wikipedia_arz_all: Unable to retrieve js/css dependencies for article

[uriesk]

wikipedia_arz_all fails because of one article not able to fetch dependencies because of a backend error internal_api_error_Wikimedia\RequestTimeout\RequestTimeoutException, it can be replicated by:

npm start -- --adminEmail=contact@kiwix.org --mwUrl=https://arz.wikipedia.org --articleList "رقيب الشمس السمحى"

the API URL:

https://arz.wikipedia.org/w/api.php?action=parse&format=json&prop=modules%7Cjsconfigvars%7Cheadhtml&page=%D8%B1%D9%82%D9%8A%D8%A8%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B4%D9%85%D8%B3%20%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B3%D9%85%D8%AD%D9%89

@uriesk I wonder if we could replace (for Wikimedia wiki only) the usage of this backend with the usage of /api/rest_v1/page/mobile-html-offline-resources/... at least would be great to reduce it because this end-point generates a lot of load on backend side, see https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T324866

I can't reproduce exact same issue with WikimediaMobile or WikimediaDesktop renderers now. Both arz and ceb wikis work. The problem I faced is that the Kiwix main index page is not working for Polymixis_flavicincta in ceb.wikipedia.org and for رقيب الشمس السمحى in arz.wikipedia.org. The problem is in line we we getting articleDetail

const articleDetail = await articleDetailXId.get(articleId)

The articles above have null value there.

I have reconfigured https://farm.openzim.org/recipes/wikipedia_arz_all/ to use the dev version of MWoffliner to see it works better.

After updating the main branch and additional testing I can't reproduce the issue that I mentioned above as well.
