## Changelog

### \[1.1.0] - 2026-09-05

#### Added

- Rich product and fail-closed diagnostic contracts with stable IDs, provenance, page positions, extraction method, and access status.
- Strict input sections for filters, global sorting, per-source pagination, deduplication, output options, pacing, concurrency, retries, timeouts, and proxy routing.
- Structured-data, network-JSON, and card-scoped DOM extraction with product-image validation and adjacent-card thumbnail isolation.
- Multiple-source processing, bounded pagination, global max-items selection, global sorting, deduplication, and per-source run summaries.
- Dataset, output, and key-value-store schemas plus fixture-based input examples and validation coverage.

#### Changed

- Public access barriers, unsafe redirects, empty pages, and exhausted retries now produce explicit diagnostic rows instead of fabricated products.
- `requestTimeoutSecs` is the primary timeout option; `timeoutMs` remains a validated legacy alias.
- README documents the current Actor contract, examples, limitations, and local verification workflow.

### \[1.0.0] - 2026-06-01

#### Added

- Initial release of the 1688 wholesale product scraper with JSON-LD, embedded offer, DOM-card extraction, tier pricing, and access-barrier diagnostics.
