Pull request overview
This PR adds a comprehensive test suite to validate the web scraping functionality across all 12 competitive programming platforms. The system uses mocking to simulate HTTP responses, enabling validation without external network dependencies.
Changes:
- Added 58+ automated tests covering API parsing, web scraping patterns, fallback mechanisms, error handling, and sanity checks
- Created test infrastructure including master test runner and CI workflow
- Added comprehensive documentation explaining the testing approach

The if-else branches have identical code. The is_json parameter serves no purpose in this function and creates unnecessary complexity. Consider removing the parameter or implementing different behavior for JSON responses if needed.

The web scraping system lacked validation. Added 58+ tests to verify pattern matching, API parsing, fallback mechanisms, and error handling work correctly across all 12 platforms.
