Resolved a bug where running the crawler on local HTML files with `capture_console_messages=False`
(default) raised `UnboundLocalError` due to `captured_console` being accessed before assignment.
Revised the description for the `f` parameter in the `/mcp/md` tool schema to use lowercase enum values
(`raw`, `fit`, `bm25`, `llm`) for consistency with the actual `enum` definition. This change prevents
LLM-based clients (e.g., Gemini via LibreChat) from generating uppercase values like `"FIT"`, which
caused 422 validation errors due to strict case-sensitive matching.
This patch ensures consistent handling of `response.choices[0].message.content` by avoiding redefinition
of the `response` variable, which caused downstream exceptions during error handling.
Removes automatic page closure in take_screenshot and take_screenshot_naive methods
to prevent premature closure of pages that might still be needed in the calling context.
This allows for more flexible page lifecycle management by the caller.
BREAKING CHANGE: Page objects are no longer automatically closed after taking screenshots.
Callers must explicitly handle page closure when appropriate.
Add session_id feature to allow reusing browser pages across multiple crawls.
Add support for view-source: protocol in URL handling.
Fix browser config reference and string formatting issues.

Add new RegexExtractionStrategy for fast, zero-LLM extraction of common data types:
- Built-in patterns for emails, URLs, phones, dates, and more

Breaking changes: None
Implements new asynchronous endpoints for handling long-running crawl and LLM tasks:
- POST /crawl/job and GET /crawl/job/{task_id} for crawl operations
- POST /llm/job and GET /llm/job/{task_id} for LLM operations
- Added Redis-based task management with configurable TTL
- Moved schema definitions to dedicated schemas.py
- Added example polling client demo_docker_polling.py
This change allows clients to handle long-running operations asynchronously through a polling pattern rather than holding connections open.
