Other information

Race pages expose source-native venue, race number and title labels; linked horse/profile and breeding information is documented in the consolidated Thoroughbred report. FormCrawler stores raw HTML only.

End-to-end crawl verification

On 2026-08-08 the complete Düsseldorf meeting of 2 August 2026 ran without a target limit and captured all 9 pre-race and 9 post-race pages. The queue completed 18/18 with matching immutable artifacts and FormParser handoffs and no retries or failures.

The first complete run exposed that completed s=S pages rewrite sibling links to s=R. Adapter v1.2.0 now preserves the lifecycle of a race-page seed during meeting expansion. A focused regression test and the complete 9/9 rerun passed.

Changelog

• 2026-08-08: Added official race-calendar traversal and verified s=S pre-race capture while retaining s=R results.
• 2026-08-07: Added result discovery, Unicode operational labels and complete-meeting verification.
