 # Changelog
 
+## 0.5.2 (2026-09-06)
+
+### Added
+
+- **`reddit_post_visibility`.** Is a post still publicly visible, or did it quietly stop being so? A removed Reddit post still returns when you fetch it by id, with its title and score, so asking the post does not answer the question. This fetches the post and then one page of its author's submitted listing and compares them, returning a verdict of `live`, `not_visible` or `undecidable` with a plain-language reason and a `confident` flag. It never says WHY a post is not visible: a moderator removal, an admin removal, a spam filter and an author who has hidden their post history are indistinguishable from outside, and only one of them is a removal. `undecidable` is a real answer, not a failure. Two upstream calls, billed as one request at $0.004.
