Parsers are keyed by site template, not game: one Game8 parser serves
every Game8 page, and adapters bind a URL and game to a parser. Adding a
source for a known site is one SOURCES entry.
Game8 uses at least three templates. This handles label/value detail
tables (Genshin, 9 events) and column tables (NTE, 13 events). Its
image-grid schedule has no year and no end date, so Arknights: Endfield
is not supportable from that source and gets no adapter.
canParse is a structural tripwire: a site redesign fails the run loudly
instead of publishing an empty calendar that reads as "no events".

Every date function returns null rather than inferring a missing year,
month or end date. A source that does not state an end yields
endsAt: null, never a plausible guess — a confidently wrong end date is
the failure this product exists to prevent.
Handles the three formats seen on Game8: "August 12, 2026",
"August 12 - September 21, 2026" (year applies to both ends, rolling the
start back when the range crosses New Year), and a slash datetime range.
Abbreviated months parse too, so a source switching to "Apr. 29" does not
silently drop events.
