## Changelog

### 0.1.199 — 2026-08-26

- Fixed: a run given a short time limit is no longer stopped the instant it starts. The
  safety margin the run reserves for shutting down cleanly was a fixed amount, so a run
  allowed 60 seconds or less spent its entire budget on that margin and ended immediately
  with no results. The margin now scales with the time available and never takes more than
  half of it.
- Fixed: running out of the time you allotted is now reported as a completed run rather
  than a failure, with a message saying to raise the time limit or narrow the search. Only
  a genuine stall is still reported as a failure.

### 0.1.x — 2026-04-14

- Added: `descriptionHtml`, `descriptionMarkdown` output fields (triple-format descriptions for RAG/LLM pipelines)
- Added: `contentHash` output field (SHA-256 hash of content-identifying fields)

### 0.1.x — 2026-04-14

- Added: cross-run repost detection (`isRepost`, `repostOfId`, `repostDetectedAt`)
- Added: `skipReposts` input to exclude detected reposts from output
