Recipe app guides and original import tests

What the guides test

The test set covers recipe websites, long-form videos, Shorts, and public social posts. Results separate captions, spoken instructions, linked recipes, incomplete quantities, source attribution, and translation.

A guide is published only when its examples can be repeated and the positive and negative outcomes are documented.
