## ℹ️ Description
Fixes a race condition where ads were submitted before all images
finished uploading to the server, causing some images to be missing from
published ads.
- Link to the related issue(s): Issue #715
- The bot was submitting ads immediately after the last image
`send_file()` call completed, only waiting 1-2.5 seconds via
`web_sleep()`. This wasn't enough time for server-side image processing,
thumbnail generation, and DOM updates to complete, resulting in missing
images in published ads.
## 📋 Changes Summary
### Image Upload Verification (Initial Fix)
- Added thumbnail verification in `__upload_images()` method to wait for
all image thumbnails to appear in the DOM after upload
- Added configurable timeout `image_upload` to `TimeoutConfig` (default:
30s, minimum: 5s)
- Improved error messages to show expected vs actual image count when
upload times out
- Added German translations for new log messages and error messages
- Regenerated JSON schemas to include new timeout configuration
### Polling Performance & Crash Fix (Follow-up Fix)
- Fixed critical bug where `web_find_all()` would raise `TimeoutError`
when no thumbnails exist yet, causing immediate crash
- Wrapped DOM queries in `try/except TimeoutError` blocks to handle
empty results gracefully
- Changed polling to use `self._timeout("quick_dom")` (~1s with PR #718)
instead of default timeout
- Improved polling performance: reduced cycle time from ~2s to ~1.5s
- DOM queries are client-side only (no server load from frequent
polling)
**New configuration option:**
```yaml
timeouts:
image_upload: 30.0 # Total timeout for image upload and server-side processing
quick_dom: 1.0 # Per-poll timeout for thumbnail checks (adjustable via multiplier)
```
The bot now polls the DOM for `ul#j-pictureupload-thumbnails >
li.ui-sortable-handle` elements after uploading images, ensuring
server-side processing is complete before submitting the ad form.

## Summary by CodeRabbit
* **New Features**
* Image uploads now verify completion by waiting for all uploaded
thumbnails to appear before proceeding.
* **Improvements**
* Added a configurable image upload timeout (default 30s, minimum 5s).
* Improved timeout reporting: when thumbnails don’t appear in time, the
app returns clearer feedback showing expected vs. observed counts.

## ℹ️ Description
This PR addresses issue #708 by improving the README's About section to
make the bot's purpose clearer to new users. It also fixes a technical
inaccuracy in the configuration documentation.
- Link to the related issue(s): Issue #708
- **Motivation**: The current About section uses ambiguous terminology
("ads" instead of "listings") and doesn't clearly communicate what the
bot does. Additionally, the configuration example incorrectly documents
`shipping_costs` as available in `ad_defaults`, when it's only
implemented for per-ad configuration.
## 📋 Changes Summary
**About Section Improvements:**
- Changed "ads" to "listings" for clarity (addresses confusion mentioned
in #708)
- Added "Key Features" section with 6 concrete capabilities
- Added "Why This Project?" section explaining the rewrite and
differences from legacy client
- Preserved all legal disclaimers
**Configuration Documentation Fix:**
- Removed `shipping_costs` from `ad_defaults` example (not implemented
in `AdDefaults` Pydantic class)
- Added clarifying comment that `shipping_costs` and `shipping_options`
must be configured per-ad
- Verified `shipping_costs` remains documented in ad configuration
section

## ℹ️ Description
- Related issues: #671, #658
- Introduces configurable timeout controls plus retry/backoff handling
for flaky DOM operations.
We often see timeouts which are note reproducible in certain
configurations. I suspect timeout issues based on a combination of
internet speed, browser, os, age of the computer and the weather.
This PR introduces a comprehensive config model to tweak timeouts.
## 📋 Changes Summary
- add TimeoutConfig to the main config/schema and expose timeouts in
README/docs
- wire WebScrapingMixin, extractor, update checker, and browser
diagnostics to honor the configurable timeouts and retries
- update translations/tests to cover the new behaviour and ensure
lint/mypy/pyright pipelines remain green

feat(update-check): add robust update check with interval support, state management, and CLI integration
- Implement version and interval-based update checks with configurable settings
- Add CLI command `kleinanzeigen-bot update-check` for manual checks
- Introduce state file with versioning, UTC timestamps, and migration logic
- Validate and normalize intervals (1d–4w) with fallback for invalid values
- Ensure correct handling of timezones and elapsed checks
- Improve error handling, logging, and internationalization (i18n)
- Add comprehensive test coverage for config, interval logic, migration, and CLI
- Align default config, translations, and schema with new functionality
- Improve help command UX by avoiding config/log loading for `--help`
- Update documentation and README with full feature overview
This commit implements a new 'changed' selector for the --ads option that
publishes only ads that have been modified since their last publication.
The 'due' selector now only republishes ads based on the time interval,
without considering content changes.
The implementation allows combining selectors with commas (e.g., --ads=changed,due)
to publish both changed and due ads. Documentation and translations have been
updated accordingly.
Fixes#411
