## Changelog

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

- Rebuilt the active Cheerio/GOOGLE_SERP path and removed unused Playwright browser, stealth, parallel-tab, parser, URL-builder, and constants modules.
- Added strict query/locale/limit validation and aligned the true maximum with five bounded result pages (50 items).
- Accepts only canonical recognized short-form URL patterns and rejects regular videos, deceptive hostnames, null-filled records, and duplicates.
- Added consistent dataset semantics, run summaries/diagnostics, complete schemas, tests, strict validation, QA inputs, and cloud-source ignore rules.
- Changed Docker to the browser-free Node image with deterministic `npm ci` and zero automatic request retries.
- Replaced the umbrella Crawlee dependency with the focused Cheerio crawler package to remove unused browser modules.
