New --crawl URL flag bypasses the web server entirely: runs WebCrawler directly, prints progress to stdout, and exits with results (JSON or CSV via --crawl-format). --output saves to file instead of stdout. --no-browser and --port flags also added so the normal server startup is more composable in automated envs.

What
Adds a
--crawl URLflag that runs a crawl without starting the web server, then exits. No browser, no Flask, no HTTP round-trips needed.Also adds:
--port/-p— configure port without env var--no-browser— suppress the auto-open browser tab on normal server startWhy
Makes it possible to drive LibreCrawl from a cron job or CI script without running a persistent web server or scripting HTTP API calls:
Progress is printed to stdout; results go to
--outputfile or stdout if omitted. Exit code is 0 on success, 1 on error.Changes
main.pyonly — one file, no new dependenciesWebCrawler,SettingsManager, and export helpers already in the codebase
