Recipe log:
Failed to get index with UA
Falling back to GraphQL for the edition index
Failed to get index from GraphQL with error: HTTP Error 403: Forbidden

The GraphQL endpoint also returns:
HTTP/1.1 403 Forbidden
Server: CloudFront
X-Cache: Error from cloudfront

The normal website works in a regular browser, while both curl and
Calibre WebEngine requests are rejected.
I know people at the Economist who literally use Calibre-generated ebooks to read their own publication. It's frankly ridiculous that they're not running it themselves and publishing the result for subscribers. That would obviate all these problems in one shot... I might see if I can have a word next time I see them (but it'll be months away at best).
