Internal dogfood · operator-attested record

Two missing routes. One documented approval. Two later 200s.

SEO Runner recorded two public 404 observations, proposed the smallest reversible change, and documented owner approval. Later public checks observed both routes at HTTP 200. Deployment-to-commit provenance remains unreconciled.

Evidence trail

The record separates the decision from what was observed later.

The approval and later public state are both recorded, but this page does not infer an exact deployment-to-commit link that the evidence does not establish.

  1. 01
    Observed

    Discovery files were missing

    The public homepage returned 200. Both /robots.txt and /sitemap.xml returned 404.

    2 × HTTP 404
  2. 02
    Decided

    The smallest reversible change was approved

    Add intentional Next.js metadata routes, keep non-public product surfaces out, and preserve owner control.

    Owner approved
  3. 03
    Later observed

    Two public routes were present in production

    A later public retrieval saw a robots response declaring the sitemap and a sitemap exposing the canonical homepage.

  4. 04
    Rechecked

    Later constrained checks saw both files

    Both files returned 200 and no related finding appeared. The deployed code was not tied to a visible commit or exact Worker version.
