## Changelog

### 0.2 — state sweep: added CT

- Added Connecticut (CT) — Home Improvement Contractor licenses from data.ct.gov (dataset 5r9m-qgni).
  Single credential type (HIC), single license-number column (credentialnumber), single name column
  (businessname); clean drop-in with no profession filter or name concat required.
- State sweep audit log: CO/IL/NYC/MD/UT probed and excluded (see docs/superpowers/specs/2026-06-22-socrata-state-sweep-notes.md).

### 0.1 — initial build

- Verify/search contractor & trade licenses across states on Socrata open-data APIs (v1: WA, OR, TX).
- One generic Socrata client + per-state config; adding a state is config-only.
- PPE: charge per verified license; never charge empty results.
