## Changelog

All notable changes to the **Airbnb Search Scraper** are listed here.

***

### \[1.2.0] — 2026-08-22

#### Changed

- Split the browser crawler, run-state/output management, URL construction, search-card extraction, detail extraction, and shared DOM helpers into focused modules.
- Replaced the stale closure-based route/util scaffolding with explicit crawler context and state wiring.
- Updated the local dataset validator to enforce stable record fields and schema types while allowing input-controlled optional fields to be absent.
- Verified local schema validation plus bounded browser search and product-detail runs with non-empty public Airbnb records.

#### Re-audit hardening — 2026-09-09

- Normalized browser/HTTP access-boundary diagnostics for HTTP 401/403/407/429/451 responses and preserved `scrapedAt` on diagnostic dataset rows.
- Aligned runtime input validation with the Console schema, including strict keys, source bounds, timeout precedence, and a request-handler timeout invariant.
- Refreshed public documentation, Console/API steps, cost guidance, and multi-record verification examples.
