## Changelog

### 0.1.1 (2026-11-05)

- HTML is converted in a background thread with its own memory cap and time limit. A heavy page no longer makes other URLs time out, and a page too big to convert fails its own row with `CONTENT_TOO_LARGE` instead of taking the run down.
- Rows with `extraction: "large-page"` now match the dataset schema. The `large-page` path starts at 3,000 HTML elements (was 5,000), and it's also used when Defuddle runs past the time limit.
- Fewer false bot-check results. Cloudflare's detection script on normal pages, or words like "DDoS-Guard" in an article, no longer end as `BLOCKED_BY_SITE`. A literal `<script>` inside `<title>` no longer removes the page body.
- Content-Encoding lists (such as `gzip, identity`) and raw deflate are decoded. Unknown encodings and binary bodies end as `UNSUPPORTED_CONTENT_TYPE` and aren't charged. An empty body is `EMPTY_CONTENT` (the browser gets a try in auto mode), and a redirect status without a `Location` header is `HTTP_ERROR`. Deeply nested pages end as `EMPTY_CONTENT` instead of `INTERNAL_ERROR`.
- The Docker image no longer installs Defuddle's optional dependencies.

### 0.1.0 (2026-11-05)

First version.

- Fetches up to 100 URLs per run and returns each one as Markdown, plain text or cleaned HTML, through a fallback chain of plain HTTP, then HTTP with Chrome-like headers, then headless Chromium only when a page is blocked, needs JavaScript or is empty. Each row lists the steps it tried.
- Main content detection with Defuddle, a full-page mode, and a fast path for pages with more than 5,000 HTML elements.
- 16 per-URL error codes. Only rows with content are charged, at $0.001 per page.
- SSRF guard on the URL, on every redirect hop and inside the connection's DNS lookup, plus a request guard in the browser.
- Caps of 5 MB per page, 10 redirects, 1,000,000 characters of content and 120 seconds per step. The run summary goes to the `OUTPUT` record, and the run stops starting URLs at its maximum charge.
