## Changelog

### 0.1 - 2026-06-13 - Initial build

- Pinterest Trends & Content Intel: trend + content intelligence from logged-out public Pinterest surfaces, with no Pinterest API app review.
- Four modes: `trend_search` (keywords -> trend records: interest trajectory + seasonality + growth windows + related terms + category, plus the top pins behind each term), `topic_content` (queries -> ranked top pins + a per-topic rollup of top creators, category mix, and dominant-color palette), `pin_detail` (pin URLs/ids -> deep normalized pin records), `profile_analysis` (usernames -> creator/board audience signals: followers, board/pin counts, monthly views, top boards).
- Surfaces: the anonymous `BaseSearchResource` JSON API (with a `__PWS_DATA__` HTML fallback) for search; pin/profile page `__PWS_DATA__` blobs for detail; and a best-effort `trends.pinterest.com` time series. The Pinterest Trends trajectory is delivered when that surface is reachable; otherwise the trend record falls back to a transparent search-derived interest proxy (`trajectory_source` says which) - no claimed trajectory is ever fabricated.
- Anti-bot escalation ladder: httpx (datacenter) -> curl\_cffi Chrome TLS impersonation (residential) -> patchright/playwright stealth browser (residential) -> fail-soft, with per-tier telemetry in the `access_notes` record. `browser_cdp_url` / `BROWSER_CDP_URL` connects a warm anti-detect browser for stubborn challenges.
- Portfolio conventions: PPE base (pin\_record $0.004) + enrichment events (trend\_enrichment $0.008, board\_audience\_signal $0.010) + scheduled\_delta\_run $0.030; demo-mode soft-fail (no failure scar on QA sweeps); `_RunBudget` 5-layer cost defense; monitor mode (scheduled-run change digest of new/rising terms + save deltas); normalized trend/pin/creator schema; next-actions + output-formatters hooks.
- Legal-safety (gated-data playbook, Section B): logged-out public pages only, no login, no accounts, no paywalls; PII minimized (creator usernames + aggregate follower counts are public profile facts, no private contact data); polite rate limits; fail-soft when blocked. Responsible-use note emitted in every run.
- Ships with an `mcp-pinterest-trends-intel` MCP-server twin (x402 / Skyfire ready).
