#### Added

- Initial production release of the Google Images Scraper.
- `CheerioCrawler`-based architecture using GOOGLE\_SERP proxy group with `udm=2` (Google Images mode).
- Modular project structure following the Brave Apify actor pattern:
  - `src/main.js` — entry point with input validation, proxy setup, and crawler init.
  - `src/routes.js` — Crawlee router factory.
  - `src/routes/handlers.js` — page handler with JSON blob extraction for image data.
  - `src/extractors/images.js` — extracts imageUrl, title, sourceUrl, thumbnail via regex on response body.
  - `src/filters/index.js` — URL-based deduplication.
  - `src/schema/input.js` — input validation (query, maxItems, imageSize, imageType, gl, hl).
  - `src/utils/index.js` — `buildImagesUrl` and shared helpers.
  - `src/errors/` — `ScraperError`, `ErrorTypes`, `ErrorHandler`.
- `.actor/actor.json`, `input_schema.json`, `dataset_schema.json` for Apify platform compatibility.
- `validate-datasets.js` for local dataset output validation.
- `Dockerfile` for Apify platform deployment.
- `README.md` with full Apify usage guide.

#### Fixed

- Image results are now correctly pushed to `Actor.pushData()` (previously extracted but never stored).
