+Truths about Extractors:
+
+- Snapshot worker should handle:
+    - opening chrome tab for the snapshot > ./cdp_ws.sock
+    - waiting for the page to load
+    - emitting the ARCHIVING events:
+        - SNAPSHOT_SETUP
+        - SNAPSHOT_STARTED
+        - SNAPSHOT_BEFORE_BROWSER_LAUNCH
+        - SNAPSHOT_AFTER_BROWSER_LAUNCH
+        - SNAPSHOT_BEFORE_PAGE_LOAD
+        - SNAPSHOT_AFTER_PAGE_LOAD
+        - SNAPSHOT_AFTER_NETWORK_IDLE2
+    - extracting the page title
+    - extracting all the outlinks
+    - extracting all the search texts
+
+- Extractor Worker should handle:
+    - making sure any binaries the extractor depends on are installed and loaded
+    - creating a new temporary working directory under the snapshot dir to hold extractor output
+    - setting up a timer signal to kill the extractor if it runs too long
+    - passing the extractor the URLs, temporary working directory, and config dict of options
+    - running the extractor in a shell subprocess and collecting stdout/stderr
+    - capturing the extractor's exit code
+    - if extractor exits with 29 (RetryError), it should set the status to 'BACKOFF' and set retry_at to a datetime in the future
+    - if extractor exits with 50 (NotApplicable), it should set the status to 'SKIPPED', and set retry_at to None
+    - setting the correct permissions and ownership on all the output files
+    - generating the merkle tree of all the output files and their hashes
+    - generating a thumbnail of the main output (or collecting one provided by the extractor)
+    - detecting any special outputs files that need to be parsed for other parts of the system (content-types? )
+        - metadata.json -> ArchiveResult.output_json
+        - outlinks.jsonl -> ArchiveResult.output_links
+        - search_texts.txt -> ArchiveResult.index_texts
+        - .merkle.json -> ArchiveResult.output_files
+        - videos.jsonl -> ArchiveResult.output_videos
+        - audios.jsonl -> ArchiveResult.output_audios
+        - images.jsonl -> ArchiveResult.output_images
+        - htmls.jsonl -> ArchiveResult.output_htmls
+    - saving all the result metadata to the ArchiveResult in the database
+
+
+- extractor takes a URL as a CLI arg, a current working directory, and env var options (or config benedict)
+    - extractor should be able to see outputs in snapshot dir from extractors that ran before it
+    - extractor should exit 0 for success, or non-zero for failure
+    - extractor should exit 29 (RetryError) if it should be retried later (e.g. expected input is not ready yet, or got ratelimited, etc.)
+    - extractor should exit 50 (NotApplicable) if it is unable to handle the given URL (e.g. if url is a file:/// but extractor only accepts https://youtube.com/*)
+    - extractor should save output binary data files to the current working directory
+    - extractor should output any logs text / progress to stdout, and error text to stderr
+    - extractor should append any events it wants to emit as JSONL to the snapshot_dir/events.jsonl file. e.g.:
+        - EXTRACTED_OUTLINK         {"url": "https://example.com", "title": "Example Domain", "selector": "a", "tags": ["link"], "timestamp": 1717305600}
+        - EXTRACTED_SEARCH_TEXT     {"path": "articletext.txt", "record": archiveresult.id}
+        - EXTRACTED_HTML            {"path": "index.html", "output_size": 123456, "mimetype": "text/html"}
+        - EXTRACTED_SCREENSHOT      {"path": "screenshot.png", "output_size": 123456, "mimetype": "image/png"}
+        - EXTRACTED_IMAGE           {"path": "favicon.ico", "output_size": 123456, "mimetype": "image/x-icon"}
+        - EXTRACTED_VIDEO           {"path": "media/mainvideo.mp4", "output_size": 123456, "mimetype": "video/mp4"}
+        - EXTRACTED_READABILITY     {"path": "readability.txt", "output_size": 123456, "mimetype": "text/plain"}
+        - ...
+    - extractor should save any JSON metadata detected to a special metadata.json file
+    - extractor should create an index.html or symlink index.html to the main output file that the user will see
+    - extractor should return the following str:
+        - output_uri: str | None -> the URI of the main file or URL produced by the extractor (e.g. file:///path/to/index.html, https://web.archive.org/web/https:/..., file://./screenshot.png)
+        - output_text: str | None -> the text content of the main output, if extractor primarily returns text
+        - output_json: dict | None -> the structured Object returned by the extractor, if its main output is a JSON object
+        - output_links: list[dict] -> a list of all the outlink URLs found during extraction {url, title, selector, tags, timestamp}
+        - output_files: list[dict] -> the list of all the output files {path, hash_sha256, hash_blake3, size, mimetype}
+        - output_thumbnail: str | None -> the URI of the thumbnail file, if any was created
+        - output_html: str | None -> the path to the main HTML file if the extractor produces HTML
