## Changelog

### 3.0.0 - 2026-08-29

- Corrected the product contract: Startpage has no native Shopping vertical, so output is now documented as shopping-intent web discovery.
- Removed fabricated promises for ratings, reviews, images, availability, discounts, shipping, and other unavailable fields.
- Added multi-query mode, fair selection, stable IDs, canonical deduplication, filters, sorting, pagination controls, and optional snippet-price enforcement.
- Added structured-data extraction with DOM fallback, status/content-type validation, sessions, fingerprints, challenge detection, and safe logging.
- Bad or incomplete proxy sessions are retired before bounded retries; the render wait covers Startpage's observed delayed result hydration.
- Replaced Firefox with matching Chromium/Chrome dependencies and container image.
- Added truthful Actor input, output, and dataset schemas plus unit and execution fixtures.

### 2.0.0 - 2026-06-12

- Historical release that labeled generic Startpage web results as a Shopping feed. Superseded by 3.0.0.
