## Tested

- Offline unit tests: `tests/15_zenith_test.js`, every rule in both directions
- Full script in a headless browser on a saved Zenith torrent page (Encode, 1080p): all checks pass
- The same page, altered once per rule (no MediaInfo, banned group, RAR/NFO, no screenshots, S01-S03, boxset with AVI/WMV, TrueHD REMUX with and without AC-3, German audio without subs, tracker name in the description): each produced the expected result
- No network requests with the default settings
