Requests to Rightmove API previously had no explicit timeout, causing
hung connections to block workers indefinitely. Add a configurable
request_timeout (default 30s) to ScraperConfig and apply it to all
aiohttp sessions. Also retry on TimeoutError in addition to
ThrottlingError for all API query functions.
- Extract rate limiter DRY: consolidate 3 duplicated check/respond paths
into _check_counter and _enforce_limit helpers, add proper type annotations
- Replace bare Exception raises with FloorplanDownloadError and
RightmoveApiError; narrow catch clauses to specific exception types;
fix Step base class to inherit from ABC
- Consolidate MAX_OCR_WORKERS into config/scraper_config.py; extract
_find_tenure_value helper to deduplicate tenure parsing
- Extract _build_poi_distances_lookup from stream endpoint to reduce nesting
- Fix csv_exporter: optional decisions.json, NaN instead of -1 sentinels,
guard against division by zero on missing square meters
- Fix notifications.py broken list[Surface]() constructor, database.py
stale comments and missing type annotation, auth.py type:ignore,
ui_exporter.py stale TODO
- Fix 3 pre-existing test failures: mock cache layer in streaming tests,
bypass rate limiter for test isolation, fix cache invalidation test to
account for two-pattern scan loop
The crawler subdirectory was the only active project. Moving it to the
repo root simplifies paths and removes the unnecessary nesting. The
vqa/ and immoweb/ directories were legacy/unused and have been removed.
Updated .drone.yml, .gitignore, .claude/ docs, and skills to reflect
the new flat structure.
