### Added

- Added a self-contained, responsive HTML learning center with visual navigation, search, filters, function lessons, theme controls, and copy actions.

## 1.16.1 - 2026-07-20

### Fixed

## 1.16.0 - 2026-07-20

### Added

- Boxed npm-facing **Learn Here** course with fresher-friendly syntax, parameter, return, example/output, error, and use-case lessons.
- Separate complete public `FUNCTIONS.md` directory and synchronized API/feature navigation.
- `STORMFETCH_PACKAGE_INFO` frozen public signature containing version, developer, company, WhatsApp contact, official website, and signature text.
- Professional README badges, navigation, enterprise feature presentation, current-upgrade table, and answered fresher questionnaire.
- Broader accurate npm discovery keywords for supported runtimes and built-in capabilities.

### Changed
