## Changelog

### v0.1 — initial release

- 6 modes: `ticker_posts`, `ticker_quote`, `user_posts`, `user_profile`, `trending`, `post_search`
- Ticker normalization across SH / SZ / HK / US markets (100% accuracy on conversion-test benchmark: 201/201)
- Cashtag parser handles Xueqiu's native `$name(SYMBOL)$` format, anchor-href cashtags, bare US `$TICKER`, bare numeric `$600519`, and `$market-prefix` forms
- Anonymous visitor-cookie acquisition (no login required for `ticker_quote`, `trending`, and `ticker_posts`)
- HK ticker quotes wired through the `quotec` endpoint with bare 5-digit symbol fallback
- Async HTTP client with retry + cookie refresh on auth failure
- Date-window filtering on all post modes
- Pay-Per-Event pricing: $0.005/post, $0.002/ticker-quote, $0.005/user-profile
- `cookieString` input unlocks `user_posts`, `user_profile`, `post_search`, and full per-symbol `ticker_posts` chronology
- Graceful degradation with explicit log messages for auth-gated endpoints
- No Zhihu cross-promo (Zhihu actor not currently in production)
