Research direction

Start by tracing the rate limit check that requests /r/reddit/hot.json and parses its response; the issue gives no file or test to begin from. Reproduce the reported 403 on Redlib v0.36.0 and inspect the rate limit handling. Done means the check handles this response correctly and no longer reports a misleading parse failure.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Rate limit check failed: Failed to parse page JSON data: expected value at line 1 column 1 | /r/reddit/hot.json?&raw_json=1
This may cause issues with the rate limit.
