### \[0.1.0] - 2026-07-05

#### Added

- ✨ Initialized the Probate & Foreclosure Leads Scraper, aggregating distressed-property leads from verified US government open-data portals.
- 🗺️ Added five verified real data sources spanning probate, sheriff sale, and tax sale/lien event types across Louisiana, Minnesota, Maryland, and New York.
- 🧮 Added a transparent, fully documented lead priority score (equity + recency), shipped alongside its exact formula in every row so buyers can verify it themselves.
- 📍 Added best-effort property address normalization (street abbreviation expansion) for easier deduplication and mapping.
- 🎯 Added `eventTypes`, `states`, `counties`, `dateFrom`/`dateTo`, `minEstimatedEquity`, and `onlyOwnerOccupied` input filters, with zero required fields and no unrelated feedback-collection fields in the input form.
- 📊 Added three dataset views: lead overview, high-equity leads (sorted by priority score), and by-county (for mapping and geographic scanning).
