Response body caps:
- webclaw-fetch::Response::from_wreq now rejects bodies over 50 MB. Checks
Content-Length up front (before the allocation) and the actual
.bytes() length after (belt-and-braces against lying upstreams).
Previously the HTML -> markdown conversion downstream could allocate
multiple String copies per page; a 100 MB page would OOM the process.
- webclaw-llm providers (anthropic/openai/ollama) share a new
response_json_capped helper with a 5 MB cap. Protects against a
malicious or runaway provider response exhausting memory.
Crawler frontier cap: after each BFS depth level the frontier is
truncated to max(max_pages * 10, 100) entries, keeping the most
recently discovered links. Dense pages (tag clouds, search results)
used to push the frontier into the tens of thousands even after
max_pages halted new fetches.
Glob pattern validation: user-supplied include_patterns /
exclude_patterns are rejected at Crawler::new if they contain more
than 4 `**` wildcards or exceed 1024 chars. The backtracking matcher
degrades exponentially on deeply-nested `**` against long paths.
Cleanup:
- Removed blanket #![allow(dead_code)] from webclaw-cli/src/main.rs;
no warnings surfaced, the suppression was obsolete.
- core/.gitignore: replaced overbroad *.json with specific local-
artifact patterns (previous rule would have swallowed package.json,
components.json, .smithery/*.json).
Tests: +4 validate_glob tests. Full workspace test: 283 passed
(webclaw-core + webclaw-fetch + webclaw-llm).
Version: 0.3.15 -> 0.3.16
CHANGELOG updated.

Crawls are same-origin by default. Enable allow_subdomains to follow
sibling/child subdomains (blog.example.com from example.com), or
allow_external_links for full cross-origin crawling.
Root domain extraction uses a heuristic that handles two-part TLDs
(co.uk, com.au). Includes 5 unit tests for root_domain().
Bump to 0.3.12.
