## Changelog

### 1.0.1 (2026-10-30)

Compliance changes after the source terms audit.

- README: notes on individual applicants, on the Journal site terms pages that could not be read, and on non-affiliation; disclaimer text extended ("data from the public Journal; verify with the original").
- The shared Journal cache remains inactive (no cache store configured) and must not be enabled before the Journal site terms have been read.

### 1.0 (first release)

- Watch mode: compares a watch-list of word marks with every text mark of the newest Indian Trade Marks Journal (and, on request, up to 17 earlier Journals) using rule-based visual, phonetic (Indian spelling folding, Double Metaphone, Soundex), token and containment scores, with Strict / Balanced / Broad sensitivity and same / related / all class scope.
- Opposition deadline (Journal date plus four months) and days left on every match, calculated in Indian Standard Time.
- Export mode: every entry of a Journal (or of selected classes) as structured rows.
- Reads both PDF layouts: the one-form-per-page layout used by the 2026 Journals and the flowing-entry layout.
- Shared parsed-Journal cache (publisher side indexer) with direct PDF parsing as the fallback.
- Pay-per-event billing: `watch-check`, `mark-watched`, `match-found`, `journal-entry-exported`; free-plan caps; spending-limit handling that delivers the rest on the next run.
- Run summary row, `OUTPUT` JSON, `REPORT` HTML, optional webhook and Slack notification.
