A self-healing scraper loop: detects when a site redesign breaks selectors, derives replacements from the last good run's data, and only ships a repair after re-verifying it on the live page. 🤖 Generated with Codebuff Co-Authored-By: Codebuff <noreply@codebuff.com>

Adds scrape-heal to the JavaScript list.
It's a small TypeScript/Playwright loop that solves the boring problem most scrapers hit:
the site redesigns, the selectors stop matching, nothing errors, and you notice a week
later when the spreadsheet comes back empty. It remembers what the last good run looked
like, detects when the output shape drifts, repairs the selectors by finding the elements
that still contain the known-good data, and only ships the repair after re-verifying the
extraction on the live page. Includes a watchdog mode that alerts the moment a run goes red.
Try it in one command (Node ≥ 20) — no clone, no config:
(one-time:
npx playwright install chromium— the loop drives a real browser)MIT, TypeScript, no runtime deps beyond Playwright, CI-green test suite (31 tests).
Happy to adjust the description if the one-line format needs to be tighter.
