Changelog

0.5.1 (2026-04-02)

Improved error diagnostics:

• 5xx errors now include detail/message from JSON body (was generic "Try again later.")
• ConnectError shows base_url + connection failure reason in logs
• All error branches in _call_api_dict() log warning/error before raising ToolError
• DRY: unified _extract_detail() helper for error detail extraction across all status codes
• Safety: isinstance(val, str) guard prevents DRF dict/list values from leaking into messages
• Error detail truncated to 300 chars (prevents HTML dump from Django DEBUG=True)

• Credit tracking with _credits in every response
• PII redaction (email, linkedin)

0.4.0 (2026-03-26)

• Credit monetization: per-item charging, dedup (same entity = free), cache miss billing
• x-credits-charged, x-credits-weekly-remaining, x-credits-monthly-remaining headers

0.3.0 (2026-03-24)
