## Changelog

All notable changes to the Reddit Profile Scraper are documented here.

### \[1.0.1] - 2026-08-05

#### Changed

- Restored Actor metadata with the exact generator marker `Codex with GPT-5.6 Luna` and active dataset/output schema references.
- Expanded `dataset_schema.json` to document all active top-level output fields, nullable examples, open nested objects, and a ten-field overview.
- Added `output_schema.json` with the default dataset items URL as a string output property.
- Added bounded input handling, public-only response fetches, zero automatic retries, and fail-closed diagnostics with `found: false` and `dataAvailable: false` for unavailable profiles.
- Updated `validate-datasets.js` to validate against the active dataset schema, honor `APIFY_LOCAL_STORAGE_DIR`, and exclude explicit diagnostic records from success counts.
- Corrected `README.md` to describe the actual profile input and output contract.
- Kept the active dataset record field named `profileId`; no reserved top-level `id` field is used.

### \[1.0.0] - 2025-05-21

#### Added

- Initial production release of the Reddit Profile Scraper.
- `PuppeteerCrawler`-based architecture using Reddit's public `.json` endpoints.
- Profile karma, bio, account age, trophies, recent posts, and recent comments.
- Apify Actor metadata, input schema, dataset schema, local output validator, Dockerfile, and usage documentation.
