TIP Immediate Equivalence Revalidation + Crawlee Binding

Date: 2026-05-09 Actor: Codex

Operator Request

The operator asked to immediately verify and validate all open TIP work and to check whether products really match 1:1. The operator also asked to install, use and bind Crawlee/Crawlee-Python, with all crawler/scraper/robot learning recorded for TIPLLM.

Crawlee Binding

Pushed to Gitea:

• 60531b6 feat: add crawlee python worker integration
• 49f0871 chore: ignore crawlee python build artifacts

Added:

• packages/crawlee-python/
• scripts/setup-crawlee-python-worker.sh
• docs/TIP_CRAWLEE_RUNTIME.md
• scraper scripts:
  • pnpm -C packages/scraper scrape:fs:db-detail
  • pnpm -C packages/scraper scrape:fs:url-discovery

Policy:

• TypeScript Crawlee/Playwright remains the TIP production crawler core.
• Crawlee-Python is optional for Pi/Proxmox/residential workers and writes JSONL evidence only.
• Crawlee-Python does not write directly to TIP DB.
• No external AI was used.

Smoke test:

• Installed crawlee==1.6.3 in /tmp/tip-crawlee-python-venv.
• Ran tip_crawlee_worker against https://crawlee.dev.
• JSONL evidence output succeeded.

Equivalence Revalidation

Preflight:

• pending=0
• approved=1986
• auto_approved=32080
• rejected=148367
• due_research=0
• active approved/auto-approved matches: 34066

Strict DB preflight over all active matches:

• no recent-price gaps: 0
• hard technical mismatches: 0
• missing critical 1:1 evidence: 0

Hard criteria checked:

• recent competitor price evidence
• form factor
• speed
• fiber type
• reach ratio
• primary wavelength

Action:

• Marked all 34066 active approved/auto_approved equivalences as immediately due.
• Queued 18 PgBoss jobs for maintenance:re-research-equivalences.
• Used the existing DB-only TIP research worker.
• No browser crawler wave was started.

Result:

• 18/18 jobs completed.
• due_research=0
• active_researched_today=34066
• no automated-research rejections in this immediate pass
• final queue:
  • pending=0
  • approved=1986
  • auto_approved=32080
  • rejected=148367

Final product verification counters:

• competitor_verified=11470
• price_verified=11557
• image_verified=10711
• details_verified=9929
• fully_verified=9135
• total transceivers: 17647

TIP health after run:

• status: healthy
• load status: ok
• memory used: 13%
• API/DB connected

Truth For Next Agent

The manual equivalence queue is empty and all active equivalence matches have just been rechecked by deterministic 1:1 rules.

This does not mean every product row in TIP is fully complete. Product verification gaps remain vendor-specific crawler/enrichment work. Largest remaining gaps are outside the already-focused Flexoptix and FS.com passes, especially ATGBICS, NADDOD, GAO Tek, Juniper/Cisco, Ascent Optics, Eoptolink and other vendor/catalog rows.

Do not start a broad browser crawler wave on Erik. Continue vendor-targeted, low-concurrency jobs or move heavier discovery to Pi/Proxmox workers.
