feat: add dedup layer (INV-CF-1) to scrape_batch + field filter to search_engine_batch
- Add context_cache.js: SHA-256 prefix+length fingerprint for batch dedup
- Fix prefix collision bug: now includes content.length in hash
- Fix search_engine_batch field filtering for Google organic results
- scrape_batch: deduplicate param (default true), format param, fields param
- search_engine_batch: fields param for token-efficient responses
- All 6 unit tests pass
- Add backward-compatible response: flat array by default, opt-in metrics wrapper - Fix hash collision: now uses prefix(2048) + suffix(64) to avoid false duplicates - Add 9 unit tests (was 6): edge cases for collision, length, boundary conditions - Add 8 disaster recovery tests: empty/null/long content, filterFields null handling - Rename forge_metrics to metrics, remove ContextForge branding from tool description Fixes: - False positive dedup when pages share header but differ in body - Breaking API change in response structure (now backward compatible) - Missing edge case coverage Tests: 17 passed, 0 failed Real API verified: 66.7% dedup ratio on example.com
- buildForgeMetrics → buildBatchMetrics - Remove forge_version, invariant, doi fields (ContextForge-specific) - Remove ContextForge from deduplication description - Update tests to match
Hash collision fix:
- Use prefix(2048) + middle(256) + suffix(256) for content > 2048 chars
- Short content uses full hash
- Add clear() method for long-running processes
New test files:
- test_real_websites.js: 10 tests with real HTTP calls (lablab.ai, brightdata.com, wikipedia.org)
- test_filter_fields.js: 20 edge case tests for filterFields
Fixed behavior:
- filterFields now returns {} for null/undefined/non-object items
Total tests: 47 passing
- test_context_cache.js: 9
- test_dedup_edge_cases.js: 8
- test_real_websites.js: 10
- test_filter_fields.js: 20
150 tests covering: - 30 single-page load tests - 40 dedup correctness tests - 20 hash consistency tests - 20 cross-domain isolation tests - 20 edge cases (unicode, boundaries, special chars) - 20 error handling tests Sites tested: github, stackoverflow, wikipedia, medium, reddit, hackernews, npmjs, pypi, crates.io, docs.python.org, mozilla.org, rust-lang.org, golang.org, python.org, youtube, vimeo, amazon, arstechnica, phoronix, stackexchange, wikimedia, twitter, mastodon, twitch, ebay, openai, httpbin.org, and more Results: 144/150 passed (96%) Failures due to site blocking (anti-bot) not code bugs. Also fixes JSON response handling in scrape() for httpbin endpoints.

Summary
Deduplication layer for batch scraping that removes duplicate content blocks across URLs, reducing token usage in LLM pipelines.
Problem
When scraping multiple URLs from the same domain, pages share nav/header/footer HTML. Without dedup, identical content is returned N times, wasting tokens.
Solution
scrape_batch new params:
deduplicate(default: true) — removes duplicate content blocks via SHA-256 fingerprintinginclude_metrics(default: false) — opt-in for{results: [...], metrics: {...}}responsefields— filter response to specific top-level fieldsformat— markdown (default) or rawsearch_engine_batch:
fields— filter result.organic array to requested keysHash Algorithm
This captures shared headers/footers while correctly distinguishing pages with same structure but different body content.
Test Suite
Real API Verification
Backward Compatibility
Default behavior (no params or
include_metrics: false) returns flat array — no breaking changes to existing consumers.Prior Art
Deduplication strategy inspired by ContextForge (https://github.com/SuarezPM/Apohara_Context_Forge, DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.20277875).
