## Changelog

### 0.1

- 2026-08-24: Initial private build of a Google Maps Routes API v2 directions actor with caller-supplied secret API keys, bounded output, terminal outcome records, and Pay per event pricing.

### 0.2

- 2026-08-24: Prepared a lower $0.00375 source-price candidate for review; it was not accepted as a live pricing change and was superseded before release.

### 0.3

- 2026-08-24: Keep the source, cost-cap messaging, README, and effective live Pay per Event record aligned at $0.005 per route report. The caller's Google Cloud project continues to receive the separate Google Maps platform charge.

### 0.4

- 2026-08-24: Add owner-managed SerpApi Google Maps Directions as the default provider, retaining direct Google Routes BYOK for Place IDs, ordered stops, traffic preferences, and polylines. Route records now declare their actual provider and source. The $0.07 event price is sized for the observed SerpApi Developer-plan request cost and the required 70%+ contribution-margin target.

### 0.5

- 2026-08-24: Clarify provider provenance, secret examples, intermediary-stop guidance, and search metadata after live SerpApi canaries. No runtime or pricing behavior changed.
