## Changelog

### v0.2 - March 2026

#### Added

- **Automatic OOM retry**: If the Universal Downloader runs out of memory (exit code 137), the scraper automatically retries with the next memory tier — no user intervention needed
- **`returnVideoUrl` input**: New option to return the signed Loom CDN URL directly in output without calling the Universal Downloader — perfect for users who want to handle downloads in their own pipeline
- **`getCdnUrl()` function**: New exported function that fetches only the CDN URL without triggering a download
- **`cdn_url` in output**: When `returnVideoUrl` or `downloadVideo` is enabled, `video.download.cdn_url` contains the direct Loom CDN MP4 link
- **Tier-aware memory allocation**: Auto-detects Apify plan (Free/Paid) and caps download actor memory to plan limits (Free: 4GB max, Paid: 16GB max)
- **Upgrade prompts**: Free-plan users who hit memory limits see a direct link to upgrade their Apify plan

#### Improved

- `calculateResources()` now respects Apify platform memory tier limits
- Download actor failure handling distinguishes OOM vs timeout vs other failures with specific guidance
- `downloadAndStoreVideo()` now returns `cdnUrl` alongside download results for all flows

#### Removed

- `downloadMemoryMbytes` input — replaced by automatic OOM retry logic

#### Fixed

- Fixed silent N/A download URLs caused by undetected OOM failures
- Fixed hardcoded 8192MB fallback that could exceed Free plan limits

- Separated user and owner authentication for cleaner session management

#### Added
