Research direction

Open discountsParser_test.go and inspect TestParseDiscountItem, TestIsValidDiscount, TestCleanText, TestExtractEmail, and TestTrimAfter. Compare their table-driven structure with parser/requisiteParser_test.go, then run the relevant Go tests. Done means each named test uses a slice with the former key represented by a Name field and all tests still pass.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

L1 recommended for recruits

TestParseDiscountItem, TestIsValidDiscount, TestCleanText, TestExtractEmail, and TestTrimAfter use the following format for table driven tests:

testCases := map[string]struct {
		html     string
		category string
		expected schema.DiscountProgram
	}{
		"complete_entry": { ... }

Change them to represent their table as a slice (move key into a field Name).
