edemocracy.coventry.gov.uk times out from Lambda when accessed with wreq's Firefox133 TLS fingerprint — the WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake. The endpoint returns valid ModGov XML from non-Lambda IPs (confirmed via proxy: 302 → mgError.aspx, server is up). Playwright's Chrome TLS fingerprint bypasses the WAF, same pattern as HAL, TON, MON, HNS, and others recently fixed.

What broke
edemocracy.coventry.gov.uktimes out from Lambda when accessed with wreq's Firefox133 TLS fingerprint. The server's WAF drops the connection during the TLS handshake before returning any response. The endpoint is working correctly from non-Lambda IPs (confirmed via proxy: 302 redirect received, server is up, ModGov XML available). This is the same WAF fingerprint block pattern seen on HAL (#400), TON (#402), MON (#401), GED, STR, and others.What was fixed
http_lib = "playwright"to the Scraper class — Playwright's headless Chromium uses Chrome's TLS fingerprint which passes the WAF, allowing the ModGov XML endpoint to be reached.Scrape results
