19

  - Ordinary Maps searches now use state-targeted mobile browser egress when `location` names a US state, then direct egress after two failed mobile attempts. Searches without a state use direct egress; the MCP tool asks for a state without exposing proxy settings.

21
- - Maps search and place requests now use a provider broker and report both the result provider and, for split place requests, the acquisition provider. Option 1 discovery reads the Google Maps feed; Option 2 reads the visible Businesses pack or clicks More businesses for larger service-enriched searches.
22
- - Align Option 2 Maps acquisition with the observed Google Places DOM: recognize the `udm=local` finder after More businesses, open exact `pv-` result cards, read the `#local-place-viewer` profile and its complete Services and Areas Served dialogs, and verify place identity from its `ftid` Maps link. Named service requests use Option 1's place category to reach the organic Businesses pack before Option 2 enrichment.
23
- - Option 2-only named place requests now begin on the organic Google SERP and use the matching knowledge panel's category to find the business in the organic Businesses results. A cold exact-name Places finder is reserved for profiles without a category, and a Google challenge is reported as a CAPTCHA rather than an unexplained missing business.
24
- - Option 2-only place extraction stays in the opened Google Search Places viewer to read profile details, expanded hours, declared services and areas, photos, and review cards up to the requested limits; a live run collected 30 services, 10 areas, 50 reviews, and 10 photo URLs. Maps SERP navigation preserves provider errors and allows up to two minutes for slow Browser API navigation.
25
- - Option 2 Maps search, service acquisition, and place details can start one new browser session after the provider confirms `no_ready_cookies` with zero navigations, separately from Maps extraction retries; that recovery waits five seconds after connecting before navigation.

- - `maps_search` now applies a transport ladder across its retry attempts so it can recover from Google soft-blocks instead of only retrying the same way. The first attempt is unchanged (Option 1's default stealth ISP proxy, direct navigation). Subsequent retries switch to direct egress and arrive at Google through a cross-site redirect (the combination that measurably clears blocks a cold navigation triggers); the final escalation attempt uses direct egress without the redirect and accepts any egress country. This only affects the `proxyMode: 'none'` default path and only its retries — a first-attempt success behaves exactly as before.

  Hosted operators can isolate authorization state in a dedicated Turso/libSQL database without changing the public MCP tool catalog or API-key authentication. The secured store uses atomic authorization-code exchange and refresh rotation, keyed secret lookup, bounded encrypted replay receipts, authority epochs, and fail-closed maintenance behavior. Production migration and rollback are controlled data moves, not ordinary mode flips; see [MCP OAuth operations](docs/operations/mcp-oauth-runbook.md). Existing client setup and reconnect behavior are unchanged in Phase 1.
