fix(analytics): directory bind mount + inode-based auto-reopen

- docker-compose.prod.yml: replace file bind mount for analytics.duckdb
  with directory bind mount (/opt/padelnomics/data:/app/data/pipeline:ro)
  so os.rename() on the host is visible inside the container
- Override SERVING_DUCKDB_PATH to /app/data/pipeline/analytics.duckdb in
  all 6 blue/green services (removes dependency on .env value)
- analytics.py: track file inode; call _check_and_reopen() at start of
  each query — transparently picks up new analytics.duckdb without restart
  when export_serving.py atomically replaces it after each pipeline run

 - **Three-tier proxy system** for extraction pipeline: free (Webshare auto-fetched) → datacenter (`PROXY_URLS_DATACENTER`) → residential (`PROXY_URLS_RESIDENTIAL`). Webshare free proxies are now auto-fetched from their download API on each run — no more manually copying stale proxy lists.
   - `proxy.py`: added `fetch_webshare_proxies()` (stdlib urllib, bounded read + timeout), `load_proxy_tiers()` (assembles N tiers from env), generalised `make_tiered_cycler()` to accept `list[list[str]]` with N-level escalation. Exposes `is_exhausted()`, `active_tier_index()`, `tier_count()`.

+## Häufige Fragen
+
+<details>
+<summary>Wie oft sollte man einen Padelschläger wechseln?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO: Antwort (50–100 Wörter) -->
+
+Bei regelmäßigem Spielen (2–3 Mal pro Woche) empfehlen wir einen Wechsel alle 12 bis 18 Monate. Der größte Qualitätsverlust entsteht nicht durch sichtbare Schäden, sondern durch den Abbau der Schaumstoffkerns, der das Spielgefühl verändert.

+
+<details>
+<summary>Was kostet ein guter Padelschläger?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO: Preisklassen-Überblick -->
+
+Gute Einstiegsschläger gibt es ab 50 Euro. Für Fortgeschrittene empfehlen wir 100–200 Euro, für ambitionierte Spieler 200–350 Euro. Über 400 Euro kostet nur das Pro-Segment, das für die meisten Freizeitspieler überdimensioniert ist.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Runder oder Diamant-Schläger — was ist besser?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Runde Schläger verzeihen mehr Fehlschläge und eignen sich für Anfänger und defensive Spieler. Diamant-Schläger liefern mehr Power und werden von Angriffsspielern bevorzugt. Für die meisten Freizeitspieler ist eine Tropfen- oder runde Form die sicherere Wahl.

+
+<!-- TODO: Einleitung — klare Orientierung für Einsteiger -->
+
+Padel ist im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Sportarten günstig einzusteigen. Wer zum ersten Mal auf den Court geht, braucht eigentlich nur drei Dinge: einen Schläger, die richtigen Schuhe und Bälle. Der Rest ist komfortsteigerndes Zubehör — notwendig wird es erst, wenn man ernsthafter spielt.

+<summary>Wie viel kostet ein komplettes Padel-Starterpaket?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Für rund 150 Euro bekommt man einen soliden Anfängerschläger (60–90 €), passende Padelschuhe (50–70 €) und eine Dose Bälle (6–10 €). Alles darüber hinaus ist optional.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Kann ich mit geliehener Ausrüstung starten?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Ja, für die ersten Einheiten ist das sinnvoll. Die meisten Padel-Center verleihen Schläger für 2–5 Euro pro Einheit. Wer mehr als 3–4 Mal spielen will, lohnt sich ein eigener Schläger — schon allein wegen des vertrauten Spielgefühls.

+# Padelschläger für Anfänger 2026: Die 5 besten Einstiegsmodelle
+
+<!-- TODO: Einleitung, warum Anfängerschläger sich von Profimodellen unterscheiden (150–200 Wörter) -->
+
+Für den Einstieg ins Padel braucht man keinen teuren Profischaft. Im Gegenteil: Die meisten Hochleistungsschläger sind für Anfänger kontraproduktiv — ihr kleines Sweetspot-Fenster bestraft Fehlschläge, die in der Lernphase normal sind. Ein guter Anfängerschläger ist leicht, hat eine runde Form und verzeiht ungenaue Treffpunkte.

+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Wer mehr als einmal pro Woche spielt, sollte in einen eigenen Schläger investieren. Leihschläger im Club sind oft abgenutzt und vermitteln ein falsches Spielgefühl. Ab 60–80 Euro gibt es solide Einsteigerschläger.

+<summary>Kann ich als Anfänger direkt mit einem 150-Euro-Schläger starten?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Ja, sofern es sich um ein anfängerfreundliches Modell aus diesem Preisbereich handelt. Preisschilder allein sagen wenig — ein 150-Euro-Diamantschläger kann für Einsteiger schlechter sein als ein 70-Euro-Rundschläger.

+<!-- TODO: Einleitung zur defensiven Spielweise und warum der Schläger einen Unterschied macht -->
+
+Im Padel entscheidet das Grundfeld. Wer vom hinteren Drittel sauber und kontrolliert spielen kann, zwingt den Gegner zu Fehlern. Für diesen Spielstil braucht man einen Schläger mit großem Sweetspot, weichem EVA-Kern und einer runden oder Tropfenform — nicht die auffälligsten Geräte, aber die effektivsten.

+<summary>Was ist der Unterschied zwischen einem Kontroll- und einem Powerschläger?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Kontrollschläger (runde Form, weicher Kern) vergrößern den Sweetspot und ermöglichen feingefühliges Spiel. Powerschläger (Diamantform, harter Kern) bieten mehr Hebelwirkung beim Smash, verzeihen aber weniger Fehlschläge.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Für welche Spielstufe sind Kontrollschläger geeignet?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Kontrollschläger sind für Anfänger, Freizeitspieler und taktisch orientierte Spieler aller Stufen geeignet. Auch viele erfahrene Spieler bevorzugen sie, weil Konsistenz auf Dauer mehr Punkte bringt als gelegentliche Powerschläge.

+<!-- TODO: Einleitung — warum normale Tennisschuhe nicht reichen -->
+
+Padelschuhe werden häufig unterschätzt. Auf dem Sandbelag des Padel-Courts braucht man eine völlig andere Sohle als auf Tennishartplatz oder Hallenboden. Ein falscher Schuh erhöht nicht nur das Verletzungsrisiko — er kostet auch Punkte, weil man in Kurven wegrutscht.

+<summary>Kann ich Tennisschuhe für Padel verwenden?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Für den gelegentlichen Einstieg ja. Auf Dauer ist es nicht empfehlenswert: Tennisschuhe bieten auf Sand zu wenig Halt, und die Abnutzung ist höher. Nach 3–4 Monaten regelmäßigen Spielens zahlen sich dedizierte Padelschuhe aus.
+
+</details>
+
+<details>
+<summary>Wie erkenne ich verschlissene Padelschuhe?</summary>
+
+<!-- TODO -->
+
+Wenn die Außenfläche der Sohle glatt wird oder das Profil auf unter 2 mm abgenutzt ist, verliert der Schuh seinen Halt. Bei Padel ist das gefährlicher als bei vielen anderen Sportarten, weil häufige Richtungswechsel auf losem Sand stattfinden.

+Affiliate product catalog: product lookup, click logging, and stats queries.
+
+All functions are plain async procedures — no classes, no state.
+
+Design decisions:
+- IP hashing uses a daily salt (date + SECRET_KEY[:16]) for GDPR compliance.
+  Rotating salt prevents re-identification across days without storing PII.
+- Products are fetched by (slug, language) with a graceful fallback to any
+  language, so DE cards appear in EN articles rather than nothing.
+- Stats are computed entirely in SQL — no Python aggregation.
