docs: record the two new sources and the shapes they added

Browse Source 
Nine sources across eight games now, two more Game8 page shapes, two more
date formats, and the h4 rule that neither game's page can be read
without.

Also notes what the two new games do *not* have: no `resetOffsets` entry,
so both take the regional default. Neither source states a server map, and
`resetOffsets` feeds `dayKey`, which is a localStorage key — so that is
recorded as an assumption to confirm rather than left to look like a
verified fact.

`parseOpenRange` is tried last because it is the most permissive — it accepts any leading full date
and reports no end.
The last two are anchored at both ends and require a year on each half, which is what keeps them from
eating prose. `August 12, 2026 Day 3 rewards are doubled` would otherwise read "Day 3" as an end, and
`June 25, 2026 July 16/30, 2026` names *two* candidate ends — so it takes neither, and the leftover is
not shown as a summary either (a date the parser refused to trust must not reappear dressed as
information).

(`Period: 08/09/26 - 08/30/26 During the event...`). *(Arknights: Endfield)*
5. **Rowspan Start/End pairs** — the event name spans two rows, so a flat cell reader sees
`[title, "Start", date]` then `["End", date]`. *(Zenless Zone Zero)*
6. **Labelled cells** — one cell holding `Start: <date>` and `End: <date>` split by a `<br>`, where
the end half is often the word `Permanent`. *(Infinity Nikki)*
7. **`<hr>`-separated pairs** — a `Event | Duration` table whose two dates are divided by a rule
rather than a dash, so a tag-stripping reader sees only whitespace between them. The same page
repeats each live event under its own `h3` with `Start Date` / `End Date` rows and a paragraph of
prose; those corroborate the dates and supply the blurb the flat table lacks.

Shapes 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7 are handled. Before assuming a new Game8 page will work, dump its heading/table
structure and check which shape it uses — and check **every** table, not just the obvious one.
Endfield was written off as undatable on a first pass that only inspected its `Duration` rows; its
two real events were in a table further down.
**Check what ends a section, too.** Headings decide inclusion and the level is not consistent: Persona
5 puts its whole finished back catalogue behind an `<h4>Finished Events</h4>` inside a collapsed
accordion, so a reader that ignores `h4` publishes fifty dead events. Genshin uses `h4` the opposite
way — for sub-headings *within* one event ("Availability Period") — so an unrecognised `h4` gates the
section but must never claim the event title.
