## Changelog

### 2.3.0 - 2026-10-30

- Fixed marketplace selection: autocomplete is now requested from the selected marketplace's own completion host (`completion.amazon.co.uk`, `completion.amazon.co.jp`, …) instead of always `completion.amazon.com`. Amazon answers a foreign marketplace ID on another marketplace's host with HTTP 200 and an empty `suggestions` array, so every non-US marketplace silently produced no rows.
- Response-origin validation now accepts exactly the selected marketplace's completion host, so the configured host is not rejected as `redirect_outside_amazon`.

### 2.2.0 - 2026-09-05

- Added rich public search-page enrichment for each keyword, including result counts, page metadata, related queries, pagination links, and bounded top-product fields such as ASIN, title, URL, image, price, rating, reviews, badges, sponsorship, offers, and availability.
- Added explicit enrichment status, page/request caps, marketplace search sort, price bounds, and per-record derived keyword metrics while keeping autocomplete data as the primary source.
- Added HTML response validation and safe DOM-style fallback parsing without storing raw pages, headers, cookies, or tokens.

### 2.1.0 - 2026-09-05

- Added bounded concurrent completion requests, global query caps, dataset batching, deterministic keyword sorting, richer developer controls, and safe failure summaries.
- Added sectioned input documentation, legacy alias coverage, expanded runtime validation, and a local README/dataset validation workflow.

### 2.0.0 - 2026-08-30

- Added strict completion-response validation, stable keyword normalization, marketplace-aware search URLs, filters, cross-query dedupe, hard limits, bounded retries, proxies, and a separate `OUTPUT` summary.
- Removed diagnostic rows, actor/transport/status envelopes, full request provenance, ignored retry/proxy controls, and permissive schemas.
