## Changelog

All notable changes to this project will be documented in this file.

### \[0.2] - 2026-09-13

#### Added

- 🔍 Search Keyword: find parts by description, family, or model text, instead of only looking up parts you already have the exact code or link for.
- 🏷️ Brand Names filter: narrow results down to specific manufacturers (ST, TI, NXP, Infineon, Microchip, Espressif, and 30+ more, or type any brand name).
- 🗂️ Category Names filter: narrow results down to real LCSC categories (Integrated Circuits, Microcontrollers, Capacitors, Connectors, and more), so you can browse a whole category at once.
- ✅ RoHS Certified Only and In Stock Only toggles, so discovery searches can be narrowed to compliance-ready, currently-stocked parts in one click.
- 📜 Every part now reports its real RoHS compliance status, certification type, and direct links to the actual certificate PDFs, unmasked data this Actor could not previously access.

#### Changed

- ⚡ Upgraded the underlying lookup engine to LCSC's own live product search, so existing BOM Items lookups now resolve faster and more reliably, with the same accurate price-break math as before (unit price at your real quantity, next volume break, computed savings).
- 🔗 Parts found through Search Keyword, Brand Names, or Category Names flow into the same Parts, Price Ladder, and BOM Summary views as your BOM, each priced at its own real minimum order quantity by default.
- 📈 Max Parts Per Run now caps your BOM lines and any newly discovered parts together, so a single run limit governs your whole result set.

### \[0.1] - 2026-09-13

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release of LCSC Scraper: BOM Pricing, Stock & Price-Break Alerts.
- ✨ Upload a bill of materials (part code or product link, plus the quantity you actually need per line) and get back the real unit price you'd pay at that quantity, not just a generic listing price.
- ✨ Price-break optimization: for every part, see the next volume price tier and exactly how much you'd save in total by rounding your order up to it, computed automatically from the full price ladder.
- ✨ Live stock levels with a domestic/overseas warehouse split, plus minimum order quantity and packing quantity where available, so you know instantly whether a part is actually ready to order.
- ✨ Full technical specifications and a direct datasheet link for every part.
- ➕ Price Ladder view: every quantity price tier for every part in your BOM laid out in one flat, spreadsheet-friendly table, so you can plan volume discounts across your whole order at a glance.
- ➕ BOM Summary view: one row per run with total cost, in-stock vs. needs-attention part counts, and total potential savings if every line were rounded up to its next price break.
- ⚙️ Monitor mode: track a BOM over time and get alerted only when a part's price actually drops or rises, or its stock depletes or gets replenished, with independently named tracking states for running multiple trackers side by side.
- 🔒 No login, account, or API key required, every run works out of the box.
