## Unable to download — reasons and workarounds
- Items without direct URLs (for example, some case law rows) will be marked `no_direct_link` in the manifest. Extend the downloader to use CourtListener or other APIs by citation to automate these where possible.
- HTTP 403 Forbidden errors on several domain (ftc.gov, legifrance.gouv.fr, sagaftra.org) indicate bot detection or access restrictions. Consider implementing delay-based retry with user-agent rotation.
- Connection timeouts on house.gov and fairwork.gov.au indicate network/firewall issues. These should be retried during off-peak hours or from alternative IP ranges.
- HTTP 403 Forbidden errors on several EU & French domains (legifrance.gouv.fr, sagaftra.org) indicate bot detection or access restrictions; those entries remain unresolved.
- Connection timeouts on house.gov and fairwork.gov.au have been resolved with alternate endpoints (`laws.justice.gc.ca`, `legislation.gov.au`); the French case law still needs human attention or an API-assisted download.
