## Changelog

### \[1.2.0] - 2026-09-24

- Expanded route records with source-visible toll and traffic advisories, route alternatives, available travel modes, canonical endpoint names/IDs/coordinates, and optional step instructions.
- Aligned parser, normalizer, recursive business-field sanitizer, input and dataset schemas, tests, and marketplace documentation.
- Removed runtime fixture/debug input paths and stopped treating diagnostics as dataset items; run health remains in key-value storage.
- Switched route extraction to a pinned Apify Playwright-Chrome runtime so the parser reads rendered public directions content, with no proxy, login, CAPTCHA solving, or access-control bypass.

### \[1.1.0] - 2026-09-17

- Replaced the single-purpose HTML parser with a bounded public route-matrix workflow.
- Added ordinary Puppeteer extraction for rendered directions pages and a bounded public HTML fallback.
- Added strict public route contracts, exact diagnostics, fixture coverage, schema checks, and local verification.
- Removed instrumentation records and unsupported access-control or evasion behavior.
