If any feed contains it → in scope. Paginate with `?limit=250&page=N` if a feed returns exactly 250. (2) PDP-LOCAL FAST PATH — read the page's JSON-LD `category` field on the Product or ProductGroup node. If it appears in `convenience_signals.in_scope_categories`, treat as in scope; if it appears in `convenience_signals.out_of_scope_categories`, treat as out of scope. (3) LOWEST-FIDELITY FALLBACK — match the page URL against `convenience_signals.url_patterns`.
