## Changelog

### 0.3 - 2026-07-19

- Input validation now completes before the run-start charge, so invalid or empty monitoring requests are rejected without a start fee.

### 0.2 - 2026-07-13

- Improved reliability when Reddit temporarily blocks or rate-limits a source.
- Added independent source handling so successful subreddits and searches can still return results when another source fails.
- Added deeper collection limits and fair result allocation across multiple sources.
- Added required and excluded text matching, publication-date filters, post-age limits, spoiler and stickied-post controls.
- Added optional cross-run post tracking and initial-baseline mode for scheduled monitors.
- Added fetch-transport, metadata-completeness, missing-field, text-match, crosspost, edit, removal, and outbound-host fields.
- Added a machine-readable run summary with source outcomes, filters, skipped-record reasons, state totals, and saved counts.
- Fixed individual Reddit post URLs that could previously finish without saving the requested post.

### 0.1 - 2026-07-09

- Initial Reddit post monitoring release with subreddit, search query, and public Reddit URL inputs.
- Added structured post metadata, engagement, links, media indicators, safety flags, source details, and fetch timestamps.
