### 1.0.0 - 2026-10-16

First public release.

- Comments and replies of public YouTube videos through the endpoint youtube.com itself uses, with no login and no API key; Top or Newest order, optional replies.
- Privacy-safe rows: no commenter names, handles, channel ids, avatars or profile links; @mentions in the text are masked.
- Videos with comments turned off return one free `not_found` row instead of failing the run.
- Every row carries `status`, so a missing record (`not_found`) and a failure (`error`) are told apart from real data. Only `ok` rows are charged.
- Records are validated against a schema before they are written, so an upstream change produces loud warnings instead of silently billing for empty rows.
- Callable with no arguments by an AI agent, which the input schema's defaults make safe.
