Description

Hi,
It goes without saying that the exclusions array in the HOCON file is incredibly useful.
Would it also be feasible to specify content areas that should be tested as well as ones that shouldn't?

An array of pages that should be tested would also be great. Possibly also a random selection of pages.

Don't get me wrong, I will also look into the source and see if these features are something I could contribute to the project I just thought I'd ask to see if any work has started on them.

Research direction

Start by reading the source that handles the HOCON exclusions array. Clarify whether content inclusions, explicit page lists, and random page selection are separate changes, then define their configuration and expected behavior. Done means the scope and acceptance criteria are agreed before implementation begins.
