## Changelog

### 3.0.0

- Aligned the local and Docker browser on Playwright Chromium 1.61.1 with exact Apify/Crawlee versions and a reproducible lockfile.
- Added stable query-aware IDs, canonical URL aliases, top-level query/locale/timestamp context, recursive empty omission, and required dataset fields.
- Removed fabricated negative ad/sponsored flags; those fields appear only when Yahoo labels a result.
- Added single and batch query modes, fair per-query quotas, `maxPages`, concurrency/retry/timeout controls, consistent fingerprints, sessions, optional country-aligned Residential proxy support, and clean no-result/selector-drift handling.
- Added four passing tests, linting, QA inputs, production dependency overrides, and bounded resource loading.
