Research direction

The report identifies /r/popular/hot.json as the failing page data request, but gives no reproduction steps or expected behavior. Start by checking whether the error still occurs on the latest commit, as the report template requests, then trace that request and its JSON parsing entry point. Done means reproducing the failure and identifying a fix with a test that confirms the page data parses correctly.
