Tell me when this changes

The failures here are the kind nobody notices. An edge rule that starts refusing agents changes nothing a person sees in a browser, so the first sign is usually an integration that quietly stopped working. We rescan weekly and write only when a verdict moves.

This page is the newest scan we hold for directus.com and changes when we rescan. It is not a judgement of the product: we measure whether an unattended run can get through, not whether the thing is any good. The whole corpus is published as JSON and CSV.
