## Changelog

### 1.1.0 - 2026-09-12

- Mapped 29 more columns the search API was already returning: LEXIS, neutral
  and Supreme Court Database citations, syllabus, procedural posture, opinion
  count and types, per curiam, cited-opinion count, the referred-to judge and
  the bankruptcy trustee.
- Flattened the two nested lists the response carries. The `opinions` list now
  yields opinion PDF links on both the court's site and CourtListener; the
  `recap_documents` list yields the matched docket filings - entry numbers,
  docket text, the newest entry's date, number and page count, and a free
  direct link to its PDF in RECAP.
- Added `text_snippet`: the opening of the actual opinion or filing text.
- Added the court lookup behind `include_court_details` (on by default, cached
  per court) for jurisdiction level, court homepage and PACER court ID.
- Fixed `bankruptcy_chapter`. CourtListener returns the chapter as text, which
  the declared integer type rejected on write, ending any run that reached a
  bankruptcy docket. It is coerced now, and bankruptcy courts are back in
  scope.

### 1.0.0 - 2026-09-11

- Added canonical Store metadata and a bounded default run.
- Added semantic output field metadata and Actor-level output schema.
- Store copy written for human buyers, search discovery, and MCP agents.
