## Changelog

### 1.1.0 — 2026-10-22

**Coverage: 17 → 71 jurisdictions, 20 → 92 datasets, 14 → 28 states, 727 distinct places.**

- New generic, config-driven adapters for **ArcGIS REST** (FeatureServer/MapServer), **Socrata** and **CKAN** — a new source is one registry entry (`src/registry.js`).
- 54 new jurisdictions, including Detroit, San Antonio, Denver, Nashville, Louisville, Baltimore & Baltimore County, Washington DC, Miami, Tampa, Columbus, Cleveland, Pittsburgh, Minneapolis, Kansas City, Raleigh, Durham, Charlotte/Mecklenburg, Fort Worth, Arlington TX, Tucson, Scottsdale, Portland, Salem, Tacoma, Bellevue, Everett, San Jose, Anaheim, Corona and more; extra trade datasets for Los Angeles, Seattle, Austin, Montgomery County MD and Cambridge (solar).
- County & multi-town feeds: Cook County IL (68 towns), Collin County TX (24), San Diego County (38), Louisville Metro (52), Montgomery County MD (30), Nashville (15), Wake (15), Mecklenburg (8). `city` now holds the town on the record; new `jurisdiction` field holds the issuing authority.
- Statewide: New Jersey DCA construction permits (415 municipalities) as an opt-in **lagged** feed (published ~2–3 months behind).
- New inputs: `municipalities` (server-side town filter for county feeds), `allJurisdictions`, `includeLaggedSources`.
- Default run now queries a fast sample of 20 large datasets (finishes in seconds); all 92 datasets take about a minute; choose cities/states/towns or tick *Query all jurisdictions* for everything.
- Every source validated on 2026-10-22 (freshness ≤ 60 days, field mapping, measured fill rates in README).
- Fix: `maxResults` could be exceeded by 1 when parallel sources finished at the same moment.
- Parallelism per ArcGIS organisation instead of per shared host, so many ArcGIS sources run concurrently.

Rejected after validation (not added): Dallas (stale 2020), Kansas City old dataset (stale), Honolulu (ends 2025-06), Somerville, Gainesville, Sonoma, Cambridge pools (stale), Mesa old dataset (retired), Fort Collins (portal moved), Phoenix (2023), Las Vegas (near-empty), Urbana (2 rows), Rockford (unparseable dates), Prince George's County (sparse), Williamson CAD (no recent issues), Boulder County / Redmond OR / Fort Pierce / Bend / Atlanta (no issue date or mostly non-building cases), Raleigh right-of-way, Canadian portals (not US), Alamance County NC (blocks cloud/datacenter IPs with HTTP 403 — fails on Apify).

### 1.0 — 2026-10-22

- 17 jurisdictions / 20 official datasets (was 6): added Boston (CKAN), Philadelphia (CARTO), New Orleans, Cincinnati, Cambridge MA (alterations, new construction, roof), Montgomery County MD (residential + commercial), Orlando, Baton Rouge, Norfolk, Mesa, Marin County.
- New normalized schema: `permitId`, `isNewConstruction`, `contractorLicense`, `contractorAddress`, `ownerName` (organisations only), clean 5-digit `zip`, validated coordinates.
- 17 trade tags (added siding, fireProtection, deck; stricter roofing; battery storage counts as solar).
- New filters: states, ZIP codes, new construction only; trade names are case-insensitive.
- Fair-share quota with redistribution, cross-source dedup, per-source time budget and error isolation (one failing portal never fails the run), per-source status in `OUTPUT_SUMMARY`.
- Dataset views: Overview, Contractor leads, Locations. Output schema links.

### 0.1 — 2026-10-22

- First version: Chicago, NYC, LA, SF, Seattle, Austin.
