## Changelog

- 2026-10-20: Browser fallback now runs in a separate browser service instead
  of a Playwright browser inside the run; Playwright is no longer installed.
  A run makes at most 8 fallback calls, failed calls included, and at most
  110 seconds of fallback time, within the time left before the run's timeout.
  Browser-service usage is not added to your bill; run-start and company
  charges apply as usual. In 30 paired runs at 512 MB, each reading company
  15982284 with officers, PSCs, filings and charges, the median time from the
  API call to our dataset read fell from 16.7 to 6.7 seconds. The base image is
  pinned by digest and dependency versions are pinned.
