From a checkout of this dataset repository:

```

This recreates `data/cache/<school>/{pages,text,metadata}/...`.

## Crawl Notes

The cache includes records copied from the original local cache plus respectful 985-wide crawl and repair passes. The crawlers record blocked URLs and do not bypass robots.txt, TLS failures, login, captcha, CC defenses, or other access controls.
