Fix EXE (Exeter) scraper

[symroe]

What broke

committees.exeter.gov.uk accepts TCP/TLS connections from Lambda but silently drops HTTP requests — wreq times out after 30 seconds with kind: Request, source: TimedOut on the HTML list page (mgMemberIndex.aspx). The same page returns HTTP 200 OK from non-Lambda IPs. This is an application-layer block on wreq's Firefox TLS fingerprint.

A previous fix (PR #387, June 2026) added http_lib = "playwright" but was closed without merging. EXE is still failing as of 2026-07-14 with the same timeout pattern.

What was fixed

• councillors.py: added http_lib = "playwright" — headless Chromium's Chrome TLS fingerprint bypasses the application-layer block for both the list page and all individual councillor detail page fetches.

Scrape results

Verified from live site (our proxy environment returns 200 OK):

Metric	Count
Councillors found	63 (visible on list page)
With email address	TBC (Lambda run needed; detail pages confirmed to have mailto: links)
With photo	39 have thumbnails on list page; remaining 24 may have photos on detail pages not checked here

Note: exact email and photo counts require a Lambda run since individual detail pages must be fetched sequentially; a sample detail page (mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=5824) confirmed email and larger photo are present.

Re-scrape after 6062d4e

Added http_lib = "playwright" to bypass application-layer timeout on committees.exeter.gov.uk.

Verified from live site (proxy environment, 200 OK):

Metric	Count
Councillors found	63
With email address	TBC (Lambda run needed; mailto: links confirmed on sample detail page mgUserInfo.aspx?UID=5824)
With photo	39 have thumbnails on list page (24 may have photos only on detail pages)

Exact email and photo counts will be confirmed after the next Lambda run with Playwright.
