Chromium rejects authenticated SOCKS5 ('Browser does not support socks5 proxy
authentication'). Add a gost (ginuerzh/gost:2.11.5) 'proxy-relay' sidecar that
listens unauthenticated on socks5://proxy-relay:11080 and forwards to the
authenticated residential upstream (HEALTHCARE_PROXY_UPSTREAM_URL). Workers point
Playwright at the relay via HEALTHCARE_PROXY_URL=socks5://proxy-relay:11080.
env template: split into HEALTHCARE_PROXY_UPSTREAM_URL (authenticated, password
percent-encoded so '#' -> %23) and HEALTHCARE_PROXY_URL (the relay address).
Validated end-to-end on dev: workers Chromium -> proxy-relay -> residential
egress IP 76.228.206.147; NPPES + PECOS both HTTP 200.
CMS healthcare portals (NPPES, PECOS, I&A) block datacenter IPs, so the
healthcare browser automation needs to egress via the residential proxy on
hg409y7ez04.sn.mynetname.net (username 'performancewest').
- undetected_browser: use_proxy now accepts an env-var name, so callers can
select a domain-specific proxy. _proxy_config(proxy_env) reads it and falls
back to UNDETECTED_PROXY_URL. Healthcare uses 'HEALTHCARE_PROXY_URL'.
- probe_npi_undetected: launches with use_proxy='HEALTHCARE_PROXY_URL' when set.
- npi_provider: documents that the (future) automated NPPES/PECOS flows must
use the healthcare proxy.
- Plumb HEALTHCARE_PROXY_URL (+ UNDETECTED_PROXY_URL fallback) through the
ansible env template and docker-compose workers env.
The credential itself is NOT in the repo. Set the full URL in the ansible
vault as vault_healthcare_proxy_url:
socks5://performancewest:<password>@hg409y7ez04.sn.mynetname.net:<port>
Verified parsing + Playwright proxy-dict wiring with a unit test.
