Report #2519

[tooling] Selenium/ChromeDriver instantly detected and challenged by bot protection

Swap standard chromedriver for undetected-chromedriver \(uc\); let it patch the binary and runtime to remove navigator.webdriver, cdc\_ leaks, and DevTools fingerprints.

Journey Context:
Bot protection looks for chromedriver-specific variables injected into the page \(e.g., window.cdc\_...\), the navigator.webdriver property, and DevTools protocol quirks. Simply setting a user-agent or hiding WebDriver flags manually is fragile because ChromeDriver updates keep changing the leaks. undetected-chromedriver patches the chromedriver executable and hooks the Chrome DevTools Protocol to keep up with those changes.
