## Changelog

### 0.1 - Initial release

- Six modes: entity\_lookup, artist\_intel, playlist\_intel, chart\_tracker, playlist\_placement, new\_release\_monitor.
- Public surfaces: embed endpoint (`open.spotify.com/embed/{type}/{id}` -> `__NEXT_DATA__` entity JSON), public "Top 50" chart playlists (12 regions), and the rendered entity page for monthly listeners / follower counts (browser tier, fail-soft).
- Logged-out, public-only, no Spotify token (the anonymous web-player token endpoint is forbidden by Spotify's Developer Terms; the internal Pathfinder API is intentionally not used).
- Anti-bot escalation ladder: httpx (datacenter) -> curl\_cffi Chrome-impersonation (residential) -> Playwright/patchright browser (residential) -> fail-soft.
- Transparent 0-100 momentum proxy (chart presence + rank + placement reach + monthly listeners), method recorded inline; chart rank-trajectory and new-release detection in monitor mode.
- Normalized schema keyed by track / artist / album / playlist / chart, with overview / charts / detailed dataset views.
- Portfolio cost-control stack: pre-flight input caps, demo-mode soft-fail, `_RunBudget` 5-layer guard, monitor mode, hardcoded PPE prices.
