## Changelog

### 0.1.2

- Searches now recover from temporary source failures that previously ended a run early with no results.
- Concurrent runs sharing one incremental state key are now settled exclusively, so the same records cannot be delivered twice.
- Updated the runtime library that could leave a run stalled after a storage error.

### 0.1.1

- Restored reliable Scholar access by removing a stale request-header profile.
- Added a free discovery fallback for cloud-egress challenges while preserving real Scholar profile IDs and names.
- Added a hard deadline for response-body reads so stalled responses fail promptly.

### 0.1.0

- Initial release: scrape Google Scholar author profiles discovered from a research-topic search.
- Extracts identity (name, affiliation, verified-email domain, profile image), citation metrics (total citations, h-index, i10-index, per-window "since" metrics), per-year citation history, research interests, full publication lists and co-authors.
- Incremental mode with KV-backed state and NEW / UPDATED / UNCHANGED / EXPIRED change classification.
- Compact output and exclude-empty-fields modes for AI-agent / MCP pipelines.
- Optional notifications (Telegram, Discord, Slack, WhatsApp, generic webhook) and connected-app (MCP) export.
