## Changelog

### 0.3.3

- Align to the live pay-per-result pricing ($0.004 per email checked). Removed the
  no-op `email-verified` charge call (Apify meters the default-dataset item event
  automatically); updated README/description to match.

### 0.3.2

- Catch-all retry: in realtime mode, a "risky" verdict on a catch-all domain now
  triggers one fresh deep check (?refresh=true) before it's accepted, since a
  stale cache or an unresolved first probe often resolves to safe/invalid on the
  second attempt.

### 0.3.1

- Realtime mode now verifies over SSE, so catch-all Gmail/Microsoft addresses get
  the server's deep-check upgrade (risky → safe/invalid) instead of the tighter
  40s non-streaming budget that leaves them stuck at "risky". Bulk mode already
  runs the catch-all enhancement server-side.

### 0.3.0

- Fully managed: removed the user-facing API key. Verification now runs on a
  Verifox key set by the owner as a secret env var (`VERIFOX_API_KEY`) — users
  paste only emails.
- Monetization: pay-per-event billing — each successfully verified email is
  metered via `Actor.charge('email-verified')`. Failed/unverifiable rows are free.
- Docs updated for the no-key, pay-per-result model.

### 0.2.0

- Reliability: automatic retry with backoff on rate-limits (429), transient 5xx,
  and network errors — for both realtime and bulk paths.
- Run summary written to the key-value store as `OUTPUT` (counts by verdict).
- Cleaner status messages and end-of-run summary.
- World-class README (features, output example, use cases, integrations, FAQ).

### 0.1.0

- Initial release: realtime + bulk verification, auto mode, BYO Verifox API key,
  full-field dataset output with a labelled table view.
