## 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.
- Declared 15 dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder.
- Declared 15 nullable dataset fields from typed live cloud samples so the output contract is no longer an empty placeholder or brittle to sparse modes.

### 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

- Running with empty input `{}` now returns data: falls back to a small default set of well-known companies (MKBHD, Apple, Stripe, Canva, Shopify) instead of erroring with "No people provided".
- No mandatory input — nothing must be filled in to get a result.

### 1.0 — 2026-07-07

- Initial release.
- Finds the most likely work email from a name + company domain.
- Ranks 12 common corporate patterns (first.last, first, flast, firstlast, …) by real-world frequency.
- Validates each domain over DNS (MX / A records) using clean public resolvers.
- Flags free providers (gmail/outlook — no pattern) and invalid/unreachable domains.
- Bulk input via list or paste; accepts "Full Name, domain" strings or objects.
- Pure DNS: no API key, no rate limits, no IP bans, deterministic results.
