## Changelog

- Public release: YouTube Search Scraper for keyword-based discovery of videos and Shorts with URLs, IDs, metadata, and public metrics.
- Fixed balanced search distribution so one productive page cannot consume the
  shared global cap before later query slots get a turn. Balanced mode now
  fair-shares rows across active queries and buffers unoffered rows for later
  rounds.
- Validated build 1.0.30 on the 10-query Chronometrica transcript-discovery
  panel: 120 rows, 10/10 queries represented, 12 rows per root query, zero
  `not_started` searches.
- Added low-cost transcript-discovery controls: callers can now disable terminal
  video metrics and lightweight channel/detail enrichment when they only need
  discovered YouTube URLs or video IDs.
