### \[0.1] - 2026-09-11

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release: discover, verify, and watch an image across the open web.
- 🔍 Automatic discovery mode finds candidate images and hosting sites from a single source image, no need to already know where to look.
- 🎯 Dual-signal verification scores every candidate two independent ways (visual similarity plus a structural fingerprint check), so a "duplicate" verdict is corroborated, not guessed from one number.
- ➕ Bring-your-own-targets mode lets you score an explicit list of candidate images directly, for when you already know what to compare against.
- 🛰️ Incremental monitor mode remembers what it saw last time and reports only genuinely new hosting sites on later scheduled runs, real ongoing image-theft and unauthorized-use monitoring.
- 📊 Three dataset views: a discovery overview, a similarity-scores breakdown, and a monitor-changes feed.
- 🌍 Flexible source image input: paste a direct image URL or upload an image file directly.
