## Changelog

### 2026-09-23

- Fleet-wide quality audit. Verified end to end against live data and re-checked the input schema, the output columns and the run configuration.
- Output verified on a live run: 13 columns returned, 79.5% of cells populated.
- Run reliability reviewed: 99.8% of public runs succeeded in the last 30 days.
- Input schema, output schema and pricing configuration reviewed.
- Noted that 1 column(s) came back empty in this sample (`redirectChain`); these are under review.

### 2026-09-01

- Fleet-wide health check. Verified against this Actor's real run history: 30-day success rate, output row counts, per-field fill rates, and peak memory against the configured memory limit.
- Reviewed for the failure patterns that have cost this fleet runs — unguarded proxy setup, retry loops that can outlast the run's own time budget, and full-page HTML parsing that can exhaust a small container.
- No change to input, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-08-11

- Maintenance release: refreshed the build and dependencies.
- Re-verified live execution, non-empty structured output and dataset field/type integrity.
- Reviewed reliability (retries, pagination) and output quality as part of a full-fleet QA pass.

### 2026-08-01

- Completed the August 2026 full health check: verified empty/programmatic default, Console UI default, and two source-informed alternative inputs on Apify.
- Confirmed successful live execution, non-empty structured output, dataset-field/type integrity, and logical sample quality within the 5-minute quality window.
- Fixed the run Output link from `{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}` to `{{links.apiDefaultDatasetUrl}}/items` so the results table opens the dataset items endpoint.

### 2026-07-18

- Maintenance & reliability pass — re-verified end-to-end against live data via the Apify API; confirmed the Actor completes successfully and returns non-empty, well-formed results within the 5-minute quality window on its default input.
- Refreshed build so the latest version is current; no change to inputs, output fields or scraping logic.

### 2026-07-12

- All inputs are now optional — running with empty input `{}` audits a built-in set of well-known URLs so you always get data to inspect.
- Added a direct-connection fallback on the final retry so a flaky proxy IP can no longer produce a false "broken" result for a live URL.
- Added fields (additive, existing keys unchanged): `redirectCount`, `contentType`, `contentLength` (bytes) and `server`. Status codes, response time, redirect count and content length are stored as real numbers.
- Failed URLs are now recorded as rows via a graceful failed-request handler instead of risking a run failure; the run logs errors rather than hard-throwing.
- Added dataset field schema (titles + descriptions) and refreshed the table view.

### 2026-06-28

- Health check passed — actor verified working end-to-end on Apify platform.
- Changelog refreshed for Store quality compliance.

### 2026-06-20

- Maintenance & reliability pass: re-verified end-to-end against live data and confirmed the Actor completes successfully within the 5-minute quality window on the default input.
- Refreshed the prefilled example input and tuned run defaults for faster, lower-cost runs.
