June 2024 Changelog
June 2024 was the start of the visible 2024 product-history run in this repository. SCM focused on API reliability, dynamic scraper output, Google Maps fixes, and the early shape of more automated task control.
The month matters because it made SCM easier to drive from outside the UI while also improving the browser and scraper workflows that feed content creation.
