## Changelog

### 1.0.5 — 2026-08-01

#### Fixed

- 👀 Results now show up in the **Output** panel of the run — the output definition pointed at row fields instead of the result links.
- 🔗 Google Maps links that carry only an id (`…/maps?cid=…`, `?place_id=…`) and short `maps.app.goo.gl` links now resolve to the right business instead of being skipped, and the exact business from the link is preferred in the results.
- 🌐 Businesses with no website of their own are no longer given one — Google's own helper links were being read as a website, which also made the "only places WITHOUT a website" filter return nothing.
- 🔗 Social profiles no longer pick up share buttons, tracking pixels or page-markup links, and stray trailing characters are trimmed from every link.
- 📧 Emails and social links written in escaped form (`https:\/\/…`) on script-rendered sites are now found too.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-30

First public release.

#### Added

- 📧 Contact-first output — one row per business with `primaryEmail`, `primaryPhone` and every address, number and social profile found.
- 🌐 Website crawling for contacts — homepage plus up to 10 contact/about pages per business.
- ☎️ Three phone sources kept apart — Google's listed number, `tel:` links, and loose text matches.
- 🧹 Contact hygiene — business-emails-only mode, generic-inbox skipping, run-wide deduplication, per-business caps.
- ✅ Only-with-email and only-with-phone modes so every saved row is actionable.
- 🧪 Built-in email verification — free / role / disposable flags, mail-server lookup and a deliverability probe, no external key.
- 🎯 Prospect filters — category keywords, name matching, minimum rating, website presence, closed places, big chains.
- 🏪 Optional `businessDetails` object with the complete Google Maps profile.
- 🚦 Automatic network fallback: direct ➜ datacenter ➜ residential, sticky after the first switch, with a last-resort browser session.
- 📦 Live dataset writes, seven prebuilt table views and a stored run summary.
