- Add browserless/chromium container to docker-compose - Add docker-compose.dev.yml for local dev (Chromium on port 3001) - Browser scraper connects via WebSocket (CHROMIUM_WS env var) - Falls back to local launch if CHROMIUM_WS not set - Remove Chromium install from Dockerfile (smaller image) - Auto-reconnect on browser disconnect Tested: remote Chromium connects in ~500ms, HG Spot scrapes in ~2.2s total. No longer blocks the Node.js event loop. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.6 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
