Enhance Async Crawler with storage state handling
- Updated Async Crawler to support storage state management.
- Added error handling for URL validation in Async Web Crawler.
- Modified README logo and improved .gitignore entries.
- Fixed issues in multiple files for better code robustness.
### New Features:
- **Text-Only Mode**: Added support for text-only crawling by disabling images, JavaScript, GPU, and other non-essential features.
- **Light Mode**: Optimized browser settings to reduce resource usage and improve efficiency during crawling.
- **Dynamic Viewport Adjustment**: Automatically adjusts viewport dimensions based on content size, ensuring accurate rendering and scaling.
- **Full Page Scanning**: Introduced a feature to scroll and capture dynamic content for pages with infinite scroll or lazy-loading elements.
- **Session Management**: Added `create_session` method for creating and managing browser sessions with unique IDs.
### Improvements:
- Unified viewport handling across contexts by dynamically setting dimensions using `self.viewport_width` and `self.viewport_height`.
- Enhanced logging and error handling for viewport adjustments, page scanning, and content evaluation.
- Reduced resource usage with additional browser flags for both `light_mode` and `text_only` configurations.
- Improved handling of cookies, headers, and proxies in session creation.
### Refactoring:
- Removed hardcoded viewport dimensions and replaced them with dynamic configurations.
- Cleaned up unused and commented-out code for better readability and maintainability.
- Introduced defaults for frequently used parameters like `delay_before_return_html`.
### Fixes:
- Resolved potential inconsistencies in viewport handling.
- Improved robustness of content loading and dynamic adjustments to avoid failures and timeouts.
### Docs Update:
- Updated schema usage in `quickstart_async.py` example:
- Changed `OpenAIModelFee.schema()` to `OpenAIModelFee.model_json_schema()` for compatibility.
- Enhanced LLM extraction instruction documentation.
This commit introduces significant enhancements to improve efficiency, flexibility, and reliability of the crawler strategy.
- Introduced the PruningContentFilter for better content relevance.
- Implemented comprehensive unit tests for verification of functionality.
- Enhanced existing BM25ContentFilter tests for edge case coverage.
- Updated documentation to include usage examples for new filter.
- Added new Docker commands for platform-specific builds.
- Updated README with comprehensive installation and setup instructions.
- Introduced `post_install` method in setup script for automation.
- Refined migration processes with enhanced error logging.
- Bump version to 0.3.746 and updated dependencies.
- Added a post-installation setup script for initialization.
- Updated README with installation notes for Playwright setup.
- Enhanced migration logging for better error visibility.
- Added 'pydantic' to requirements.
- Bumped version to 0.3.746.
- Removed __del__ method in AsyncPlaywrightCrawlerStrategy to ensure reliable browser lifecycle management by using explicit context managers.
- Added process monitoring in ManagedBrowser to detect and log unexpected terminations of the browser subprocess.
- Updated Docker configuration to expose port 9222 for remote debugging and allocate extra shared memory to prevent browser crashes.
- Improved error handling and resource cleanup for browser instances, particularly in Docker environments.
