Description

@IanLee1521 - Can't recall if this was already requested elsewhere, but is it possible to enhance the scraper to also read metadata from an additional file in a repo? The rationale would be to allow developers to have more control over the metadata that is provided, and to provide metadata that may not be scraped by the scraper.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by tracing the scraper's existing metadata extraction flow and checking how its tests define metadata sources. Before implementation, clarify the additional file's name and format, precedence rules, and what metadata should be accepted; done means the behavior is documented and covered by tests.
