+
+### Database
+| File | Purpose | Status |

+## GraphQL Hashes (CRITICAL)
+
+The correct hashes are in `src/platforms/dutchie/client.ts`:
+
+```typescript
+export const GRAPHQL_HASHES = {
+  FilteredProducts: 'ee29c060826dc41c527e470e9ae502c9b2c169720faa0a9f5d25e1b9a530a4a0',

+```
+
+**ALWAYS** use `Status: 'Active'` for FilteredProducts (not `null` or `'All'`).

+## Common Mistakes to Avoid
+
+1. **Don't use `src/hydration/`** - It's an old approach that was superseded by the task system
+
+2. **Don't use `src/dutchie-az/db/connection.ts`** - Use `src/db/pool.ts` instead
+
+3. **Don't import `src/db/migrate.ts` at runtime** - It will crash. Only use for CLI migrations.
+
+4. **Don't query `stores` table** - It's empty. Use `dispensaries`.
+
+5. **Don't query `products` table** - It's empty. Use `store_products`.
+
+6. **Don't use wrong GraphQL hash** - Always get hash from `GRAPHQL_HASHES` in client.ts
+
+7. **Don't use `Status: null`** - It returns 0 products. Use `Status: 'Active'`.
+
+---
+
+## When in Doubt
+
+1. Check if the file is imported in `src/index.ts` - if not, it may be deprecated
+2. Check the last modified date - older files may be stale
+3. Look for `DEPRECATED` comments in the code
+4. Ask: "Is there a newer version of this in `src/tasks/` or `src/platforms/`?"
+5. Read the relevant doc in `docs/` before modifying code

+# Organic Browser-Based Scraping Guide
+
+**Last Updated:** 2025-12-12
+**Status:** Production-ready proof of concept
+
+---
+
+## Overview
+
+This document describes the "organic" browser-based approach to scraping Dutchie dispensary menus. Unlike direct curl/axios requests, this method uses a real browser session to make API calls, making requests appear natural and reducing detection risk.
+
+---
+
+## Why Organic Scraping?
+
+| Approach | Detection Risk | Speed | Complexity |
+|----------|---------------|-------|------------|
+| Direct curl | Higher | Fast | Low |
+| curl-impersonate | Medium | Fast | Medium |
+| **Browser-based (organic)** | **Lowest** | Slower | Higher |
+
+Direct curl requests can be fingerprinted via:
+- TLS fingerprint (cipher suites, extensions)
+- Header order and values
+- Missing cookies/session data
+- Request patterns
+
+Browser-based requests inherit:
+- Real Chrome TLS fingerprint
+- Session cookies from page visit
+- Natural header order
+- JavaScript execution environment
+
+---
+
+## Implementation
+
+### Dependencies
+
+```bash
+npm install puppeteer puppeteer-extra puppeteer-extra-plugin-stealth
+```
+
+### Core Script: `test-intercept.js`
+
+Located at: `backend/test-intercept.js`
+
+```javascript
+const puppeteer = require('puppeteer-extra');

+## Critical Parameters
+
+### GraphQL Hash (FilteredProducts)
+
+```
+ee29c060826dc41c527e470e9ae502c9b2c169720faa0a9f5d25e1b9a530a4a0
+```
+
+**WARNING:** Using the wrong hash returns HTTP 400.
+
+### Status Parameter
+
+| Value | Result |
+|-------|--------|
+| `'Active'` | Returns in-stock products (1019 in test) |
+| `null` | Returns 0 products |
+| `'All'` | Returns HTTP 400 |
+
+**ALWAYS use `Status: 'Active'`**
+
+### Required Headers
+
+```javascript
+{
+  'Accept': 'application/json',
+  'content-type': 'application/json',
+  'x-dutchie-session': 'unique-session-id',
+  'apollographql-client-name': 'Marketplace (production)',
+}
+```
+
+### Endpoint
+
+```
+https://dutchie.com/api-3/graphql
+```
+
+---
+
+## Performance Benchmarks
+
+Test store: AZ-Deeply-Rooted (1019 products)
+
+| Metric | Value |
+|--------|-------|
+| Total products | 1019 |
+| Time | 18.5 seconds |
+| Payload size | 11.8 MB |
+| Pages fetched | 11 (100 per page) |
+| Success rate | 100% |
+
+---
+
+## Payload Format
+
+The output matches the existing `payload-fetch.ts` handler format:
+
+```json
+{
+  "dispensaryId": 123,
+  "platformId": "6405ef617056e8014d79101b",
+  "cName": "AZ-Deeply-Rooted",
+  "fetchedAt": "2025-12-12T05:05:19.837Z",
+  "productCount": 1019,
+  "products": [
+    {
+      "id": "6927508db4851262f629a869",
+      "Name": "Product Name",
+      "brand": { "name": "Brand Name", ... },
+      "type": "Flower",
+      "THC": "25%",
+      "Prices": [...],
+      "Options": [...],
+      ...
+    }
+  ]
+}
+```
+
+---
+
+## Integration Points
+
+### As a Task Handler
+
+The organic approach can be integrated as an alternative to curl-based fetching:
+
+```typescript
+// In src/tasks/handlers/organic-payload-fetch.ts
+export async function handleOrganicPayloadFetch(ctx: TaskContext): Promise<TaskResult> {
+  // Use puppeteer-based capture
+  // Save to same payload storage
+  // Queue product_refresh task
+}
+```
+
+### Worker Configuration
+
+Add to job_schedules:
+```sql
+INSERT INTO job_schedules (name, role, cron_expression)
+VALUES ('organic_product_crawl', 'organic_payload_fetch', '0 */6 * * *');
+```
+
+---
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### HTTP 400 Bad Request
+- Check hash is correct: `ee29c060...`
+- Verify Status is `'Active'` (string, not null)
+
+### 0 Products Returned
+- Status was likely `null` or `'All'` - use `'Active'`
+- Check platformId is valid MongoDB ObjectId
+
+### Session Not Established
+- Increase timeout on initial page.goto()
+- Check cName is valid (matches embedded-menu URL)
+
+### Detection/Blocking
+- StealthPlugin should handle most cases
+- Add random delays between pages
+- Use headless: 'new' (not true/false)

+
+### Environment Variables
+
+| Variable | Default | Description |
+|----------|---------|-------------|
+| `MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS` | 3 | Maximum tasks a worker will run concurrently |
+| `MEMORY_BACKOFF_THRESHOLD` | 0.85 | Back off when heap memory exceeds 85% |
+| `CPU_BACKOFF_THRESHOLD` | 0.90 | Back off when CPU exceeds 90% |
+| `BACKOFF_DURATION_MS` | 10000 | How long to wait when backing off (10s) |
+
+### How It Works
+
+1. **Main Loop**: Worker continuously tries to fill up to `MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS`
+2. **Resource Monitoring**: Before claiming a new task, worker checks memory and CPU
+3. **Backoff**: If resources exceed thresholds, worker pauses and stops claiming new tasks
+4. **Concurrent Execution**: Tasks run in parallel using `Promise` - they don't block each other
+5. **Graceful Shutdown**: On SIGTERM/decommission, worker stops claiming but waits for active tasks
+
+### Resource Monitoring
+
+```typescript
+// ResourceStats interface
+interface ResourceStats {
+  memoryPercent: number;    // Current heap usage as decimal (0.0-1.0)
+  memoryMb: number;         // Current heap used in MB
+  memoryTotalMb: number;    // Total heap available in MB
+  cpuPercent: number;       // CPU usage as percentage (0-100)
+  isBackingOff: boolean;    // True if worker is in backoff state
+  backoffReason: string;    // Why the worker is backing off
+}
+```
+
+### Heartbeat Data
+
+Workers report the following in their heartbeat:
+
+```json
+{
+  "worker_id": "worker-abc123",
+  "current_task_id": 456,
+  "current_task_ids": [456, 457, 458],
+  "active_task_count": 3,
+  "max_concurrent_tasks": 3,
+  "status": "active",
+  "resources": {
+    "memory_mb": 256,
+    "memory_total_mb": 512,
+    "memory_rss_mb": 320,
+    "memory_percent": 50,
+    "cpu_user_ms": 12500,
+    "cpu_system_ms": 3200,
+    "cpu_percent": 45,
+    "is_backing_off": false,
+    "backoff_reason": null
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Backoff Behavior
+
+When resources exceed thresholds:
+
+1. Worker logs the backoff reason:
+   ```
+   [TaskWorker] MyWorker backing off: Memory at 87.3% (threshold: 85%)
+   ```
+
+2. Worker stops claiming new tasks but continues existing tasks
+
+3. After `BACKOFF_DURATION_MS`, worker rechecks resources
+
+4. When resources return to normal:
+   ```
+   [TaskWorker] MyWorker resuming normal operation
+   ```
+
+### UI Display
+
+The Workers Dashboard shows:
+
+- **Tasks Column**: `2/3 tasks` (active/max concurrent)
+- **Resources Column**: Memory % and CPU % with color coding
+  - Green: < 50%
+  - Yellow: 50-74%
+  - Amber: 75-89%
+  - Red: 90%+
+- **Backing Off**: Orange warning badge when worker is in backoff state
+
+### Task Count Badge Details
+
+```
+┌─────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ Worker: "MyWorker"                          │
+│ Tasks: 2/3 tasks  #456, #457                │
+│ Resources: 🧠 65%  💻 45%                    │
+│ Status: ● Active                            │
+└─────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+### Best Practices
+
+1. **Start Conservative**: Use `MAX_CONCURRENT_TASKS=3` initially
+2. **Monitor Resources**: Watch for frequent backoffs in logs
+3. **Tune Per Workload**: I/O-bound tasks benefit from higher concurrency
+4. **Scale Horizontally**: Add more pods rather than cranking concurrency too high

+   *
+   * Workflow:
+   * 1. Task is created with scheduled_for = NOW() + (index * staggerSeconds)

+   * 5. If preflight fails, task is released back to pending for another worker
+   * 6. Worker finishes task, polls for next available task
+   * 7. Repeat - preflight runs again on next task claim
+   *
+   * Benefits:
+   * - Prevents all 8 workers from hitting proxies simultaneously
+   * - Reduces API rate limiting / 403 errors
+   * - Spreads resource usage over time
+   * - Each task still runs preflight, ensuring proxy health
