Daniel Legt 6bf221de3f feat(scraper): add checkpointing and richer page extraction
Add resumable checkpoint support so long scrapes can recover from
interruptions instead of restarting from scratch.

- introduce autosave/load/clear checkpoint flow in `.cache/scrape-state.json`, including SIGINT/SIGTERM save-on-exit handling
- expand parsing/model output to capture legacy and portable infobox fields, primary image URLs, effects, recipes, raw tables, and improved category extraction
- skip infobox tables during recipe parsing to avoid false recipe matches
- add cache log event type, ignore cache/output artifacts, and document new autosave tuning options in READMEfeat(scraper): add checkpointing and richer page extraction

# Scrappr
Small Go scraper for the Outward Fandom wiki.
## Layout
```text
.
├── cmd/scrappr/main.go # binary entrypoint
├── internal/app # bootstrapping and output writing
├── internal/logx # colored emoji logger
├── internal/model # dataset models
├── internal/scraper # crawl flow, parsing, queueing, retries
├── go.mod
├── go.sum
└── outward_data.json # generated output
```
## Run
```bash
go run ./cmd/scrappr
```
## What It Does
- Crawls item and crafting pages from `outward.fandom.com`
- Uses browser-like headers and rotating user agents
- Limits crawl depth and queue size to avoid drifting into junk pages
- Retries temporary failures with short backoff
- Prints colored emoji logs for queueing, requests, responses, parsing, retries, and periodic status
- Stores legacy and portable infobox fields, primary item image URLs, recipes, effects, and raw content tables for later processing
- Saves resumable checkpoints into `.cache/scrape-state.json` on a timer, during progress milestones, and on `Ctrl+C`
- Writes a stable, sorted JSON dataset to `outward_data.json`
## Tuning
Scraper defaults live in `internal/scraper/config.go`.
- Lower or raise `RequestDelay` / `RequestJitter`
- Tighten or relax `MaxQueuedPages`
- Adjust `RequestTimeout`, `MaxRetries`, `ProgressEvery`, `AutosaveEvery`, and `AutosavePages`
