## Changelog

### 0.2.0 (2026-10-24)

- Now "compare your site with sites you choose". Removed the Google search and Google Lens candidate discovery (sentence and topic searches through a search proxy) and the retry of refused sites through a residential proxy. Inputs: `startUrls` (your sites; the old name `websites` still works) and `compareWith` (required). `findSimilar`, `maxCandidates` and `country` are accepted and ignored; `findSimilar: true` is mentioned in the run's status message. A run without `compareWith` ends successfully with a message and no charge.
- Sites that refuse a visit (HTTP 403/429, a bot check) are reported as unreadable and left alone: no retries from another address. robots.txt is still checked for every page.
- Every site you list is returned with its score; monitor mode (`onlyNew`) now applies to them too.
- Title, description and README rewritten to match.

### 0.1.0

- First build: copied-content and copied-design checks, look-alike search, template detection, monitor mode, Internet Archive dates, PDF evidence reports.
