## Changelog

### 0.1 - 2026-06-12 - Initial release

- Four modes: `recent_rounds`, `company_funding`, `investor_search`, `funding_monitor`.
- Primary-source synthesis path: SEC Form D / D/A filings via EDGAR full-text search and the EDGAR archives, never a Crunchbase scrape.
- Defensive `xml.etree` Form D parser: offering amount (total / sold / remaining, with non-numeric "Indefinite" labels preserved), industry group, federal exemptions, date of first sale (including "yet to occur"), issuer name/CIK/state/incorporation year, related persons with normalized relationships, minimum investment, and revenue range.
- Entity resolution with rapidfuzz `token_set_ratio`: accept >= 90, weak 75-90 (emit with `match_confidence`), reject < 75. Legal-suffix normalization for company names.
- Press corroboration from Google News RSS (top 5 within 180 days, fuzzy-matched to the company name). Soft-fail: press errors never kill the run.
- Record shapes: `funding_round_record` (per filing), `company_record` (per issuer rollup), `investor_graph_enrichment` (per searched person). `data_lag_note` on every record.
- Cost-control: pre-flight caps, `_RunBudget` guard (1800s compute cap, low-rev abort after 50, 1200 hard record cap), demo-mode soft-fail, hardcoded PPE prices.
- Monitor mode (scheduled-run delta digest + Slack webhook), next-actions, and OUTPUT artifacts.
- SEC fair-access: required `user_agent_contact`, <= 8 req/s throttle, retry/backoff on 429/503/5xx, browse-edgar atom fallback when full-text search is unavailable.
- Logged-out, public, government-source data only; PII minimized to disclosed control persons (a public-record field of the filing).
