## Changelog

### 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.

### 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

- **Empty input returns data** — running with `{}` (or search mode with no query) now returns the global Deezer chart instead of exiting empty. Detail modes (`artistDetail`, `albumTracks`) with no IDs also fall back to the chart.
- **Numbers as numbers** — `duration`, `rank`, and `position` are now emitted as real numbers instead of strings.
- **Booleans as booleans** — `explicit_lyrics` is now a real boolean (was a string).
- **Proxy** — uses automatic Apify Proxy, with a **direct-connection fallback on the final retry** (Deezer is a public API). Also detects Deezer's `200 + { error }` quota responses and retries them.
- **Graceful runs** — added a ~4-minute time budget to all paginations (pushes what was collected, exits success); fixed a concurrency bug in `artistDetail`.
- **Friendlier input** — `mode` and `searchType` dropdowns now show human-readable labels.
- **Schemas** — added a `fields` JSON-schema (title + description + type per field) to the dataset schema; `explicit_lyrics` display format is now boolean.
