# Inlander Restaurant Week Picker - Project Memory

## Quick Reference
- See `scraping-guide.md` for full year-scraping instructions and script templates
- See `html-structures.md` for HTML parsing patterns per restaurant type
- Project dir: `\\WinServ-20-3.chns.local\Profiles\derekc\Documents\Coding Projects\Gitea-CooperandGoodman-Inlander-Restaurant-Week-Picker\Inlander-Restaurant-Week-Picker`

## Key Constraints (CRITICAL)
- **WebFetch cannot access web.archive.org** — use `curl` via Bash tool instead
- **PowerShell cannot run scripts from UNC paths** (\\server\...) — always `cp` scripts to local temp first
- **bash `/tmp`** = `C:\Users\DEREKC~1.CHN\AppData\Local\Temp` (8.3 short name)
- **PowerShell temp** = `C:\Users\derekc.CHNSLocal\AppData\Local\Temp` (long name) — same dir, different string
- **Wayback Machine rate limits** to ~20 requests before throttling with 429; use 3-5 sec delays, wait 30+ min after getting blocked

## JSON Schema
Each entry in `YEAR-restaurants.json`:
```json
{
  "name": "Restaurant Name",
  "slug": "restaurantslug",
  "price": 45,
  "areas": ["Downtown"],
  "cuisine": "American",
  "url": "https://inlanderrestaurantweek.com/project/SLUG/",
  "menu": {
    "hours": "Menu served 5pm-close",
    "phone": "(509) 555-1234",
    "courses": {
      "First Course": [{"name": "Dish Name", "desc": "Description"}],
      "Second Course": [...],
      "Third Course": [...]
    }
  }
}
```
Price is always 25, 35, or 45. gardenparty genuinely has 4 Third Course options.

## 2025 Data Status — COMPLETE
