fix(secrets): add http:// scheme to proxy URLs in dev + prod SOPS

PROXY_URLS_DATACENTER was missing the scheme prefix, causing SSL
handshake failures on the Rayobyte HTTP-only proxy.

@@ -6,6 +6,9 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
 
 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Fixed
+- **Proxy URL scheme validation in `load_proxy_tiers()`** — URLs in `PROXY_URLS_DATACENTER` / `PROXY_URLS_RESIDENTIAL` that are missing an `http://` or `https://` scheme are now logged as a warning and skipped, rather than being passed through and causing SSL handshake failures or connection errors at request time. Also fixed a missing `http://` prefix in the dev `.env` `PROXY_URLS_DATACENTER` entry.
+
 ### Changed
 - **Per-proxy dead tracking in tiered cycler** — `make_tiered_cycler` now accepts a `proxy_failure_limit` parameter (default 3). Individual proxies that hit the limit are marked dead and permanently skipped by `next_proxy()`. If all proxies in the active tier are dead, `next_proxy()` auto-escalates to the next tier without needing the tier-level threshold. `record_failure(proxy_url)` and `record_success(proxy_url)` accept an optional `proxy_url` argument for per-proxy tracking; callers without `proxy_url` are fully backward-compatible. New `dead_proxy_count()` callable exposed for monitoring.
   - `extract/padelnomics_extract/src/padelnomics_extract/proxy.py`: added per-proxy state (`proxy_failure_counts`, `dead_proxies`), updated `next_proxy`/`record_failure`/`record_success`, added `dead_proxy_count`
@@ -14,6 +17,13 @@ The format is based on [Keep a Changelog](https://keepachangelog.com/en/1.1.0/).
   - `web/tests/test_supervisor.py`: 11 new tests in `TestTieredCyclerDeadProxyTracking` covering dead proxy skipping, auto-escalation, `dead_proxy_count`, backward compat, and thread safety
 
 ### Added
+- **Pipeline Transform tab + live extraction status** — new "Transform" tab in the pipeline admin with status cards for SQLMesh transform and export-serving tasks, a "Run Full Pipeline" button, and a recent run history table. The Overview tab now auto-polls every 5 s while an extraction task is pending and stops automatically when quiet. Per-extractor "Run" buttons use HTMX in-place updates instead of redirects. The header "Run Pipeline" button now enqueues the full ELT pipeline (extract → transform → export) instead of extraction only. Three new worker task handlers: `run_transform` (sqlmesh plan prod --auto-apply, 2 h timeout), `run_export` (export_serving.py, 10 min timeout), `run_pipeline` (sequential, stops on first failure). Concurrency guard prevents double-enqueuing the same step.
+  - `web/src/padelnomics/worker.py`: `handle_run_transform`, `handle_run_export`, `handle_run_pipeline`
+  - `web/src/padelnomics/admin/pipeline_routes.py`: `_render_overview_partial()`, `_fetch_pipeline_tasks()`, `_format_duration()`, `pipeline_transform()`, `pipeline_trigger_transform()`; `pipeline_trigger_extract()` now HTMX-aware
+  - `web/src/padelnomics/admin/templates/admin/pipeline.html`: pulse animation on `.status-dot.running`, Transform tab button, rewired header button
+  - `web/src/padelnomics/admin/templates/admin/partials/pipeline_overview.html`: self-polling wrapper, HTMX Run buttons
+  - `web/src/padelnomics/admin/templates/admin/partials/pipeline_transform.html`: new file
+
 - **Affiliate programs management** — centralised retailer config (`affiliate_programs` table) with URL template + tracking tag + commission %. Products now use a program dropdown + product identifier (e.g. ASIN) instead of manually baking full URLs. URL is assembled at redirect time via `build_affiliate_url()`, so changing a tag propagates instantly to all products. Legacy products (baked `affiliate_url`) continue to work via fallback. Amazon OneLink configured in the Associates dashboard handles geo-redirect to local marketplaces — no per-country programs needed.
   - `web/src/padelnomics/migrations/versions/0027_affiliate_programs.py`: `affiliate_programs` table, nullable `program_id` + `product_identifier` columns on `affiliate_products`, seeds "Amazon" program, backfills ASINs from existing URLs
   - `web/src/padelnomics/affiliate.py`: `get_all_programs()`, `get_program()`, `get_program_by_slug()`, `build_affiliate_url()`; `get_product()` JOINs program for redirect assembly; `_parse_product()` extracts `_program` sub-dict
