Added ShopifySpider, the first platform spider template! Extract every product from any Shopify-powered store through its JSON API without touching the website's HTML. Subclass it, set the store's domain, and you are done (Check the docs)
```
from scrapling.spiders import ShopifySpider

class MyStore(ShopifySpider):
    target_website = "example.com"

result = MyStore().start()
```
Added --executable-path to the CLI browser commands. Both scrapling extract fetch and scrapling extract stealthy-fetch now accept a custom Chromium-compatible browser executable, and fall back to the SCRAPLING_EXECUTABLE_PATH environment variable when the option isn't passed, bringing full parity with the MCP server (Solves #371)
```
scrapling extract fetch "https://example.com" page.html --executable-path "/path/to/chromium"
```

Made find_by_text and find_by_regex up to ~2x faster when first_match is enabled (the default) by wrapping elements lazily so the search stops at the first match, by @yetval in #370
Updated the benchmarks with the new numbers against the latest versions of all libraries.
Updated contribution rules

Fixed the MCP server's fetch tools crashing on pages containing control characters with the error All strings must be XML compatible, by @yetval in #368 (Fixes #366)
