Notes

• search, pharmacies, cities, and test use plain HTTP — fast, no browser needed
• stock uses Puppeteer to drive the real Clalit web app UI — takes ~5–10 seconds
• Puppeteer downloads Chromium (~300 MB) automatically on first npm install
• The stock check works by pre-fetching the JS bundle and interacting with the React app, bypassing Imperva's headless-browser detection
