## Changelog

### Unreleased

- Defaulted new runs to Apify's standard proxy with a bounded direct fallback for route-specific blocks and unusable page responses.
- Delayed the one-time start charge until Trip.com returns a valid review snapshot or confirmed empty result, so upstream access and shape failures are not billed as successful starts.
- Updated vulnerable transitive dependencies and regenerated the corrupt Store icon from the verified Trip.com favicon mark.
- Fixed saved-row and charge counts when a run reaches its customer-set maximum charge; unsaved work is now checkpointed for resume.
- Fixed valid hotel pages being rejected when they contained inactive security configuration or unusual backslashes alongside real review data.
- Added explicit review-availability, extracted-row, more-results, and warning fields so bounded public-page snapshots cannot be mistaken for complete history.
- Added helpful-vote, rating-scale, reviewer-contribution, and public video URL fields when Trip.com provides them.
- Added strict validation before charging, per-hotel failure isolation, bounded retries, deadline-aware checkpoints, resumable pending work, and a detailed run summary.
- Corrected missing-input behavior so a run never substitutes an unrelated sample hotel.
- Clarified that sorting applies to the public page snapshot and that commercial use requires the necessary permission.

### 2026-07-15

- Grouped input fields for easier run setup.

### Initial release

- Added public Trip.com/Ctrip hotel review snapshot export.
