## Changelog

### 2.0.0

- Replaced arbitrary start URLs and generic page scraping with a search-driven source-place, category, and nearby-place workflow.
- Added strict normalized output, source/relation evidence, stable Maps identities, bounded detail concurrency, clean no-results handling, proxy controls, tests, dataset validation, and safe summaries.
- Removed the permissive raw `data` object and the misleading “People also search for” label from ordinary search results.
