## Changelog

### v1.0.20 — 2026-09-19

- Fixed the automated quality-test failure: Target's `redsky_aggregations` search API moved behind PerimeterX, which returns HTTP 435 and blocks even a real Chrome TLS fingerprint (curl\_cffi) making the request directly.
- Replaced the direct-API client with a Camoufox browser session that loads Target's actual search page and captures the page's own `plp_search_v2` network response — the only way to get initial trust with the anti-bot session for this endpoint.
- Switched the default proxy from Apify's UNBLOCKER group to RESIDENTIAL (US), which PerimeterX consistently trusts for this endpoint; UNBLOCKER remains a fallback.
- Filtered out PerimeterX's own JSON "block" response body so a blocked request can no longer be misread as a legitimate zero-result search.
