## Changelog

### v1.1 — 2026-09-13

- Fixed: sponsored/ad directory slots with no profile data are skipped instead of producing near-empty rows
- Fixed: `url` now falls back to the fetched page's own URL when a profile page doesn't carry a canonical link
- Fixed: Incremental mode no longer reports a run as failed when every pro was legitimately unchanged
- Fixed: a pro reappearing after being marked EXPIRED is now classified REAPPEARED even if its content didn't change while it was gone
- Improved: social links, awards (now dated, e.g. "Best of Houzz 2026"), and cover image use the richer data available on a pro's own profile page when fetched
