## Changelog

### 1.0.1 — 2026-11-01

- **Verified a fresh 500-creator run:** 500 unique creators (0 duplicates by `campaignId` and vanity handle) across 18 categories and search keywords, completed in ~5 minutes on datacenter proxy.
- **Confirmed field quality:** core identity fields (`name`, `vanity`, `url`, `campaignId`, `currency`, `isMonthly`, `tiers`, `tierCount`) at 100% coverage; prices (`amount`/`amountCents`/`currency`) present on 100% of the 2,294 extracted tier objects; `patronCount` and `paidMemberCount` at ~70% (creator-dependent); `socials` at ~85% across 6 platforms (YouTube, Twitter/X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Twitch); `summary`/`creationName` at ~99%. No value bugs: no `[object Object]`, no scheme-less URLs, no leftover HTML in `summary`, all `amount` values consistent with `amountCents`.
- **Verified `goals` handling:** confirmed against the live campaign API that empty `goals` reflects Patreon's deprecation of public funding goals (source `relationships.goals` is `null`), not a parse gap — the parser is correct.
- **Refreshed the README to the gold standard:** replaced the Output example with a real, richly-populated record (live patron counts + a paid membership tier), updated the field-reference availability note with the verified coverage numbers, documented the de-duplication and pagination benchmark, and added a FAQ entry on empty/optional fields.
- No code changes — the actor is healthy and the output contract is unchanged.
