- **`TextExtractionResult`**: Text content with pattern matches

## 🚀 Key Benefits Achieved

### For LLMs
- **Reduced Round Trips**: Extract multiple data points in single API calls
- **Structured Data**: Well-formatted JSON responses ready for processing
- **Rich Context**: Comprehensive data extraction provides better understanding
- **Pattern Matching**: Built-in regex support eliminates post-processing
- **Error Handling**: Graceful handling of missing elements with detailed feedback

### For Developers
- **Faster Automation**: Bulk operations significantly speed up workflows
- **Better Data Quality**: Structured responses with consistent formatting
- **Flexible Filtering**: Advanced filtering options for precise data extraction
- **Comprehensive Coverage**: Tools handle common extraction scenarios
- **Backward Compatibility**: All existing tools continue to work unchanged

## 📊 Technical Implementation

### Architecture Changes
All new functionality follows the established three-layer architecture:

1. **Daemon Layer** (`daemon/daemon.go`): 
   - Lines 620-703: Command handlers for new extraction commands
   - Lines 2542-2937: Implementation methods with timeout handling

2. **Client Layer** (`client/client.go`):
   - Lines 824-857: New data structures for structured responses
   - Lines 989-1282: Client methods with parameter validation

3. **MCP Layer** (`mcp/main.go`):
   - Lines 933-1199: MCP tool definitions with comprehensive schemas

### Key Features Implemented
- **Batch Processing**: Multiple selectors processed in single calls
- **Advanced Filtering**: Regex patterns for href and text filtering
- **Structured Output**: Consistent JSON formatting across all tools
- **Error Resilience**: Graceful handling of missing or invalid elements
- **Timeout Management**: Configurable timeouts for all operations
- **Pattern Matching**: Built-in regex support for text extraction
