+# Changelog
+
+## v2.0.0 — 2026-03-05 (Buddy Security Hardening Release)
+

+- **Rate limiting**: Built-in IP-based rate limiter (30 req/min default, configurable via `RATE_LIMIT_MAX`)
+- **Error message sanitization**: Server returns generic errors to clients, logs full details internally
+- **Input validation**: GAQL period values whitelisted to prevent injection
+- **Write safety protocol**: All mutations require explicit user confirmation (CEP Protocol)
+
+### New Files
+- `LICENSE` — MIT license (previously missing)
+- `SECURITY.md` — Security policy, vulnerability reporting, best practices
+- `CONTRIBUTING.md` — Contributor guide with priority areas and code style
+- `.env.example` — Environment variable template with placeholders
+- `.gitignore` — Comprehensive ignore rules for Python projects
+- `pyproject.toml` — Modern Python packaging configuration
+- `setup.py` — PyPI-compatible package setup

+
+### Architecture Documentation
+- Added Buddy (Cloudflare) architecture reference showing the production deployment
+- Documents the full Cloudflare stack: Workers, Durable Objects, D1, KV, R2, Vectorize
+- Includes ReAct loop, semantic memory, monitoring, and billing system details
+- Serves as a reference for contributors building the equivalent in Python
+
+## v1.0.0 — 2026-02-10 (Initial Release)
+
+- 28 custom Google Ads API actions
+- 6 specialized sub-agents (Reporting, Research, Optimization, Shopping, Creative, Creative Innovate)
+- Programmatic deployment via Anthropic API (Path A)
+- Agent platform deployment guide (Path B)
+- FastAPI REST server with session management
+- Docker support
+- Interactive CLI

+# Contributing to Google Ads API Agent
+
+We welcome contributions! Here's how to get started.
+
+## Priority Areas
+
+1. **Optimization sub-agent actions** — The system prompt is written but needs API actions built
+2. **Shopping & PMax sub-agent actions** — Same as above
+3. **Test coverage** — Unit tests for the deploy package and action files
+4. **Documentation** — Tutorials, guides, video walkthroughs
+
+## Development Setup
+
+```bash
+# Clone
+git clone https://github.com/itallstartedwithaidea/google-ads-api-agent.git
+cd google-ads-api-agent
+
+# Virtual environment
+python -m venv venv
+source venv/bin/activate
+
+# Install with all extras
+pip install -e ".[all]"
+
+# Copy env template
+cp .env.example .env
+# Fill in your credentials
+
+# Validate
+python scripts/validate.py
+```
+
+## Submitting Changes
+
+1. Fork the repo
+2. Create a feature branch: `git checkout -b feature/my-feature`
+3. Make your changes
+4. Test with a Google Ads test account (never use production accounts for testing)
+5. Commit with a clear message: `git commit -m "Add: optimization sub-agent bulk operations"`
+6. Push and open a PR
+
+## Code Style
+
+- Python 3.10+ with type hints
+- Follow existing patterns in `actions/` for new action files
+- All actions must have a `run()` function as the entry point
+- Use `logging` instead of `print()` for debug output
+
+## Security
+
+- **Never commit real API keys** — use `.env` and `.env.example`
+- **Never log credentials** — mask sensitive values in debug output
+- See [SECURITY.md](SECURITY.md) for the full security policy
+
+## Action File Template
+
+```python
+"""
+Action: My New Action
+Description: What this action does
+Credentials: Pattern B (4-key Google Ads)
+"""
+
+def run(action, customer_id=None, login_customer_id=None, **kwargs):
+    """
+    Entry point for the action.
+    
+    Args:
+        action: The specific operation to perform
+        customer_id: Google Ads customer ID
+        login_customer_id: MCC account ID
+    
+    Returns:
+        dict or str: Result of the operation
+    """
+    # Your implementation here
+    pass
+```

+# Security Policy
+
+## Reporting a Vulnerability
+
+If you discover a security vulnerability, please report it responsibly:
+
+1. **Do NOT open a public GitHub issue**
+2. Email: john@itallstartedwithaidea.com
+3. Include: description, steps to reproduce, potential impact
+4. We'll respond within 48 hours
+
+## Security Practices
+
+### Credentials
+
+- **Never commit API keys** — use `.env` files (gitignored) or secrets managers
+- **Rotate keys** if you suspect exposure — even in private repos
+- All credentials reference `.env` via `python-dotenv`; the `.env.example` contains only placeholders
+
+### CORS
+
+- The FastAPI server defaults to `localhost` origins only
+- Set `ALLOWED_ORIGINS` env var to a comma-separated list of your actual domains
+- **Never use `*` in production**
+
+### Rate Limiting
+
+- Built-in IP-based rate limiting (default: 30 req/min)
+- Configure via `RATE_LIMIT_MAX` env var
+- For production, add API key authentication
+
+### Input Validation
+
+- GAQL queries use parameterized patterns to prevent injection
+- All Google Ads API calls use the official `google-ads` Python SDK which handles escaping
+- Period/date range values are whitelisted where user-supplied
+
+### Write Safety
+
+- All write operations (campaign creation, bid changes, budget adjustments) use the **CEP Protocol**:
+  - **Confirm**: Agent presents what it will do
+  - **Execute**: Only after explicit user confirmation
+  - **Post-check**: Verify the operation succeeded
+- Pre-state snapshots captured before mutations
+
+### Error Handling
+
+- Server logs full error details internally
+- Client receives generic error messages (no stack traces, no internal paths)
+
+## Supported Versions
+
+| Version | Supported |
+|---------|-----------|
+| 2.x     | Yes       |
+| 1.x     | No        |
+
+## Dependencies
+
+Run `pip audit` regularly to check for known vulnerabilities in dependencies.
