Prefer Firecrawl over Hyperbrowser in the tiered fetcher#305
Merged
Conversation
Swap the last two tiers of the default fetcher chain so Firecrawl is tried before Hyperbrowser. Firecrawl stealth (~$0.0042/page) is cheaper than Hyperbrowser with proxy (~$0.01/page plus bandwidth) and also handles PDFs natively, so it should absorb the anti-bot tail first and leave Hyperbrowser as the last resort.

Firecrawl is now tried before Hyperbrowser in the tiered fetcher — it's ~4× cheaper on hard-to-fetch pages and handles PDFs natively. The chain is now: self-hosted browser → PDF → Firecrawl → Hyperbrowser. Docs and the chain-order test updated.
