delivered from then on.

### 0.1 (2026-10-13)

- First build: Meta Ad Library video ads to text with a speech model inside the Actor (Whisper base, int8, voice activity
  filter), from search terms, advertisers (names, page ids, page links), ad links and ids, Ad Library search links, Meta video
  file URLs, the dataset of an Ad Library run and pasted rows.
- Rows: the transcript, timed segments, words with times, the opening line (hook), language, confidence, SRT and WebVTT
  subtitles, with the ad's facts; free status rows for every video not transcribed, one coverage row per search, a run summary.
- Add-ons: English translation per minute, on-screen text of silent videos or of every video, image ad text, scene cuts, the
  Ad Library's detail record, the audio or video file in the run's storage.
- Memory under a name: new ads only, the creatives already delivered are free rows, the "no longer shown" report per search.
- Default memory 1 GB; the text reader runs one thread without spinning.
