## 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.
- Run reliability reviewed: 100.0% of public runs succeeded in the last 30 days.
- Input schema, output schema and pricing configuration reviewed.

### 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.
- Corrected the README image-array contract from the nonexistent `photos` key to the live, schema-backed `images` field.
- Added explicit nullable types for all 29 dataset fields; the previous schema named columns but supplied no type contract.

### 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

- **Runs with zero input** — leaving everything blank now returns recent listings for a default metro (Houston, TX) instead of erroring. No field is required anymore.
- **New Metro quick-pick** — choose a popular US metro from a dropdown instead of typing a Location (Location free-text still works for any city/ZIP/county/neighborhood).
- **New Property type filter** — dropdown to narrow to Single family, Condos, Townhomes, Multi-family, Mobile, Farm or Land (default: Any).
- **Sturdier proxy handling** — each request retry now rotates to a fresh US residential IP, with a direct-connection fallback on the final attempt, so a single blocked IP no longer sinks a page.
- **Graceful** — the search loop is wrapped so unexpected errors log and exit cleanly with whatever was collected instead of failing the run.
- **Schema polish** — added per-field titles/descriptions to the dataset schema (nullable-safe); numeric columns (price, beds, baths, sqft, coords) already render as numbers. Output field keys unchanged.

### 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.
