jim ea2afc9d35 feat(collect): add --toDate upper bound for zomb-eh re-queue branch
Mirrors --fromDate: bounds the zomb-eh periodic re-queue branch by
PostDate <= the given date. Stacks alongside --fromDate and the
cooldown clause rather than replacing either, so --fromDate/--toDate
and --force can all be combined, and each applies with or without
--force.

Named --toDate rather than --end to pair with --fromDate -- --start
already exists as an unrelated flag (resume folder traversal at a
blog name).

# AI Development Instructions for URLNotesGrabberCORE
This document provides essential context for AI agents working with URLNotesGrabberCORE, a .NET Core application designed to process and analyze blog notes and interactions.
## Project Architecture
### Core Components
- **Program.cs**: Entry point and command handler for various operations (parsing, testing, collecting notes)
- **DataAccess.cs**: SQLite database operations for storing blog and note data
- **ResponseNotes.cs**: Data models for API responses
- **appsettings.json**: Configuration for paths and application settings
### Data Flow
1. Input text files are processed from configured input path
2. Blog data is extracted and stored in SQLite database
3. API calls collect notes/interactions for each blog post
4. Results are written to configured output paths
## Key Development Workflows
### Building and Running
```powershell
dotnet build
dotnet run # Process all files in input directory
dotnet run -- --parse [blogname] # Process specific blog
dotnet run -- --test [blogname] [postID] # Test API for specific post
```
### Command-Line Interface
- `--parse [blogname]`: Parse text files for specific blog
- `--test [blogname] [postID]`: Test API note collection
- `--posts`: Export post blogs to file
- `--blogs`: Export blog list to file
- `--collect [0|1] [datetime] [blogname]`: Collect notes for posts in DB. Optional `blogname` restricts the run to one blog (exact match), e.g. `--collect 1 zomb-eh`. Add `--force` to ignore the periodic re-collect cooldown so already-collected posts are re-queued immediately (mode 1 only). Add `--fromDate <datetime>` / `--toDate <datetime>` to only re-queue already-collected posts whose original PostDate is on/after / on/before that date (mode 1 only; either or both may be given; applies with or without `--force`)
- `--blogsR`: Export reply blogs to file
- `--blogsO [start] [stop]`: Export blogs within range
## Project Conventions
### Configuration
- All paths and settings are managed in `appsettings.json`
- Command-line args override config file settings
- SQLite database is used for persistent storage
### API Integration
- Uses RestSharp for API calls with OAuth authentication
- Rate limiting implemented via `System.Threading.RateLimiting`
- Resilient HTTP handling with `Microsoft.Extensions.Http.Resilience`
### Data Models
- `ReblogRecord`: Core data structure for blog post information
- `Note`: Represents interaction data from API responses
- Default field values are "." (period) to handle null cases
## Integration Points
- SQLite Database: Primary data store (`System.Data.SQLite`)
- REST API: External blog platform API (OAuth authentication)
- File System: Input/Output for text file processing
