### \[0.1.0] - 2026-09-02

#### Added

- 🚀 Initial release: official US short interest data, straight from FINRA, with no account or API key needed.
- ✨ Full US coverage in one Actor: NYSE, Nasdaq, NYSE Arca and OTC securities, including tickers that Nasdaq-only tools return nothing for.
- ➕ Short interest, previous period, change in shares and percent, average daily volume, and days to cover for every security.
- 📅 Historical settlement periods going back to 2017, far beyond the twelve months most alternatives offer.
- 🎯 A dedicated "knowable date" on every row, showing when the figure actually became public, so backtests are not accidentally built on information nobody had at the time.
- ✅ Low-volume days-to-cover values are flagged rather than passed off as real ratios, so thin securities no longer produce false squeeze signals.
- 🔔 Monitor mode: remembers the last period delivered and stays quiet until a genuinely new one is published, ideal for a scheduled feed with no duplicates.
- 📋 Three dataset views in the Output tab: short interest overview, squeeze signals, and point-in-time history.
- ⚡ Runs in seconds on minimal memory, keeping cost per row far below comparable tools.
