📦 MarketWatch article and stock quote data

Each saved row is either a MarketWatch article or a stock quote. Article rows can include the headline, canonical URL, author, section, publish and update times, summary, description, lead image, available text, paragraphs, keywords, and stock tickers. Stock quote rows include a symbol, company, price changes, quote time, and related news links. Optional fields can be null, and optional arrays can be empty when the source does not provide them. If the same article is found more than once, the Actor saves the first eligible match and skips later copies.
