DESKTOP-RTLN3BA\$punk 62260125f7 feat(03b): add BYO custom proxy provider + bounded crawler rotation-retry 
Add CustomProxyProvider (single endpoint or rotating pool via Scrapling ProxyRotator), registered as 'custom' alongside anonymous_proxies and selectable via PROXY_PROVIDER. Adds is_pool_backed to the ProxyProvider ABC + a zero-arg package helper. The web crawler does a bounded one-per-tier is_proxy_error rotation-retry gated on is_pool_backed() (single-endpoint providers no-op). Config/.env.example gain CUSTOM_PROXY_URL(S). Zero-arg getter contract unchanged for all consumers. Documents the proprietary boundary test (generic proxy infra stays Apache-2). Tests: provider, registry, crawler rotation (16).

app.proprietary — non-Apache-2 license boundary

Everything in this directory tree is licensed separately from the rest of SurfSense (which is Apache-2.0). See LICENSE.

Why this exists

This package holds the product moat:

  • the in-house undetectable web crawler (Scrapling tiers + stealth/captcha hardening), and
  • (future) platform-specific actors that scrape/extract structured data from individual platforms.

Keeping it in one clearly-named directory makes the license boundary unambiguous: a single rule — everything under app/proprietary/** is not Apache-2.0 — instead of per-file headers scattered across the tree.

Layout

  • web_crawler/ — the Scrapling-based crawler engine. Public API: WebCrawlerConnector, CrawlOutcome, CrawlOutcomeStatus (from app.proprietary.web_crawler import ...).
  • platforms/ — (future, Phase 8) platform-specific actors; scaffolded/empty.

Rules

  • Do not add Apache-2.0-intended code here.
  • Apache-2.0 code elsewhere may import from this package (the indexer and the chat scrape_webpage tools do); that does not move them under this license.
  • Depend only on the public API exported from each subpackage's __init__, not on internal modules, so the boundary stays clean and swappable.
  • Boundary test: put code here only if it is used exclusively by the moat. Generic infrastructure that Apache-2 features also depend on stays Apache-2 even when the crawler uses it too. Example: app/utils/proxy/ (provider abstraction, registry, CustomProxyProvider + rotation — a thin wrapper over Scrapling's public ProxyRotator) is shared with the YouTube/transcript and chat features, so it stays Apache-2; only the crawl-ladder-coupled rotation-retry orchestration (web_crawler/connector.py::_run_tier_with_proxy_retry) lives here.
