First steps
- Read the whole issue, then the project's contributing guide.

- Open a pull request that references the issue number.
Research direction
The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by reproducing the blank result with the linked Toronto Star URL in Firefox Reader Mode, then trace the JavaScript article-extraction path. Done means that article produces readable content instead of a blank page, with a regression check if the repository provides one.
