General Scraper Engine — v1.0.2 Release Notes

Release Status

  • Version: 1.0.2
  • Status: Release Candidate / Final Audit
  • Previous release: 1.0.1

Release Summary

v1.0.2 upgrades the scraper engine from a synchronous HTTP-oriented implementation into a pluggable web acquisition and extraction architecture.

The release introduces smart acquisition routing, browser fallback, bounded concurrency, discovery and fetch caching, provider routing, structured extraction, crawling support, lead-quality measurement, external scraping-provider adapters, observability, batch processing, and an expanded benchmark matrix.

Completed Capabilities

  • Pluggable acquisition architecture
  • Smart HTTP acquisition and content-quality evaluation
  • Browser-based fetching and fallback routing
  • Async and bounded-concurrency processing
  • Discovery provider routing
  • Discovery cache
  • Fetch cache
  • Structured content extraction
  • Lead quality and relevance measurement
  • Map and crawl support
  • External scraping-provider adapters
  • Anti-blocking and operational resilience
  • Run metrics and observability
  • Batch processing
  • Phase 16 benchmark and test matrix
  • Updated documentation and public API references

Validation Evidence

  • Full test suite: 450 passed, 3 skipped
  • Compile check: OK
  • Phase 16 benchmark matrix: 10/10 workloads passed
  • Discovery cache benchmark: 95% hit rate and 95% provider-call reduction
  • Fetch cache benchmark: 95% hit rate and approximately 9.97x mean speedup
  • Canonical bounded-concurrency benchmark completed for concurrency levels 4 and 8

Known Remaining Work

  • Provider-specific concurrency limiting remains incomplete.
  • OLX specialized parser remains incomplete.
  • LinkedIn specialized parser remains incomplete.
  • Specialized-adapter integration and final validation remain incomplete.
  • Specialized source-adapter documentation and final Phase 12 checkpoint remain incomplete.

Scope Boundaries

This release remains focused on public-web lead discovery and acquisition. Login bypass, CAPTCHA solving, private or access-controlled data extraction, UI/dashboard systems, and similar capabilities remain outside the release scope.

External scraping services are optional provider adapters and are not mandatory dependencies.
