- * Non-interactive automation; detects blocked states (captcha/login/challenge);
- * extracts direct media URL candidates via selector candidate arrays.
+ * Reconciled with electron/media-upload-recipes.js for imgur/postimages.
+ *
+ * Android vs Electron (prevent drift):
+ * - Android: imgur/postimages only; no catbox (uses OkHttp). Uses WebChromeClient file chooser;
+ *   trigger JS clicks file input, optional submit click after chooser.
+ * - Electron: catbox/imgur/postimages. CDP DOM.setFileInputFiles + submit click. Catbox Electron-only.
+ * - Selectors: file input, submit, success extractor, blocked indicators kept in sync for imgur/postimages.
+ * - Success extractor attribute: imgur href, postimages value (Electron parity).
