## Changelog

### 0.1.2 — 2026-10-11 — the shared core of the family, a restart's count

- A run the platform restarts now counts the post rows it wrote before the restart (the last word said fewer than were delivered).
- The post row of a video post carries the video's duration and live status as the family's other Actors read them (the shared core was updated with the Page Videos, Events and Reviews Actors; comment rows are unchanged).
- The platform runs measured before publication are listed in the README.

### 0.1.1 — 2026-10-11 — videos and reels

- Video and reel addresses (`…/videos/<id>/`, `/reel/<id>/`, `/watch/?v=<id>` — what the Facebook Page Posts Scraper gives for such posts; 28 of NASA's last 100 posts) bring their comments. Their pages carry no post record, only the video's: the Actor now reads the post from the video's page (text from the page's description, time, plays and views, duration, thumbnail, reactions by kind, comment count) and pages the comments as for any post. Measured: 24 comments + 2 post rows from one video and one reel. A reel's own page is thin for a visitor who is not signed in; a reel line is opened through `/watch/?v=`, which lands on the Page's video permalink.
- A video's page served without its data (one open in four, measured) is opened again, up to three times, before the line is given up.
- The `isEdited` column is gone: Facebook does not give it to a visitor who is not signed in (it was `null` on every row).

### 0.1.0 — 2026-10-11 — first release

- Comments of public Facebook posts as a visitor who is not signed in sees them: the post's own page (the post, its counts, the first ten "most relevant" comments) and the site's own comments query, ten a call, in the order asked for (most relevant, newest first, all).
- Every comment row: author (name, id, address, verification, picture — or a code that is the same for the same person, with `hideAuthors`), text with the accounts it tags, exact time, depth, reply count, reactions in total and by kind, attachments (stickers, GIFs, photos), the post's id and address.
- The post itself as a row of its own (`includePost`): text, time, kind, media, reactions by kind, comment and share counts.
- Lines that bring nothing get a free status row that says why (not a post address, no such post, shown to signed-in users only, no comments, commenting turned off, the same post as another line); the reactions filter leaves comments out without charging them.
- "Only new comments" lists for recurring runs; a run the platform starts again continues from the rows it already wrote; the spending limit is kept exactly.
- Standby mode prepared (`GET /comments?post=…`); published in batch mode.
