`npm install -g looot` now installs 1.3.0. Nothing to change in your setup.

## New

- `looot run ... --fallback`: if a provider misses or fails, the run moves to the next provider
  of the same job. One hold covers the whole walk and only attempts that ran are charged. Tune it
  with `--fallback-max-attempts N`, `--fallback-max-cost-usd X`, `--fallback-prefer`,
  `--fallback-exclude id,id` and `--fallback-stop-at-first-miss`.
- `--prefer cheapest|reliable|fastest|balanced` on `looot search`, `looot catalog search` and
  `looot discover`.
- `looot catalog overview`: what the catalog covers, by category, platform and job, with
  provider counts and the cheapest price at each level. Works without a token.
- A signed-in search that finds nothing says why (no provider does this job yet, or every
  provider is above your price cap). `looot inspect` adds a `Key:` line saying whose key runs it.

## Spending limits per key

API keys can now have a monthly spending limit (Settings, API keys). When a key reaches it, a
run is refused before any provider is called, at $0, with the error
`key_spend_limit_reached` and a line telling you where to raise it.

## Fixed

- The installed package no longer carries any server code from the catalog's ranking step.
