- 2026-07-24 - Feature: Export more comments from large Reddit discussions while respecting configured limits.

- 2026-07-24 - Change: Improved Reddit comment collection fallback for public thread URLs.

### 0.3

- Bound post-output summary, optional MCP delivery, and shutdown finalization so a stalled final storage call cannot leave a completed scrape running indefinitely.

- Skip optional comment retry batches when their worst-case retry budget would consume the finalization reserve.

- Invalid and unsupported URLs now fail before billing instead of ending as successful empty runs.

- Empty or unavailable searches no longer return unrelated subreddit records, and unavailable post URLs no longer produce placeholder rows.

- Explicit URL sort and time settings now take precedence, including top feeds and search URLs.

- Comment collection now respects `includeComments`, avoids duplicate thread requests, and records the correct post/comment event when each row is saved.

- Added author links, external links and domains, self-post status, published timestamps, source context, metadata-limit flags, warnings, and complete run diagnostics.

- Improved resilience for temporary blocks, rate limits, proxy errors, long retry delays, and comment-heavy runs without hiding partial outcomes. Intermittent 403 responses now receive four bounded route retries by default.

- Added individual Reddit short-link support and five regression tests.

- 2026-07-10 - Pricing: Added a separate scheduled pricing event for Reddit comment records while keeping post records on the existing item price.

### 0.2

- Improved examples, documentation, and reliability.

### 0.1

- Initial version with configurable inputs and structured results.
