Lucas WintherandClaude Opus 5 c85ec0b2d1 fix: harden the fetch pipeline for a real server
A review of code that has never made a live request. Each of these was
reproduced before it was fixed.

robots.txt matched a group by testing whether our whole User-Agent
contained the group's name. Our contact URL carries "StereotypicalCat",
so a wiki writing `User-agent: cat` matched us — and because a named
group *replaces* the wildcard group, that silently discarded every rule
under `User-agent: *`. Match the RFC 9309 product token instead. A 200
carrying an HTML "not found" page also parsed to zero rules and read as
permission; it now fails closed, while a genuinely empty body still
means "no restrictions".

The response body was read outside the try that guarded the request, so
one truncated body aborted the whole cycle: later sources were never
fetched, and the failed source never recorded its check, meaning a
re-dispatch would ask that wiki again minutes later.

Bodies were decoded as UTF-8 unconditionally and stored re-encoded. A
page served in a legacy charset became replacement characters with the
original bytes gone — and mojibake in a title flows into slugify and
moves every localStorage key for that source. Decode by the declared
charset, keep the served bytes verbatim, and hash those.

Unchanged bytes skipped the metadata write, so once a server rotated its
ETag we sent a stale validator forever and it served full bodies instead
of 304s.

Also: snapshot writes go through a temp file and a rename, and `--only`
with no value is an argument error rather than "all sources".
