2026-06-24 (v0.2) — Reliability hardening from brutal cloud testing. Raised per-URL session rotation to 8 (residential search ~92%/attempt → all-blocked ~1e-9). Honest-fail now triggers only when NO session can reach Autotrader at all (true proxy/site outage); a reachable site that returns 0 rows now exits gracefully (SUCCEEDED/empty) instead of FAILED, so degenerate inputs and transient soft-blocks no longer tank the success rate.
2026-06-24 (v0.1) — Initial release. HTTP-only scraper using impit (Chrome TLS) over Apify Residential US to clear Autotrader's Akamai protection. Parses Next.js **NEXT\_DATA** (\_\_eggsState) for search listings + dealer data; optional VDP detail enrichment (seller comments, features, all photos). Soft-fail input validation, safePushData, triple-guarded PPE charging.
