## 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: 24 columns returned, 80.3% of cells populated.
- Run reliability reviewed: 92.9% 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 (`keyword`); 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.

### 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.

### 2026-07-13

- Added company enrichment straight from Hirist's own feed: `companyRating` and `companyReviewsCount` (AmbitionBox employer ratings, present on ~70% of jobs) and `companyLogo` (present on nearly every job).
- Added a `salaryHidden` boolean so hidden compensation is explicit rather than indistinguishable from missing data (most Hirist recruiters hide salary; `salaryMin`/`salaryMax` fill whenever it is disclosed).
- Removed `companyType` and `recruiterName`: Hirist's job feed does not expose these, so they were always null. Every advertised field is now always real — 21 fields total.

### 2026-07-12

- **All filters are now optional.** Removed the mandatory `keywords` requirement — running with empty input `{}` now browses the most recent IT jobs across every keyword (via Hirist's blank-query feed) instead of erroring.
- Added a browse-all fallback: if supplied keywords fail to resolve, the run collects recent jobs rather than exiting with zero results.
- **City filter is now a dropdown** (select) with the common Hirist cities, while still accepting custom values.
- Numeric fields (`salaryMin`, `salaryMax`, `experienceMin`, `experienceMax`) are now coerced to real numbers (never numeric-as-string).
- Added a ~4-minute time budget so long paginations stop gracefully, push what was collected, and exit successfully.
- Proxy default switched to Apify Proxy (automatic); RESIDENTIAL can be enabled for high-volume runs.
- Added a `fields` JSON-schema (title + description per column, nullable-safe union types) to the dataset schema.

### 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.
