## Changelog

### 2026-10-15

- A run that reaches its maximum cost per run now stops cleanly with its results saved and a status message, instead of ending as aborted.
- A proxy group your account cannot use no longer stops the run at start-up; it falls back to the default Apify Proxy.
- Memory is managed within the run's own limit, which removes a rare out-of-memory crash on large pages.
- The prefilled example for `maxResults` is now 333 (was 200).
- The default used when the field is left out for `maxResults` is now 6,666 (was 1,000).

### 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: 40 columns returned, 92.1% of cells populated.
- Run reliability reviewed: 100.0% 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 (`conditionProfile`); 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.

### 2026-08-04

- Launched the CMS Medicare provider payment and utilization exporter.
- Added high-volume pagination, multi-segment filters, NPI deduplication and normalized financial fields.
- Verified empty-input, specialty/state-filtered and bulk result behavior against the live CMS dataset.
