## Changelog

### 0.2.0 — 2026-11-01

- **Fixed `lastUpdated` value bug.** The SBA API returns `last_update_date` as a raw Unix epoch (e.g. `1779062400`); the actor now converts it to a readable ISO date (`2026-05-18`), matching the output schema and README.
- **Fixed scheme-less `website` URLs.** ~48% of websites arrived without a scheme (e.g. `www.example.com`); they are now normalized to clickable `https://…` links so the dataset website column works everywhere.
- **Verification run:** scraped **500 unique companies in ~63 seconds** for a broad `construction` search with **0 duplicates**. Core fields at 100% coverage (legalBusinessName, UEI, CAGE, entityId, NAICS, city/state/zip, contactPerson); email ~91%, phone ~90%, website ~56% — all consistent with the full 37,701-record source population.
- **README refreshed to the gold standard** (~2,370 words): corrected the output example and full field reference to match the live data, documented honest per-field coverage, clarified single-call (no server-side pagination) scale behavior, and noted that `legalStructure` is the SBA source code.
- Added this changelog.
