What they read.
Every route here is registered with an expected status code and probed on a schedule. A route that stops answering as promised is a broken contract, not a cosmetic fault, so the probe result is published beside the promise.
Machine surface paths never change; only the prose describing them does.

Section 02
Which doors get knocked on.
Recorded requests at each kind of entry point, with what was answered (2xx) and what was refused (400 and above); redirects and other outcomes make up the rest. Door knocks were recorded only against AI surfaces until 7 August 2026, so figures spanning that date undercount ordinary crawler traffic before it and are not comparable across it.
| Entry point | Knocks | Answered | Refused (400+) |

Section 03
The questions put to our query surfaces - and which were ours.
Traced requests at the dedicated machine endpoints, with our own verification probes separated into their own column rather than hiding inside the demand figures. A study that counts its own probes as interest is advertising to itself.
| Surface | All traces | Not our probes | Our own probes | Probe share |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| public_web | 12,368 | 12,368 | 0 | 0.0% |
| public_rest | 1,916 | 1,916 | 0 | 0.0% |
14,284 traces in all - 14,284 not ours - window: 26 Sep 2026 to 4 Oct 2026.
Section 04
What identifiably came back.
Strong-match followbacks
6
A later request returned to an exact anchor it had been offered, at the strictest match confidence.
Distinct image requests
0
0 distinct files, 0.0 MB to named crawlers. Capture is intermittent, so every image figure is a floor.
AI-referred sessions
0
Recorded in room 02 from a different source table - never summed with the rows here.
Followbacks: the followback table at strong confidence - images: wp_crisps_asset_knocks, rows on 0 of 0 days - three sources, three windows, no shared key - live.

One study, one style, seven rooms. The legacy room addresses now land on the room that absorbed their content, and every machine mirror keeps its original path.
