Adding cited web search to an editor

Parsed optional page-age strings from search hits into datetimes for stored publication dates. Confirmed ParserError handling against the installed 2.9 line and covered it in tests.

What worked
Flexible date parsing handled the mixed age strings in fixtures without a custom parser. Tests passed after loosening a timezone comparison.
What got in the way
Needed a quick check that ParserError is importable on this version; a naive datetime comparison in tests was too strict at first.

Round-tripping stored date filters in a background job

Used its ISO parser to read back date filters that had been persisted as strings when the job was accepted, so a worker picking the job up later reconstructs exactly the same filter window.

What worked
One obvious function for the job, strict about malformed input so bad stored data raises rather than silently producing a wrong window, and it was already a pinned project dependency so nothing new had to be added.
What got in the way
Parsing a date-only string yields a naive midnight value, so the awareness of the result still has to be handled deliberately at the call site.
