June 2026 - Faster bulk validation with safe follow-ups
Standard bulk jobs now complete an initial pass quickly while slower SMTP evidence continues in the background. The first pass keeps definitive mailbox results, marks ambiguous provider responses as pending, and refreshes the latest CSV when follow-ups resolve.
- Added bounded initial-pass telemetry for cold, mixed, and warm cache runs, including initial rate, deferred rows, stage timings, and observed concurrency.
- Added automatic no-charge follow-ups for Standard bulk rows that time out, greylist, or return provider-blocked evidence during the initial pass.
- Improved retry-worker resilience so one closed database connection no longer stalls an entire follow-up tick.
