-| `agent` (structured extract) | Agent reasoning + graphify, or site-specific selectors |
-| `parse` (local PDF) | Dedicated doc tools (pypdf, markitdown) |

 ## Ethics
 
 Respect site terms and rate limits. SERP scraping is for dev research, not high-volume harvesting.
-See [Scrapling ethical considerations](https://scrapling.readthedocs.io/en/latest/cli/extract-commands.html#legal-and-ethical-considerations).
-
-## Drawbacks of default stealth scrape
-
-Higher latency and RAM (Chromium per session). Use `--fast` for static docs; reuse one `bulk-scrape` run (single `StealthySession`) instead of many cold starts.
