## Changelog

### 1.0 — 2026-09-21

First release.

- Places in any form: Google Maps URLs, `maps.app.goo.gl` / `share.google` short links, place ids, CIDs, feature ids, Maps search URLs, or a plain "name, city" — resolved by the actor, a pasted spreadsheet column accepted as it is.
- One flat row per review with exact `published_at` / `updated_at` timestamps, the owner's reply and its date, likes, photos, the reviewer, sub-ratings and visit details.
- A true date range (`fromDate` / `toDate`); the newest-first walk stops at `fromDate`.
- New-only monitoring (`onlyNew`, `monitorKey`, `includeEdited`): each review is delivered once, and a run that finds nothing new charges $0.
- Free filters applied before billing: `onlyWithText`, `minStars` / `maxStars`, `keywords` / `excludeKeywords`, `reviewLanguages`, `hasOwnerReply`, `hasPhotos`.
- A free `place` row per place with the listed total, the histogram, a completeness verdict and a 90-day rating trend; a free `status` row per input line.
- Completeness check on every place, with a second pass in another sort order when a full walk is more than 2% short; zero duplicates; an empty page is never read as the end of the reviews.
- Charged events always equal delivered review rows; the spending limit is honoured mid-place; unknown places and places without reviews are free.
- Accepts the input of compass/google-maps-reviews-scraper (`startUrls`, `placeIds`, `maxReviews`, `reviewsSort`, `reviewsStartDate`, `language`).
