Free-text ss= destination resolution is non-deterministic: tonight's
30-day run resolved "Stow on the Wold" to St. Wolfgang, Austria for 8 of
30 dates, saving Salzkammergut hotel rates into the matrix. dest_id +
dest_type=city in the search URL pins the destination.
- booking_scrape_config gains a dest_id column (idempotent ALTER)
- scrape_location_search/_build_search_url thread dest_id through
- /config/location accepts dest_id

- New "Scraper Proxy" tab: enable toggle, host/port/username/password/
country, Save, and a Test Connection button that reports the live exit
IP + country through the proxy
- Backend proxy config now lives in system_config (DB authoritative when
booking_proxy_enabled is set; BOOKING_PROXY_* env vars are the fallback)
- Dedicated /config/proxy GET/POST/test endpoints; password is write-only
(never returned, blank keeps the stored value) and masked in /config/system
- Surface proxy status keys in the read-only System tab

- Route through DataImpulse residential proxy when BOOKING_PROXY_* env
vars are set (empty = direct connection, unchanged behaviour)
- Sticky one IP per session via DataImpulse sessid; rotate_session()
burns the IP for a fresh one
- Rotate-on-block: retry a date on a new IP when the page is challenged
or page 1 renders zero hotels (up to 3 IPs; single attempt sans proxy)
- Persistent, pre-warmed context across dates so cache stays hot
(~5 MB first page, ~0.3 MB per date after) instead of per-date cold loads
- Block images/media/fonts and third-party ad/consent/analytics hosts to
cut bandwidth; never touch the anti-bot challenge (awswaf)
- Faster inter-page pacing now that a burned IP is cheap

xvfb-run as container PID 1 hangs before exec'ing uvicorn — its Xvfb
readiness handshake (SIGUSR1) is never delivered to PID 1, so the backend
sat 'Up (unhealthy)' with no logs and the frontend never started.

Tier 1+2 anti-detection to stop Booking.com throttling page 2:
- Run Chromium headful under xvfb (Dockerfile) — headless leaks SwiftShader
WebGL, empty plugins, missing chrome.runtime
- playwright-stealth patches navigator.webdriver/plugins/WebGL vendor
- Single coherent Chrome-121 identity: UA + matching sec-ch-ua client hints +
platform (dropped the Firefox/Safari UA strings — a mismatched UA on a
Chromium engine is a stronger tell than no rotation)
- Homepage warm-up so search requests carry real session cookies + cookie
consent dismiss
- Paginate by clicking next (offset= deep-link was the page-2 tell), offset
URL kept as fallback
- Viewport jitter, mouse movement, longer scroll, selector retry on lazy load

Concurrent manual scrapes were interleaving (two Chromium sessions on one
LXC) causing the page timeouts behind partial results. SCRAPE_LOCK guards
run_manual_scrape and process_queue; the trigger endpoint returns 409 when
busy, and the frontend keeps the job queued and retries after 30s.

- matrix response gains last_scraped per date (max scraped_at across all
hotels), so column headers show the newest scrape touching the date even
when the visible hotels were on a failed page
- cells >1h older than the column's latest scrape render italic with *
- every cell tooltip now includes the datestamp the price was scraped

A page-load timeout was logged and skipped, so a scrape could 'succeed'
with only page 1 of results — and the not_listed flagging then marked
every page-2 hotel absent, suppressing their last known rates.
- ScraperResult now tracks pages_requested/pages_ok
- scrape_date skips not_listed flagging when pages failed or when the
scrape saw <60% of the date's 7-day coverage baseline; scraped rates
are still saved, unseen hotels keep last known rate + scrape time

- Scrape queue generalised to date-range jobs; range and per-date scrapes
share one sequential queue (timeout scales with range length)
- Matrix refetches every 30s while a scrape runs so columns fill in live
- Eye icon per date header opens that night's location search on Booking.com

- /analysis/hotel/{id}: lead_bucket alias in ORDER BY CASE broke Postgres; replaced
bucketed curve with per-days_ahead curve and reshaped response to the frontend
HotelAnalysis interface (strategy/advance_curve/dow_breakdown/sold_out_pattern)
- /analysis/hotel/{id}/timeline: accept ?date= (was rate_date, 422) and return
flat TimelineEntry array
- /analysis/hotels: alias to hotel_id/hotel_name/date_count for the selector
- strategy pcts default 0 (frontend calls .toFixed), added peak_months
- Market View badge now shows +/-% vs our rate instead of 100-index

Location-search results aren't a fixed hotel set — a sold-out hotel drops
out and its last 'available' rate would remain the latest row for that
date, reading as a live price and skewing market averages. On each
successful per-date scrape, insert a NULL-rate 'not_listed' row for every
active hotel missing from the results (skipped if the parse found nothing,
which indicates scraper fault not absence). Failed/blocked scrapes write
nothing, so genuinely-stale data remains distinguishable by scraped_at.
Also: fix the DOW analysis to pick latest-then-filter so a not_listed
latest row drops the date instead of resurfacing an older rate, and widen
booking_com_id to VARCHAR(255) (some Booking slugs exceed 50 chars).

Scraped room descriptions exceed VARCHAR(100) (StringDataRightTruncation),
and the failed insert poisoned the transaction so every subsequent save in
the batch died with InFailedSqlTransaction — scrapes reported success with
0 rows saved. Widen the column (with ALTER for existing tables) and roll
back after a failed save.

- Bookability showed no availability because newbook_occupancy_report_data
was never populated: add reports_occupancy client method and
sync_occupancy job, run before rates in both Sync Now and the daily
schedule (single fast API call)
- Category order: default display_order to the Newbook category id on
sync (was 0 → alphabetical), preserve manual order on re-sync, extend
PATCH to accept display_order, add up/down reorder arrows in Settings

run_fetch_current_rates is async; run_in_executor called it in a thread
and discarded the coroutine, so the daily scheduled sync silently did
nothing.

- schema defined gross_rate/net_rate but every query (fetch job,
bookability, competitors) uses rate_gross/rate_net — rename the
columns, with an idempotent DO-block migration for existing tables
- roll back the session when a date fails so one bad statement no
longer poisons the whole sync run (every subsequent write was dying
with 'current transaction is aborted')

The rates Newbook instance returns categories as category_id/category_name
on each site; also skip inactive categories.

- require_cap was a Depends-factory but every call site uses it inline;
make it an inline checker (fixes 500 on /analysis/hotels, /direct/*)
- /analysis/comparison returned a per-date matrix the frontend never read;
return per-hotel aggregates (our/their avg, price index) and default to
all active competitors so the Market Comparison table works without params
- Room categories were never populated (lost in port): add sites_list fetch
to the Newbook client, categories list/sync/toggle endpoints, and a
Settings card — without included categories every rates sync exits early

- RateAnalysis: null guard on price_incl in timeline trace
- Layout: explicit null check on alertCount, use ?? for user.name
