 # Changelog
 
+## v1.6.2 (2026-04-01)
+
+### Fixes
+- **Anti-bot detection evasion** — Gemini synthesis now performs gentle scroll every ~6 seconds while waiting for the copy button. This prevents the button from hanging due to anti-bot "human activity" checks.
+
+## v1.6.1 (2026-03-31)
+
+### Features
+- **Single-engine full answers by default** — when using `engine: "perplexity"`, `engine: "bing"`, `engine: "google"`, or `engine: "gemini"`, the full answer is now returned by default instead of truncated previews. Multi-engine (`engine: "all"`) still uses truncated previews (~300 chars) to save tokens during synthesis. Explicit `fullAnswer: true/false` always overrides.
+
+### Code Quality
+- **Major refactoring** — extracted 438 lines from `index.ts` (856 → 418 lines) into modular formatters:
+  - `src/formatters/coding.ts` — coding task formatting
+  - `src/formatters/results.ts` — search and deep research formatting  
+  - `src/formatters/sources.ts` — source utilities (URL, label, consensus, formatting)
+  - `src/formatters/synthesis.ts` — synthesis rendering
+  - `src/utils/helpers.ts` — shared formatting utilities
+- **Complexity reduced** — cognitive complexity dropped from 360 to ~60, maintainability index improved from 11.2 to ~40+
+- **Eliminated code duplication** — removed 6 duplicate blocks, consolidated 4+ single-use helper functions
+
+### Documentation
+- Clarified `greedy_search` is WEB SEARCH ONLY — removed "NOT for codebase search" from tool description (still in skill documentation)
+

 ## Changelog
 
+### v1.6.1 (2026-03-31)
+- **Single-engine full answers by default** — `engine: "google"` (or any single engine) now returns complete answers instead of truncated previews. Multi-engine (`all`) still truncates to save tokens during synthesis.
+- **Codebase refactored** — extracted 438 lines from `index.ts` into modular formatters (`src/formatters/`) reducing cognitive complexity from 360 to ~60 and maintainability index from 11.2 to ~40+
+- **Removed codebase search confusion** — clarified that `greedy_search` is WEB SEARCH ONLY (not for searching local code)
+
 ### v1.6.0 (2026-03-29)
 - **Merged deep_research into greedy_search** — new `depth` parameter: `fast` (1 engine), `standard` (3 engines + synthesis), `deep` (3 engines + fetch + synthesis + confidence)
 - **Simpler API** — one tool with clear speed/quality tradeoffs instead of separate tools with overlapping flags
