 ## Biggest price changes

+- Apple Vacations date-specific package pages resolved, but the current fetch did not expose a fresh quote table for direct extraction.
+- KAYAK exact-date flight and hotel pages still resolve for 2027-02-03 to 2027-02-07, but the rendered text fetch only exposed the shell/navigation, not the result rows.
 - Cabo del Sol public pricing is still not visible from the official booking pages checked today.
-- CheapCaribbean exact-date pricing for Secrets Puerto Los Cabos is not available even though the date-matched page loads.

 ## New options worth adding
 
-- LAX flight tracking option on KAYAK for the Feb 3, 2027 to Feb 7, 2027 window. Cheapest $273, best nonstop $380. Source: [KAYAK LAX search](https://www.kayak.com/flights/LAX-SJD/2027-02-03/2027-02-07?sort=bestflight_a)
-- ONT flight tracking option on KAYAK for the same dates. Cheapest $412, best $413. Source: [KAYAK ONT search](https://www.kayak.com/flights/ONT-SJD/2027-02-03/2027-02-07?sort=bestflight_a)
-- Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos remains worth adding as a Costco package candidate because the results flow surfaced it as a live package path with savings messaging, even though today’s run did not capture a visible final total.
+- No clearly new public options were surfaced beyond the current tracked set.
+- The app should continue tracking the existing LAX and ONT KAYAK flight options, the Apple/Costco package hotels, and the golf/nightlife/excursion set already in the history feed.

+## Package-vs-standalone caveats
+
+- Package prices should not be combined with separate flight or hotel costs unless the package explicitly excludes them.
+- Standalone hotel prices still need the 4-night conversion in comparison logic when the source is quoting a nightly rate.
+- The history feed keeps package and standalone records separate through `bookingType` and `includedComponents` metadata.
 
 ## Budget impact
 
-- Budget recommendation is now materially cheaper than the old baseline if the group accepts the cheapest LAX flight and a room-only hotel strategy. New per-person totals: 8 guys $1,150, 10 guys $1,143, 12 guys $1,139.
-- Balanced recommendation stays the cleanest value package mix. New per-person totals: 8 guys $1,771, 10 guys $1,767, 12 guys $1,764.
-- Splurge recommendation is now clearly premium-tier. New per-person totals: 8 guys $2,721, 10 guys $2,727, 12 guys $2,658.
+- Budget recommendation remains around $1,150 per person for 8 guys, $1,143 for 10 guys, and $1,139 for 12 guys using the current baseline mix.
+- Balanced recommendation remains around $1,771 per person for 8 guys, $1,767 for 10 guys, and $1,764 for 12 guys.
+- Splurge recommendation remains around $2,721 per person for 8 guys, $2,727 for 10 guys, and $2,658 for 12 guys.
 
 ## Notes
 
-- This run consolidates today's live hotel, golf, nightlife, excursion, and flight research into one latest snapshot the app can read directly.
-- Package prices and standalone prices remain differentiated in the history feed via bookingType and includedComponents metadata.
+- This run revalidated the current automation baseline and kept the output files in sync for the app.
+- If the browser session exposes row-level prices again on a later run, those should replace the carried-forward signals in the history feed.
