## Changelog

### v1.0 — 2026-09-01

First release.

- Channel Shorts scraping — no YouTube Data API key or quota required.
- Accepts usernames, `@handles`, or full channel/Shorts URLs, with bulk input.
- Full channel enrichment on every row — subscribers, totals, About panel, links, verified badge.
- Sort by Newest / Popular / Oldest, with an absolute or relative date filter.
- Automatic network fallback: direct → datacenter proxy → residential proxy (3 retries, sticky) → browser rescue.
- Six live dataset views: Overview, Channel & About, Engagement, Media, Source, Errors.
- Clear error items for channels that don't exist or have no Shorts, instead of silently skipping them.
- Run summary stored in the key-value store with per-run totals.
