## Changelog

### \[1.1.0] - 2026-08-31

- Replaced Firefox automation with native HTTPS and Cheerio parsing of DuckDuckGo Lite.
- Added multiple queries, hard per-query/page/aggregate caps, true POST pagination, stable IDs, rich request provenance, and null-free output.
- Added direct-first optional proxy handling, block detection, bounded retries, schemas, fixtures, tests, validation, reproducible installs, and latest-build tagging.
- Removed swallowed crawl errors so blocked and zero-record runs fail correctly.
- Added deliberate inter-query pacing after bounded live validation showed DuckDuckGo challenging immediate back-to-back searches.
