## Description

This project is a railway booking automation tool designed to monitor ticket inventory and execute purchases on the 12306 platform. Its primary purpose is to secure high-demand train tickets by automating the login, booking, and checkout processes.

The system utilizes automated captcha solving and headless session management to bypass security barriers and maintain user authentication. It employs a concurrent request queue and polling-based inventory monitoring to track seat availability and execute purchases immediately as they open.

The automation surface includes waitlist management for restricted journeys and an event-driven notification pipeline that alerts users via messaging apps when booking statuses change.
