+# Warhammer Community RSS Scraper
+
+A production-ready Python application that scrapes the Warhammer Community website and generates an RSS feed from the latest articles.
+
+## Overview
+
+This project provides a robust, secure, and scalable RSS scraper for the Warhammer Community website. It features comprehensive error handling, caching, rate limiting, and security measures suitable for production deployment.
+
+## Features
+

+
+```bash
+# Scraping Configuration
+MAX_SCROLL_ITERATIONS=5      # Number of scroll iterations
+MAX_CONTENT_SIZE=10485760    # Maximum content size (10MB)
+SCROLL_DELAY_SECONDS=2.0     # Delay between scrolls
+PAGE_TIMEOUT_MS=120000       # Page load timeout
+
+# Security Configuration
+ALLOWED_DOMAINS="warhammer-community.com,www.warhammer-community.com"
+MAX_TITLE_LENGTH=500         # Maximum title length
+
+# Output Configuration
+DEFAULT_OUTPUT_DIR="."       # Default output directory
+RSS_FILENAME="warhammer_rss_feed.xml"
+DEBUG_HTML_FILENAME="page.html"
+
+# Feed Metadata
+FEED_TITLE="Warhammer Community RSS Feed"
+FEED_DESCRIPTION="Latest Warhammer Community Articles"
+```
+
+### Cache Management
+
+```bash
+# View cache status
+python main.py --cache-info
+
+# Clear cache
+python main.py --clear-cache
+
+# Disable caching for a run
+python main.py --no-cache
+```

+
+## Output Files
+
+The application generates:
+- `warhammer_rss_feed.xml` - RSS feed with extracted articles
+- `page.html` - Raw HTML for debugging (optional)
+- `scraper.log` - Application logs
+- `cache/` - Cached content and ETags
+
+## Testing
+
+Run the comprehensive test suite:
+
+```bash
+# Run all tests
+pytest
+
+# Run with coverage
+pytest --cov=src/rss_scraper
+
+# Run specific test categories
+pytest -m unit              # Unit tests only
+pytest tests/test_parser.py  # Specific module
+```
+
+## Error Handling
+
+The application uses specific exit codes for different error types:
+
+- `0` - Success
+- `1` - Configuration/Validation error
+- `2` - Network error
+- `3` - Page loading error
+- `4` - Content parsing error
+- `5` - File operation error
+- `6` - Content size exceeded
+- `99` - Unexpected error
+
+## Security Considerations
+
+### Allowed Domains
+The scraper only operates on whitelisted domains:
+- `warhammer-community.com`
+- `www.warhammer-community.com`
+
+### Rate Limiting
+- Default: 30 requests per minute
+- Minimum delay: 2 seconds between requests
+- Configurable via environment variables
+
+### Content Sanitization
+- HTML content sanitized using bleach
+- Dangerous scripts and patterns removed
+- File paths validated against directory traversal
+- URL validation against malicious patterns
+
+## Deployment
+
+### Production Deployment
+
+1. **Environment Setup**:
+```bash
+# Create production environment file
+cat > .env << EOF
+MAX_SCROLL_ITERATIONS=3
+SCROLL_DELAY_SECONDS=3.0
+DEFAULT_OUTPUT_DIR=/app/data
+LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+EOF
+```
+
+2. **Docker Compose** (recommended):
+```yaml
+version: '3.8'
+services:
+  rss-scraper:
+    build: .
+    environment:
+      - MAX_SCROLL_ITERATIONS=3
+      - LOG_LEVEL=INFO
+    volumes:
+      - ./output:/app/output
+      - ./logs:/app/logs
+    restart: unless-stopped
+    memory: 512m
+    cpus: 0.5
+```
+
+3. **Cron Schedule**:
+```bash
+# Add to crontab for regular updates
+0 */6 * * * docker run --rm -v /path/to/output:/app/output warhammer-rss
+```
+
+## Development
+
+### Setup Development Environment
+
+```bash
+# Install development dependencies
+pip install -r requirements.txt
+pip install pytest pytest-cov black isort
+
+# Install pre-commit hooks (optional)
+pre-commit install
+
+# Run tests
+pytest
+
+# Format code
+black src/ tests/
+isort src/ tests/
+```
+
+### Adding New Features
+
+1. Follow the modular architecture
+2. Add type hints to all functions
+3. Include comprehensive error handling
+4. Write tests for new functionality
+5. Update configuration if needed
+6. Document changes in README
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+### Common Issues
+
+1. **Permission Errors**:
+   - Ensure output directory is writable
+   - Use proper Docker volume mounting
+
+2. **Memory Issues**:
+   - Reduce `MAX_SCROLL_ITERATIONS`
+   - Increase Docker memory limits
+
+3. **Rate Limiting**:
+   - Increase `SCROLL_DELAY_SECONDS`
+   - Check network connectivity
+
+4. **Cache Issues**:
+   - Clear cache with `--clear-cache`
+   - Check cache directory permissions
+
+### Debug Mode
+
+```bash
+# Enable debug logging
+python main.py --log-level DEBUG
+
+# Disable caching for testing
+python main.py --no-cache --log-level DEBUG
+```
