Article: 'Document exact file paths, function names, line numbers. Provide actionable feedback.'

Problem

When a parser fails to extract, the log says nothing about WHY. Was the label not found? Was the URL pattern wrong? The user can't fix it.

Proposal

In apply_strategy, log: 'after_label: searched for label X in N lines, not found'
In link_containing: log: 'searched N URLs, none contained substring Y'
Store failure reason in event notes
Surface in parsers page: 'Last failure: label "Order #" not found in body'
