Changelog

2026-09-21

Replace inherited base-image Node dependencies with the repository's locked production dependencies.

0.1.1

GET-sniff ambiguous generic XML media types so RSS and Atom feeds are not misclassified as plain XML.
Clarified Store copy, published a schema-valid output example, and aligned the live example input and SEO metadata with the Actor contract.

0.1.0

Initial deterministic URL Retrieval Preflight implementation.
HEAD-first probing with a bounded 64 KiB GET sniff fallback (405/501, missing content type, HTML pages).
Nine stable retrieval-strategy recommendations with explicit evidence and no opaque scores.
SSRF-safe HTTPS probing, redirect-chain provenance, URL query redaction, and structured machine errors.
Required GET probe failures remain free instead of producing a billable HEAD-only guess.
Shared run-wide request budgets, content-type-less SPA detection, strict output schemas, and content hashes.
