## Changelog

### 0.2 - 2026-10-08

#### 🛠️ Fixed

- Monitoring state names with capital letters, underscores, or more than 51 characters no longer stop the run. Existing state names that already worked keep their saved history.
- Temporary feed hiccups and block pages are retried before a run is reported as failed.
- If a scan stops partway, the vacancies already collected are returned and no vacancies are marked closed on that run.
- A run that suddenly finds no vacancies for a scope with tracked vacancies no longer counts toward closing them.
- Unusable inputs (for example a rows-per-page value outside 1 to 100) now finish with a clear message instead of a failed run, and saved monitoring state is left untouched.
- Each run now ends with a short status message describing what was saved.

### 0.1.0 - 2026-08-02

#### 🚀 Added

- Official NHS Jobs XML feed collection for external public vacancies.
- Bounded keywords, employer codes, source filters, pagination, and deduplication.
- Compact, full, changes-only, and all-with-status output modes.
- Actor-local monitoring with completeness-safe vacancy closures.
- Complete Apify input, dataset, output, storage, and standby schemas.

#### 🛡️ Permission gate

- Internal adverts, candidate workflows, and contact extraction are excluded.
- Public Store deployment remains blocked pending NHSBSA commercial redistribution confirmation.
