+- Keyless; `mode: "structure"` lists all 50 titles, a title's top-level divisions (chapters or subtitles), or — with `title` + `part` — every section and appendix in the part, flattened, each carrying its `subpart` and `subjectGroup`; `mode: "search"` full-text-searches the codified CFR
 - `title` (1–50) and `part` scope both modes; a `part` without `title` is rejected (`title_required_for_part`) since part numbers repeat across titles
-- Search accepts `date` (point-in-time; eCFR indexes 2017-01-03 onward) and `per_page` (1–50, default 20)
+- `date` is point-in-time in both modes and must be a real calendar day; structure mode rejects a date past the title's up-to-date date (`date_out_of_range`), and search indexes 2017-01-03 onward
+- `page` (1-based, default 1) and `per_page` (1–50, default 20) page search results and a part's listing; `page` and `totalCount` come back with a notice naming the next page, and a page past the end returns no rows plus the last page. Labels are plain text (eCFR's inline markup stripped)
+- Search returns one row per section: eCFR's live index answers one hit per section *version*, so repeats are collapsed. `countBasis` says what `totalCount` counts — `sections`, or eCFR's own `section_versions` count until the whole hit list has been read. Live search pages through eCFR's first 10,000 hits only; a page past them fails as `page_out_of_window`
 - Every search result reports `source` (`mirror`/`live`) and `sourceScope` — the mirror only answers a title it holds, never an all-titles query when scoped, so anything it can't answer falls through to the live eCFR API

-- `date` for point-in-time text; eCFR retains history back to ~2017-01-03, rejected earlier as `date_out_of_range`
+- `section` accepts the cite the way people write it: `"61"` in part 141, `"§ 141.61"`, `"Sec. 141.61"`, and `"141.61(c)"` (paragraph designators dropped; the whole section comes back) all read 40 CFR 141.61. An identifier that resolves as given is never rewritten (14 CFR 241 `"25"`, 26 CFR `"48.4061(a)"`); a rewrite returns the identifier read in `section` / `cfrCite` plus a `notice`
+- Text is one window of `bodyText`: `offset` (default 0) and `max_chars` (default 64,000, max 200,000) select it, and `bodyTextOffset` / `bodyTextLength` / `bodyTextNextOffset` (present while text remains) page through it — the same contract as `regulations_get_document`'s full text. An offset past the end is an empty window with a `notice`
+- A whole-part fetch adds `sections[]`, a text-free index of the sections in the window (`section`, `heading`, `cfrCite`, and the `offset` each starts at in the part's text — pass it as `offset` to jump there)
+- `date` for point-in-time text, 2017-01-01 through the title's up-to-date date; anything outside that is `date_out_of_range`, checked before any text request, and a date that is not a real calendar day is rejected at input validation
 - `appendix` must be passed verbatim as eCFR / `regulations_browse_cfr` emits it (e.g. `Appendix A-1 to Part 50`), not a short form
 - A whole-part fetch lists its appendices' identifiers and headings without inlining their text — call again with `appendix` to read one

+breaking: true
+security: false
+---
+
+# 0.4.0 — 2026-09-22
+
+## Changed
+
+- **`regulations_get_cfr_section` `bodyText`** is now one bounded, resumable window instead of the whole location's text: new `offset`/`max_chars` inputs, required `bodyTextOffset`/`bodyTextLength` outputs, and `bodyTextNextOffset` while text remains. A whole-part fetch's `sections[]` drops per-section `bodyText` — it's now a text-free index (`section`, `heading`, `cfrCite`, `offset`) cut to the window. The `regulations://cfr/{title}/{part}/{section}` resource returns the default 64,000-character window on the same fields [#29](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/29).
+- **`regulations_browse_cfr` structure mode with `part`** now returns the part's sections and appendices flattened and paged (`page`/`per_page`), each naming its `subpart`/`subjectGroup`, instead of the part's direct children — mostly subparts and subject groups, which carry no read path [#31](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/31).
+- **`regulations_browse_cfr` search mode** collapses eCFR's per-version repeats to one row per section. `totalCount` now describes what `countBasis` says it counts (`sections`, or eCFR's own `section_versions` until the whole hit list is read), not the raw versioned hit count [#42](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/42).
+- **A `date` past eCFR's up-to-date date** now answers `date_out_of_range` (naming the window) instead of `not_found`, on `regulations_get_cfr_section` and `regulations_browse_cfr` structure mode; `date` on every eCFR tool must now be a real calendar day (`2025-02-30` is rejected at input validation, not just the `YYYY-MM-DD` shape) [#35](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/35).
+- **`ECFR_MIRROR_REFRESH_CRON`** has no default — unset now registers no refresh job, where it previously defaulted to a weekly cron that never actually ran [#26](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/26).
+- **Structure labels and descriptions** are reduced to plain text — eCFR's inline `<em>`/`<sub>`/`<span>` markup is stripped and named/numeric entities decoded rather than passed through; search headings, paths, and excerpts, already tag-stripped, now decode entities too [#31](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/31).
+
+## Added
+
+- **`regulations_get_cfr_section` `section`** now resolves a cite the way people write it — `"61"` in part 141, a leading `§`/`Sec.`, and a paragraph cite (`"141.61(c)"`, which returns the whole section) — before falling back to `not_found`; the resolved identifier comes back in `section`/`cfrCite` with a `notice`, and the cfr-section resource resolves the same inputs [#22](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/22).
+- **`regulations_browse_cfr` `page`** input pages both search results and a part's structure listing; a live search page starting past eCFR's 10,000-hit window fails as `page_out_of_window` [#30](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/30).
+
+## Fixed
+
+- **The eCFR mirror refresh cron never ran** — `node-cron` is an optional peer of the framework that the server never declared, so it was never installed and `schedulerService.schedule()` always rejected. It's now a regular dependency, and a tick against a mirror that has never finished `mirror:init` is skipped with a log line instead of becoming a full in-process build [#26](https://github.com/cyanheads/federal-regulations-mcp-server/issues/26).
+
+## Dependencies
+
+- `node-cron` added: `^4.6.0` (regular dependency; previously an undeclared optional framework peer).
