+/**
+ * Generic web page reader — fetch any URL and export as Markdown.
+ *
+ * Uses browser-side DOM heuristics to extract the main content:
+ *   1. <article> element
+ *   2. [role="main"] element
+ *   3. <main> element
+ *   4. Largest text-dense block as fallback
+ *
+ * Pipes through the shared article-download pipeline (Turndown + image download).
+ *
+ * Usage:
+ *   opencli web read --url "https://www.anthropic.com/research/..." --output ./articles
+ *   opencli web read --url "https://..." --download-images false
