Add configure_session_for_proxy() function to support environments that require a proxy to access external URLs (e.g., Kubernetes pods in corporate networks). Proxy settings can be configured via: - Environment variables: HTTP_PROXY, HTTPS_PROXY, NO_PROXY - Config file: http_proxy, https_proxy, no_proxy in crawler config Config file settings take precedence over environment variables. 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.5 <[email protected]>

Don't we want to document this in the crawlers.MD under docs_crawler?
