Proxy Lifecycle
How proxies move from source catalogs into usable rotation pools.
Proxy Lifecycle
Proxy entries should move through a bounded lifecycle:
- Source metadata defines where proxy candidates come from.
- Fetchers download and parse source payloads.
- Validators check protocol behavior and latency.
- Storage keeps accepted entries and metadata.
- Strategies select proxies for requests.
- Circuit breakers and health checks remove unhealthy entries from hot paths.
The generated Proxy Sources page shows the active source catalog.
