      # 截图链路实盘判决书

2026-08-30。三波双证人重构把「截图 + DOM 证人成对落盘」写进了约 37 个浏览器脚本，
但全部是离线写的代码——`opencli browser <session> screenshot <path>` 在各封装形态下
从未在真 Chrome 上跑过。本次逐项实盘，环境：opencli 1.8.7 / 扩展 1.0.32，
起跑前零活动会话。

**总判决：截图链路全线出图，无一处封装形态写错。** 发现并修掉 1 个真 bug
（demand `captureBrowserScene` 吞掉截图失败原因），另记 3 条「不是 bug 但会误读证据」
的事实。

---

## 第一梯队 —— 零配额验证

| # | 验证了什么 | 实际结果 | 出图 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 裸 `opencli browser <session> screenshot <path>` | 两种形态都成功：`browser S screenshot P` 与 `browser S --window background screenshot P`（后者是 opencli-core 注入 `--window` 后的实际 argv 顺序，CLI 接受） | ✅ 41227 B，PNG 2560×1646 |
| 2 | `backlink/scripts/lib-evidence-scene.mjs` `captureScene()` | census + png 成对落盘，`censusError`/`screenshotError` 均 null；剥敏生效（census 里 href 只留 path，`__gmitm=` 只剩键名） | ✅ png 41227 B / census 20891 B |
| 3 | `rankup/scripts/lib-scene.mjs` `captureScene()`（截图回调由调用方注入） | 仓库里两种真实注入形态都出图：**形态 A** execSync 引号版 `cli(\`screenshot "${p}"\`)`（clarity-setup / ahrefs-setup / gsc-remove-urls / naver-setup / webmaster-sitemap）、**形态 B** execFileSync 数组版 `browser(session,["screenshot",p])`（ahrefs-site-audit / gefei-ask / gt-browser / webcafe-forum）。故意给不存在的目录 → 错误进 `scene.errors`、不抛、另一个证人照常落盘 | ✅ 各 41227 B，manifest 3 幕 |
| 4 | `rankup/scripts/demand/_lib.mjs` `captureBrowserScene()`（spawnSync + `--window`） | 正常路径文本证人 + 截图成对；会话名不存在时文本证人退化成 `session_not_found` 现场文件、`shot=null`——**但原因被静默吞掉，见下方 Bug 1** | ✅ png 41227 B / page.json 240 B |
| 5a | 真实脚本失败路径：`rankup/scripts/demand/chrome-stats.mjs`（chrome-stats.com，非配额站），`--path /chrome/definitely-not-a-real-list-xyz` 故意制造 404 | 走 `zero-cards` 分支，退出前落 `zero-cards-shot.png` + `zero-cards-page.json` + manifest（`stopReason: died: zero_cards`，`sources[].scene` 带两个证人的绝对路径）。肉眼看图：确实是 chrome-stats 的「Page not found」页——「这次没取到」和「榜单为空」现在真的分得开 | ✅ 1115368 B，2560×1534，可读 |
| 5b | 真实脚本：`backlink/scripts/page-read.mjs`（公开页） | 成功路径落 `scene-page-read.png` + census；换成不可解析域名时，Chrome 自己的 `ERR_CONNECTION_CLOSED` 错误页被完整取证（脚本不判断这是不是失败，交给 AI 看图——符合设计） | ✅ 40092 B / 76084 B |

## 第二梯队 —— 配额站最小验证

| # | 验证了什么 | 实际结果 | 出图 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 | `backlink/scripts/ground-truth.mjs`，Semrush `/analytics/traffic/top-pages/?q=canva.com`（会话 `semrush-nav`） | `lockHeld=true, lockWaitMs=3`（整轮持机器级锁）；`eagerReload=true`（打开即刷新生效，首刷不计入 `refreshCount=0`）；`readyAfterMs=27139`，`readyBranch="table"`，`filledCells=850`；`hijacked=false`；4 组 census+shot 成对，4 个截图 md5 互不相同（滚动确实动了）；`stopReason=max-screens`，exit 0 | ✅ 235809 / 333683 / 358233 / 354063 B，肉眼可读真数据表 |
| 7 | `backlink/scripts/semrush-batch.mjs`，1 个域名 `example.com --db us` | 行内 `evidence.screenshot` 真有图、`evidence.screenshotError=null`；**`verdict` 字段确实已不存在**（`hasOwnProperty("verdict") === false`）；`parse=parsed, organicTraffic=9800, authorityScore=53, stopReason=stable`。肉眼看图：Semrush 域名概览页，自然流量 9.8K / AS 53，与解析值一致 | ✅ 362704 B |

会话纪律：全程只用自己的会话名（`shotchain-*`）与脚本自带的 `semrush-nav`，
结束逐个 `close`，**没有跑过 cleanup**，收尾时 `opencli browser sessions` 为空。

---

## 发现并修复的问题

### Bug 1（已修）：`captureBrowserScene` 把截图失败的原因整个吞了

`rankup/scripts/demand/_lib.mjs` 的截图分支原本是
`if (r.status === 0 && fs.existsSync(file)) out.shot = file;` 加一个空 catch——
拍不到时 `out.shot` 是 `null`，**而「这次没拍成」和「压根没打算拍」长得一模一样**。
兄弟实现 `lib-evidence-scene.mjs` 一直记 `screenshotError`，两边契约不一致。

已改为记录 `out.shotError`（`r.error.message` / stderr / `exit N`，压平空白截 300 字），
返回对象初始化为 `{ text: null, shot: null, shotError: null }`。
补了一条测试：假 opencli 在场但 `screenshot` 子命令退 4 → 文本证人照常落盘、
`shot=null`、`shotError` 匹配 stderr。`rankup/tests/demand-lib-evidence.test.mjs` 6/6 绿。

## 不是 bug，但会让人读错证据的三件事

1. **census 的 `href` 只有 path+search+hash，没有 host。** 这是 `CENSUS_EXPR` 的
   刻意设计（落点自检比的是路由，host 不进证据）。`example.com` 上取到 `href: "/"`
   是对的，不是取证失败。
2. **`deep.textLength` 恒在 1.6M 上下，是浏览器扩展的 shadow DOM，不是页面内容。**
   实测 example.com（正文 129 字符）读出 1598835：用户 Chrome 里的 Doubao 翻译
   与 aitdk 两个扩展各注入约 533K 字符的 shadow root，被穿透统计三次算了进去。
   ground-truth.mjs 的文档早已写明「就绪判据是 filledCells > 0，不是文本长度」，
   本次实测确认了那条结论的成因。`deepText` **样本**的开头仍是真页面文本
   （主 root 排第一），扩展的 CSS 从中段开始灌——读样本只信开头。
3. **第 6 步的截图拍到的是 nytimes.com，不是 canva.com。** 打开的 URL 明明是
   `?q=canva.com`，Semrush 自己追加了 `lid=1234971`（上次用的 .Trends 列表），
   页面渲染的是该列表的域名。这与 SKILL.md 已记录的规则一致：
   「Traffic Analytics 整棵树只要带 `lid=` 就忽略 `q=`，`q=` 是装饰」。
   ground-truth 的落点自检只比 path/hash，**看不见主体域名被换掉**——
   跑 Traffic Analytics 路由时必须自己核对 `lid=`，或看 census 的 deepText 头部。
   （历史 evidence 目录复查：带 lid 的 24 轮里绝大多数 `q=` 与渲染域名一致，
   只有 `recheck-page-groups`、`semrush-round4-email-nytimes` 两处对不上——
   同一类漂移，不是本次新引入的。）

## 仍存问题

- ground-truth 的 manifest 不记「页面实际在讲哪个域名」。这需要判断，按
  one-collector-per-quota-tool 的分工不该由脚本下结论；但 manifest 里连
  最终 `href`（含 `lid=`）都没有，AI 想发现漂移必须自己去翻 census 文件。
  值不值得加一个纯机械的 `finalHref` 字段，留给下一轮决定。
- 第一梯队只覆盖了三个共享取证库和 2 个真实脚本。其余脚本用的都是这三种封装
  形态之一（已逐个 grep 核对过注入写法），未逐脚本实跑。

本文是**准入判断**的唯一依据。它存在的原因是：这个 Skill 的评分表、
安全策略和质量规则曾经合起来产生一个站主没有要过的效果——
**因为"不相关"或"DR 低"或"是 nofollow"而不发**，从而把本可以拿到的外链丢掉。

来源：`new.web.cafe/experiences` 上哥飞（该社区的运营者、长期实操者）
2026-08 前后的一批经验帖，以及帖下从业者的回帖。逐条注明出处 ID。
这些是**从业裁定**，不是搜索引擎官方文档；下面每条都标了它管到哪、不管到哪。

## 1. 相关性是排序项，不是准入门槛

> 「有得选，就选相关且权重高的；没得选，只要能发的都发，这时候**数量优先于相关性**。」
> —— 哥飞，`/experience/6ecar2s11g`

原帖起因正是有人问"我做体育站的，能不能往美食站、生日站发外链"。

**因此本 Skill 的规则是：**

- 站点主题不相关，**不构成拒发理由**。
- 唯一的准入门槛是**页面本身不是垃圾场**（见第 4 条）。
- 相关且高权重的目标**排在前面先发**，不是"只发这些"。

这条**推翻**了此前 safety-policy 里"do not submit to topically irrelevant
pages"的字面读法。那句话现在只保留它真正该管的部分：不往色情、恶意软件、
链接农场投放。主题不同 ≠ 不相关页面。

**但它没有推翻的是：评论正文必须是针对那篇文章写的。** 哥飞自己给的做法把这
两件事拆开了：

> 「评论正文里不出现我们的广告也没问题，**只要个人主页和姓名里包含了我们要留的
> 链接就行**。」—— 哥飞，`/experience/ao30ki8tzk`

所以正确形态是：**正文相关，链接在 URL / 昵称字段**。这既拿到了链接，
又不会因为一段与文章无关的广告词被站长删掉。一条与文章无关的正文仍然要拒——
拒的是那段文案，不是那个站点。

### 1.1 「能发就发」不覆盖链接农场——2026-08-20 踩实了

第 1 条被读宽过一次，代价是一整轮白工，所以把边界写死在这里。

「没得选，只要能发的都发」管的是**主题不相关**。它从来不管链接农场——
本条自己下面就写着「不往色情、恶意软件、链接农场投放」。**主题不同 ≠ 垃圾场，
而站群就是垃圾场。**

**认定标准（哥飞《什么是 PBN？为什么谷歌要打击 PBN？》，2025-05-09），两条全中即是：**

1. 这批网站存在的**主要目的**，是否是为了给别的网站提供外链；
2. 这批网站是否**共同**给另外一批网站提供外链。

现场可见的指纹：同一套建站脚本、字段名逐字一致、**推广文案一字不差地出现在
几十个域名上**。最后一条最好用——相近的定价是市场，同一句话出现二十次是同一份代码。

**准入判据是真实流量，不是 DR。** 社群的硬过滤是 `traffic >= 100`；
有人一晚上跑出一批 DR50+ 的候选，**全是站群**——DR 靠互相刷，流量刷不出来。

**批量提交同一个网络是负优化，而且是双向的**：第一条链接若那个站真有流量还值一分，
后面几十条边际收益归零，而**垃圾指纹的风险线性累加**。买家和卖家的链接图谱是
连在一起的（上面第 2 条），所以连坐是机制，不是运气。

实测记录：一批 73 个同脚本目录，抽样五个域名测真实流量，
**四个连数据源的探测下限都够不着（DR、流量皆无）**，第五个质量分 17「避雷」、
三个月流量 -89%、被标注疑似算法处罚。整族淘汰。

**所以顺序是：先测流量，再谈发不发。** 反过来做，就是我们这次干的事——
把一整族站填完表才想起来验证它值不值得填。

### 1.2 流行度排名不是流量，别拿 Tranco 当门槛——2026-08-20 实测否掉

先测流量这条立住之后，第一个念头是找一份能一次覆盖几百个域名的免费名单来代替
逐个查——Tranco top-1M 看起来正好合适：免费、当天更新、本地查毫秒级。

**在已标注的坏样本上验证，它直接垮了。** 那 73 个被整族淘汰的站群域名里，
**48 个稳稳待在 Tranco top-1M 之内**，最好的一个排到 13 万名，最差的也有 99 万名——
也就是说站群横跨了整个 1M 区间，**没有任何一条分界线能把它和正经小站切开**。

原因和 DR 被刷是同一个：Tranco 是按 DNS 解析量/请求量这类**流行度**信号排的，
站群互相引用、爬虫反复解析，这些量它照单全收。**凡是网络内部能自产的信号，
都会被站群刷高**——DR 如此，流行度排名同样如此。

**可复用的判据：一个指标能不能当外链准入门槛，要拿一批已知的垃圾站去反测，
而不是拿几个知名站去正测。** 正测只能证明它认得出大站，那不是门槛要解决的问题。

Tranco 唯一还剩的用处是**分层**（排名极高的必然是真站，可以免测），不是准入。
真实访问量仍然只能从流量数据源逐个测——见下条。

### 1.3 逐个测太慢就把登录做一次，不要降级成猜

按单域名脚本测，每个 27 秒里有 20 秒花在「开面板→选节点→点打开→等落地」上，
几百个域名要三个多小时，而共享面板是**随时会到期的订阅**，慢就等于拿不到。

正确解法不是换一个更弱的免费指标，而是**把登录摊销掉**：启动一次，之后只换 SPA 的
hash 路由，单域名摊到 5 秒，419 个域名 35 分钟跑完。脚本见
`scripts/similarweb-batch.mjs`，它同时满足三条批量作业铁律——同步前台跑、
每测完一个立刻追加写盘、按已有输出续跑。

**「查不到数据」要当成结论记下来，不是失败**——但**只有数据源明说「没有」时才算**。
数据源有测量下限，落在下限之下就是流量小到不值得为它填表，记 `below-floor`
照样写进输出。**超时不算。** 渲染慢和真的没数据在超时那一刻不可区分，
而结论相反：实测两个自然流量 2.4K / 4.6K 的站被超时判成了「没流量」。
超时一律记 `error`（= 这次没测成），续跑时重测，并清掉它在主表里留下的旧判决。
详见 `field-notes.md`「超时不是结论」。

**真实瓶颈是每日配额，不是速度。** 单域名 5 秒不代表一小时能跑几百个——
实测跑到第 110 个左右，面板「API 今日配额」从 13% 打到 100%，之后每次调用都超时，
表现和会话挂掉完全一样。按 **每天约 120 个域名/张卡片** 规划批量筛选；
配额按卡片分开，一张见底就换另一张继续（换了就必须在数据里标明来源，口径不同）。
批量脚本必须有连续失败熔断，否则会话一挂就会连烧几十个域名各一整个超时。

## 2. nofollow 不是拒发理由

> 「也不用只盯着 dofollow。**只要不是垃圾外链，都可以要。**」
> —— 哥飞，`/experience/6ecar2s11g`

外链的主要作用是抬权重而不是引流量（`/experience/j03g66hczd`），
而 rel 值是**发完之后观测到的属性**，不是发之前的筛选条件。

**因此：**

- 不得因为"这个站是 nofollow"而跳过一个可发目标。
- 观测到的 rel 照实记进 ledger（这条规则不变，见 SKILL.md）。
- 报告里按观测到的 rel 分组呈现，让站主自己决定还发不发。

已知的例外仍然成立：如果某一批目标**全部**产出 `ugc external nofollow`，
且投入产出明显不划算，把这个事实连同数字一起报出来，由站主裁定，
**而不是替他决定不发**。

## 3. 两轮法：第一轮是筛选，第二轮才是生产

> 「一个新的域名，第一次发博客评论外链，你就当做是**还处于筛选过程中**。
> 等你发过一次了，你就知道哪些发了立马就能过，哪些需要审核。
> 等下次发时，你就只挑选那些**发了立马就能过**的……
> 从几十万甚至上百万个博客网站里挑选出来 1000 个发了能够立马过的，也足够你用了。
> **这 1000 个筛出来就是你自己的资源库，以后每个新站都能用。**」
> —— 哥飞，`/experience/my5b4978fj`

这正是本 Skill `data/free-channels.json` 与
[instant-publish.md](instant-publish.md) 存在的意义：它们就是那个资源库。

**因此：**

- 第一轮的失败**不是失败**，是筛选结果，必须落库。哪怕一个目标退回审核队列，
  也要把"需要审核"这个观测写进 channel 记录，它对下一轮有价值。
- 第二轮只跑 `instant-publish`（提交即公开）那一档。
- 资源库是跨站复用的资产。不要按单个项目丢弃它。

从业者补充的两个衰减事实，一并记住：

- 「有些网站第一次能发通过，**过了一段时间再发就发不出来了**。」（回帖，小占）
  → 白名单会腐烂，要复检，不能一次筛完永久信任。
- 「经常遇到评论但是不显示在页面，但是页面会刷新一次并显示评论编号，
  **这种貌似没有成功**。」（回帖，温勇）
  → 提交后出现计数变化但页面无锚点，判定为**未公开**，不得记 `public`。

## 4. 垃圾的判定标准，以及不用管的那部分

> 「怎么识别垃圾外链？Ahrefs 里有 best link、非 Spam 这些筛选选项，用它筛一遍就行。
> 至于自己被挂了垃圾外链，**谷歌的拒绝链接工具打不开也别管**，
> 谷歌说过它会自己识别有害外链。」—— 哥飞，`/experience/6ecar2s11g`

**因此：**

- 垃圾判定用工具的 spam 信号，不用"我觉得这站看着不专业"。
- 除非有明确的负面 SEO 证据，**不要主动去做 disavow**。
  [link-quality-rubric.md](link-quality-rubric.md) 第 4 节的 disavow 流程仍然
  有效，但它的触发条件收紧到该节自己写的那几种"clear evidence of risk"，
  日常发链campaign 不触发它。

## 5. 评分表是排序器，不是准入门槛

[link-quality-rubric.md](link-quality-rubric.md) 的 LQS 六因子（DR 25%、
相关性 25%、流量 15%、位置 15%、锚文本 10%、follow 状态 10%）
**只用于给候选排序和给站主解释一条链的成色**。

**不得**把 LQS、DR 阈值、或该文档里任何 Healthy/Warning/Critical 表格
当成"发不发"的开关。那些表是用来**读一个已有链接档案**的，
不是用来在发链之前卡目标的。新站的档案本来就长得像 "Healthy new site"
那一行——45 个引荐域名、DR 28——拿成熟站的阈值去卡它只会让它永远发不出去。

## 6. 锚文本：优先写品牌名

> 「六个地方一起做：全站页头显示品牌名称；全站 Meta Title 里写品牌名称；
> 页脚写上网站名称和介绍；用结构化数据标注品牌名称；Meta 里用相应标记；
> **发外链的时候锚文本写品牌名称**。」—— 哥飞，`/experience/yht6kpa6gc`

目的是让谷歌在搜索结果里显示品牌名而不是光秃秃的域名。
这与 rubric 里"Brand anchors 30-40% 为健康"是一致的，
且给了一个明确的默认值：**没有特殊理由时，锚文本用品牌名。**

落到具体做法：锚文本用**产品名本身**（例：`Acme Tools`），不写裸域名
（`acmetools.com`），更不写 `free online image compressor` 这类精确匹配商业词。

## 7. 核验：GSC 看数量，`site:` 看单条，Ahrefs 谁都不代表

> 「用 `site:别人的网址` 来判断有我们链接的那个网页是否被谷歌收录了。
> 这不是二选一，跟 GSC 是互为补充的方法。GSC 看数量、也看具体链接网址，
> 但是更新不及时；某一条到底收没收录，就用 site 去看。
> 另外**别拿 Ahrefs 的数字当谷歌的数字**。我发了 113 条，Ahrefs 只抓到 83 条有效的。
> 没被 Ahrefs 爬虫发现，不代表没被谷歌爬虫发现；被 Ahrefs 发现了的，
> 也不一定被谷歌爬虫发现了。**这是两套独立的爬虫。**」
> —— 哥飞，`/experience/aosuifgzrn`

这与 SKILL.md 里"`indexed` 必须标明引擎"的规则完全一致，并且给了操作方法：

| 要回答的问题 | 用什么 | 不能用什么 |
|---|---|---|
| 我一共有多少外链 | GSC 链接报告 | Ahrefs / Semrush 的总数 |
| 这一条到底收录没有 | `site:<承载页 URL>` | GSC（更新滞后） |
| 这一条存不存在 | 直接打开那一页看锚点 | 任何第三方工具的"已发现" |

**因此：ledger 里 `indexed@google` 的证据必须是 `site:` 查询结果或 GSC 截图，
第三方工具的抓取记录不构成 `indexed` 证据**，最多只能记成 `public` 的旁证。

## 8. 抄同行的作业是找目标的主路径

> 「这样的博客比较少，主动找也很难找，所以一般就是通过**抄作业**的形式来找。
> 也就是说，同行已经帮你找好了，你只需去看看同行有哪些外链，然后你也去发就行了。」
> —— 哥飞，`/experience/ao30ki8tzk`

回帖里点名了具体标的：

> 「最近用 semrush 看之前火的 sprunki 网站的外链就能看到很多很多……
> 推荐还是直接抄 sprunki 这种网站的作业，**这些网站每天都会不停发外链，
> 根本不愁没作业抄**。」（回帖，LeeShall）

同一条回帖还给了一个时间常识：**评论发出后第三方工具不会立刻收录，过几天才有**。
所以"发完立刻用 Ahrefs 查不到"不构成失败判定。

另一条回帖提到 `submify` 声称集成了 800 个可直接评论的博客、
200 个可直接发布的目录站（回帖，祥子）。**未经本 Skill 验证**，
按 [instant-publish.md](instant-publish.md) 的"Reading a third-party list"
规则对待：可以拿来当候选来源，不可以直接信它的 dofollow 列。

## 9. 与本 Skill 既有规则的关系

| 既有规则 | 状态 |
|---|---|
| 不得伪造身份、评论、指标 | **不变**，哥飞的做法也是真实身份 + 真实讨论 |
| 不绕 CAPTCHA / 登录 / 付费墙 | **不变** |
| 不投色情、恶意软件、链接农场 | **不变** |
| 不把提交当成外链记账 | **不变** |
| 未观测就不得记 follow/nofollow/indexed | **不变**，第 7 条还把证据标准写得更严了 |
| 「不相关就不发」 | **推翻**，见第 1 条 |
| 「nofollow 没价值所以不发」 | **推翻**，见第 2 条 |
| 「DR / LQS 低于某值就不发」 | **推翻**，见第 5 条 |

## 10. 2026 AI 搜索范式：引用价值、Information Gain、Preferred Sources（2026-08）

第 1 条「数量优先于相关性」和第 5 条「评分表是排序器」在 AI Overviews / AI Mode
铺开之后仍然成立，但多了三条需要放进判断里的新事实。它们**不改变准入门槛**——
门槛仍然是第 1 条那句「先测流量，再谈发不发」——但改变了"值不值得优先做"和
"排序时怎么打分"。

**AI 引用比自然排名第一更值钱。** 在已经出现 AI 摘要的搜索词上，自然排名第一
的点击率从 27% 掉到了 11%（SISTRIX 2026），58.5% 的搜索完全没有点击
（SparkToro/Datos 2026）。这意味着"拿到第一"这件事本身的商业价值在缩水，
而"被 AI 摘要/AI Mode 引用"变成了更值钱的位置。

**因此：**

- 第 1 条"能发就发、数量优先"对新站仍然有效——这条不推翻。
- 但排序时多一条偏好：**同等条件下优先选内容有原创性的目标页**——一手测评、
  原创数据、真实的专业经验，而不是把别人说过的话换个说法再讲一遍。这是排序
  偏好，不是准入条件：一个过了流量门槛的商品化内容页仍然发，不因为内容非原创
  而拒绝。

**Information Gain 信号被重新加权。** 2026 年 3 月 Core Update 之后，"这个页面
有没有提供别处没有的新知识"这个信号的权重上调了。来自真正有原创内容的页面
（相对于复述型的商品化内容）的链接更值钱，**不是因为它改变了准入门槛**——门槛
仍然是流量——**而是因为这样的页面本身更容易被 AI 引用、也更容易排得靠前**，
链接的传导价值因此更高。落到操作上：这是[link-quality-rubric.md](link-quality-rubric.md)
排序环节要考虑的新因子，不是发不发的开关。

**Preferred Sources 是一个观察项，不是门槛。** 用户现在可以手动标记自己信任的
发布者（截至 2026-05 已有 34.5 万+ 站点被标记），被标记的站点获得约 2 倍的点击率。
一条链接来自被标记为 Preferred Source 的网站，价值更高——**记下这个观察，作为
排序参考，不作为发不发的准入条件**，与第 5 条"评分表是排序器不是准入门槛"的
原则一致。

## 哥飞社区的众筹外链榜（可脚本刷新）

`new.web.cafe` 上有一场**征集型悬赏**「网站上线之后，你会去哪些地方提交外链？」
（`/ask/bounty/wlhmhdaoqg`），162 人提交、汇成一个 **588 条**的按票排序榜单，
**每条还带提交者写的理由**（免费/付费、价格、能不能被 GSC 收录、有没有真实流量）。
这是一份**众人真金白银试过之后投票投出来的**外链目标清单，
比任何一份「100 个外链平台」的博客汇总都可信。

刷新它不需要人肉抄：

```bash
node ../../rankup/scripts/webcafe-forum.mjs bounty wlhmhdaoqg \
     --transport browser --json --out board.json
```

**三件必须知道的事：**

1. 内容在 `collect.board[]`，**不在 `answers[]`**。只读 answers 会得到「0 条答案」
   ——不报错、不为空，就是答错了数组。
2. **匿名拿不到**：`board` 会是空数组（HTTP 仍是 200）。必须 `--transport browser`。
3. 榜单要到状态 `open`（已开榜）才可见；`collecting` 阶段登录也是空的。

字段与全站接口地图见 [`../../rankup/references/webcafe-forum.md`](../../rankup/references/webcafe-forum.md)。
**注意那是只读的**——脚本对该站只发 GET，绝不解锁/支付/提交。

**2026-09-09 把整张榜单打回数据集**：`submission-targets.json` 的 target 定义和
`paid-platforms.json` 的每个平台条目上都可以带 `communityBoards[]`——每条记
`board`（榜单 id，这份榜单固定是 `webcafe-bounty-wlhmhdaoqg`）、`rank`（按票排
序的名次）、`votes`（票数）、`submitterNote`（提交者理由原文，多人重复提交时
合并去重，截断到 500 字）、`boardUrl`（帖子本身）、`boardEntryUrl`（榜单条目里
写的原始 URL）、`capturedAt`（抓取日期）。它只是「多少人推荐在这提交」的排序信
号，不是外链证据——不能替代 `evidence`/`status` 该有的探测。取数走本节前面的
`webcafe-forum.mjs bounty wlhmhdaoqg --transport browser --json`；回写时按域名
（不带 scheme/www）匹配已有条目追加 `communityBoards`，榜单里有但数据集没有的
域名，按 `status: "unverified"` 补一条新 target（`sourceList` 仍写
`"web.cafe bounty wlhmhdaoqg"`），解析不出域名或不是外链平台的条目（纯描述性
文字如「导航站」「各种可以带链接的论坛」）不硬塞，弃掉。


## Tools Share dashboard

Entry point, hardcoded because it is a public URL and every owner of this Skill
lands on their **own** account there:

```
https://dash.3ue.co/zh-Hans/#/page/m/home
```

`TOOLS_SHARE_DASHBOARD_URL` still overrides it, for anyone on a different panel.
There is nothing secret in the URL — the account lives in the browser session,
so a reader of this file gains nothing without the owner's logged-in Chrome.

Tools Share is a **shared-account proxy**: it holds one paid subscription and
lends it out through its own origins. As measured 2026-08-19 the panel carried
two SEO cards, and the card labels describe the *plan*, not the product:

| Card label on the panel | What it actually launches | Origin |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `🔖 PRO 全球版` | Similarweb PRO | `https://sim.3ue.co` |
| `🔖 GURU 地区数据库` | Semrush GURU | `https://sem.3ue.co` |

So the mapping is not guessable from the label — verify the landed origin
rather than trusting the card text, which is what `tools-share-open.mjs` does.

⚠️ **`sem.3ue.co` is the ONLY authorised Semrush base, and typing the wrong host
fails SILENTLY onto a sales page.** Measured 2026-08-29: a deep link built on
`www.semrush.com/analytics/traffic/...` **does not error**. It renders a
skeleton, bounces to `/analytics/traffic/` — the **public marketing page**
(`innerText` 514, 10 images, title
`Traffic Analytics: Estimate Any Website's Traffic | Semrush`) — then bounces
again to overview. **A scanner will record "no table, has svg, has export
buttons" off a sales page and file it as a finding about your target.** After
those bounces the tab was sitting on **`mmradar.gg`**'s domain overview (23
filled cells, AS 22, organic 23.9K), so any probe reading `cells > 0` at that
moment files someone else's numbers under your domain. Assert **landed path ==
requested route** and **header domain == requested target** before classifying
anything — see <law-ref id="readiness-must-bind-to-this-query"/> and
`scripts/lib-report-readiness.mjs`.

### Use the script, not hand-driven clicks

```bash
node scripts/tools-share-open.mjs --tool semrush
node scripts/tools-share-open.mjs --tool similarweb
node scripts/tools-share-open.mjs --tool semrush \
  --goto '/analytics/backlinks/referring-domains/?q=example.com&searchType=domain'
```

It opens the panel in a named background OpenCLI session, picks the card by
matching its label, clicks `打开`, polls until the expected origin appears, and
prints the subscription expiry and today's quota. It **never types a password**:
a logged-out panel is an error telling the owner to sign in themselves.

### 节点：会挂，而且必须在点「打开」之前选

每张卡片上有一个**节点选择器**（`节点1`…`节点N`），面板是 Angular + Nebular，
结构是 `<nb-select>` 里一个 `button.select-button` 触发，选项是 `<nb-option>`。

```bash
node scripts/tools-share-open.mjs --tool similarweb --node 5
```

四条实测规则：

1. **节点会挂，而且挂的样子很像脚本坏了。** 挂掉的节点点「打开」之后，工具页落到一个
   空白页或者长时间不渲染（`bodyText` 为空、标题却是对的）。这时**先换节点**，
   不要去调选择器、加等待、怀疑登录态——那些都不是原因。
2. **选节点必须在点「打开」之前。** 点完「打开」标签页就跳到工具域了，
   那边一个 `nb-select` 都没有。（这个顺序错误的症状是 `Seen: []`，
   读起来像「面板上没有节点选择器」，实际是你已经不在面板上了。）
3. **倍率越高，配额消耗越快**（面板自己的提示原文）。没有特别理由就用 `X 1` 的节点。
4. **卡片上的产品名是 logo 图片，没有文字。** 想按卡片文案定位卡片会失败；
   产品名真正出现在节点选择器自己的文案里（`节点3 倍率 X 1 🔖 PRO 全球版`），
   所以直接在 `nb-select` 列表里按 label 挑。

### 会话会停在工具 origin 上

**硬规则（2026-08-26 用户现场发现）**：同一任务、同一工具从头到尾固定一个 session；
零值或异常复查仍复用它，整批完成后只 `close` 一次。每次重新打开 dashboard 都可能被平台
计作新的客户端登录。共享启动器已增加 `existing-tool-session` 快速路径，但调用脚本仍必须
显式传同一个 `--session`，不能靠默认名碰运气。

点过一次「打开」之后，这个 OpenCLI 会话的标签页就留在 `sim`/`sem` 那边了。
**再 `open` 面板不保证把它导航回来**，`close` + 重新 `open` 实测也可能救不回来。
脚本已经在 `open` 之后核对当前 host，两次都不对就直接报错并指路，
而不是带着一个读不到面板的会话继续跑。

会话名之间的隔离本身是好的——三个不同 session 名实测拿到三个不同的 `page` id，
互不干扰。所以遇到这种情况，**换一个 `--session` 名重跑**是最省事的解法，
或者干脆在所有者的 Chrome 里手工走一遍：打开面板 → 在那张卡上选节点 → 点「打开」→
在落地的那个标签页里继续操作。

### Three things that will waste an hour if you do not know them

**The launcher is what mints the session.** Navigating straight to
`https://sem.3ue.co/analytics/...` before clicking `打开` lands on
**`about:blank`** — not an error page, not a redirect to a login, just blank.
Launch first, then navigate inside the established session (`--goto` does
exactly this). A blank page here means "no session yet", not "the tool is down".

**The launch URL carries a session token** as a `__gmitm=` query parameter.
Never log it, never paste it into a file, never commit it. Strip the query
string before printing any URL from these origins.

**The subscription is short-dated and the panel says so.** The instance measured
on 2026-08-19 had **2 days left** (expiry `2026-08-20 21:56`) with per-tool daily
quotas at 2% and 15%. Read `到期时间` / `剩余天数` / `API 今日配额` off the panel
before planning a campaign around this data source; the script returns all three
and warns at 7 days or fewer. Plan the pull around the expiry, not the other way
around.

### Similarweb role

Use Similarweb to:

- discover similar and competing domains;
- estimate traffic/channel mix;
- compare geographic and topical fit;
- prioritize which domains enter backlink research.

Do not treat estimated traffic as proof of link quality or causal SEO impact.

Use `scripts/similarweb-query.mjs` for repeatable domain research through this
owner-authorized session. It performs DOM-based navigation and readiness
polling; it does not use screen coordinates or expose session cookies.

```bash
node scripts/similarweb-query.mjs --domain example.com --report performance \
  --out .backlink/similarweb-example.com.json
```

The app can take 20–60 seconds to initialize. A completed report with N/A or no
similar sites is evidence of sparse Similarweb coverage, not a script failure.
Traffic, rank, channel, and competitive-site values remain directional and
time-sensitive.

**Scope evidence, direction fields, and coverage (2026-09-13 audit fix).** The
report page's own "变动" (change) columns encode up/down through an SVG icon
plus color, not through any arrow character in the text — reading only the
text used to make every change value come out non-negative. `clicksChangePercent` /
`rankChangePercent` / geo `changePercent` are now `null` with a sibling
`...DirectionUnknown: true` flag whenever the direction can't be resolved from
text glyphs or the DOM hint (`data-icon` / computed color) captured alongside
it — never silently defaulted to positive. The same-tab session can also carry
a stale date-range window over into the next navigation even though the
request asked for a different one; every report now returns a `scopeEvidence`
object (`windowLabel`, `windowRequested`, `windowMatchesRequest`,
`windowUnverified`, plus country/device observation flags) built from what the
page itself renders, cross-checked against the navigation's own landed-route
evidence (`navRouteWindow`).

**A confirmed window mismatch stops the query outright (2026-09-13 second
review), it is not just noted and passed through.** `similarweb-query.mjs`
detects this the moment the report settles (no extra waiting, and no reliance
on a timeout) and reports `status: "scope-mismatch"` with a non-zero exit
code; the parsed values are moved to `unconfirmedMetrics` / `unconfirmedGeo` /
`unconfirmedKeywords` instead of the normal fields, so a caller that only
checks the normal fields for presence cannot mistake widened-window data for
the requested window. `similarweb-batch.mjs` marks only the affected JSONL row
this way (`stopReason: "window-scope-mismatch"`, values under
`unconfirmedTotalVisits` etc.) — other domains in the same run are unaffected,
and because that `stopReason` is not in the resumable-complete set, a later
`--domains-file` run retries it automatically. `similarweb-keywords.mjs` does
the same per seed (`unconfirmedRows` instead of `rows`). Since Similarweb
legitimately widens a small site's window on its own, all three scripts accept
`--accept-window-fallback` to treat the rendered window as authoritative and
proceed normally (still labelled, via `status: "ok-window-fallback-accepted"`
and a `windowActual` field, so it is never confused with a request that
matched outright). Anything that could not be independently confirmed but was
not a confirmed mismatch — window text unreadable, the "全球"/"所有流量"
selector text unreadable, `audience-geo`'s row-count-vs-header-total check
inconclusive, or the (currently unconfirmed) loading-indicator DOM check —
surfaces as `status: "ok-unverified"` plus a `warnings` array naming each
unverified dimension, and a non-zero exit code, rather than looking identical
to a fully-confirmed `"ok"` result. The audience-geo tab has no country
selector at all, so `country` in its URL is a positional parameter only;
`scopeEvidence.countryApplicable` is `false` for that report and is not the
same signal as "unverified". Table-shaped reports (`audience-geo`,
`site-keywords`) also carry `rowsExpected` / `rowsCaptured` / `truncated` so a
caller can tell a fully-read table from one still batching in more rows; when
the page's own row total can't be parsed, that is reported as
`rowsCompletenessUnverified` (feeding into `ok-unverified`) rather than
treated as confirmed-complete.
Output additionally carries a static `notCovered` list of report sections the
scripts do not extract yet (chart panels, some audience tabs) — see
`similarweb-query.mjs`'s `NOT_COVERED` map for the current list and reasons.

**2026-09-13 second review, confirmed by live DOM (not inference).** The
"变动" (change) direction turned out to be **two distinct real mechanisms**,
not one mechanism guessed two ways: the `.swReactTable-column` family
(`audience-geo`, and the `channels` report's newly-added detail table,
`channelDetail`) marks direction via a wrapper `div.changePercentage` class
(`positive`/`negative`) with no SVG involved at all; the Ant Design row table
(`site-keywords`) carries a precise signed ratio in
`[data-automation="cell-value"]`'s `data-automation-value` attribute, with an
`.SWReactIcons[data-automation-icon-name]` ("arrow-up"/"arrow-down") and an
icon fill color (`#4FBF40` up, `#FF442D` down — both directions now confirmed,
not just the "red = down" half) as fallbacks; a `"NEW"` value
(`data-automation-value="New"`, a keyword with no prior-period data) is a
third state, not a placeholder and not an unresolved direction. The
`.app-loader`/`.sw_loader`/`.first-time-loader` classes present in the DOM
turned out to be a one-time account-onboarding overlay unrelated to report
loading (zero-size once past first boot); `audience-geo` and `channels` were
specifically tested for a per-table loading indicator and confirmed to have
none, so `loadingIndicatorUnverified` no longer applies to those two —
`site-keywords`'s main table still carries it (untested this round). Its 5
stat cards (`statCards`: Cannibalization / long-tail / SERP-opportunity /
high-traffic / low-potential) do have a confirmed per-card signal instead
(`data-automation-button-loading`), extracted via `deriveSiteKeywordStatCards`.
Full live-DOM notes: see the `similarweb-live-dom.md` scratchpad referenced in
the corresponding session record.

**2026-09-13 third review (fully offline, no browser).** Three new report
values reuse the confirmed structures above: `--report audience-interests`
(the "cross-visited sites" table, same `.swReactTable-column`/mechanism-A
framework as `audience-geo`), `--report audience-overlap` (a text block, not a
table — "average unique visitors" per site plus a total), and
`--report audience-demographics` — the last one is deliberately thin: the one
live sample for that tab had incomplete data, so instead of a full extractor
it ships a three-way signal (section title found / confirmed empty text
observed / neither) and is documented as low-confidence rather than pretending
otherwise. Also fixed: `suspectColumns:["点击量"]` on `site-keywords` traced to
a real bug — the clicks/share cell regex didn't accept the `< 0.01%`
below-threshold form Similarweb uses for long-tail rows (over half of a real
75-row page), so the whole column was mis-flagged; fixed and regression-tested.
Same live-run's "LOST" value (a keyword that dropped out of rankings — the
mirror of `"NEW"`) was found miscounted as a parse failure; also fixed.
**Scroll-to-bottom, requested but not yet confirmable:** unlike a known Semrush
issue where a report requires scrolling all the way down before every section
loads, four already-completed live runs of `similarweb-query.mjs` (no scroll
code existed) captured full bottom-of-page content on the first read —
evidence, not assumption, that these specific pages don't gate content on
scroll position. As a defensive measure anyway, every table-shaped report now
attempts a generic scroll-to-bottom (window plus any element that looks
internally scrollable) and reports what it found in `scrollEvidence`, but
because the real scroll container was never confirmed live, that evidence is
**not** wired into the pass/fail gate — a wrong guess there would turn four
currently-reliable reports into reliable timeouts instead. Consistent with
this file's "never claim confirmed without evidence" rule, those reports
carry `scrollUnverified: true` unconditionally until a live session confirms
the mechanism, which keeps `status` at `ok-unverified` rather than `ok` even
when everything else checks out.

**2026-09-13 fourth review (live, Chrome exclusive; ≤6 verification runs on
howolddoyoulook.com plus one read-only comparison-domain check, not persisted
in this repo).** The real scroll container is now confirmed:
`.sw-layout-scrollable-element` (non-hashed class, present on
performance/audience-geo/audience-interests/channels), not `window` — this
layout's `window.scrollY`/`document.documentElement.scrollHeight` are always
pinned to the viewport height, so a window-based bottom check would always be
a false positive. `SCROLL_TO_BOTTOM` now scrolls that real element and records
`{containerFound, containerSelector, scrollTop, scrollHeight, clientHeight,
atBottom, hidden, visibilityState}` on every poll into a new `scrollTrace`
array (plus the final read's `scrollEvidence`), following the same shape as
`lib-semrush-overview.mjs`'s scroll instrumentation (read-only reference, not
copied). **This still stops short of a hard gate.** Direct evidence (fresh
tab, zero scroll, `hidden: true`) showed full bottom-of-page content already
present on two pages — the opposite of Semrush's IntersectionObserver-gated
case — and no hidden-vs-visible controlled experiment could be run this round
(the exploration tool's tab is permanently `document.hidden === true`,
unaffected by `open -a`/`osascript activate`). So `scrollUnverified` stays
unconditionally `true` for the same four gated reports — not because the
selector is unconfirmed (it is), but because the causal claim "hidden tabs
block this specific page's lazy content" has real counter-evidence and no
controlled test yet. What *did* ship as a genuinely low-risk, evidence-aligned
change: `windowMode` now forces `foreground` for
`audience-geo`/`channels`/`audience-interests`/`site-keywords` regardless of
`--window`, matching the Semrush precedent on the same `launchTool`
infrastructure. A production run of `--report audience-geo` this round (real
`opencli`-driven Chrome, not the exploration tool) recorded `scrollTrace` with
`hidden: false, visibilityState: "visible", atBottom: true` on every poll —
one supporting data point that forcing foreground does yield a visible tab in
production, still not a substitute for a real A/B.

**site-keywords loading indicator: confirmed, no longer a candidate.**
`.ant-spin-spinning`, `.ant-table-placeholder`, and `[aria-busy="true"]` were
caught firing together with `rows: 0` mid-load and clearing together once
`rows > 0`; this is now wired into the read loop as a real blocking gate
(a fingerprint read returns `null` — "keep polling" — while any of them is
present), and `loadingIndicatorUnverified` no longer applies to
`site-keywords`. It still applies to `audience-interests`/`audience-overlap`/
`audience-demographics`, which were not tested for an independent loading
indicator this round.

**A real, previously-latent pagination bug.** `audience-geo`/`channels`/
`audience-interests` (the `.swReactTable-column` family) turned out to
paginate too, once past roughly 100 rows — an "out of N" footer
(`SWReactTableWrapperFooter-*` hashed class, stable "out of \d+" text) rather
than Ant Design's pager. Every `howolddoyoulook.com` table stayed ≤52 rows so
this never surfaced before; a large comparison domain checked read-only this
round had 38,818 interest-graph rows against ~100 rendered per page, and the
old `RENDER_SIGNAL` (`rowsRead >= totalRowsOnPage`, where the total is the
site-wide header count) could never be satisfied — any large-enough domain
would time out as `inconclusive` forever. Fixed: a `MULTI_PAGE_FOOTER` match
now also counts as a legitimate stopping point (page 1 of many, truncated but
not "still loading"), OR'd into all three affected `RENDER_SIGNAL` functions.

**audience-interests fixes from the same comparison-domain check (domain name
not persisted here or in any repo file; fixtures use `example-site.test`).**
`crossVisit` is a percentage (`"86.51%"`), not a plain number as assumed last
round — fixed to parse with `{percent: true}`. `AdSense` is a conditional
column present only on some sites (7 headers on howolddoyoulook.com, 6 on the
comparison domain) — moved out of the required `wanted` map into a standalone
optional lookup so its absence no longer produces a false `missingColumns`
alarm.

**audience-demographics: upgraded from a 3-state signal to real field
extraction**, using the comparison domain's full (English-labelled, despite
an otherwise Chinese UI) structure: `Male\n(\d+)%\nFemale\n(\d+)%` →
`genderMalePercent`/`genderFemalePercentConfirmed`; six percentage lines
positionally paired with the six age-bracket labels (`18-24` … `65+`) →
`ageDistribution`; and the "域/竞争对手份额/受众群体份额/访问持续时间/页面数/
访问/跳出率" segment table → `segment` (reads the two filter lines before the
header, then six data-row lines after). The old Chinese-label heuristic
(`hasGenderSplit`/`genderFemalePercent`) is kept as a fallback signal, not
replaced — the confirmed structure is additive. All three fragility points
(English labels despite Chinese UI, positional not label-adjacent age
pairing, segment table shows only the currently-selected dropdown
combination) are documented next to `deriveAudienceDemographicsSignal`.

**site-keywords sub-tab implemented: `--traffic-tab total|organic|paid`**
(default `total`, unchanged from before). The three tabs are a `react-tabs`
list (`li[data-automation-item="total"|"organic"|"paid"]`, confirmed live) —
but the script does **not** click them. Clicking was tested and silently
flips the requested window to `6m` as a side effect of that interaction path
(reproduced even switching into `total`/`organic`, not just `paid`);
constructing the destination URL directly with
`selectedPageTab=Total|Organic|Paid` and cold-navigating avoids that
entirely, confirmed for both `total` (pre-existing) and `organic` (this
round) staying at the requested `1m`. `paid` is the one genuine exception:
even a direct URL requesting `1m` gets silently upgraded to `6m` by the page
itself, every time (howolddoyoulook.com has no paid keywords at all, so the
result is that report's own legitimate "似乎没有足够的数据" empty-state text,
not an error) — rather than surface that as a `scope-mismatch` on every paid
run, the script's requested window for `paid` is itself set to `6m`, so
`windowActual` and `windowRequested` agree honestly instead of needing
`--accept-window-fallback` as a permanent workaround. Both `total` and
`organic` were verified against the real 75-row page that originally
triggered the `suspectColumns`/`"LOST"` bugs (see above) and came back clean
(`suspectColumns: []`, `partialLossColumns: []`) on both tabs in this round's
live runs. `trafficTab` is echoed in the output for `site-keywords` only.

**2026-09-13 fifth review (offline design, then live-confirmed same day once
Chrome was free; two mid-round scope corrections from the coordinator, both
applied).** The `ok-unverified`-forever problem this created for the four
scroll-gated reports now has an off switch: `similarweb-query.mjs` gained
`SCROLL_AB_CONCLUSIONS`, a per-report table (`{concluded, verdict, date,
notes}`) plus a pure `scrollGateSatisfied()` function wired into each affected
`RENDER_SIGNAL` (including a new entry for `site-keywords`, which previously
had none). Once a report's entry is flipped to `concluded: true`,
`scrollUnverified` stops firing regardless of which verdict — `'not-needed'`
because the pre-existing row/pagination/loading-placeholder signals already
cover completeness, `'needed'` because reaching that RENDER_SIGNAL check at
all now requires a confirmed stopped-at-bottom-and-visible read.

**All four entries are now `concluded: true` / `'not-needed'`**, switched
after a real `similarweb-scroll-ab.mjs --activate-chrome true` run against
howolddoyoulook.com for each report: zero-scroll and scrolled-to-bottom
returned identical row counts and `scrollHeight` in all four cases (11/51/
19/75 rows; 2004/2898/1581/3837px), so content does not gate on scroll
position for this site. Explicitly logged sample limitation (in each entry's
`notes`, not just here): one small site, 11–75 rows, well under the ~100-row
threshold where these tables switch to pagination instead of more scrolling —
whether a *large* site's *single page* ever lazy-mounts rows was not tested.
The `channels` conclusion carries the least risk from that gap (its channel
taxonomy is a small fixed enum, unrelated to site size); the other three
inherit a partial backstop from the pre-existing row-count/pagination-footer
signals, which should catch an incomplete read as `inconclusive` even if this
particular conclusion turns out not to generalize to a much larger single
page. `audience-interests`'s run happened to catch `hidden: true` in both
groups (the foreground request didn't actually win focus that time) and still
matched — an unplanned but consistent data point, not a designed hidden-vs-
visible test.

**`backlink/scripts/dev/similarweb-scroll-ab.mjs`** does the zero-scroll-vs-
scrolled-to-bottom comparison, reusing `lib-tools-share.mjs`'s real
`launchTool`/`gotoInTool`/`captureStable` (not the hidden-by-construction
exploration tool) and the already-tested `derive*Rows` row counts from
`lib-similarweb.mjs` instead of a second row-counting implementation; it also
now surfaces `subscription` (quota/expiry) like the main script does, added
after the first live runs showed the diagnostic output was missing it.
Verdicts are never written back automatically — the table above was edited by
hand after reading each run's output.

**Live-run confirmation, same session, official `similarweb-query.mjs`
against howolddoyoulook.com (global scope):** `channels` and `site-keywords`
now come back `status: "ok"` with zero warnings — the scroll dimension was
their only remaining gap. `audience-geo` and `audience-interests` still come
back `ok-unverified`, but for reasons unrelated to scrolling:
`page_hidden_during_capture` fired on both (a real hidden read was caught
mid-poll, independent of the AB conclusion, exactly the safety net's intended
job), and `audience-interests` additionally still carries
`loading_indicator_unverified` (never confirmed for that tab, untouched by
this round). One `channels` attempt hit a transient
`shared_proxy_blank_or_unavailable`-style node timeout unrelated to this
work and succeeded on retry.

**Mid-round correction: stop auto-raising Chrome without being asked.** The
existing `windowMode` auto-foreground for `audience-geo`/`channels`/
`audience-interests`/`site-keywords` (round 3) was reported to visibly steal
OS focus during normal use. `similarweb-query.mjs` now gates that forcing
behind `--activate-chrome` (same name as the Semrush scripts' switch, though
the underlying mechanism differs — this flips the `window` argument passed
into the shared `launchTool`, not a separate `open -a` call): default stays
`true` (current behavior preserved) until told to flip the default; passing
`false` drops back to the plain `--window`-controlled default. Turning it off
does **not** relax the correctness bar — a new `pageWasHiddenDuringCapture`
flag inspects every polled `scrollTrace` entry (not just the final one) and,
if any read caught `document.hidden === true`, forces a dedicated
`page_hidden_during_capture` warning independent of `scrollUnverified`/the
AB-conclusion state, so a report can never look confirmed-clean after a run
that is known to have gone hidden. The new `similarweb-scroll-ab.mjs` was
written after this correction landed and never had the forcing behavior in
the first place — it defaults `--activate-chrome` to `false` (unlike the main
script's preserved-default `true`), since adding a fresh instance of the
just-reported pattern to brand-new code would be worse than not testing
visibility by default.

**2026-09-14: `--activate-chrome` default flips to `false`, and `windowMode`
stops being a foreground/background binary.** Two changes, driven by a
focus-stealing audit that measured `--activate-chrome true` (the then-default)
issuing 31–32 `open -a`/foreground-window requests in one normal run:

1. `opencli-core.mjs`/`lib-tools-share.mjs` used to collapse any `windowMode`
   that wasn't exactly `'foreground'` down to `'background'` — `active` and
   `isolated` were silently unreachable through those three call sites, even
   though opencli itself has always supported all four
   (`foreground|active|background|isolated`; see opencli's own `src/runtime.ts`
   `BrowserWindowMode`). Fixed to a single `normalizeWindowMode()` pass-through
   used by all three, plus `reuseDecision()`'s hidden-tab relaunch check now
   also fires for `active` (not just `foreground`) since both are "caller wants
   this tab visible" requests, unlike `background`/`isolated`.
2. `similarweb-query.mjs`'s own `resolveWindowMode()` default flips from
   `background` to `active` (tab selected, un-throttled, but never raises the
   OS window), and `--activate-chrome` itself defaults to `false` (was `true`).
   `FOREGROUND_FORCED_REPORTS` still exists for the four scroll-gated reports,
   but only fires when a caller explicitly passes `--activate-chrome true` —
   the round-5 scroll A/B evidence above already showed `active`-level
   visibility is sufficient for all four, so the stronger, focus-stealing
   `foreground` default is no longer needed. `page_hidden_during_capture` keeps
   independently forcing `ok-unverified` for `audience-geo`/`channels`/
   `site-keywords` (their round-5 A/B samples were all captured under
   `hidden:false`, so they say nothing about the hidden case) — the one
   exception is `audience-interests`, whose round-5 sample was captured with
   **both** A/B groups at `hidden:true` and matching row counts (see above:
   "an unplanned but consistent data point"), which is exactly the kind of
   direct hidden-case evidence needed to relax it; output now carries
   `hiddenCaptureRelaxed` per report so this isn't silent. `similarweb-batch.mjs`
   and `similarweb-keywords.mjs` get the same `active` default via a shared
   `resolveSimilarwebWindowMode()` in `lib-similarweb.mjs` — the latter had a
   dead-on-arrival bug fixed as part of this change: it used to pass the whole
   `flags` object into `launchTool({ tool, session, flags, ... })`, a key
   `launchToolInner` never destructures, so `--window` never reached opencli at
   all and every run was an implicit `background`.
3. `semrush-overview.mjs`'s own `DEFAULT_WINDOW` flips from `foreground` to
   `active` for the same reason (moved into `lib-semrush-overview.mjs` as
   `resolveOverviewWindowMode()`, so it's offline-testable without a browser).
   `--activate-chrome` keeps its `true` default here (unlike `similarweb-query.mjs`)
   because it now means something narrower and safer: it only gates the OS-level
   `open -a "Google Chrome"` calls (`createChromeActivator()`, also moved into
   the lib), which are capped at `--max-activations` (default 3) for the whole
   run instead of firing on every hidden read unconditionally; past the cap the
   existing tab-hidden block still applies, and `readiness.visibilityActions.hint`
   tells the human to keep the Chrome window visible. `--activate-chrome false`
   also downgrades an explicit `--window foreground` down to `active`, since
   `foreground` is itself an OS-level raise and letting it through would defeat
   the `false` promise.

**Offline notCovered backfill (`deriveOverviewSupplementalBlocks` /
`deriveAudienceInterestsSupplemental` in `lib-similarweb.mjs`), built only
from rawText already captured in earlier live runs this session — no new
browser use.** Every sub-block resolves to one of `data` / `legit-empty` /
`locked` / `confirmed-absent` / `unresolved` (found the anchor, matched none
of the known shapes — never guessed into a shape). Confirmed real:
performance-page device split, brand-vs-non-brand share, top organic+paid
search terms (Top5, with `changePercentDirectionUnknown: true` throughout —
this text card carries no color/arrow evidence, so direction is never
assumed), a reusable 3-column domain/share/change block (confirmed by the
5-row "leading display advertisers" sample, reused for the 1-row "top
referral sites" and the geography Top5 mini-table), and the channel-summary
mini chart (chart axis-tick count is unpredictable, so the parser counts
known channel labels instead and takes the trailing N value tokens right
before the stop anchor — validated against the real 7-channel sample
including two `N/A` entries). `audience-interests`'s industry-distribution pie
and topic word-cloud are both implemented too (the word cloud has no
recoverable weight/rank, so it ships as an ordered word list with an explicit
`topicsOrderConfidence` caveat rather than pretending to be ranked).
Deliberately left `notCovered`: the trend chart (axis labels only, no
per-point series text — the coordinator's own stated exception), and
`audience-overlap`'s "exclusive/shared audience" breakdown, whose real
sample's token counts (7 site-name tokens, 3 percentages, 9 numbers) don't
divide evenly against each other — there is no DOM row/column boundary
recoverable from `innerText` order alone, so guessing a mapping was rejected
even though the raw numbers are visible in the text. `audience-demographics`'s
NOT_COVERED entry was also corrected: round 3 had already shipped
gender/age/segment extraction, so the entry no longer claims that's missing —
the one real remaining gap is that the segment table only ever shows
whichever gender×age combination is currently selected in the page's own
dropdown.

**2026-09-13 sixth review: real cross-check against a data-rich site
(canva.com — user's own suggestion, named directly in this task, not a
privately-chosen comparison domain that needs scrubbing; unlike the earlier
round-4 domain it is used directly in code/tests here, the same way
howolddoyoulook.com already is).** The round-5 offline blocks had never been
checked against a site large enough to actually populate the "only ever seen
empty" widgets or trigger real pagination. They now have been (9 page reads +
9 script runs; one extra page read and one extra script re-run beyond the
planned 8+8, both to chase down real findings below — disclosed, not hidden).

*Three round-5 "empty-only" blocks now have real, implemented shapes*: top
referral industries (`网站类别`/`流量份额`, 2 columns — **no** change column,
different from the other "3-column" widgets it was assumed to match);
outbound link destinations (3 columns, confirmed, but the label header is the
English `"Domain"`, not `"域"` — `deriveColumnTripleBlock`'s header params now
accept either a string or an array of acceptable header strings); and the
social-traffic breakdown (same "labels, then unpredictable axis-tick count,
then the trailing N values" shape as the channel-summary chart, except
platform names are open-vocabulary — two live reads of the same site produced
different platform lists — so `deriveOverviewChannelSummary`'s hardcoded
Chinese-channel-name list was replaced with a vocabulary-free
`deriveLeadingLabelsTrailingValues` helper: count the leading run of
non-percentage tokens instead of matching a fixed enum, which both new and old
callers now share).

**A block round 5 had completely missed, not just left empty:** "显示广告"
(Display Ads) has its own "热门媒体" (top publishers) sub-widget, distinct
from "导出广告 → 领先广告主" which round 5's `displayAdvertisers` field
actually covers — the two were conflated because both showed the identical
empty-state text on the round-5 sample site. Implemented as a new
`topMediaPublishers` field (3 columns, label header `"发布商"`). Its real data
surfaced two previously-unseen values worth a permanent fix: a literal `"新"`
("new" — no prior-period baseline, the same concept as English `"NEW"`
elsewhere, now recognized and reported as `changeIsNew: true` rather than
silently nulled indistinguishably from "-"), and a genuine negative change
value (`"-96%"`) that `parseNumber()` used to reject outright — its regex
never allowed a leading minus sign, so every negative change on every column
using it silently became `null`. Fixed by allowing an optional leading `-`;
audited every other `parseNumber` call site and found no real data anywhere
that would start legitimately parsing as a spurious negative.

**A real, silent false-positive in `deriveSiteKeywordRows`, caught by
diffing the script's own output against the same page read by hand:**
`site-keywords --traffic-tab paid` reported `missingColumns: ["KD", "排位变动"]`
on every run, even though both are absent from the paid tab's header row by
design (paid traffic has no organic keyword-difficulty or ranking-position
concept) — the same category of bug as the `AdSense` conditional-column fix
from an earlier round, just not caught until a data-rich site's paid tab was
actually read side-by-side with the script's JSON. `KD` moved out of the
required `wanted` map into a standalone optional lookup, mirroring `AdSense`;
`排位变动`'s missing-check now keys off whether `"排位"` itself appears in the
headers at all, not off "how many `变动` columns exist" (that broader-looking
fix would have silently defeated an existing, correct regression test for a
genuinely different failure mode: a header row that still has `"排位"` but
lost its paired `"变动"` column to an extraction glitch — that case must still
be reported, and now is, alongside the paid-tab case that must not be).

**A/B `'not-needed'` conclusions re-checked at real scale, all held.**
canva.com's `channels` (1,213 channel-detail rows, `truncated: true`),
`audience-interests` (36,921 cross-visit rows, `truncated: true`), and
`site-keywords` (157,515 organic + a separate paid corpus, 7,221 and 1,576
pages respectively) all settled to a clean `ok` (or `ok-unverified` for an
unrelated, already-known reason) via the existing pagination-footer /
Ant-Design-pager signals alone — no scrolling involved, matching the earlier
small-site conclusion. This is exactly the scale case the round-5 notes had
flagged as untested; it now is, and the conclusion was not narrowed to
"only holds for small sites" as a result. `page_hidden_during_capture` did
fire once (on the `channels` run) — logged as designed, did not block the
report from otherwise resolving on retry-free single attempts elsewhere.

认 SEO 卡片显示值挑页面级趋势序列，两套序列同时存在时也能挑对；卡片文字读不出来才退化成

`scopeEvidence.verdict !== 'confirmed'` 时该行数值挪进 `unconfirmedOrganicTraffic`/
`unconfirmedAuthorityScore`，`stopReason: 'scope-unconfirmed'`；每行另附精简的
`rpcEvidence: [{id, kind, timestamp, msFromNavStart}]`（2026-09-14 起，只留参与判定的

**域名概览页内的研究分组口径（仅 `semrush-overview.mjs`，2026-09-13 实测）**：页头选到「全世界」
不代表整页都是全球。「自然搜索研究」「广告研究」两个分组标题旁有独立的国家徽标，跟随账号级
「最近一次显式选择的国家」，全球页面上实测显示过别的国家——这两组的关键词表、竞争对手、
广告区块是那个国家的数据。脚本给每个区块输出自己的 `scope`、顶层汇总 `sectionScopes`；
请求全球而没传 `--organic-db` 时如实标出实际国家并记 `section-scope-unpinned`，不会 `complete`；
传 `--organic-db xx` 会先显式访问一次带 `db=xx` 的自然排名概览把账号状态钉住（改写记进
`accountStateWrites`，会影响同账号其它不带 db 的域名报表）。反链分节不分国家，过滤条应为「全世界」。

多个国家已经由全球结果筛出时，把 `{ "us": ["keyword"], "de": ["keyword"] }` 写进 JSON，使用
`--bulk-plan <file> --out <jsonl>`。脚本只启动一次 Semrush，再通过同一页面会话取完各国家库，避免
每个国家都回到工具主页。

2026-09-13 实测把上面这张表从"部分未验证"坐实成结论：`semrush-overview.mjs` 与
`semrush-batch.mjs` 打开的是同一张域名概览页，页头选择器确认有「全世界/Worldwide」；
`semrush-report.mjs` 的 `organic-overview`/`organic-positions`/`organic-pages`/
`keyword-magic`/`keyword-overview` 和 `semrush-keyword.mjs` 用的关键词概览页，选择器
都只是纯国家列表，搜索"world"/"全球"没有任何结果——**这几张确认没有全球选项**。
且不传 `--db` 时落地的国家不可预测：实测同一账号连续访问域名类报表先落 `us`、
关键词类报表落 `jp`，又在同一 session 里意外跳到 `kr`——账号状态是共享的，会被
并发的其它操作悄悄改写，不是"退回某个固定默认库"这么简单，所以这五张报表和
关键词单词模式都不再允许沉默地省略 `--db`（分别是硬报错退出、和主输出改走
`globalVolume` 两种处理，视是否有全球替代指标而定）。

关键词先按国家分文件，用 `--bulk --db <cc>` 一次筛最多 100 个；入选词再用单词模式读取
`globalVolume` 和 `byCountry`，随后对主要国家与项目目标市场分别跑对应 `--db`。这样美国库的零值
不会覆盖其他国家的真实需求。

单词模式会自动做一次 **geo-hop**（2026-08-30 起只报事实）：`byCountry` 第一大国家
不是当前 `db` 时，脚本在**同一个 session**里追加该国复查并写进 `geoHop.result`，
同时给出 `share`（第一大国家占 `globalVolume` 的百分比）与两边的量；只追一层，
不递归，也不回 dashboard。用 `--no-follow-top-country` 才会明确关闭。旧版
「份额 >=35% 或当前库量 <500 才追查」的阈值已从脚本移出——**显著与否由 AI 拿
share/volume 判**。这样 US 低量但印度等市场占绝对多数的词不会被误判为
“没有需求”，判断也不再被写死的阈值遮住。

跟别的面板对比时（尤其是 Similarweb），三件事都要对齐，缺一个都能吵出一个假的倍数差：
1. **地理范围**——Semrush 的数字是一个国家库，Similarweb 默认是全球，先把两边扳到同一个地理范围（乘目标国占比，或用 Semrush 关键词维度的 `globalVolume`）再比；
2. **报表页面**——Similarweb 自己的「网站表现」总量和「流量来源渠道」的渠道加总就能对不上（实测差 6–35%），报数字时必须写清楚是哪一页；
3. **口径定义**——Semrush 的自然流量是**模型**（追踪到的词 × 搜索量 × 位次假设点击率算出来的，它数据库之外的搜索词完全看不见），Similarweb 是**面板外推**（基于抽样设备的点击流数据放大），两者一个是模型输出、一个是观测外推，标清楚各自是什么，不要相减或相除。

下面「两个搜索量数字打架」「闭环的两端不能接在同一个模型上」两节就是踩过这三条坑之后的处理方法，遇到数字对不上先看这张表和那两节，而不是怀疑哪个工具坏了。

## 虚拟屏幕模式：可见但不抢焦点（2026-09-14）

懒加载报表要求标签页 `visible`；Chrome 窗口被别的应用完全遮挡时，macOS 会让活动标签页也读成
`hidden`，下方区块不再挂载。以前靠 `open -a "Google Chrome"` 抬前台，会打断正在用电脑的人。
现在默认给自动化窗口一块「虚拟屏幕」：任何在系统里注册为显示器、平时没人看的屏幕都可以。

**哪些脚本默认用**（不传 `--window` 即生效）：`semrush-overview.mjs`、`semrush-traffic.mjs`、
`similarweb-query.mjs`、`similarweb-batch.mjs`、`similarweb-keywords.mjs`——它们的数据依赖首次水合
或懒加载时标签页可见。`semrush-report.mjs`、`semrush-keyword.mjs`、`tools-share-open.mjs` 原样转发
`--window`，可显式 `--window virtual-display` 开启，默认不变（表格/关键词接口数据长期在后台模式下正常取数，
改默认只会多一次屏幕检测和移窗）。`semrush-batch.mjs`（只读顶部卡片 + 接口证人）、
`tools-share-evidence.mjs`、`tools-share-node.mjs`（启动探测）保持固定窗口模式。
显式传 opencli 四档之一（foreground/active/background/isolated）时一律原样透传，不走虚拟屏幕。

**流程**（`scripts/lib-automation-window.mjs`，由 `launchTool({ window: 'virtual-display' })` 在持锁之后调用）：

1. JXA 读 NSScreen，按名称匹配**非主屏**，换算成全局左上原点坐标（与 Chrome `bounds`、页面 `screenX` 同一坐标系）；
2. `opencli browser sessions` 找本 session 的 `windowId`；没有就用 `--window isolated` 打开一个公共占位页，
   让扩展建出不聚焦的独立窗口（`open` 只接受 http(s)）。本 session 的标签页若落在用户窗口里
   （之前用 active/background 跑过），只释放本 session 自己的租约再重开，不碰那个窗口；
3. 窗口中心不在虚拟屏上才 AppleScript `set bounds`；窗口里只要有一个 opencli 不认识的标签页，就拒绝移动并回退；
4. `tab select` 让本 session 标签成为窗口活动标签（同一窗口只有活动标签 visible），读回 `visibilityState`
   后调用方才导航（报表导航仍走 `location.href`）；
5. 之后每次读到 hidden：重新检测屏幕 → 移回 → `tab select`，整次运行有次数上限；屏幕没了就降级为回退路径。

**为什么不抢焦点**：`--window isolated` 建窗时 `focused:false`；AppleScript `set bounds` 与扩展侧
`tabs.update({active:true})` 都不激活应用（实测前台应用前后不变）；模块里没有 `activate`、`open -a`、
调整窗口层级的指令（`tests/automation-window.test.mjs` 有源码守卫）；对 Chrome 的查询先判 `running()`，
不会因为 `tell` 把它拉起；System Events 只用于只读查询前台应用名。

**配置**：`--automation-display <名称子串|/正则/|off>`，或环境变量 `BACKLINK_AUTOMATION_DISPLAY`
（可写进 Skill 根目录的 `.env`，启动器会加载）；`off` 关闭虚拟屏幕策略。默认匹配名字含「虚拟」或
`Virtual` 的非主屏。占位页可用 `BACKLINK_AUTOMATION_PLACEHOLDER_URL` 覆盖（必须 http(s)、无登录、无配额）。

**回退**：检测不到虚拟屏幕、配置关闭、自动化窗口里混入外来标签页、找不到会话窗口时，`automationWindow.mode`
为 `"fallback"` 并写 `fallbackReason`，脚本沿用接入前的行为——域名概览：`active` + 限次 `open -a`，
stderr 提示「未检测到虚拟屏幕，回退为抢焦点（最多 N 次）」；Similarweb 三个脚本：`active`（`--activate-chrome true`
时长表报表为 `foreground`）；.Trends 流量：`foreground`。

**输出**：`automationWindow: {mode, fallbackReason?, display: {name, bounds}, windowId, moves, tabSelects, recoveries,
visibility: {reads, visible, hidden, visibleRatio}, frontmostAppSamples: [{at, label, app}], frontmost: {samples, chromeFrontmost}}`；
`similarweb-batch.mjs` 写在 `--out` 旁边的 `<out>.automation-window.json`，每行另带 `visibilityState`。

**运行期间不要把非自动化标签页拖进自动化窗口，也不要在那个窗口里手动开新标签页。** 扩展会把含外来标签页的窗口
判为「借用窗口」，下一次 isolated 会在主屏另开一个新窗口；本模块也会因为认不出那个标签页而拒绝移动它、回退为抢焦点。
同理，一个自动化窗口同时只有一个标签页可见——需要可见性的报表串行跑（配额锁本来就串行）。
自动化窗口里也不要打开浏览器扩展类助手的会话。

## Non-interruptive OpenCLI policy

The dashboard's `打开` controls may create or activate a browser window. Default
to a named OpenCLI browser session with `--window background` (the
visibility-dependent report scripts instead default to the virtual-display
strategy above, which is equally non-interruptive). Inspect the card
and launcher first. If a stable target URL or already-open tool tab is available,
open or bind that target directly instead of clicking the launcher.

Do not automate while the user is actively using the same Chrome window if the
site cannot remain backgrounded. Stop and report the limitation rather than
stealing foreground focus.

## Search Console role

Google Search Console is a verification and monitoring surface, not the primary
recursive discovery source. Keep these facts separate:

- performance clicks and queries;
- indexed/not-indexed page counts;
- link existence in a report;
- exact public anchor and `rel` attributes on the live referring page.

Authenticated access does not authorize account switching, property changes,
user management, removals, or other mutations.

## columbus.tools —— AI 工具站的外链榜（免费层可用）

`https://columbus.tools/ai-backlink-rank` 把「被 AI 工具站引用最多的外链来源域名」
按**出现频次**排好了，每行带 DR、月访问量、Dofollow/Nofollow、自然搜索占比。
这正是我们想要的「出现在多少个独立同行身上」信号，只不过它的样本池是 3,640 个 AI 站。

- **免费能拿到的**：默认排序前 100 名，无需登录。
- **要钱的**：翻页（共 126 页 / 6,254 个域名）、按 DR/流量/搜索占比筛选，
  以及 MCP 的 `list_backlink_domains` 等 6 个工具（只有 `list_model_releases` 免费）。
- **采集注意**：虚拟滚动 + Tab 分隔字段，做法见
  [harvest.md](harvest.md) 的「columbus.tools 免费层只给前 100 名」。

**2026-08-19 对账结果：前 100 名里我们已收录 22 个，78 个是新的。**
新增里判为可用 45 个、判为垃圾 33 个（短链农场与镜像站：`*-links-bhs.xyz` 系列、
`buzzshrink.website`、`anchorurl.cloud`、`urls-shortener.eu`、`shortenurls.eu`、
`bye.fyi`、`quero.party` 等，共同特征是 0 流量 + 0 自然搜索占比 + 短链形态）。
原始数据落在项目侧的 `<项目>/.backlink/columbus-top100.json`——**采集产物属于项目，不进本 Skill**。

> 这份榜是**平台层面的断言**，不是对某一条链的观测。
> 它的 Dofollow 列和第三方名单的 Dofollow 列性质一样——
> 按 [instant-publish.md](instant-publish.md) 的「Reading a third-party list」对待：
> 可以拿来排候选，不可以直接写进 ledger 当 `rel_verified`。

### 瞬时错误页：刷新即恢复，不是节点挂了（2026-08-21，站主口述 + 实测）

面板和工具页偶尔整页变成：

> **出错了**
> 别担心，我们已经发现了问题并正在处理。
> 请稍后重试。

**这是瞬时的，重载页面即恢复，多刷几次一定回来。**
不要因此换节点、改选择器、怀疑登录态——那些都不是原因。

**与「节点会挂」是两件事，症状可以区分：**

| | 瞬时错误页 | 节点挂了 |
|---|---|---|
| 页面长什么样 | **有明确错误文案**（上面那三行） | **白页 / 长时间不渲染**，`bodyText` 为空但标题是对的 |
| 怎么办 | **重载当前页**，重试几次 | **换 `--node`**，重载没用 |

`semrush-report.mjs` 已经按这条实现：命中错误文案就 `location.reload()` 重试，
默认 3 次（`--retries`），失败时的报错文案会把两种成因分开列。

### 标签出现 ≠ 数值出现（2026-08-23 实测，静默错数）

指标区分两拍渲染：先挂标签和占位值（`Authority Score` 下面一个 `0`、
`总访问量` 下面一个空态句），几秒后真值才水合进来。**只认标签的就绪判据会在
这个缝里通过，读到的是占位值，而且不报错。** 8 个域名跑 `semrush-overview.mjs`，
6 个被记成 `authorityScore: 0`（真值 22/29/38/15/22/26）；同一天
`similarweb-batch.mjs` 把月访问 351,111 的 mmradar.gg 记成 `below-floor`。

判据与实现见 [traffic-screen.md](traffic-screen.md#a-rendered-label-is-not-a-rendered-number)：
`lib-tools-share.mjs` 的 `captureStable()`，**同一组数值连读两次一致才收下，
读不稳记 error**。`semrush-batch.mjs` / `similarweb-batch.mjs` 已按此实现。

**`semrush-overview.mjs`（2026-09-13 重写）不再借 `lib-tools-share.mjs` 的
`captureStable()`，改用自己 `lib-semrush-overview.mjs` 里更细的判据**：每个区块
的 DOM 指纹要连续两次读一致，且同一轮页面网络也要静默（CDP 发出数=资源计时完成
数、drain 无在途、页内钩子在途为 0）才算终态；这条判据顺带修掉了本节的事故——
**AS 恰好为 0 且没有等级徽标，现在被显式判成占位值，而不是收下**。

**五个脚本走 `captureStable()` 这条路**：`semrush-batch.mjs`、
`similarweb-batch.mjs`、`similarweb-query.mjs`，以及 `semrush-report.mjs` 的全部六张报告
（它拿 `parse()` 的完整输出当指纹——**指纹就是要写出去的那个对象**，
不存在「盯着 A、写出去 B」的漏洞）。`spec.ready` 从此只是入场券，不是结论。

**「连读两次一致」是下限，不是上限**（2026-08-24 实跑打脸补充）：占位值本身是稳定的，
两次快读之间它根本不变。`semrush-batch` 在旧默认（settle 5s / 间隔 2s / 超时 40s）下
仍然把 mmradar.gg 的 AS 读成 0，并把另外三个正常站判成 below-floor。补了三条才真正拦住：
**一个字段都没解析出来永不收下**（超时记 error）、**自相矛盾的指纹要连读六次**
（自然流量 > 0 却 AS = 0 说明 AS 还没水合）、**settle/间隔/超时调大到 8s/3s/75s**。
改后同样四个域名 4/4 正确，单域名从 16 秒涨到 25 秒。

**注意这一整段只管一个轴：占位值 vs 真值。** 它默认「表在那儿，只是数还没进来」，
所以补救永远是「再读一次」。**读到空还有另一个轴，判据和补救都不一样**：
一是**没水合**（读的那一刻 `document.visibilityState === 'hidden'`，换一次 `visible` 读就有了），
二是**这条路由本来就没有表**（`visible` 下连读三次仍是 0 个表格元素，只有图表——
再读多少次都一样，数据存在，但取数形态是图不是表）。
所以读到空之后第一个动作是**在页面里取 `visibilityState`**，不是再读一次；
`hidden` 下的读一律记 `inconclusive-hidden`，不许记 `below-floor`、不许记「空」。
实测、路由清单和可下判定的协议只有一份权威，在本 Skill SKILL.md 里
id 为 `hidden-tabs-do-not-hydrate` 的那条 law，要改就改在那儿。

**Similarweb 的取值曾经会「扫过头」**：页面上没有数据时写的是 `-`，而旧模式
`#?\s*[\d,]+` 既不限整行也没有标签边界，于是一路扫到「Last 28 days (As of Aug 21)」，
把 **28** 抓成了国家排名和行业排名（na.whatismymmr.com，真实是三个 `-`）。
三条守则照抄 `semrush-report.mjs` 的 `pick()`：**碰到下一个标签就停、整行匹配、
`-`/`N/A` 直接返回 null**。解析器同时从两份拷贝合并成一份 `lib-similarweb.mjs`——
之前两份各抄一遍，同一个 bug 要修两次，实际只修了一次。

**令牌会经由第三方输出漏出去**：`opencli` 命令失败时把活动会话连同完整 URL 打进 stderr，
`run()` 原样抛成 Error.message，脚本再塞进 `output.error.message`——
`__gmitm=ayWzA3*...` 就这样进了 stdout、`--out` 文件和日志（2026-08-24 实测到一次）。
现在所有外发的错误文本一律过 `redactSecrets()`。**不要指望每个调用点自己记�

      # BacklinkDirs free reciprocal-listing workflow

Use this reference only for `backlinkdirs.com`. Its product gate and reciprocal-link
sequence are stricter than an ordinary directory form.

## 1. Qualification gate

The authenticated Details form says it accepts only navigation sites, blogs,
directories, or list-type sites that allow adding external links. It requires a real
**Submit Link**.

Proceed only when all of these are true:

1. The submitted site permanently operates a useful resource list, directory, or
   comparable editorial collection.
2. A real public intake already exists and lets third parties propose relevant links.
   Email intake with documented editorial criteria is acceptable; it does not need a
   database.
3. The owner explicitly accepts a visible reciprocal BacklinkDirs link on the
   submitted homepage or Footer for as long as the free listing remains live.
4. The resource feature is useful without BacklinkDirs. It is not a temporary review
   route, cloaked page, hidden anchor, or empty list created only to pass approval.

If any item fails, record:

`rejected — category/reciprocal-link mismatch`

Do not invent a Submit Link or recommend a hidden/temporary route.

## 2. Verify the permanent feature before submission

Require production evidence for:

- the resource/list page;
- the Submit Link page and actual intake action;
- desktop and mobile navigation to both routes;
- unique metadata/canonical URLs and sitemap inclusion;
- safe external-link behavior;
- a visible homepage/Footer location reserved for the later reciprocal item URL.

For a new feature, test and deploy it before creating a BacklinkDirs record. A local
route or preview deployment is not sufficient.

## 3. Prepare truthful Details fields

Check the live form because labels and limits can change. The 2026-07-30 form required:

- HTTPS homepage URL;
- name of at most 32 characters;
- one or more categories and tags;
- DR and monthly visitors (MV);
- Submit Link;
- short description and Markdown introduction;
- square PNG/JPEG icon, max 1 MB;
- 16:9 PNG/JPEG listing image, max 1 MB.

Use a reputable current source for DR and MV. Record the source and observation date.
Do not infer DR from a site's age or replace `0` with `1`. Do not copy unsupported AI
Autofill claims: inspect every populated field and restore the truthful categories,
tags, description, and introduction before submission.

Suggested states:

| State | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `qualified` | Permanent feature and reciprocal authorization verified. |
| `auth ready` | Authenticated dashboard/form visible. |
| `details blocked` | No draft exists because validation or required truth blocks Details. |
| `draft` | Dashboard shows one identifiable record and exact item URL. |
| `reciprocal live` | Exact item URL is visibly present on the production homepage/Footer. |
| `review requested` | Free-review action was triggered once and acknowledged. |
| `published` | Public item page is live and links to the submitted site. |
| `indexed` | A search-engine surface independently shows the public item page. |

Never collapse these states into “submitted.”

## 4. DR=0 validation failure and manual fallback

Observed 2026-07-30 behavior:

- an Ahrefs-powered checker returned DR `0`;
- BacklinkDirs AI Autofill returned about `3.36K` MV;
- the Details form cleared DR `0` and showed
  `Expected number, received string`;
- normal fill and native spinner-key interaction did not make the truthful zero pass;
- therefore no BacklinkDirs draft was created.

When this exact failure occurs:

1. Stop before submission; do not enter `1`, `0.1`, or another invented value.
2. Capture the validation text and the current metric sources.
3. Email `support@backlinkdirs.com` with the complete truthful field set, production
   resource URL, Submit Link, metric evidence, and required images.
4. Ask support to fix validation or create the free-plan draft manually.
5. Record `details blocked — DR=0 validation; manual request sent`.
6. An outbound email is not a draft, review request, approval, or backlink.
7. Check the dashboard and email thread later. Do not create duplicates while awaiting
   support.

## 5. Draft and exact reciprocal URL

After Details succeeds or support creates the record:

1. Re-open the dashboard and confirm exactly one matching draft.
2. Record its plan and status without upgrading the claim. A typical pre-publication
   state is `plan=free`, `status=submitting`.
3. Obtain the item-specific URL shown by BacklinkDirs:
   `https://backlinkdirs.com/item/<listing-slug>`.
4. Add that exact URL as a normal visible anchor on the submitted homepage/Footer,
   for example `Listed on BacklinkDirs`.
5. Do not link merely to `https://backlinkdirs.com/`, put the anchor only on a deep
   resource page, hide it with CSS, or add `nofollow` when the free checker expects the
   reciprocal link.
6. Test/build, deploy, and verify the exact href in live homepage HTML and a browser.

The item URL cannot be guessed before the record exists.

## 6. Request free review once

Only after the exact reciprocal URL is live:

1. Re-open the same draft.
2. Trigger the free review/publish action once.
3. Observe the toast, redirect, dashboard status, and public item URL.
4. If the handler errors or the state remains ambiguous, stop. Record
   `review submission unconfirmed` and do not repeat-click.
5. Do not buy Pro, sponsor placement, or a subscription without explicit user approval.

Count a backlink only when the public item page is reachable and its outbound link is
verified. Keep indexing and follow/nofollow verification as separate later checks.

## 7. Evidence ledger

Record these fields for handoff and future monitoring:

```yaml
target: backlinkdirs.com
site: https://example.com/
resource_url: https://example.com/resources/
submit_link: https://example.com/submit-link/
qualification: qualified | rejected
auth: ready | blocked
details: not-started | blocked | draft
details_blocker: null
manual_request:
  sent: false
  recipient: support@backlinkdirs.com
  message_id: null
item_url: null
reciprocal:
  live: false
  verified_at: null
review:
  attempted: false
  state: not-requested
public_listing:
  live: false
  verified_at: null
indexed: unverified
link_attribute: unverified
```

Update only the state proved by the latest authoritative surface.

      # Running a submission campaign at batch size

This Skill was built around **one target at a time**: inspect, fill, review,
submit, verify. That is the right unit for a comment on an article. It is the
wrong unit for 300 directory rows, and the difference is not "do the same thing
faster" — a batch has failure modes a single submission does not have: the same
site submitted twice, the whole run stalled behind the first CAPTCHA, an
interrupted run that cannot tell completed work from unstarted work, and a final
report that counts forms instead of links.

Most of this file is absorbed from **[flaqai/backlink_skills]** (MIT), whose two
`submit-product-directories-*` Skills are a campaign-operations layer rather than
a channel list. Credited in full in [SKILL.md](../SKILL.md#credits). Where their
rule and ours already agreed, ours is kept and theirs is noted as confirmation
from an independent operator.

## The queue is built before the browser opens

Deduplication after the browser is open is deduplication that already cost a
submission. Build the whole queue first:

1. **Normalise** the route. Strip tracking parameters from the stored record;
   keep required route parameters (`?c=1&LINK_TYPE=1` is part of the address, not
   noise) in the evidence copy.
2. **Derive an idempotency key** from `platform domain + canonical product ID +
   account alias + route`. Not the URL — the same directory reached through two
   different submit paths is one submission, and the same domain submitted under
   two different products is two.
3. **Refuse to execute a key** that is already `submitted`, awaiting approval,
   `public`, or **outcome-unknown**. Unknown is the important one: re-running an
   ambiguous case is how a directory gets a duplicate listing and a ban.
4. **Assign stable queue IDs and shards.** Shard size and maximum concurrent tabs
   are operational settings — how much a browser and an operator can hold. They
   are **not** SEO safety thresholds, and must never be described as "a safe
   number of links per day". There is no such number to know.
5. **Classify every row up front** into `direct form`, `account required`,
   `manual verification`, `email verification`, `paid/reciprocal`, `unavailable`,
   `ineligible`, `unknown`. The classification decides the pipeline, and the
   classes have wildly different costs per row.

## Verification-first: never let the first CAPTCHA stall the run

The naive order — open a site, fill it, hit a CAPTCHA, stop — serialises the
entire campaign behind human availability. Invert it:

1. Run a **read-only preflight over the whole shard** before typing a single
   product field.
2. Surface the earliest CAPTCHA, Turnstile, image code, email check, or login
   wall on each row.
3. Attempt only the site's own ordinary verification. Never bypass, outsource, or
   weaken a safeguard — that rule is in
   [safety-policy.md](safety-policy.md) and it does not relax at scale.
4. Move every blocked row into **one manual queue** and keep processing the rest.
   The user clears that queue in a single pass instead of being interrupted N
   times.
5. When the queue comes back, **recheck token validity and process the
   short-lived ones first.** Email confirmation links and session tokens expire
   while the batch is running; the row that was cleared first is the one most
   likely to have gone stale.

Note the interaction with a trap already in [field-notes.md](field-notes.md):
landing-page CAPTCHA scans give false negatives, so the preflight is a
prioritiser, not a guarantee. A row classified `direct form` can still produce a
challenge at submit time; it goes into the same manual queue when it does.

## Authorization is per action, not per campaign

A campaign-level "go ahead" does not authorise everything inside the campaign.
Keep these separately authorised, each one named explicitly:

| Action | Why it is its own gate |
| --- | --- |
| Create an account | Creates a durable identity the owner now has to manage |
| Accept terms | A legal commitment the agent cannot evaluate |
| Upload assets | Publishes owner-controlled material |
| Final submit | The irreversible one |
| Any payment | Money, and paid links change the required `rel` |
| Reciprocal link / site change | Modifies the owner's own production site |
| DNS or verification-record change | Infrastructure, and outlives the campaign |

Batch-scoped authorization is usable only when it names **the allowed actions,
the source-list scope, the approver, the approval time, and an expiry**. An
approval without an expiry is not a batch approval; it is a standing grant nobody
decided to give.

## Distinct states so an interrupted run can resume

Our ledger chain is `candidate → qualified → drafted → filled → submitted →
public → indexed@<engine> → rel_verified`. A batch needs the off-chain states
too, and they must be distinguishable from each other:

- `draft-saved` — the site kept a draft; resuming means editing, not re-filling.
- `awaiting-verification` — in the manual queue, blocked on a human.
- `awaiting-approval` — submitted, the site moderates before publishing.
- `outcome-unknown` — **the dangerous one.** The final action was taken and the
  result was not observed. It is not a failure and must never be retried
  automatically.
- `transient-failure` — safe to retry, because nothing was submitted.
- `excluded` / `ineligible` — terminal, with the reason recorded.

**Never retry an ambiguous final action.** Check the account backend, the
mailbox, and the public page first — in that order, because the public page is
the slowest to update and the backend is the most authoritative about what the
site believes it received.

Write the result **before** advancing the queue cursor. A cursor ahead of the
record is indistinguishable from work that was never done.

## What counts as evidence of a submission

Insufficient, every one of them: a click, a completed registration, a saved
draft, a form that cleared itself, a generic thank-you URL. Each of those is
evidence that *you* acted, and the ledger records what the *site* did.

This is the same rule as the Skill's `submitted` bar, stated from the other
direction, and it is worth having both: at batch size the tempting shortcut is to
treat "the form went away" as success across 300 rows at once.

## Product facts come from a source, never from the model

Maintain an approved product profile before the campaign: exact brand spelling,
canonical URL, category, contact alias, approved description variants **by length
band** (most directories want 50 / 150 / 500 characters and will truncate
silently), and approved assets.

- Reuse the approved variants; never regenerate prose per site.
- Never invent founder, pricing, address, launch date, user count, ownership,
  legal, or contact facts. Not even plausible ones — a directory listing is a
  public record that outlives the campaign.
- Leave **optional** unknowns blank. Mark **required** unknowns
  `blocked — missing verified data` and stop that row. A blocked row is a
  question for the owner, not a gap to fill.

## Anchor text policy

Use the brand, the product name, or the naked canonical URL. Nothing else.

- Never request dofollow treatment. Asking marks the placement as manipulated
  even when the link would have been followed anyway.
- Never use repeated commercial exact-match anchors across a campaign. One
  keyword anchor is a link; two hundred is a pattern.
- A paid or incentivised placement **requires** `sponsored` or `nofollow`. If it
  publishes as a plain follow link, record the placement as **noncompliant** —
  it is not an acceptable listing just because it appeared.
- Record the actual public anchor, `href`, `rel`, and whether the relationship
  was commercial or reciprocal, after publication. Recording the anchor you
  *submitted* is recording your intent, not the outcome.

## Fanning the screen out across parallel agents

Screening is the one stage that parallelises cleanly — each row is independent
and network-bound. Three failure modes showed up the first time this was run
five-wide, and all three are cheap to prevent in the brief:

**Scratch filenames collide.** Parallel agents share one scratch directory, so
two of them writing `chunk1.json` silently overwrite each other's work. It was
caught only by diffing the finished domain set against the input. **Give every
agent a distinct output path and require every temp file to carry its slice
number.** This is the same failure as two browser tasks picking one session name
(see [SKILL.md](../SKILL.md)) — shared namespace, no error, wrong data.

**An agent will background the batch and then wait forever.** Nothing wakes it,
the turn ends on idle, and the task finishes having written nothing. Two
sentences in the brief prevent it: *run the work synchronously in foreground
calls, chunked; a call may run for minutes, so raise its timeout rather than
backgrounding it* and *rewrite the output file after every chunk so a partial
result survives an unexpected stop.* The second one paid for itself immediately —
every agent's file was readable and growing throughout the run.

**Verify the returned count against the input.** An agent's own summary is not
evidence that every row was processed. Diff the domain sets.

What to hand an agent is the judgement, not the fetching: following a route to
the real submission page, deciding what a page *is*, reading what a price
actually buys. The mechanical sweep belongs in a script — it is faster, it is
consistent across rows, and its heuristics can be fixed once instead of
re-invented per agent.

## Records: aliases in the shareable file, secrets nowhere

Split the campaign record in two:

- **Shareable record** — queue state, domains, routes, outcomes, public URLs,
  observed anchors and `rel`. Uses **aliases** (`account: owner-primary`) and
  controlled-evidence IDs.
- **Controlled evidence** — screenshots and raw captures, stored separately.

Never in either: passwords, OTPs, recovery codes, cookies, OAuth parameters,
magic links, raw session IDs, raw email addresses, phone numbers, or tokenised
URLs. A magic link in a campaign log is a live credential in a file people paste
into chat.

## Reporting: forms and links are different numbers

Report published listings **separately** from submitted forms, always, and lead
with the smaller one. Then:

- totals by queue state, verification state, shard, and outcome;
- queue completion rate, duplicate avoidance, recovery rate after interruption,
  and the size of the unresolved manual queue;
- verified submissions per operator hour, if throughput is the question.

**Never present submission volume as evidence of SEO value.** "We submitted to
300 directories" is a statement about labour. The only sentence that describes
the outcome names observed anchors on live pages.

### Traffic numbers need six fields or they are not numbers

A figure like `4.84M` with no provenance is unusable within months and
actively misleading after that. Store, or do not store at all:

`source · metric · month · geography · device · date verified`

The list that prompted this rule carried undated per-site traffic values; when
its own maintainers rechecked three of them against the same public tool, all
three had drifted 20–30% and one by more. They then deleted every unsourced
figure, which was the right call. Do the same rather than carrying a number that
looks like evidence.

      # Browser runtime — where the laws live now

**The measurements and the full laws moved to the `opencli` Skill.** That is now the
single source of truth for OpenCLI mechanics; this file keeps only the part that is
specific to backlink work, plus pointers.

```bash
npx skills add yan-labs/yan-skills --skill opencli -g -y   # if not installed
```

| You need | Read |
|---|---|
| The four session laws + the measurements behind them (isolation counts, theft counts across concurrent agents, background-mode probes) | `opencli` Skill → `references/session-laws.md` |
| Diagnosing "something stole my tab", in the order the causes actually occur | `opencli` Skill → `references/session-laws.md` |
| The other two drivers and what they cost (agent-browser's two walls, Claude in Chrome's leak counts) | `opencli` Skill → `references/drivers.md` |
| Page driving: target contract, `match_level`, error codes, compounds, cost table | `opencli` Skill → `references/browser-driving.md` |
| `batch`, `sessions`, `cleanup` and which of them need our rebuilt extension | `opencli` Skill → `references/our-fork.md` |
| Bridge is red, `doctor` fails, contradictory error hints | `opencli` Skill → `references/troubleshooting.md` |

## The one-paragraph version, so you do not have to leave

`$backlink → scripts and policy → OpenCLI → the owner's authorized Chrome → website`.
A session name owns exactly one tab, so **N pages need N session names**; never hardcode a
session name (`opencli browser --help` opens with `work`, and everyone who copies it
collides); never use `tab new` / `tab select` / `open --tab` to hold several pages under one
name — all three fail **silently**; open every session you need up front before starting the
work loop. **Background is the default and you should not override it**: it opens in the
window the person is already using, never raises a window, and never switches the tab they
are looking at. It is **not** headless — every headless tell reads negative, so there is no
reason to reach for foreground. `--window foreground` *does* steal the active tab; use it
only when the person has to finish something by hand (a CAPTCHA). `--window isolated` keeps
automation in its own window. Requires the OpenCLI extension at 1.0.32 or newer — on older
builds the default is foreground and every command needs `--window background` spelled out.

If a read returns a page you did not navigate to, **suspect a session-name collision first**,
the site or the CLI last.

## Backlink-specific residue

- **JS callers use `scripts/opencli-core.mjs`** (in this Skill, not the `opencli` one).
  `defaultSession(base)` is the only correct way to build a session name — it resolves
  `OPENCLI_SESSION_SUFFIX` → `CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID` → `CLAUDE_CODE_HOST_SESSION_ID` → pid.
  Never key off the HOST id directly: it is shared by every conversation inside one desktop
  app host, so it hands parallel tasks the same tab.

  That file is a vendored copy of `opencli/scripts/opencli-core.mjs`. It stays vendored on
  purpose — the 17 scripts here must run when the `opencli` Skill is not installed. Change
  one, change the other.

- **Subagents inherit the parent environment**, so several agents spawned inside one
  conversation resolve to the same default session. When fanning link work out across
  parallel agents, give each an explicit `--session` or a distinct `OPENCLI_SESSION_SUFFIX`.

- **This Skill has caused the collision itself**: `scripts/tools-share-open.mjs` once defaulted
  to the literal session `backlink-panel`, two concurrent tasks each ran it, and each read
  back pages the other had opened. Treat any literal default session name in this directory
  as a bug.

- Submission lanes lean on Law 2 (one session, one page) — see
  [submission-lanes.md](submission-lanes.md). Bulk table harvesting has its own throttling and
  silent-row-drop traps in [harvest.md](harvest.md); the `opencli` Skill covers the generic
  extraction ladder and the landing SOP, this Skill covers the campaign side.

      # 目录投放实跑手册（从清单到台账）

`submission-lanes.md` 讲**怎么分道**，`batch-campaign.md` 讲**批量怎么排队**。
本文补的是**一次真实跑完之后才知道的东西**——2026-08-22 一轮 11 个目标的实跑复盘，
5 submitted / 1 already-public / 5 skipped。

写它的理由：上一次开跑之前，我们以为难点是「填表」。**实际难点全在填表之前和之后。**

---

## 零、选目标前先读台账

每次选目标前必须读项目 `.backlink/ledger.json`。已 submitted 及之后状态
（`public`、`indexed`、`rel_verified`）的域名不再提交；rejected 的域名默认
也跳过，只有 notes 里写明的复活条件确认已满足，才用 `--include-rejected`
重新打开。`scripts/targets-select.mjs` 默认就从当前工作目录下的
`.backlink/ledger.json` 读这份排除名单，不需要额外传参——在项目目录里跑
它就够了。

同样重要的是收尾:**每次提交结束必须 `ledger.mjs upsert` + `transition` 把
结果写回台账**，否则下次选目标就会重复选中同一个域名、重复提交。

## 一、动手前必须拿到的两样东西

**1. 站主的显式授权，而且要问到具体粒度。**
目录收录是**公开且不可撤销**的记录，挂着品牌名与官方邮箱。
「你去做外链吧」不等于授权提交——**授权提交，不等于授权注册账号或付费**。
把这三件事分开确认，因为它们的后果完全不同。

**2. 一份 `product-profile.json`。** 提交文案（描述、分类、锚文本、目标页）
必须**事先定稿**，不能让驱动器现编。同一个产品在 20 个目录上写出 20 种描述，
是最容易被忽略的品牌伤害。

---

## 二、三条硬禁令：不管谁授权都不做

| 禁令 | 为什么 | 遇到怎么办 |
|---|---|---|
| **不注册账号** | 账号是身份决定，只能由站主本人做；驱动器还会被迫处理密码 | 该行转 skip，记 `account-required` |
| **不解验证码** | 明确的反自动化意图，绕过它就是滥用 | 转 Lane B 或 skip，记 `captcha-blocked` |
| **不选付费档、不填支付信息** | 花钱只能站主决定 | 选免费档；只有付费档则 skip |

第四条同等重要，但形态不同：

**不为了填满表单而编造事实。**
本轮 `spotSaaS` 的表单有一个必填的「Your Role」，我们没有任何可授权的取值——
**这一条直接 skip 掉了**，不是随便填一个。

判据很简单：**留空是诚实，编造不是。**
遇到必填的价格、融资轮次、员工人数、公司角色、实体地址，而产品并不具备时，
放弃这个目标，别放弃事实。

---

## 三、免费档是藏起来的，不是不存在

**本轮 5 个成功提交里，4 个在流程中途弹出付费升级**：

| 站点 | 被拒绝的付费档 |
|---|---|
| saashub.com | $75 Priority+ |
| 247webdirectory.com | $19.99 – $99.99 多档 |
| dizila.com | $39.99 Featured |
| launchingnext.com | $99 快审 |

**这是常态，不是例外。**这类站的默认路径会把你引向付费档，免费档往往在
「Regular Listing」「Free ($0)」「Standard」这类不显眼的位置，有时要滚到最下面。

所以：

- **看到价格不等于这个站要钱**，先找免费档再判 skip；
- 免费档通常附带「不保证审核」「排队更久」的说明，**这是可以接受的**——
  我们买的是链接不是速度；
- 台账 evidence 里**写清选了哪一档**（例：`Free ($0, lifetime, no review guarantee)`），
  否则三个月后没人能判断这条要不要续费。

---

## 四、有些链接不需要提交就已经存在

`sitelike.org` 本轮**根本没提交**——打开发现它早已自动抓取并列出了我们，
实测锚点 `rel="external nofollow noopener"`，链接真实存在。

**所以每个目标的第一步是「先看看我们在不在上面」，不是「打开提交表单」。**
重复提交一个已收录的站，轻则无效，重则触发它的去重/惩罚逻辑。

这类自动抓取型目录在清单里看起来和提交型没区别，只能逐个打开才知道。

---

## 五、记账：`submitted` 不是 `public`

这是本 Skill 最容易被违反的一条，批量跑的时候尤其容易。

| 状态 | 判据 |
|---|---|
| `submitted` | 表单被接受。**「谢谢，我们会审核」就到此为止** |
| `public` | **你亲眼看到一个活页面上挂着我们的链接** |
| `rel_verified` | 你抓了那个页面，读到了 `<a>` 的真实 `rel` |

**提交了 N 个表单，不是拿到了 N 条外链。**
本轮真实战果是：**1 条已存在的 nofollow 外链**，加 **6 条待审**。
把它汇报成「拿下 6 条外链」是虚报。

每一条都要落台账：

```bash
node scripts/ledger.mjs upsert --url <route> --file <project>/.backlink/ledger.json
node scripts/ledger.mjs transition --file ... --id <id> --state submitted --evidence "<你观察到了什么>"
```

`submitted` / `public` / `indexed` / `rel_verified` **强制要求 evidence**，
而 evidence 要写**观察到的**，不是期望的。

**台账会过期。** 本轮 Product Hunt 被驱动器记成 `rejected`（它跑的时候确实没做），
后来由主线程完成排期——**回来必须改那条记录**。
一条不再为真的台账记录，比没有记录更糟。

---

## 六、实测与记录不符：本轮改回数据，不留给下一轮

台账记的是这个项目做过什么；`data/submission-targets.json` 和
`data/free-channels.json` 记的是那个渠道**是什么样**，这一层同样会过期。
本轮如果观察到实测结果和记录对不上，改数据是收尾的一部分，不是"下次有空再说"：

| 实测观察 | 该改哪个字段 |
|---|---|
| 记录说 open-form / account:none，实测要登录 | `account`（free-channels）或 `gates`（submission-targets，去掉 `open-form`、加 `account`） |
| 记录说 `captcha: none`，实测出现验证码 | `captcha`（改成 `passive` / `interactive`，视挑战是否需要人工） |
| 记录说免费，实测有价值的路径只在付费档后面 | `payment`（改成 `optional` / `required`），必要时把整条移进 `paid-platforms.json` |
| 提交入口换了地址 | `route`（submission-targets）或 `homepage`（free-channels） |
| 站点已经打不开、被转卖、内容换了 | `status` 改 `dead`，`id` 保留不回收 |

改完在 `notes` 追加一句：日期 + 观察到了什么（例如「2026-09-07 实测：登录墙已出现，此前记录的
open-form 过期」），然后跑一遍 `scripts/validate-data.mjs` 再收工。不回写等于让下一轮在同一个坑里
再摔一次——参见 `write-back-or-repeat` 和 `fix-data-on-mismatch`。

---

## 七、跑完之后的复核（不要采信驱动器的汇报）

驱动器说「done」不是证据。至少做三件事：

1. **独立读一遍台账**，统计各状态计数，对得上汇报再往下走；
2. **抽验最强的那条断言**——账上任何 `public`，自己 `curl` 一遍看锚点真的在不在。
   本轮抽验了 `sitelike.org`，`rel` 与汇报一致；
3. **确认浏览器会话已释放**，`tab list` 必须返回 `[]`。

---

## 八、跑一轮的合理规模

**宁可 8 个做扎实，不要 16 个做潦草。**
清单里标 `route-unverified` 的（没人真正看过提交入口背后是什么）**不要在本轮花掉**——
先确认路由，下一轮再投。本轮据此主动留下 5 个未动，这是正确的收敛，不是没做完。

`curl` 核路由时**永远加 `-L`**：不跟随 301 会把活着的站报成「不可达」，
而这个假阴性会被原样写进结论。本轮就有一个目标因此差点被误杀。

      # Backlink discovery loop

Use this reference when the user asks to find new backlink opportunities rather
than operate an already-known target.

## Source idea

The workflow comes from the Web.Cafe post “博客评论外链自动发现和自动发布插件原理讲解”.
Its useful insight is a recursive graph, not blind mass commenting:

1. Start with a relevant competitor or known successful site.
2. Obtain its backlink rows from a logged-in Semrush/Ahrefs browser session,
   an authorized export, or another permitted source.
3. Classify each backlink URL. Keep real articles with public comments, profile
   pages, directories, resource pages, and editorial mentions separate.
4. Open likely article pages and inspect the comment area.
5. Extract external commenter website domains with
   `scripts/harvest-commenters.mjs`.
6. Add those domains to `scripts/discovery-queue.mjs`.
7. Fetch backlinks for the new domains and repeat at the next depth.
8. Stop expansion when new qualified domains per batch falls sharply, the
   configured depth is reached, or sources become off-topic/spam-heavy.

## Data-source rule

Prefer an existing OpenCLI adapter. If none exists, use a named OpenCLI browser
session and inspect `opencli browser <session> network` only inside the user's
authorized, logged-in account. Do not bypass CAPTCHA, rate limits, subscription
gates, or export limits. Never print cookies, authorization headers, or raw
credentials into logs or Skill files.

## Qualification

Score candidates on:

- topical relevance to the promoted page;
- public page quality and recent maintenance;
- content originality / Information Gain — does the page show original data,
  first-hand experience, or genuine expertise, or does it just restate what
  other pages already say? Post-March-2026-Core-Update, a page with real
  Information Gain is a stronger link source: it is more likely to rank and
  more likely to be cited in AI Overviews/AI Mode, both of which raise what a
  link from it is worth. [2026-08] This supplements traffic, quality, and
  maintenance below — it does not replace any of them;
- visible organic traffic or ranking evidence when available;
- outbound-domain saturation;
- no-login/public form availability;
- moderation and brand safety;
- whether the resulting link is publicly visible;
- observed `rel` attribute, recorded only after publication.

Treat comment links as auxiliary links. Low-authority comment volume may help a
low-competition site discover opportunities, but it is not a substitute for
editorial links in a competitive niche. Do not repeat unsupported causal claims
that backlinks alone caused traffic growth.

## Parallel lane: forum lists and automation-network footprints

Run this lane beside competitor/commenter expansion when a forum post or shared
table claims hundreds of comment targets:

1. Save the exact source URL and ingest the list as assertions, not verified
   channels, with `third-party-list-ingest.mjs`.
2. Match the normalized roots against `data/network-fingerprints.json` using
   `--blocklist`. A family match is emitted as `excluded`; it is never silently
   deleted, because the negative result is reusable backlink-audit evidence.
3. Cluster the remainder by repeated page title, form-field signature, template
   copy, CSS class, analytics ID, and shared comment backend. Count a cluster as
   one network event until independent operation is actually demonstrated.
4. Send only independent survivors into the ordinary traffic screen and page
   inspection loop. DR, DA, a live homepage, a visible Register button, or a
   third-party “dofollow” column cannot undo a network-family rejection.
5. Keep explicit exceptions. A legitimate platform accidentally mixed into a
   network list must be verified on its own; it does not inherit either the
   family rejection or the list's claimed authority.

```bash
node scripts/third-party-list-ingest.mjs \
  --input forum-list.md \
  --known data/free-channels.json \
  --blocklist data/network-fingerprints.json \
  --out .backlink/forum-leads.json
```

Measured 2026-08-27: the BlackHatWorld Money Robot thread contained 246 unique
roots. `full-design.com` was row 14; 172 roots still shared the fixed homepage
copy plus `motive-2017`. `edublogs.org` was retained as an explicit independent
exception, leaving 245 family-blocked roots. This is a discovery/filter source,
not a submission queue.

## Footprint discovery（搜索指令挖提交页）

A third, independent lane, beside competitor-backlink expansion and third-party
list ingestion: use Google search operators (a "footprint") to find submission
pages directly, without needing a seed competitor's backlink export at all.
Run it with `scripts/footprint-discover.mjs`. Everything below is
【实测 2026-09-12】 unless marked otherwise.

### The four-step pipeline

1. **footprint** — `scripts/footprint-discover.mjs` runs a small set of
   `<keyword> <operator>` queries against real Google, collects raw results,
   and shape-scores each URL. Collect-only, per
   <law-ref id="scripts-collect-ai-judges"/>: no row here is a verdict.
2. **形态过滤（shape filter）** — keep rows with `shapeScore >= 1` (the URL path
   itself contains `submit`/`submission`/`write-for-us`/`guest-post`/
   `add-your`/`directory`/`suggest`) and drop rows already `inLibrary` or
   `fingerprintHit`. This is a mechanical filter on the script's own output,
   not a new judgment.
3. **probe** — feed the survivors' domains into
   `scripts/probe-submission-targets.mjs` to confirm there is an actual
   reachable submission route and read off the gate.
4. **人工核（human review）→ 流量闸门 → 入库** — read the dumped raw HTML in
   `<probe-out>.evidence/` before trusting any `usable`/`open-form`
   suggestion (see "Probe false positives" below), run the traffic screen
   (references/traffic-screen.md) on survivors, then merge with
   `scripts/merge-submission-targets.mjs`. Nothing from this lane skips the
   ordinary qualification gates just because it came from a search operator.

```bash
node scripts/health.mjs
node scripts/footprint-discover.mjs --keyword "browser games" --preset submit \
  --num 20 --out .backlink/footprint-browser-games.jsonl
# build a lead list from the new/unlibraried/non-fingerprinted rows — the
# script prints the exact one-liner for this in its own final summary
node scripts/probe-submission-targets.mjs \
  --input .backlink/footprint-browser-games.jsonl.leads.json \
  --out .backlink/footprint-browser-games.probed.json --concurrency 8
```

### Why real Google, and nothing else

Tried and rejected as substitutes, in two rounds of manual testing:

- **General search APIs** (this repo tried `anysearch`) do not execute
  `inurl:`/`intitle:` at all — they silently run the plain-keyword part of the
  query and drop the operator, with no signal in the response that this
  happened. A footprint query through one of these degrades to an ordinary
  keyword search without anyone noticing.
- **Bing**, driven from a sandboxed browser, redirects by egress IP to a
  localized subdomain (`cn.bing.com` from a CN egress) and drops the operators
  there too — it cannot be a fallback for operator queries. Re-verified
  2026-09-12 with explicit `cc=US&setlang=en-US&ensearch=1`: still redirected
  to `cn.bing.com`, and 0/10 results on `puzzle games inurl:submit` had
  `submit` in the URL path (0% operator hit rate) — the operator was silently
  dropped, same conclusion as the first round.
- **DuckDuckGo's HTML endpoint** answers without JS but also does not honor
  the operators — usable only as a last-resort plain-keyword degrade, never as
  an operator-query substitute.
- Only a **real Google SERP** actually executes `inurl:`/`intitle:`/quoted-
  phrase operators. Two ways to get one — see "Footprint discovery — engine
  choice" below.

### Footprint discovery — engine choice

【实测 2026-09-12，第三轮】`footprint-discover.mjs` implements two engines that
both hit a real Google SERP; which one runs is resolved automatically:

| engine | how | picked when |
|---|---|---|
| `serper` (preferred) | Serper.dev's `/search` API — a plain authenticated HTTP POST, backed by a real Google SERP (not a different search engine), operators execute as-is | `SERPER_API_KEY` is set in `backlink/.env` or the environment |
| `google` (fallback) | the owner's own logged-in Chrome via OpenCLI | no `SERPER_API_KEY` configured, or `--engine google` passed explicitly |

Why Serper is preferred rather than the other way around: it is a metered API
call with its own quota, not a shared login — it has no CAPTCHA, no
"~4 queries per session" ceiling, and no exposure to the machine-wide
contention problem described in the CAPTCHA policy section below (other
concurrent OpenCLI sessions on the same box cannot touch it, because it never
opens a browser tab at all). `--engine serper` passed explicitly without a
key configured is a hard error, not a silent fallback — a missing/typo'd key
should fail loud, not quietly degrade to the browser path and eat CAPTCHA
risk nobody asked for. Get a key at serper.dev; store it as `SERPER_API_KEY`
in `backlink/.env` (gitignored, loaded the same way `SEM_GMITM`/`SIM_GMITM`
already are).

The `google` engine remains fully documented below because it is still the
fallback when no key is configured, and because its CAPTCHA/contention
lessons (preflight check, machine-wide lock, keep-session-on-captcha) are
reusable pattern for any other script that drives a shared logged-in browser.

【实测 2026-09-12，第三轮】**Serper 免费层对带运算符/引号的 query 把 `num` 硬
顶在 10**（`footprint-discover.mjs` 已自动探测并降级重打，见脚本内
`isSerperFreeTierNumCapError`），不是 30。这个截断本身会把 `operatorHit`
比例往下拉——样本从 30 条缩到 10 条，排序靠后的"URL 路径含 submit"信号被
截掉的概率更高。实测 `puzzle games`：`inurl:submit` 40%（Google 网页版基准
~70%）、`inurl:links "submit"` 20%（基准 ~56%）。**不要拿 operatorHit 比例
去卡通过/不通过的门槛**——它只是个软信号，真正的过滤在下一步的
`probe-submission-targets.mjs` + 人工核（读 evidence HTML）。评估一个
Serper 关键词跑得值不值，看**新域名数**（一个关键词单条 `inurl:submit` 就
能出几十个新域名）和**送进 probe 之后的确认率**，不要看 operatorHit 本身。

### CAPTCHA policy

In a sandboxed browser, Google starts showing a CAPTCHA / "unusual traffic"
interstitial from roughly the 4th query onward in one session (measured: 3
queries clean, the 4th blocked). `footprint-discover.mjs` does not evade,
retry through, or solve it — on any CAPTCHA signal it stops the run
immediately, writes a scene (census + screenshot) to `<out>.evidence/`, and
exits non-zero. Everything already written to `--out` before the stop is
kept; `--resume` continues later without re-running completed queries. This
is a real operating constraint, not a bug to route around — plan a sweep as
several short runs, not one long one.

【实测 2026-09-12，第二轮】**Google 搜索没有 Semrush/Similarweb 那种 Tools Share
账号级互斥锁保护。** 那两个配额站的并发靠 `lib-tools-share.mjs` 的
`acquireToolsShareLock` 串行化；普通 Google 搜索走的是机主自己那个已登录的
真实 Chrome，此前没有任何东西把本机上不同会话对 Google 的访问串行化。实测现场：
一次 sweep 里，本机同时还有十几个不相关会话（不是本脚本发起的）在用同一个
Chrome 窗口打 Google 搜索，`opencli browser sessions` 能看到好几个都停在
`google.com/sorry/index`——是**这些并发会话共同触发并持续维持了账号级
CAPTCHA**，单开一个会话冷却 10 分钟甚至 40 分钟再 `--resume` 都等不到窗口，
因为等待期间别的会话仍在继续打 Google、继续续封。

应对（已落地）：
  1. `footprint-discover.mjs` 现在在打开浏览器前先取一把 `google` 键名的机器级
     互斥锁（复用 `acquireToolsShareLock`），至少让本脚本自己的并发调用互相
     串行，不再重蹈 Semrush 19 个 tab 同开的覆辙。
  2. 花任何一条真实操作符 query 之前，先打一条**不消耗操作符**的探测 query
     （`q=test`）；如果这条探测本身就落在 `/sorry`，直接以
     `stopReason: "captcha-preexisting"` 退出，不再往下烧 3 条操作符 query
     的额度，也不用每个关键词各自撞一次墙才发现是同一个账号级封锁。
  3. 这把锁**管不到**本文件之外的脚本/agent——它们完全可能压根没用这套
     lib。**跑一次真实 sweep 之前，先手动 `opencli browser sessions | grep
     sorry`**，如果本机别的会话已经卡在 `/sorry`，此刻开跑基本必撞墙，等它们
     退出或换个时间窗口比反复冷却更有效。

### Effective footprints

| footprint | operator-hit rate | notes |
|---|---|---|
| `<kw> inurl:submit` | ~70% | best single footprint |
| `<kw> inurl:links "submit"` | ~56% | of 27 hits read by hand, ~25 were real submission pages |
| `<kw> "write for us"` | lower hit rate, but | fewest false positives of anything tried |

### Noisy footprints — kept out of the built-in templates on purpose

| footprint | why excluded |
|---|---|
| `<kw> inurl:resources` | only 4–12% real hit rate on real Google; almost every hit is a resource round-up post or a `.edu` page, not a submission form |
| `"add your site"` | dominated by SEO-agency sales pages and "how to submit your site to search engines" tutorials, not real targets |

### Keyword specificity matters

A specific vertical keyword ("browser games", "ai tools") beats a generic one
("web tools") — generic keywords pull in bulk directory-submission services
as noise, not real per-niche submission pages.

### Japanese footprints did not work

Two rounds of Japanese-language footprints (登録, 申請, 相互リンク募集中) produced
**zero** usable leads. Japanese-site submission-page slugs were plain English
(`/contact`, `/apply`) rather than a Japanese equivalent of "submit" — this
needs a different approach (probably: probe likely English slugs directly,
not a Japanese-language footprint), not more footprint variants in this
script.

### Overlap and yield, one measured run

Against the existing library, a footprint sweep's leads overlapped only ~8.5%
with what was already known, and known spam-network fingerprints matched
**zero** results — this lane finds genuinely different targets, not the same
ones by another route. After the URL-shape filter, probing confirmed a real
submission path on ~77% of survivors; the fraction that were zero-account
open forms ranged 22–48% depending on how vertical the seed keyword was (more
vertical → higher open-form share).

### Probe false positives — read the HTML before trusting `open-form`

`probe-submission-targets.mjs`'s classification is a suggestion (see
<law-ref id="scripts-collect-ai-judges"/>), and footprint-sourced leads hit its
blind spots more than curated lists do. Observed false positives labelled
`open-form`/`usable` that were not real submission pages:

- a WordPress theme's plain site-search box, not a submission form;
- `developer.apple.com` and other huge platform docs pages that happen to
  contain a form-shaped element;
- a company's own marketing homepage with a contact or newsletter form.

Always open `<probe-out>.evidence/<domain>.html` (or the live page) before
merging a footprint-sourced `open-form` row into the library.

## State separation

Keep these states distinct:

`candidate → qualified → drafted → filled → submitted → public → indexed → rel_verified`

Never infer a later state. In particular, a filled form, confirmation screen,
email, or pending moderation notice is not a public backlink.
    • field-notes.md 33.9 KB 
      # Field notes: what actually blocks directory submissions

Distilled from running a full submission campaign for a brand-new site end to end.
Everything here is a rule that held across many different targets. No site names,
no metrics, no credentials — those stay in the project's own ledger.

## The three walls, in order of how often they stop you

Most people expect CAPTCHAs to be the main obstacle. They are not.

1. **Mandatory personal contact info** — a required real name, personal email, or
   phone. This is the most common blocker by a wide margin. It is not a technical
   barrier at all, which is exactly why it stops an agent: the operator has to
   decide whether to spend their identity on this listing.
2. **Account registration.** Creating accounts is out of scope; abandon the target
   immediately rather than exploring alternate paths.
3. **CAPTCHA / anti-bot.** Genuinely common, but third.

There is a fourth that looks like a wall and is not: **directories that demand a
street address, city, ZIP, or company registration.** Those are local-business or
B2B-vendor directories. A software product with no legal entity has nothing true
to put there. Record `not applicable` and move on — never invent an address.

**[2026-08] A fifth to check for, new since 2026-06-15: Back Button Hijacking.**
Since Google's April 2026 spam policy took enforcement effect, a target site
running a third-party script that hijacks the browser back button (traps the
visitor, or redirects "back" somewhere other than the actual previous page) is
penalized or at real risk of it — and the site owner is liable even when the
offending script came from an embedded ad or widget, not their own code. This is
observable during target qualification, before any content gets written: press
back on the target page and confirm it actually returns you to the prior page,
and grep the page's scripts for `history.pushState` abuse or a `beforeunload`
handler that redirects. A site doing this is a bad link target regardless of
how it scores on `rel`/`robots` — record it as a rejection, same as a CAPTCHA
or a login wall.

## Landing-page scans give false negatives on CAPTCHAs

Fetching a submit page and grepping for `recaptcha|hcaptcha|turnstile|captcha`
**does not work**. Repeatedly, a landing page scanned clean and the CAPTCHA
appeared on step 2 or later — after a category picker, a terms checkbox, or an
email-gate.

**Walk the form to its final step before concluding anything about it.** Budget
for this: a "quick scan" of N targets is not a real qualification pass.

## Free tiers are priced in time, and that is the product

Free listings routinely carry multi-month review queues, with a paid tier that
skips the line. This is the business model, not a malfunction, and it means:

- A free-tier submission today is not a link for months. Set that expectation
  before the campaign, not after.
- **Submitted is not published, and published is not followed.** Keep them as
  three separate states with separate evidence. A listing can go live with
  `rel="nofollow"` on the outbound link; check the actual `rel` in the DOM rather
  than assuming.

## The gate you scanned is the gate on screen one

Measured 2026-08-19 on the first target actually walked end to end. Its step 1
asked for listing type, category, URL, title, description, name and email —
**no CAPTCHA in the raw HTML, no login, no reciprocal demand**, which is exactly
the profile that gets a row filed as an open, unattended target. Clicking
through to the confirm step produced a `scode` security-code field and a second
Submit button.

So a cohort built from a first-screen scan is **optimistic, and there is no way
to fix that by scanning harder** — the only thing that settles it is walking the
form. Two consequences worth building around:

- Treat "open" from a scan as *a lead about the gate*, not the gate. Re-file the
  row the moment a later step contradicts it.
- Because the surprise is systematic, plan the run so a discovered CAPTCHA costs
  one row and not the batch: fill everything the driver legitimately can, leave
  the page sitting at the confirm step, and push the row into the one manual
  queue described in [batch-campaign.md](batch-campaign.md).

## `requestSubmit()` does not fire a JS-bound submit handler

Also 2026-08-19, on a form whose `action` was an internal `/api/form` endpoint.
The driver filled every field, called `form.requestSubmit(button)`, and reported
a state change of nothing: same URL, same text. **The network capture showed no
request to `/api/form` at all** — so the submission never happened, which is the
good outcome, because the alternative is a driver that reports success on a form
that was never sent.

The cause is that these forms bind a handler to the **button's click**, not to
the form's submit event. `requestSubmit()` and `form.submit()` both bypass it.
The fix is to click the real control, and the check that catches it is the
network capture, not the page text:

```bash
opencli browser "$SESSION" network | grep -i '<the form endpoint>'
```

**Never resolve this state by clicking again.** No request fired here, but the
same "nothing visibly happened" appears when the POST *did* fire and the site
answered silently — and those two are indistinguishable from the page. That is
the `outcome-unknown` state: check the endpoint, the mailbox, and the public
page, in that order, before touching the form a second time.

## A currency amount on the page is not a submission fee

Measured across a 743-row sweep in 2026-08: a bare money regex flagged ~163 of
648 domains as costing money. Once each page was actually read, **about a
quarter of those were not submission fees at all**, and the errors were not
random — they clustered:

- **One legacy PHPLD directory script accounts for most of it.** Two dozen
  domains running it (`addgoodsites`, `adbritedirectory`, `deepbluedirectory`,
  `fire-directory`, `jet-links`, `steeldirectory`, …) all render a sidebar
  offering an **ad banner for $0.80**, while `/submit.php` on the same site is
  free with no fee field anywhere. Same template, same false positive, twenty-odd
  times — so this looks like a trend in the data and is one script.
- **Directories quote the prices of the products they list.** A SaaS directory's
  homepage is wall-to-wall pricing that has nothing to do with listing on it.

The fix that works is proximity, not a better money regex: only count an amount
whose surrounding ~160 characters mention submitting, listing, a plan, a
package, featured/priority placement, or a billing period.
`scripts/probe-submission-targets.mjs` does this and reports the rest separately
as `priceHitsUnscoped`, because "there was money on the page somewhere" is worth
a human glance and worth nothing as a `payment` value.

**`optional` is the most useful answer here, not a hedge.** In the same sweep 18
sites turned out to run a genuine free tier next to a paid fast-track — that is
a *free* channel with a queue, and calling it `required` would have deleted 18
usable targets from the library. Record what the free path costs in time.

## Cloudflare's interstitial makes "dead" unknowable over HTTP

In the same sweep, of 85 hard cases handed to a resolver, **53 could not be
classified at all — and the dominant cause was not dead sites.** It was
Cloudflare's "Just a moment…" JS challenge and WAF blocks, which a browser User-
Agent on `curl` does not get past. Well-known live properties sat in that bucket:
`sourceforge`, `g2`, `getapp`, `goodfirms`, `daniweb`, plus a long tail of
classifieds directories. A second cluster was modern SPAs whose raw HTML is
essentially empty (`aitoolsdirectory`, `booky.io`, `techbasedirectory`), so form
and gate detection finds nothing on a page that is obviously alive.

Both clusters are **alive and unresolvable by HTTP**, which is exactly the state
`unverified` exists for. Do not let them decay into `dead`, and do not let a
report count them as failures: they are the queue for the browser pass, and the
Skill already drives a real logged-in Chrome for precisely this.

Two smaller ones from the same run, both of which need the browser as well:
domain parking that only reveals itself after a **JS redirect to `/lander`**
(two apparently unrelated domains turned out to share one parking template), and
a cluster of expired TLS certificates that need an explicit fallback before any
conclusion is drawn.

## Reciprocal badge requirements

Several directories grant free listings only if you link back. Handle it in this
order:

1. **Read whether they want a *link* or a *badge image*.** Wording like "you can
   set your own link or use one of our badges" means a plain text link satisfies
   it. Prefer that — no asset, no layout cost.
2. **If an image is required, self-host it.** Their snippet hot-links their
   server, which adds a third-party request to every page of your site. The
   verification checks the link, not where the image is served from.
3. **The href often must point to your item/product page, not their homepage** —
   and that page does not exist until the draft is created. This makes it
   inherently two-pass: create the draft, get the slug, update the link, deploy,
   then verify.
4. If they offer an "I've installed it, continue anyway" escape, **do not click
   it** unless it is actually installed. That is a false statement and the
   listing can be pulled later.
5. Watch for a **stated detection deadline** ("removed if not detected within N
   hours"). Deploy before you trigger verification.

Also worth stating plainly to the site owner: stacking many badge images in a
footer starts to look like a link-exchange page, which is its own risk. Text
links keep it modest.

## Email verification is part of the job, not a follow-up

Multiple directories email a confirmation link and **delete unverified entries
after a few days**. A submission without the click is not a submission. Treat
"confirmation email clicked, page returned an explicit VERIFIED string" as the
completion criterion, and say so in the handoff if you cannot access the inbox.

## Browser automation notes

These cost real time to discover and generalise across sites.

### Make the human's step visible

Automation tools commonly default to a **background window**, and their tabs may
be ephemeral. If you fill a form and hand it to a human for the CAPTCHA, they may
see nothing at all — and you will waste turns explaining rather than diagnosing.

**When a human must finish a step, drive the tab they are already looking at**
(most tools have a `bind`-style command that attaches to the active tab). Check
for a foreground/background switch *before* concluding "the two browsers are
different" — the symptom has a boring cause.

### Selector hygiene

**Dump `tag / type / name / id` before writing a selector.** Two separate targets
cost multiple rounds each because an attribute assumed to be `name` was actually
`id`, or vice versa. A tolerant helper avoids the whole class of failure:

```js
const q = n => document.getElementById(n) || document.querySelector(`[name="${n}"]`)
```

Also check for **duplicate ids** — real pages ship them. Confirm you have the
right node by reading the label text near it.

### Framework-controlled inputs

`el.value = x` is swallowed by React and similar frameworks; the UI never sees it.
Use the native setter, then dispatch events:

```js
const set = (el, v) => {
  const proto = el.tagName === 'TEXTAREA' ? HTMLTextAreaElement.prototype : HTMLInputElement.prototype
  Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(proto, 'value').set.call(el, v)
  el.dispatchEvent(new Event('input',  { bubbles: true }))
  el.dispatchEvent(new Event('change', { bubbles: true }))
}
```

### Custom dropdowns (react-select and friends)

Setting `.value` does nothing. Open the control by dispatching
`mousedown`/`mouseup`/`click` on the wrapper, wait for the listbox to render, then
dispatch the same sequence on the option whose text matches exactly — **all inside
one evaluation**, or the dropdown closes between calls.

### A button that "does nothing" may be a multi-step confirm

One target flipped its button's `type` from `button` to `submit` after the first
click, re-showed the same modal twice, and only submitted on the third. **Read the
button's `type` and the surrounding DOM after each click** instead of concluding
the click failed and moving on. This is a deliberate retention pattern, not a bug.

### File uploads when the automation layer is refused

If the debugging-protocol file-input call is denied, inject the file client-side:
`fetch(dataURL)` → `Blob` → `File` → `DataTransfer` → assign to `input.files` →
dispatch `change` and `input`. This avoids the native file chooser entirely.

### Check length limits before typing

Character counters and `maxlength` silently truncate or reject. One 300-character
description failed a 255-character field with no visible error.

### Validate the *shape* of a probe result, not one field of it

A qualification pass over N targets returned "candidate" for 69 of 70. The
number was suspiciously good, and it was: 68 of those probes had returned

```json
{"error": {"code": "attach_failed", "message": "..."}}
```

— valid JSON, but with none of the probe's fields. The classifier read
`if (p.fieldCount === 0) return 'no-form'`, and `undefined === 0` is false, so
every failed probe fell through to the final `return 'candidate'`. The output
was a clean, plausible, entirely fictional qualification table.

**Write the check as "are all expected keys present", never as "does this field
equal a sentinel value".** The second form silently assumes the field exists,
and the failure path is precisely the case where it doesn't:

```js
const REQUIRED = ['url', 'title', 'captcha', 'fieldCount']
const wellFormed = p => !!p && REQUIRED.every(k => k in p)
```

Then give every batch script a **failure-rate gate**: if more than ~20% of a run
came back malformed, exit non-zero and refuse to hand over the results. Without
it, a broken session produces a table that downstream steps consume as fact.

### A result that is much better than the historical rate is a measurement bug

Both of the above were caught by the same instinct rather than by the code: the
pass rate did not match what this kind of work has ever produced. When a batch
suddenly reports an unusually high success rate, suspect the measurement before
celebrating. Re-running a fixed version against a small sample and confirming
the distribution matches history is a cheap check and worth doing every time.

## Blog comments: the submitting session is the worst place to verify

Comment forms are the most available no-registration channel there is, and the
verification trap is severe enough to invalidate a whole campaign report.

- **Seeing your own link after submitting proves nothing.** The common blog
  engine redirects to `?unapproved=<id>&moderation-hash=<hash>#comment-<id>`,
  and that page renders the pending comment **to its author only**. Worse, the
  submission sets an author cookie, so the *same browser session* keeps showing
  the pending comment on the clean URL afterwards. A verifier that just asks
  "is my link on the page?" reports `published` for something no crawler and no
  reader can see. Observed doing exactly this.
- **Judge by the landed URL first**: `unapproved=` or `moderation-hash` in the
  query string means moderation, full stop, regardless of what renders.
- **Confirm public visibility through a channel that has none of your cookies**
  — a reader proxy, a different machine, or a fresh anonymous context. Anything
  else is measuring your own session.
- Guest comment links come back as `rel="nofollow ugc"` or `"ugc external
  nofollow"` on the main engine's default. Publish anyway; just log it.

Two architectural blockers decide most of the target list before any of that:

- **The hosted-blog platform's comment widget is a cross-origin iframe.** It is
  invisible to `document.forms` and to frame enumeration, so form-probing tools
  report "no comment form" on posts that plainly have one. Roughly half of a
  49-post sweep died here.
- **The big hosted-WordPress commenting system** leaves only hidden fields plus
  an anti-spam honeypot in the classic markup; the real UI is rendered by script
  elsewhere. It failed 6 of 6 tested.

Self-hosted installs with a plain anti-spam plugin are the class that actually
works. Searching with both hosted platforms excluded is therefore the productive
footprint — filtering them out afterwards wastes most of the sweep.

## `form.elements[name]` may hand you a collection, not an element

When more than one field shares a name — which anti-spam honeypots deliberately
arrange — `form.elements[name]` returns a node list. Setting `.value` on it
throws nothing, changes nothing, and the form submits empty. This is the same
failure signature as the rich-editor trap: **the field reads back fine and
submits blank.**

Resolve fields with `querySelectorAll('[name="x"]')` and pick the one that is
actually visible (non-zero box), which also skips the honeypot — filling a
honeypot is self-identifying as a bot. Then **assert the body field is non-empty
before submitting**: posting an empty comment burns the target and leaves litter
on someone's site.

## Poll for the element, never sleep a fixed interval

An ad-heavy blog can take well over ten seconds to attach its comment form. A
fixed delay that expires early produces a null result that reads exactly like
"this page has no form" — a false negative that silently shrinks the target
list. Poll for the specific thing you need, with a bounded retry count.

## Never run two agents against one browser session

If a subagent is driving a browser session, **do not drive the same session
yourself**. Concurrent navigation clobbers state, produces intermittent failures
that look like site flakiness, and can overwrite the other's output file. Give
each agent its own session name, and do not "help" a running agent by doing its
work in parallel.

Related trap when scraping a single-page app: after client-side navigation the
**previous query's rows can stay on screen for several seconds** before the new
data swaps in. "Results are present" is not a readiness signal — also require the
new query's own identifier to appear in the page text.

## Mining competitors' backlinks: expect mostly noise

Copying a competitor's backlink profile is sound in principle, and it is the right
instinct for a site with no authority. But budget for the composition:

- A large share of any small site's referring domains is **auto-generated noise** —
  URL shorteners, screenshot/"domain report" generators, search-bang lists, scraper
  aggregates. These attach to any URL that exists. They are not strategy.
- Sorting by "how many competitors share this referring domain" is the right
  ranking, but **the top of that list will be the noise**, precisely because noise
  attaches to everyone. Classify before you treat anything as an opportunity.
- **Bought links announce themselves.** Blocks of numbered domains on one odd TLD,
  appearing within a few days of each other, are a rented network. A single
  unusual TLD holding a large share of a profile points at one network rather than
  many sources.
- What survives the filter is usually small and of one kind: **roundup and
  "best tools" articles, forum threads, and Q&A aggregations — places where a
  human mentioned the tool.** Those are earned, not submitted, and the outreach
  for them is a normal email to the author.

The honest conclusion this supports: for a young site in a niche where the
incumbents bought their links, there is often **no clean bulk path to copy**. Say
that plainly rather than producing a long list of targets that are really a PBN.

## What not to do, and why the request will recur

An operator under pressure will ask for the fast version: a scraped list of blogs
that accept comments without login, posted to in bulk. Expect the request more
than once, and expect it to be backed by real evidence that it works in
low-competition niches.

It is still out of scope here, and the reason is not efficacy: those lists are
harvested from abandoned or unmoderated blogs, and posting promotional comments to
them is advertising on other people's property. The link-farm rule in `SKILL.md`
is not a quality heuristic to be traded away when the legitimate path proves slow.

What *is* in scope, and worth offering instead:

- Writing tooling the operator runs themselves, with a human approving each post.
- Individually-written, genuinely relevant comments where the operator has an
  account and something real to add.
- The outreach path above: roundup inclusion, which produces one editorial link
  worth more than dozens of farm links.

Say the boundary once, plainly, then put the effort into the alternatives rather
than re-arguing it.

## 「没有数据」几乎总有自己的页面形态，别拿超时当判据

批量测流量时，数据源查不到的域名并不是页面加载失败——它**正常渲染完成**，
只是把指标区换成了一句「未找到匹配内容」加一排 `N/A`。

第一版轮询只认「总访问量」这个内容词。有数据的域名 5 秒返回，没数据的域名
**白等满一整个 45 秒超时**，而在外链目标里没数据的那一档恰恰占比最大，
于是整批的平均耗时翻了三倍——批量作业里这就是能不能跑完的差别。

**判据：任何「查不到 / 没有结果 / 空态」的分支，先去页面上把它自己的那句话找出来，
用它做正面判定；超时只留给真正的卡死。** 代价不对称——多认一个空态字符串是一分钟的事，
拿超时兜底是每条记录都要付的税。

顺带一条：**空态页仍然带着这个域名的简介文案**（数据源从站点抓的 meta description）。
所以「页面上出现了这个域名」不足以证明「查到了数据」，轮询条件必须认指标本身或空态串，
不能认域名。

## 超时不是结论——「没测到」和「没有」在超时那一刻长得一模一样

这条是上一条的反面，而且比上一条贵得多，因为它**污染数据而不报错**。

上一条说「空态要正面认出来」。第一版顺手做了个看起来很合理的推论：
既然认不出指标就说明没数据，那超时就记 `below-floor`（低于测量下限）吧。

**错。** 实测一个自然流量 2.4K 的目录站被这么判成了「没流量」，
另一个 4.6K 的也是。原因只是概览页那一次渲染慢，超过了 41 秒的阈值。
**渲染慢的页面和真的没有数据的页面，在超时那一刻的可观测状态完全相同，
而两者的结论正好相反。**

规则：

- **只有数据源明说「未找到匹配内容」才算 `below-floor`。**
- **超时一律记 `error`。** error 的语义是「这次没测成」，不是判决。
- **续跑时 `error` 不算跑过**，必须重测。反过来会把一次会话故障造成的空洞
  永久固化下来，而且从输出行数上完全看不出来——行数是齐的。
- 写回主表时，遇到 error 要**清掉**该域名上已有的旧判决，
  否则由 error 降级来的错误结论会一直冒充「已测」。

判据一句话：**任何「查不到」的结论，都要能说出数据源在哪句话里说了「没有」。
说不出来，就只是你没等到。**

## 共享面板的真实瓶颈是每日配额，不是速度

把登录摊销掉之后单域名 5 秒，很容易得出「几百个域名半小时跑完」的结论。
**跑到第 110 个左右，面板上的「API 今日配额」从 13% 涨到 100%，之后每一次
eval 都超时**——表现和会话挂掉一模一样，脚本里的报错还在教人「换个节点」。

- **真实吞吐 ≈ 每天 120 个域名/张卡片**，不是每小时几百个。规划批量筛选时按这个算。
- **配额是按卡片分开的。** 一张打满了，另一张往往还满着——换工具继续，
  不要因为其中一张见底就整批停下。代价是口径变了，必须在数据里标明来源。
- **配额耗尽必须能和会话故障区分开。** 跑之前和跑挂之后都去读一次面板上的
  「今日配额」，那是唯一能直接区分两者的地方。
- 因此批量脚本必须有**连续失败熔断**：会话一挂，后面每个域名都要付满一整个超时，
  实测连烧 48 个域名 60 秒才被人发现。连续 N 次失败就停下报错，不要跑完整张表。

## The identity fields are the ones a campaign gets wrong, and nobody notices

Two identity errors surfaced only because the owner read the reply, not because
anything failed. Both had already reached third-party sites by then, and a
directory submission has no retract button.

**The contact email must come from the site's own published address, never from
the person driving the run.** A campaign filled the operator's personal Gmail
into every form for the first 156 attempts. It was caught after 6 submissions
had actually fired, at least 3 of them confirmed sent. The site's real address
was sitting in its own codebase the whole time — one grep found it appearing
8 and 12 times respectively across the contact page and the JSON-LD.

So: **before the first form, grep the site for its own contact address**, put it
in the payload as the single source, and make every result row report the
`emailUsed` it actually typed. A field that is never reported back is a field
nobody can audit.

```
grep -rhoE "[a-zA-Z0-9._%+-]+@[a-zA-Z0-9.-]+\.[a-z]{2,}" <site-src> \
  | grep -viE "@types|@tanstack|@cloudflare|@vite|@radix|@tailwind" \
  | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head
```

**A non-English site must be described in its own language.** The same campaign
wrote English blurbs for a Japanese-market site through several rounds. Nothing
rejected them — English is accepted by English directory forms, so the failure
is invisible from inside the run. The blurb is what a human reads before
approving the listing, and in the target market's directories it is also what
gets indexed.

Encode it as a rule the filler cannot skip: carry **both** language variants in
the payload, make the local language the default, permit the English one **only**
when the form itself is English-only and rejects the local script, and require
every row to record `langUsed` plus the reason when it is not the default.
"Judgement call" is not enough — an agent optimising for "the form accepted it"
will always pick the language it wrote the description in first.

## Run the traffic screen BEFORE the form, not after — the cost is asymmetric

This Skill already says so; a campaign skipped it anyway, and the bill was paid
by a human. Measuring a domain costs one query. Filling its form costs two orders
of magnitude more, and when the route is CAPTCHA-gated the last step costs a
**person's attention**, which is the most expensive unit in the whole pipeline.

Measured on one batch of 12 CAPTCHA routes a human solved by hand:

| tier | count | traffic |
|---|---|---|
| worth it | 6 | 945k / 146k / 138k / 35k / 24k / 11k |
| worthless | 6 | 176, 43, 245, and three not indexed by the traffic panel at all |

**Half of that person's manual work went to sites with double-digit traffic.**
A single batch query beforehand would have removed all six.

The same run measured the effect directly. Counting every attempt row in the
run's own output files, and defining the split as *all work done before the gate
existed* versus *the one batch selected through it*:

| | attempts | confirmed | rate |
|---|---:|---:|---:|
| no traffic gate | 283 | 7 | **2.5%** |
| gated on `monthlyVisits >= 100` | 53 | 4 | **7.5%** |

Same payloads, same scripts, same day. **Three times the yield for one cheap
query per domain.**

State the denominator whenever you quote a rate like this. The first pass at
these numbers reported 1.1% → 3.3% from memory; recomputing from the files gave
2.5% → 7.5%. The *ratio* survived, the absolute rates did not — and a rate with
no stated denominator cannot be checked by the next reader.

Corollary for reporting: a panel that rewrites the requested window (asking for
28d and landing on 6m — the tool prints this) gives numbers that are **not**
monthly. They still rank domains correctly, so the screen works, but never copy
them into a ledger labelled "monthly visits".

## `open` cohort labels rot, and they rot toward false positives

A snapshot of "has an open form, no login" taken 10 days earlier was mostly
wrong when re-walked. Across 336 attempts, 272 were skipped, and the two largest
reasons were **the route is a homepage with no submission form at all** and
**login required** — i.e. exactly the two properties the cohort claimed to
exclude.

The cheap repair is already in this Skill:
`probe-submission-targets.mjs` is plain HTTP and costs nothing per target.
Running it first turned a 194-target queue into 59 with a real `open-form` gate,
**and separately recovered 7 real open forms out of a pool that had been filed
as CAPTCHA-gated** — the rot runs in both directions.

**So the order is: probe → traffic screen → fill.** Two cheap passes before the
expensive one. A campaign that walks straight from a stored cohort into a
browser is spending its most expensive resource on the least reliable data.

## Staged CAPTCHA forms die with the process that filled them

A sub-agent that fills a form and leaves the session open is **not** handing the
human a form to finish. Measured twice: when the agent's process ended, its
sessions went with it, and the tabs the human had been told to go click were
gone. The first time this happened it cost 8 filled forms; the second time,
another 18.

Two things follow, and the second matters more:

1. **The durable artifact is a replay record, not a session.** Store the final
   URL, every field's selector / name / the exact value typed, and the submit
   control's selector. Then any process can re-stage the form in one pass.
2. **Whoever will still be alive when the human clicks should be the one that
   opens the tab.** Staging from the orchestrator rather than from a worker is
   the difference between a form that is waiting and a promise that is not.

Re-staging from a replay record exposed two more traps worth naming:

- **A generated fill script that goes through a shell is a quoting hazard, and
  it fails silently.** Six of twelve re-stagings opened the page, executed, and
  filled **nothing**, with no error anywhere — the page was up, the fields were
  there, the values never arrived. Prefer the CLI's own per-field fill over
  hand-built JS, or pass the script through a file rather than an argument.
- **`fill` does not work on `<select>`; that needs `select`, with the option's
  real `value`.** A replay record that stored the human-readable label
  ("Computers > Software") cannot drive it. And the option list can be several
  thousand entries long — one had 3,500 — so a lookup that reads the first
  screenful of options finds nothing and reports "no match" on a page where the
  match exists.

## Staged tabs: two separate failures, and the one that matters is visibility

**Failure 1 — a concurrent cap, and exceeding it evicts silently.** Measured
repeatedly on one machine: roughly **6 concurrent sessions**. Opening one more
does not error; the least-recently-touched session is dropped **without a word**
and its tab is gone. Confirmed by the cleanest possible control: with an
unrelated probe session occupying one slot, a batch of four staged forms came
back three — closing the probe and re-staging the missing one worked
immediately. **Your real budget is the cap minus whatever other tasks already
hold**, so count the live sessions before staging, not after.

**Failure 2 — and this is the one that actually wasted the person's time:
`--window isolated` opens a window the person never looks at.** A batch was
staged four times over, verified alive each time, and reported to the owner;
they answered "I only see a blank browser, I don't see anything" every time.
The tabs were real and the forms were filled — they were just in a window that
was not the one on screen, and when that window got closed every session inside
it died at once.

The all-at-once disappearance is worth naming, because it invites a wrong
diagnosis: it looks exactly like someone running a blanket cleanup, and it was
briefly recorded here as such. **A whole-window close and a blanket cleanup are
indistinguishable from the session list alone.** Tell them apart by whether an
unrelated task's sessions also vanished *and* the daemon is still healthy —
`opencli doctor` came back fully green through all of it.

**So: work a person is expected to finish goes in `--window foreground`.**
It steals the active tab, which the background-by-default law exists to prevent
— and that is the correct trade here, because a tab nobody can find is worth
exactly nothing. Reserve `isolated` for automation whose output is a file, not
a hand-off.

Two more things that survived the whole episode:

- **Verify by reading the page back, not by trusting the fill command.** Count
  the non-empty inputs in the tab (`filled: 10, of: 13`) — the remainder is the
  CAPTCHA and the submit button, which is exactly the shape a correct hand-off
  should have. A `fill` that returns 0 is not proof anything landed.
- **Re-verify the session list immediately before naming the tabs to the
  person.** Between staging and reporting is where they vanish.

## A fixed session name is a single point of failure across concurrent tasks

Quota sites converge on one session name on purpose (see the browser-runtime
laws) — that is what serialises concurrent callers into one tab. The cost is
that **any task can close it, and every other task using it dies immediately.**

Observed: a long batch traffic run crashed with `No active session "…-nav"`
partway through, because an unrelated workflow on the same machine had closed
that session during its own cleanup. Nothing was wrong with the batch.

Two mitigations, both cheap:

- **Make batch runs resumable and always pass the resume flag on restart.** The
  run above lost nothing because its output was append-per-domain; restarting
  with `--resume` picked up at the exact domain it died on.
- **Never close a session you did not open**, and never run the blanket cleanup
  while other tasks are live. The existing law says this; this is the failure it
  prevents, written down.

# 从登录态后台批量取数

> 本文原为独立的 `browser-harvest` Skill，2026-08-16 并入 `backlink`。
> 内容是通用的——SEO 面板、广告平台、电商后台都适用，不限于外链。
> 脚本路径相对本 Skill 根目录（即 `backlink/`）。

很多值钱的数据在 SaaS 后台里：没有 API，或者 API 单独收费，或者导出按行扣点数。
界面就在那儿，人能看见，脚本却拿不到。本 Skill 解决的就是这段路。

**适用**：SEO/分析/广告/电商后台的报表页，需要登录态，数据以表格或列表呈现。
**不适用**：有开放 API 的服务（直接调 API）、静态公开页面（普通抓取即可）。

## 零、先决条件：必须用用户的真实浏览器

登录态在用户的浏览器里。任何"干净"的无头浏览器都没有会话，跑起来只会看到登录页。

- 用能连接用户真实浏览器的工具。在本 Skill 里默认就是 OpenCLI（`opencli browser <session> …`），
  它走的正是用户自己的 Chrome；Claude in Chrome 一类的扩展通道同理。
- 内置的、隔离的预览浏览器**没有登录态**，不要用它去开后台。
- 如果同时存在两套浏览器工具，开工前明确说明用的是哪一套，别让用户以为你在他的浏览器里操作、实际却在一个空环境里空转。
- **`<session>` 必须取一个全局唯一的名字**，不要用 `panel`、`harvest` 这类固定串。
  会话名就是标签页的所有权：并发任务撞了名字就共用一个标签页，导航照样报成功，
  但 `eval` 读回来的是别人的页面。批量抓取跑得久，最容易撞上。
  取名规则和实测证据见 SKILL.md 的 "The session name is a tab claim"。

## 一、四个必踩的坑

### 1. 现代后台的表格不是 `<table>`

高性能数据网格普遍用虚拟滚动：DOM 里只有可视区那几十行，而且常是**列式**结构——
行号、名称、数值各在自己的容器里。`querySelectorAll('tr')` 返回 0，`role="row"` 也常常没有。

**解法：按屏幕坐标重建行。** 取所有叶子元素的 `getBoundingClientRect()`，按 Y 聚类，行内按 X 排序。

两个关键细节：

- **锚点要选稳定的那一列**。用行号列做锚点会漏行（实测 100 行漏 23 行，因为行号单元格
  和其它单元格偶尔落进不同的 Y 分桶）。改用**内容主列**（名称/关键词那一列）做锚点，
  再收同一 Y ±11px 的其它单元格，才能 100% 还原。
- **一定要限定扫描范围**。整个 `document` 扫 `div,span,a` 单次约 2 秒，滚动循环几十次就爆超时；
  改用 `TreeWalker` 且只在滚动容器内走，实测降到 **6ms**（快 300 倍）。写循环前先量单次耗时。

不同报表的列位不一样。写死 x 区间的版本换一张表就错位，**默认用列位自适应**（纯按 Y 聚类，
不假设任何列的 x）。

**URL 列是例外，必须从 `href` / `title` 属性读，不能从文本读。** 长 URL 在单元格里会换行成两行
并加省略号：文本本身是截断的，而且换行让这个单元格跨两个 Y 分桶，坐标法会把整行拆散、
再被 `minCells` 过滤掉——**这一类行会静默整批消失**。实测某报表 100 行里 78 行是长 URL，
坐标法只回收到 18 行，没有任何报错，肉眼看输出也很正常。属性里存的是完整 URL，一次全拿到
（用 `grabLinks()`）。判据：如果某报表的"页面/网址"列在结果里明显偏少，先怀疑这一条。

### 2. 数据出不了页面沙箱

页面里的 JS 能看到数据但**没有文件系统**；你的 shell 能写盘但**没有登录态**。中间只有三条通道：

| 通道 | 实测 |
|---|---|
| 代码执行工具的返回值 | 约 1KB 就截断，几十 KB 的表要分十几次取，慢且易错 |
| 剪贴板 `navigator.clipboard.writeText` | 常报 `NotAllowedError: Document is not focused`，还会把执行通道卡到超时 |
| **Blob + `<a download>`** | ✅ 唯一稳的高带宽出口，几十 KB 一次到位 |

所以标准做法是：页面里把数据拼成字符串 → `new Blob()` → 造一个 `<a download>` 点一下 →
文件落到下载目录 → 再用 shell 读进项目。这不是绕远路，这是唯一的路。

### 3. 执行通道超时 ≠ 任务失败

浏览器代码执行工具通常有单次超时（常见 45 秒）。长滚动循环必然超时——
**但超时的是传输通道，页面里的循环还在跑**。实测超时后回查全局变量，活儿早干完了。

**解法：永远不要 `await` 长循环。** 触发函数立即返回（fire-and-forget），把进度写进全局，
再用单独一次调用轮询。误把超时当失败会导致重复执行，进而产生重复文件（见第 4 节）。

### 4. 后台标签不渲染

想开多个标签并行时会发现：导航后 `init()` 拿不到滚动容器，连续几个目标全失败。

原因是 SPA 在**从未渲染过的标签**里不 mount 虚拟表格。准确的判据是：

- **新建且从未前台化过的标签** → 导航后拿不到滚动容器，必失败。
- **已经前台化渲染过一次的标签** → 之后即使一直在后台，切 hash 导航照样能挂载并抓全
  （实测后台标签连续抓下多个报表，行数完整）。

**更要命的是定时器节流，而且它会随时间恶化**：

| 状态 | `setTimeout` 实际间隔 |
|---|---|
| 前台 | 正常 |
| 刚转后台 | 约 2.4×（实测 1000ms → 2403ms） |
| **后台超过约 5 分钟** | Chrome 的**密集节流**：定时器降到约**每分钟一次** |

第三档是隐形杀手：一个 25 步的滚动循环在前台约 4 秒，进入密集节流后要 **25 分钟**。
表现出来就是"任务卡死"——日志不动、行数不动、滚动位置不动，但循环其实还活着，
只是每分钟走一步。实测一轮批量采集就是这样在第 10 个目标上停住的。

**判据**：隔几分钟查两次进度，行数与 `scrollTop` 都完全不动 = 撞上密集节流，不是死循环。

**解法**：
- 长批量任务**必须让标签保持前台**。开始前前台化一次不够，整轮都要在前台。
- 无法保证前台时（比如用户正在用浏览器），就**把每个目标的定时器次数压到最少**——
  大步长滚动、去掉不必要的等待——而不是指望它自己跑完。
- 多开的收益因此只有约 1.5–2 倍，**瓶颈是节流不是并发数**。
- 别为了抢前台去打断用户正在用的浏览器；宁可让批次小一点、分多轮跑。

### 5. 会话本身会坏，而且**会粘住**

前四个坑都假设浏览器会话是好的。它不是。一个批量任务跑到中途，
后面每一个目标都失败、失败原因还都一样，通常不是那些目标有问题，
是**会话被前一个目标带坏了**。

已确认的两种毒化源：

- **证书坏掉的站**。浏览器停在「隐私设置错误」拦截页，
  而这种 interstitial 是**不可附着的 target**。要命的是导航命令自己
  也要先附着才能工作 —— 于是进得去出不来，一个过期证书废掉整轮。
- **不可附着的响应**：下载、PDF viewer、`chrome-error://`。

**恢复必须走一条不依赖页面状态的路。** 导航命令、`location.reload()`、
甚至"打开 about:blank"全都无效，因为它们都要先附着。
可用的是浏览器扩展的 **tab 管理接口**（列出标签 → 关掉中毒的那个），
它走的不是页面通道。关掉之后会话会落到一个干净标签上，脚本立刻恢复。

```js
// 伪代码：附着失败时的恢复，唯一可靠的顺序
probe() → 形状不对 → tabList() → tabClose(每个 page id) → probe() 重试
```

还要**区分「环境坏了」和「这个站本身附不上」**：重试并恢复之后，
再探一次会话本身（跑个 `1+1`）。会话是好的 → 是站的问题，
记成一条正常结论（站不可用）；会话也是坏的 → 才是环境故障。
两者混在一起，失败率闸门就失去意义。

### 6. 单页应用只在加载时读一次路由

深链带 hash 的后台，**改 hash 不会触发它重新取数**：URL 变了、
界面停在原路由，`hashchange` 事件手工派发也没用。更隐蔽的是，
"打开这个 URL"在**只有 hash 不同**时会被浏览器当成同文档导航，
**不重新加载**——所以看起来你已经切到新查询了，其实还是旧页面。

**设完 hash 必须强制 `location.reload()`。** 资源已在缓存里，
重载通常十几秒就渲染好，比冷启动快得多。

同一类应用的冷启动还会**卡在 loader 上，body 恒为空**，
再怎么轮询也不会好。这种时候一次 `reload()` 就能救回来。
**把「冷启动卡住」当常态处理，不要当异常**——写进重试链，别每次手工救。

### 7. 外壳渲染了但内容区是空的 = 挂载失败，不是加载慢

比 6 更常见的一种卡死，判据要写死在脚本里，否则每次都会误判成"再等等"：

- **外壳在、内容区空** —— 导航栏、头像、账号菜单都渲染出来了，
  说明**登录态完全正常**，只是报告本体没挂载。表现是 `body.innerText`
  恒为几十个字符、目标节点数恒为 0，**等多久都不会好**。
  一次 `location.reload()` 通常几十秒就全出来。
- **连外壳都没有** —— 那才是网络或登录态问题，reload 治不好，去查会话。

因此重试链要按**阶梯自愈**写，不要靠人盯：

```
open → 无条件 reload → 等目标节点
     → 没出来：reload 再试 1–2 次
     → 还没出来：关掉全部标签页 + 重开 + reload
     → 仍然没有：报错退出
```

无条件那次 reload 是关键：不要等超时了才补救，因为"打开即卡住"是常态而非异常。
关标签页那一档必须保留——它是唯一能从**不可附着**状态（坏证书拦截页、
卡死的 loader）里出来的路，因为 tab 接口走扩展的 tab API，不需要先附着到页面。

## 二、文件与合并的纪律

这一段全是"输出看着正常、数据其实错了"的坑，比上面四个更危险。

### 失败的抓取绝不允许写进正式产物路径

**这一条排在最前面，因为它造成的是不可逆的数据丢失。**

实测：一次"表格渲染超时"让脚本走到了统一的写盘出口，
把已有的 295 KB / 300 行结果**覆盖成了 295 字节的错误存根**——
状态字段确实写着 `error`，文件也确实生成了，但那份花了几十分钟、
扣过额度、按时间升序才拿到的数据没了，只能重抓。

- 失败时写 `<正式名>.FAILED-<时间戳>.json` 并以**非零码**退出，
  正式路径**一个字节都不碰**。
- 通用判据：**写入方必须假定目标位置上已经有一份比自己更值钱的东西。**
  "反正这次跑完会重新生成"这个假设，在抓取类脚本里永远不成立。
- 同理，索引/manifest 要**合并写入**而不是覆盖：一个目录会攒很多次抓取的产物，
  覆盖等于抹掉"抓过谁、抓到哪天"，而那正是下次不重复劳动的唯一依据。

### 原始档之外再落一份表格

下游脚本读 JSON，但**筛渠道是人在表格软件里做的**——排序、标记、划掉。
JSON 在表格软件里打不开，于是"以后再转一次"就等于"要用时先写个转换脚本"，
等于没保存。抓完同时落 `.json` 与 `.csv`，成本是十几行代码。

### 文件名必须带日期和作用域

浏览器对同名下载**不覆盖**，而是另存成 `xxx (1).ext` 或**直接去掉扩展名**。
实测同一个目标因为重复触发，产生了两份**内容不同**的文件（一份带扩展名一份不带）。
之后按 `*.ext` 通配去合并，要么漏读要么重复计入，而且完全不报错。

- 文件名格式：`<前缀>_<YYYYMMDD>_<作用域>_<类型>.tsv`
- 合并脚本必须**主动检测**重复文件（`(1)` 后缀、同目标多份），命中就 exit 1，不要静默合并。

### 下载是异步的，等齐再收

Blob 下载不是同步完成的，最后一个文件常常晚几秒落盘。
实测在最后一个下载完成前就复制，**整整一个数据源静默丢失**，而合并报告看起来完全正常。

**一律用等待脚本**：轮询到文件数达标才复制，等不到就报错退出，不要手工 `cp`。

### 合并按"字段形态"识别，不要按列号

同一个后台的不同报表，列数和列序都不同，而且常有可变数量的标签列。
按固定下标取字段必然错位——会出现"数值被当成名称"这种垃圾行混进最终报告。

用正则按形态识别：数量级形态（`12.3K`）、百分比、URL、纯整数区间……
并且**加一条脏数据断言**：主键列必须含字母，不能匹配数值/百分比/徽章词。

### 合并时注意"高优先级行覆盖低优先级字段"

多来源合并时常写成"取数值更大的那条"。但不同来源的列不一样——
数值大的那条可能**缺少**另一条独有的关键字段（比如落地页 URL），
直接 `Object.assign` 会把它抹成空。

实测这个 bug 让一张关键报表的头号条目从「91 项 / 180 万」缩水成「52 项 / 1.3 万」，
**差两个数量级**，而报告本身毫无异常。

**解法**：合并前先把要保留的字段存下来，覆盖后再赋回。

## 三、判断边界：脚本负责采集，不负责裁决

自动化最危险的失败不是报错，是**静默输出了看似合理的错误结果**。以下三类必须由人或 agent 判断：

1. **过滤器会不会误杀。** 实测一份多语言过滤的停用词表里，某个短词同时是目标语言的常用词，
   于是**整个数据集里体量最大的那一条被静默删除**，全程无任何报错。
   凡是写过滤器，就必须拿一个已知必须保留的样本去核。
2. **口径对不对。** 数据是全球口径还是单国口径、是估算还是实测、时间窗口是多长——
   口径错了，后面所有排序和结论都错。工具的高级筛选常常是付费功能，
   拿不到就必须在本地补一层过滤，并在产出里**显式标注口径**。
3. **"数值大"不等于"该做"。** 采集只回答"有多少"，不回答"值不值得"。

配套动作：给每次采集跑一个**覆盖率审计**——数据里出现了多少个实体？实际抓了几个？
关键字段的覆盖率是多少？有没有脏行？不审计就会像实测那样，**以为扒遍了竞品，
实际只抓了名单里的 5/80**，而且用错了字段（用"第一名"那一列当成了"前十名单"）。

## 四、脚本

| 脚本 | 用途 |
|---|---|
| [`scripts/ground-truth.mjs`](../scripts/ground-truth.mjs) | **先看这个。** 双证人采集（穿透 shadow DOM 的读数 + 每屏截图）、内层滚动容器自动定位、manifest/stopReason、工具锁、落点自检、剥敏 |
| [`scripts/harvest.browser.js`](../scripts/harvest.browser.js) | 贴进浏览器执行工具：坐标重建行、列位自适应、批量导航、Blob 导出。**只有 DOM 一个证人、没有 manifest**，留着是因为它仍是「把整张表导成文件」的唯一路子；用它就自己补截图 |
| [`scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs`](../scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs) | **表有几百上千页时看这个。** 翻页批采：机制判定（`--probe`）、每页一份证据、断点续跑、保守上限（默认 5 页，绝不默认全量）、行数自检。配方与配额账见 [`pagination-harvest.md`](pagination-harvest.md) |
| [`scripts/harvest-collect.sh`](../scripts/harvest-collect.sh) | 等下载齐、拦重复文件、收拢到项目目录 |
| [`scripts/harvest-merge.mjs`](../scripts/harvest-merge.mjs) | 合并 TSV → CSV：重复文件守卫、脏行过滤、字段保留式去重 |

用法见各脚本头部注释。**脚本里不写任何具体站点、账号或本机路径**——
那些属于项目侧，放各项目自己的记忆目录。

## 五、把它固化下来

任何"会再做第二次"的后台取数操作，第一次跑通就写成脚本并登记：用途、参数、
依赖哪个登录态、已验证日期。下次先跑脚本，不重新摸索 DOM。
页面改版导致脚本失败时**修脚本**，不要绕过它手工再点一遍；
失败原因写进脚本头部注释，下次少走一遍。

## 两个采集上限，都是 2026-08-19 实测撞出来的

### Semrush（Tools Share 共享账号）每个报表硬顶 100 行

`/analytics/backlinks/backlinks/` 的分页 **点得动但不动**：`Next` 按钮
可点击、无 `disabled`、`click` 返回 `clicked:true`，但范围指示始终停在
`1 - 100 (~50,988)`。连点 12 次抓回 1200 行，去重后只有 90 个唯一源——
同一页抓了 12 遍。`最佳` / `活跃` / `Follow` 这些筛选片同样点不生效。
`导出` 按钮点下去既不弹菜单也不产生下载。

**所以这个账号下，一个域名的上限就是首屏那 100 行。**
判定方法：抓完先看「唯一源域名数 / 总行数」，比值接近 1/N 就是在重复抓同一页。

**由此决定的策略：横向铺同行，而不是纵向深挖一个。**
21 个同行 × 100 行 = 2100 行、521 个去重来源域名，比在一个域名上死磕有效得多。
按「出现在多少个**独立**同行身上」排序，就得到这个圈子公认能发的地方——
这正是哥飞说的抄作业，只是把它量化了。

### 导航的三个坑

- `tools-share-open.mjs --goto` 对 `/analytics/...` 路径有效，**对 `/home/` 无效**。

## 把 OpenCLI 输出直接重定向成 .json，会得到一个解析不了的文件（2026-08-22）

`opencli` 在 Node 22 下会往输出里打两行运行时警告：

```
(node:71826) [UNDICI-EHPA] Warning: EnvHttpProxyAgent is experimental, expect them to change at any time.
(Use `node --trace-warnings ...` to show where the warning was created)
```

于是 `opencli browser "$S" eval '…' > evidence.json` 存下来的文件，
**前 178 字节是这两行警告，后面才是 JSON**。表现是：

- 文件存在、大小正常（10KB）、`head` 看上去像那么回事；
- `json.load()` 直接抛异常，且异常信息指向解析器内部，**看不出是被污染了**；
- 如果这个文件是"证据留存"，那它**看起来合规、实际不可用**——
  而这类失败往往要到很久以后有人去复核时才被发现。

**做法**：写文件前先截到第一个 `{`，并且**解析成功才落盘**——
解析不过就抛错，不要把一个坏文件覆盖成另一个坏文件。

```python
raw = open(f, encoding="utf-8").read()
i = raw.find("{")
body = raw[i:] if i > 0 else raw
json.loads(body)              # 不过就抛，不写
open(f, "w", encoding="utf-8").write(body)
```

同类判据：**任何把命令行输出当结构化数据存盘的地方，都要先解析再落盘。**
「命令退出码 0 + 文件非空」不构成"拿到数据了"。

顺带一条 shell 陷阱，本项目已重复踩到：**zsh 里 `for … do` 循环体内嵌 heredoc 会解析失败**
（`parse error near 'done'`）。把逻辑写成独立脚本文件再跑，不要在 `-c` 里拼。

      # Index submission — the channels that publish no link

**Nothing in this reference produces a backlink.** An index-submission channel
hands a URL to a search engine and gets nothing back but a confirmation string.
It is in this Skill for two reasons, and neither of them is placement:

1. **The verify stage was under-specified.** The state machine ends at
   `indexed`, and it never said *whose* index. Every promotion to `indexed` in
   practice came from Search Console or a Google/Bing `site:` query — one
   family of crawlers standing in for "the web".
2. **An engine outside IndexNow gets nothing from the automated push.** The
   usual "ping IndexNow after deploy" wiring reaches Bing, Yandex, Seznam and
   Naver. An engine with its own crawler and no IndexNow membership is simply
   not in that list, and no amount of deploying moves it.

Records live in [`data/index-submission.json`](../data/index-submission.json),
validated by the same `scripts/validate-data.mjs` gate as everything else.

## Do not merge this into `free-channels.json`

That file's contract is *a place that publishes a link*: every row must answer
`anchorRendered` and, when checked, `relObserved`. Those two questions are
meaningless here — there is no anchor, because there is no page. A submission
form filed as a channel would read, to anyone querying the data later, as one
more place we got a link. The Skill's standing rule already covers it: **do not
record a submission as a backlink.** This file is how that rule survives contact
with a genuinely useful channel that happens not to be one.

## Why this is a GEO channel, stated precisely

The reason to care about a second index is not its own result page — for most
engines here that traffic is a rounding error. It is that **an independent index
is a grounding source for AI answers**, and a page missing from the index is
missing from every answer built on it.

Keep this argument tied to what the operator publishes about itself. Brave's own
API page is explicit that the index is not a scraper over Google or Bing but its
own, and sells it for grounding chatbots and AI search — that is a citable
claim with a URL behind it, which is why the schema requires `aiGrounding.source`.
What must **not** go in: "assistant X uses index Y". Those pairings change
quietly, are rarely confirmed by either party, and turn the field into folklore.

## The measurement that justifies the work

Before submitting anything, get the baseline, because without it the campaign
can never be judged:

```
site:<domain>  on the target engine   →  how many pages it already has
Search Console / Bing coverage        →  how many pages Google/Bing have
```

A wide gap is the signal. On the one site measured so far the gap was **1 versus
37 of 38** — not a crawl-delay story, an entire engine we had never touched.

Then **recheck after**, and record the outcome either way. A submission channel
that moves nothing is a finding worth as much as one that works; without the
recheck this is 38 manual operations justified by a hunch.

## Writing it down afterwards

Qualify every index claim with the engine: `indexed@google`, `indexed@brave`.
The `id` in the data file is the qualifier. An unqualified "indexed" is a claim
about the whole web made from one crawler's opinion.

Do not retroactively rewrite old ledger entries — the cost exceeds the value and
the reading is recoverable from the evidence note. Qualify new ones.

## Per-engine mechanics

Read the `traps` array on each record before automating anything. The Brave form
is documented there in full; the shape of its traps generalises past it:

- **A synthesised `click()` may not submit.** A passive human check can require
  a trusted event. Injecting the field value programmatically is usually fine —
  it is the click that has to be real. This is not CAPTCHA bypass and must never
  become it: the check runs normally and clears itself, or the channel is
  rejected.
- **Enter is not a submit button.** Verify, do not assume.
- **A passive check takes seconds.** Navigating away during it discards the
  submission with no error. Wait for the confirmation text.
- **Success may disable the form permanently.** One URL per page load.
- **Our own network log is not the judge.** After an in-page reload, request
  logging can stop recording while submissions keep succeeding. The judge is the
  target's own confirmation string — the same rule that governs the placement
  workflows.

## What is not in here yet

Only engines that were actually operated get a record. Other independent indexes
exist — Brave's own result page offers Mojeek alongside Google and Bing — but
**whether they have a submission endpoint at all is unchecked**, and an
unverified row is worth less than an absent one. Check one, operate it, then add
it.

      # Instant-publish platforms: the no-registration channel

The recurring request is "find me places that take a link without an account".
Directory submission almost never satisfies it. This reference is the class that
does, plus the verified behaviour of each platform tested so far.

## The registry: platforms verified to publish

**This table is the asset. Start here, publish first, hunt second.** Every row
was observed in a live DOM, not inferred. Re-verify before a campaign — these
services change silently — but do not re-discover them from scratch.

| Platform | Account? | Anchor | `robots` | `rel` | How to publish |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| **telegra.ph** (`graph.org` mirror) | none | yes | `index, follow` | **body `nofollow`; byline dofollow** | Pure HTTP API, no browser. `createAccount` → `createPage`, **POST not GET** |
| **write.as** | none | yes | none present → indexable | nofollow | Browser, plain textarea |
| **rentry.co** | none | yes | **`noindex`** | dofollow | Browser, CodeMirror `.setValue()` |
| **Atabook-powered guestbooks** (one engine, many host sites) | none | yes | **per board** — several verified with no robots meta at all (indexable); others `noindex, nofollow` | `noopener noreferrer ugc` | Browser required (Turnstile). Put the link in the message body as `[URL=…]text[/URL]` — no need to drive the editor |
| **Self-hosted blog comment forms** (plain anti-spam plugin, no hosted-platform widget) | none | yes | varies by host | `nofollow ugc` | Browser. Expect moderation — see field-notes |

**All three are publish targets. There is no shortlist here — use every row.**
Notes below are for the ledger, not for choosing between them.

telegra.ph is the cheapest by far because its pages are indexable and it needs
no browser at all, but be exact about what it gives you — every in-body anchor is `nofollow`, and the single dofollow link per
page is the **byline**, built from the `author_url` you pass at publish time.
Point `author_url` at the URL you actually want that dofollow to reach.
write.as is a real indexable mention; rentry.co's `noindex` cancels most of its
ranking value.

> **This row was wrong for a while, and the way it was wrong is the lesson.**
> It read "dofollow" because a verification sampled *one* anchor — the byline —
> and generalised. A later check of every anchor across six pages on both hosts
> showed body links carrying `rel="nofollow"` throughout. See "Read `rel` from
> every anchor" below.

Everything else tested to date **failed** a gate — the per-platform detail is in
"Verified platform notes" further down, and the failures are worth reading
before you re-test one of them.

### Reject by family, not by instance

Four whole classes are settled. Testing another member of any of them is wasted
time — a campaign that tested 20 candidates and published **zero** spent most of
its effort re-discovering these.

- **Etherpad and its mirrors** — the pad page ships
  `<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow">`. Verified on three
  independent instances including one run by a major foundation, so this is the
  upstream default template, not one operator's policy. **Test the pad URL
  (`/p/<name>`), not the homepage** — the homepage carries no robots tag at all,
  so checking it produces a false pass.
- **Encrypted paste tools** (PrivateBin, ZeroBin, 0bin and relatives) — rejected
  by *architecture*, not policy: the decryption key lives in the URL fragment and
  never reaches the server, so no crawler can read the content no matter what
  `rel` or `robots` say. Skip the entire class.
- **Code-paste engines** (pastebin.com, dpaste.com, ideone.com, distro-run
  pastebins) — the paste body renders inside `<pre>` with syntax highlighting
  and URLs are **not** auto-linked. Gate 1, every time. They are also a poor
  content fit: prose in a code box looks like what it is.
- **Demo instances of self-hosted software** — `noindex` and/or scheduled
  wipes. Already noted below; it keeps recurring, so treat "demo." in the
  hostname as a rejection on sight.
- **The large hosted wiki farm** — every member serves a bot-check interstitial
  before any content renders. Confirmed on two independent wikis, so it is
  platform-wide; do not retest individual members.
- **Guestbook engines that mint a short-lived anti-spam token** — one widely
  embedded engine rejects the POST with a control-value error after a
  multi-step scripted session, whether fields are set through native setters or
  real click-and-type events. The token expires faster than a stepwise session
  completes. It is an informal CAPTCHA; treat the engine as closed unless
  fill-and-submit can be done in one fast pass.
- **Wikis in general, for anonymous edits** — the well-known trope wiki, the
  wiki-farm sites, and most hosted wiki software now require an account for all
  edits. Anonymous IP editing is largely extinct on anything with traffic; do
  not budget a campaign around it.
- **Vendor demo boxes** (shoutbox/tagboard products) — the only postable
  instance is on the vendor's own marketing page, which carries no third-party
  value. Find real embeds on real sites or skip the class.

- **[2026-08] Back Button Hijacking** — Google's April 2026 spam policy
  (enforcement began 2026-06-15) makes the site owner liable for third-party
  scripts that hijack browser back-button navigation — trapping the visitor on
  the site, or redirecting "back" into another page instead of the actual
  previous page. A platform doing this, even through a third-party ad or widget
  script, is penalized or at meaningful risk of being penalized. That makes it a
  poor link target independent of any `rel`/`robots` reading: a page that gets
  hit by this policy can lose its indexing entirely, taking the link with it.
  Screen the same cheap way as the other family rejections above — before writing
  any content, exercise the back button on the target page (or check for
  `history.pushState` abuse / `beforeunload` redirects in its script) and treat a
  hijack as a rejection on sight, same tier as `noindex` demo instances.

### Guestbooks are the most productive class currently known

The classic `/guestbook` page still exists in quantity on personal sites, fan
pages and small-business sites, and it is the one class where "no account, no
CAPTCHA, posts immediately" is still normal. Two things make it worth working
in bulk rather than one at a time:

- **One engine covers many hosts.** Identify the engine once, and every site
  running it behaves identically — the same editor, the same link handling. A
  single verified engine is worth more than ten individually verified pages.
- **They cross-link.** Guestbook entries typically render a "site" link for each
  visitor, so an active guestbook is itself a directory of other guestbook
  owners. Discovery compounds; also check the host platform's tag or category
  browse pages.

**The engine decides how to post; the board owner decides whether you can.**
This qualifier matters more than it sounds, because it is tempting to verify one
board and treat the whole engine as settled. On the engine measured here, each
owner independently controls:

- **An anti-bot question** (`question-<id>` field). It is posed to humans, so
  skip those boards rather than answering. On a larger sample this turned out
  to be the *majority* configuration, not an exception: **14 of 30 boards had
  one**. Budget campaign volume off the post-screen count, not the discovery
  count — the realistic conversion from "boards found" to "boards postable" was
  about **45%** once `noindex` and form-less boards were also removed.
- **The `robots` tag.** Several boards carry no robots meta at all and are
  therefore indexable; another on the same engine served `noindex, nofollow`.
  A single-board sample produced exactly the wrong generalisation here.

So probe per board and branch on the result; only the *mechanics* generalise.

Mechanics worth knowing for this class:

- The link goes in the **message body as BBCode** (`[URL=…]text[/URL]`), which
  the server renders into a real anchor. You do not need to drive the rich-text
  editor's Link button — writing the BBCode straight into the textarea produces
  identical output.
- **A hidden field with a name like a password, `tabindex="-1"` and autocomplete
  off is a honeypot.** Never fill it.
- **The bot check is instantiated on submit, not on load.** Before you click,
  there is no challenge widget, no iframe, and no response field anywhere in the
  DOM. Code that waits for a token *before* submitting therefore times out every
  time and reports "blocked" — when in fact nothing was ever asked. Click
  submit first, then observe what appears. If an interactive challenge shows up,
  stop and record a rejection; a passive check that clears itself in an ordinary
  browser needs no action.
- A plain HTTP POST to these forms returns **200 and silently does nothing** —
  no error, page renders normally, nothing saved. Anything gated by a passive
  bot check must go through a real browser, and the verification step is what
  catches this, not the response code.
- **Rate limiting is per address across the whole engine, not per board.** The
  engine measured here starts refusing at roughly the eighth or ninth post in a
  sitting (`Too many posts from your address. Try again in a few hours.`), and
  every remaining target in that batch then fails. Failure is silent in the same
  way as above: no redirect, no HTTP error, just an inline `⚠ Error …` banner
  above the form. **Read that banner after every submit** — without it, being
  throttled and genuinely being rejected look identical in the results, and you
  will burn a retry pass on something retrying cannot fix.

  The general rule this is an instance of: **when the back half of a batch fails
  and the front half succeeded, suspect a rate limit before suspecting the
  script.** Stop the run on the first throttle rather than converting the rest
  of the queue into failures, and make the campaign file resumable so the
  remainder posts after the window.

Two cautions learned the hard way:

- **Hand-built guestbooks frequently do not auto-link.** A post can succeed,
  be publicly visible, and still put your URL in a plain text node. Check the
  rendered DOM of your own entry, not merely that the submission "worked."
- **Read the existing entries before posting.** One widely embedded comment
  widget was technically open and capable of a followed link, and the instance
  that was sampled had a live stream saturated with illegal and link-farm spam.
  That is a safety rejection independent of any SEO consideration, and it is
  only visible if you look at the neighbourhood.

  **But reject the instance, not the widget.** That finding was recorded as a
  blanket rejection of the whole product, and re-checking later showed other
  embeddings of the same widget carrying ordinary human conversation with zero
  spam — because these widgets give the embedding site's owner moderation
  controls. This is the *second* time a single sample produced exactly the wrong
  generalisation here (the first was inferring one guestbook engine's `robots`
  behaviour from one board).

  So state the rule in its general form: **the engine decides how you post; the
  site owner decides whether the result is worth anything.** `robots`,
  anti-bot questions, moderation, and spam saturation are all owner-level, and
  every one of them has to be checked per host. Only the posting *mechanics*
  generalise across an engine.

  One practical note when checking: these widgets render their comment stream
  client-side, so a plain HTTP fetch shows a near-empty page and finds no spam.
  That is a false clear, not a clean neighbourhood — look in a browser.

### Domain-report generators: a page per domain, no account, no content

A separate family worth probing early, because the cost per link is close to
zero: sites that **generate a report page for any domain you put in the URL** —
traffic estimators, worth-of-web calculators, whois and DNS lookups, security
and tech-stack scanners. Visiting `<site>/<your-domain>` is the entire
submission process. No registration, no form, nothing to write.

The yield is much lower than the mechanism suggests, so screen on three
independent conditions and treat any one failure as disqualifying:

1. **A real `<a>` is rendered back to the domain.** Many of these print the
   domain as plain text, or link it only inside a `<script>` payload.
2. **The `rel` on that anchor**, recorded as observed. `nofollow` still counts
   as a link; a claim of `dofollow` you did not read from the DOM does not.
3. **The report page itself is indexable.** This is the one that eliminates
   most of them — a large share of this family serves `noindex` sitewide. The
   page exists, links to you, and will never enter an index. Checking only that
   the URL loads will pass a pile of pages worth nothing.

Of roughly three dozen probed in one sweep, **three** cleared all three gates.

**Probe this family in a browser, not with a plain fetch.** A plain HTTP sweep
produces heavy false negatives here: many are client-rendered, so the anchor is
absent from the raw HTML, and others answer a scripted request with 403 while
serving the page normally to a browser. One site returned 403 to `curl` and, in
a browser, a plainly followed link. Use HTTP only to cheaply reject, never to
confirm absence.

### When the directory ecosystem has monetized, find out before you sweep it

Directory and launch-board lists circulate widely, and it is easy to spend a
campaign discovering that none of them are open. Before working a list of tens
or hundreds of directories, spend one cheap HTTP pass per domain that looks for
a submit page and flags two things visible in the HTML: **a login wall** and
**a price**. Both disqualify without a browser ever opening.

One sweep of ~80 curated launch directories produced **zero** free self-serve
submissions: every one either required an account or charged (observed prices
ranged from about $10 to £49 per listing, several stating openly that the fee
exists to deter spam). Treat that as the current default for this genre rather
than an unlucky list, and put the effort into channels that are open by
construction.

### Read a fast-rising competitor's profile before copying it

When a peer site goes from nothing to substantial traffic in a few months, the
useful question is not "which directories should I submit to" but "where did its
links actually come from" — and the answer is often one you should decline.

The tell is **concentration**: pull the profile sorted by first-seen ascending
and look at how many referring *domains* the early links come from. A site whose
first few hundred links come from two or three domains did not earn them.
Following that up on the referring site's own pricing page is usually a
one-click confirmation — these operations advertise the count directly ("N
dofollow backlinks from M premium domains" for a fixed one-time fee).

Two things follow that are worth keeping separate:

- **The link-count inflation is locale duplication, not repeat submission.** One
  paid listing renders once per interface language, and often across two domains
  run by the same operator, so a single submission shows up as dozens of links
  with identical anchors. A "148 links from one domain" burst is one placement,
  not a campaign. The same arithmetic applies to *legitimate* i18n directories,
  which is the useful half of this observation: **an open channel that ships
  many locales amplifies one successful placement many times over**, so prefer
  those when choosing among comparable open channels.
- **Report the price, decline the purchase.** Paid link schemes are excluded by
  this Skill's rules and carry an obvious footprint (a two-domain source
  accounting for nearly the whole profile). Tell the owner what the going rate
  is and let them decide; do not buy, and do not quietly reframe a paid network
  as a "directory submission".

### Liveness first: this genre dies faster than it changes

Anonymous paste hosts attract the worst abuse on the internet, and operators
increasingly respond by **shutting down rather than moderating**. Two candidates
that were plausible on paper were found fully offline — one after a CSAM
incident, one disabled by its registrar over malware hosting.

Equally, several platforms famous for open anonymous access have quietly closed
it: anonymous gist creation was removed, one wiki farm now gates both creation
and editing behind an account, a landmark early wiki has been frozen for over a
decade, and a well-known code playground offers no anonymous save. **The "the old
internet was more open" instinct is stale.** Check liveness and current
anonymous-access status before anything else; it is the cheapest gate of all.

### Maintenance obligation

This registry only stays valuable if every campaign feeds it. After any
publishing round, **before reporting results**:

1. **Add every newly verified platform as a row here**, with all five columns
   filled from live observation. A platform tested and rejected goes into the
   rejection list below with the gate it failed — a rejection you can cite is
   worth almost as much as a success, because it stops the next campaign from
   re-testing it.
2. **Correct rows that turned out wrong.** Revise the row; never leave two
   conflicting claims side by side.
3. **Keep the published URLs out of this file.** Those are per-site records and
   belong in that project's ledger. What generalises is the *channel*, not the
   page you put on it.

## The rule that finds them

Before hunting, ask one question about a candidate site:

> **Does this site need to manage what I post over time?**

- **Yes** — directories, launch boards, review sites, profile/portfolio hosts.
  They own a listing that gets edited, renewed, moderated, ranked. An account is
  the product logic, not an accident. Expect a login wall every time.
- **No** — paste hosts, note hosts, anonymous blogging endpoints. The page is
  write-once. There is no reason to make you register, so most of them don't.

Campaigns that fail to find "no-registration" targets are usually searching the
first category. Search the second.

## Default policy: if it publishes, publish to it

**Publish to everything that will accept a page. Do not filter by `rel`, by
`robots`, by the host's topic, or by how good the platform looks.** Record what
you observe; never let the observation stop a publish.

The reasoning is about which error is expensive. A site with no traffic loses
nothing by holding a `nofollow` link on an unrelated blog, and gains an audit
trail plus the occasional referral. What it cannot afford is a campaign that
spends its whole budget grading candidates and publishes to three of them.
**Selectivity is a luxury of sites that already rank.** Early on, coverage beats
quality-per-link, and the only real constraints are the four hard fails below —
each of which means there is no link at all, not a weak one.

Two consequences worth stating, because they cut against the instinct:

- **Topic fit does not gate publishing.** The host does not need to be a tool
  site, a tech site, or related to the subject in any way. Personal blogs, hobby
  pages, guestbooks on a fan site — all fine.
- **Ugly platforms still count.** Low traffic, dated design, and an obscure
  domain are not rejection reasons. Only genuine spam neighbourhoods and
  malware/adult surfaces are, and those are covered by the safety policy.

Quality still governs **what you write** — one real, self-contained page per
host, never the same body twice. That is a content rule, not a targeting rule,
and it exists because near-duplicate pages get purged in waves.

## What actually matters, in order

Two of these gates are hard fails and three are recorded but never block.
Keeping them separate matters, because collapsing them throws away usable
targets.

**Hard fail — the link does not exist or does not reach you:**
gate 0 (page expires), gate 1 (no anchor rendered), gate 2 (not publicly
readable), and link rewriting (a monetised redirect points at the redirector,
not at you). Nothing recovers these.

**Recorded, never a reason to skip:** gate 3 (`robots`) and gate 4 (`rel`).
Log what you see and publish regardless. The distinction below is for reading
the ledger afterwards, not for deciding where to post.

- **`nofollow`.** Since 2019 the major engine treats it as a hint rather than a
  directive, and it still carries referral traffic and profile diversity. A
  practitioner rule of thumb worth respecting: if it is a real link on a real
  page, it counts.
- **`noindex` is not the same thing, and is a bigger discount.** `nofollow`
  weakens what one link passes; `noindex` keeps the *hosting page* out of the
  index entirely, so there is far less for a crawler to attribute. A bare
  `noindex` still defaults to `follow`, so the link remains crawlable. Note it
  in the ledger; still publish.

Check the gates in the order below: they fail in that order of frequency, and
gate 0 is readable before you write a single word of content, so checking it
first throws dead candidates out in under a minute each.

0. **Does the page persist?** Several paste hosts cap free retention at days or
   weeks and sell permanence as the paid tier. An expiring page is not a
   backlink, and the expiry is usually stated on the compose screen next to the
   textarea where it is easy to skim past.
1. **Does the published page render an `<a>` at all?** Several note/paste hosts
   emit your URL as plain text. That is a brand mention, not a backlink. Check
   `document.querySelectorAll('a')` on the *published* page, not the editor.
2. **Is the page publicly readable from a different session?** At least one host
   saves guest content successfully and then renders nothing at all for anonymous
   visitors, so the page exists and contains no link.
3. **What does `<meta name="robots">` say on the published page?** This is the
   gate that gets skipped, and skipping it invalidates the whole exercise: a
   **`noindex`** page does not enter the index, so a dofollow link sitting on it
   is worth approximately nothing. Read it before celebrating a `rel`.
4. **What is the observed `rel`?** Read it off the live DOM. Never infer it from
   the platform's reputation. Some are dofollow, some are nofollow, and the same
   platform can differ between its markdown view and its HTML view.

A platform that renders anchors, is public, is indexable, **and** is dofollow is
rare. Most anonymous-publish hosts fail gate 1 or gate 3, and both failures look
like success if you only check `rel`.

Report both numbers: how many pages published, and the observed `rel`/`robots`
distribution across them. Publishing is the target; the distribution is the
audit trail. Reporting only "published successfully" hides whether the links
exist at all — that is what gates 0-2 are for — while reporting only dofollow
counts understates work that was correctly done.

## Verified platform notes

Behaviour observed directly; re-verify before relying on it, since these
services change silently.

### Fully scriptable, no browser required

- **telegra.ph** — **the only platform tested so far that clears all four gates:
  anchors rendered, public, `meta robots: index, follow`, and `rel` empty
  (dofollow).** Public HTTP API, no signup, no email, no CAPTCHA.
  `GET /createAccount?short_name=…&author_name=…&author_url=…` returns an
  `access_token`; `GET /createPage?access_token=…&title=…&content=<JSON>` publishes.
  `content` is a JSON array of node objects (`{"tag":"p","children":[…]}`), and
  anchors are `{"tag":"a","attrs":{"href":"…"},"children":["anchor text"]}`.
  **Send `createPage` as a POST.** The documented examples use a query string,
  which works for short parameters and then fails once `content` holds a real
  article: the server answers with an HTML error page, so the client reports
  `Unexpected token '<' … is not valid JSON` and the URI-too-long cause stays
  invisible. Any API client here should print the HTTP status and a slice of the
  body on a parse failure, or this costs a debugging round every time.
  The token is anonymous and disposable but is still a credential — keep it out
  of the repo and out of logs.
  **`graph.org` serves the same pages** and is a useful fallback when the primary
  domain is unreachable from your network.

### Browser required, worth the trouble

- **rentry.co** — markdown, custom URL slug, returns an edit code on publish.
  Anchors observed **dofollow**, but the published page carries
  **`meta robots: noindex`**, which cancels most of that value. Useful as a
  stable, editable, human-shareable reference page; do not count it as a ranking
  backlink. **This platform is the reason gate 3 exists in the list above** — it
  was briefly recorded as the best find of a campaign on the strength of its
  `rel` alone, before anyone read its `robots` tag.
  **Trap:** the visible editor is **CodeMirror**; the real `textarea` is
  `display:none`. Setting `.value` on the hidden textarea appears to work — you
  can read the value back — but CodeMirror overwrites it with its own empty
  buffer on submit, and the form returns a bare "This field is required" that
  reads like a *different* missing field. Set content through the editor
  instance instead:
  ```js
  document.querySelector('.CodeMirror').CodeMirror.setValue(markdown)
  ```
  The hidden textarea then syncs by itself.

- **write.as** — anonymous publishing works with no account. Anchors observed
  **nofollow**, so treat it as a mention channel.

### Publishes but produces no link

- **txt.fyi**, **notes.io** — both publish anonymously and both render your URL
  as plain text with no `<a>`. Brand mention only.
- **anotepad.com** — guest note saves and returns a URL, but the public page
  renders none of the content for anonymous visitors. Zero value; do not count it.

### Blocked

- **justpaste.it** — content can be set through the tinyMCE instance
  (`tinymce.activeEditor.setContent(html)`), but the Publish button raises an
  image-selection anti-robot test. Out of scope.
- **controlc.com** — CAPTCHA on the landing page.

### Rejected on a cheap gate, before writing any content

Each of these cost well under a minute because gate 0 or gate 3 is visible on
arrival. This is the payoff for checking the cheap gates first.

- **hackmd.io** — anonymous note creation genuinely works, and then the note
  carries `robots: noindex, nofollow`. Both gates fail at once.
- **ctxt.io** — free retention tops out at 30 days, permanence is the paid tier.
  Gate 0.
- **A public demo instance of a self-hosted editor** — `noindex` *and* documented
  daily deletion of all content. Demo instances of anything are a dead end for
  this purpose; look for a production deployment or skip the software entirely.
- **techplanet.today** — open-publishing article site, but every outbound link in
  the post body is `nofollow`.
- **A large anonymous social network with open posting** — outbound links all
  `nofollow`, and the visible post neighbourhood was wall-to-wall APK and game
  spam. Even had it been dofollow, that neighbourhood is a reason to decline.
- **pastelink.net** — advertises "no login required", but the product is
  automatic link monetisation, meaning outbound links are rewritten into a
  redirect. **A rewritten link is not a link to you.** The example paste linked
  from its own homepage also resolved to an "Illegal Content" takedown notice.
- **A microblog platform with a public feed** — reads as anonymous, but posting
  is gated behind Join.
- **txti.es** — retired; the site says so on its homepage.
- **A plain shared-textarea notepad** — `noindex, nofollow` site-wide, and the
  content is a raw textarea value rather than rendered prose.
- **A hosted paste service behind a consultancy's domain** — saving raises a
  blocking full-site Terms & Conditions modal that a human must accept. Out of
  scope to click on someone's behalf; and its paste rendering would have failed
  gate 1 anyway.

Whole families rejected in one go — Etherpad mirrors, encrypted pastes, code-paste
engines, demo instances — are covered under "Reject by family" above rather than
listed instance by instance.

### The listicles are not a shortcut

"10 alternatives to X for anonymous posting" articles are, as of testing,
AI-generated and materially wrong: entries repeat one boilerplate sentence
verbatim, mobile-only messaging apps get listed as web publishers, and platforms
that plainly require registration are described as not requiring it. Treat these
articles as a source of *names to test*, never as findings. Every claim about a
platform in this file was observed in a live DOM.

Budget accordingly, and budget pessimistically. Across everything tested to
date the rate is **worse than one in fifteen**: a later campaign tested twenty
fresh candidates and published **zero**. Assume a sweep produces nothing, and
treat the three registry rows as the durable asset rather than expecting the
list to keep growing.

The corollary is that **a well-documented rejection is close to as valuable as a
success** — it is what stops the next campaign paying the same cost. Record the
gate each candidate failed, and promote it to a family-level rule the moment two
members of a class fail the same way.

## Editor APIs beat native setters

The React native-setter trick in `field-notes.md` is necessary but not
sufficient. Rich editors keep their own buffer and serialise it over your value
at submit time. Detect the editor first, then use its API:

| Editor | Detect | Set |
|---|---|---|
| CodeMirror 5 | `.CodeMirror` element with `.CodeMirror` property | `el.CodeMirror.setValue(v)` |
| tinyMCE | `window.tinymce?.activeEditor` | `tinymce.activeEditor.setContent(html)` |
| Plain / React | neither of the above | native `value` setter + `input`/`change` |

The failure signature is identical in every case — the field reads back correct,
then submits empty — so check for an editor **before** debugging the form.

## Content standard

These pages are trivially cheap to create, which is exactly why they get purged
in waves. What survives a purge is what a human would plausibly have written.

Write a real, self-contained technical explanation per page, each one different
from the others, and **state the limitations of the thing you are linking to**.
Keyword-stuffed near-duplicates are the first thing removed, and posting the
same body across ten hosts creates a duplicate-content footprint that is easy to
detect and easy to discount.

One genuinely useful page carrying three contextual links beats ten thin ones.

**[2026-08] This standard is now algorithmically enforced, not just a purge
survival tactic.** The March 2026 Core Update re-weighted the Information Gain
signal: pages that carry original data, first-hand experience, or genuine
expertise are rewarded relative to pages that just restate what is already
online. That is the same "real, self-contained" bar stated above — it now also
affects whether the page itself ranks and gets crawled again, on top of whether
it survives a manual purge.

## Which browser to drive

When both an owner-Chrome connector and an isolated built-in browser are
available, split the work rather than picking one:

- **Owner's Chrome** — only for surfaces that need their logged-in session
  (analytics dashboards, paid SEO tools). Nothing else belongs there.
- **Built-in browser** — publishing and verification. These targets are
  anonymous by definition, so the logged-in session buys nothing, and keeping
  them off the owner's Chrome avoids three real costs: competing for the same
  tab as a long-running dashboard scrape, stealing focus while they work, and
  an extra layer of shell escaping on every DOM read.

Reliability differs too: an API endpoint that intermittently dropped the
connection through the owner's Chrome went through first try on the built-in
browser. When a publish step fails with a transport error, retrying on the other
browser is a faster diagnostic than debugging the request.

State which browser is doing what before starting, so a failure is attributable.

## Read `rel` from every anchor, out of the raw HTML

Two sampling errors produce a confidently wrong registry, and both have happened:

1. **One page can carry several different `rel` values.** A byline or author
   link, an in-body link, and a footer link are generated by different code
   paths. Sampling one anchor and reporting "the platform is dofollow" is how a
   nofollow channel gets recorded as the best find of a campaign. **Enumerate
   every anchor pointing at your domain and report the distribution**, not a
   representative value.
2. **Read the server HTML, not only a rendered DOM.** Fetching the raw document
   and matching every `<a …>` whose `href` contains your domain is both cheaper
   and harder to fool than reading a live DOM through a browser, where it is easy
   to inspect a different element than you think you are.

Do this on at least two pages before writing a row into the registry. When a
platform has a public mirror domain, check both — matching results across hosts
rules out a per-host proxy or CDN rewriting the markup.

Corollary worth stating: when a subordinate report contradicts your own earlier
verification, **re-run the measurement rather than defending it**. The cost of
the re-check is a single HTTP request; the cost of a wrong registry row is every
campaign that follows.

## Verification when the host is unreachable

If the publishing domain is blocked on your network, a reader proxy
(`r.jina.ai/<url>`) confirms the page is public and contains the link, but
returns markdown and therefore **cannot** confirm `rel`. Record the page as
public and leave the `rel` state unverified rather than assuming. Generic CORS
proxies were unreliable for this in testing.

Checking whether the host's pages are *actually indexed* is a separate question
and often cannot be answered from a restricted network: one major engine's
regional endpoint silently mangled `site:` queries and returned results for an
unrelated domain, and another served a bot challenge. **A mangled `site:` query
returns confident nonsense rather than an error**, so verify the operator is
being honoured — search for something only the target domain could match —
before reading anything into the result. Failing that, report the page's own
`robots` directive as what it is (a claim of indexability) and leave actual
indexation unverified. It takes days to become true anyway.

## Reading a third-party "places to get a backlink" list

These lists circulate widely — tiered tables of 200-300 named platforms with DR,
a **Dofollow** column, and a Cost column. They are worth harvesting and worthless
to trust. One such list (270 entries, 13 tiers) was verified against reality in
2026-08; what came back is the general shape to expect.

**The Dofollow column is an assertion about the platform, not an observation of a
link.** The list marked free press-release sites as dofollow. The one that was
actually sampled publishes the author's URLs as **plain text nodes and emits no
anchor at all** — see the `openpr` record in `data/free-channels.json`. A column
in someone's table is never evidence; only a rendered anchor on a live item is.

**Names, not URLs.** These lists overwhelmingly give a brand name with no domain.
Resolving 200 names to domains is most of the work, and a name that resolves to a
live site tells you nothing about whether the *original* site is still there.

**Expect the long tail to be resold, not merely stale.** In the 2026-08 sweep the
one domain that turned out to be dead was dead in the strongest sense: it answers
HTTP 200 and **redirects to an unrelated crypto product**. A status-code check
passes it. Only following the redirect, or reading the title, catches it.

### Normalise the list before you argue about it

`scripts/third-party-list-ingest.mjs` turns any Markdown list — pipe table,
bullets, whatever — into deduplicated rows keyed by registrable domain, diffs
them against files you already have, and marks rows whose own notes disqualify
them. It records nothing as verified: every row comes out `candidate` or
`excluded`, because a source's column is not an observation.

```bash
node scripts/third-party-list-ingest.mjs   --input THEIR-LIST.md   --known data/free-channels.json --known <project>/.rankup/backlink-targets.json   --blocklist data/network-fingerprints.json   --drop-pattern 'dead|shut ?down|停服|入口关闭'   --flag-pattern 'paid|reciprocal|收费|互链|已收录'   --new-only --out .backlink/leads.json
```

`--blocklist` preserves known automation/PBN-family matches as explicit excluded
rows. Do not drop them: a reusable negative registry prevents the same impressive
looking DR/DA list from being re-investigated or submitted to on the next site.

Run against the 743-entry `Free-backlink-list.md` from
[flaqai/backlink_skills](https://github.com/flaqai/backlink_skills) on 2026-08-19,
with one site's existing 65-row target file as the known set:

| | Rows |
| --- | ---: |
| Raw entries in the list | 743 |
| Unique registrable domains | 648 |
| Already in the local target file | 43 |
| Marked dead **by the list itself** | 69 |
| Flagged paid / reciprocal / already-listed / known-broken | 229 |
| New, unflagged, still unscreened | **343** |

Three things generalise. **A published count is a row count, not a domain
count** — 743 became 648, because these lists carry duplicates and multiple entry
paths into one site. **The list's own notes are the cheapest filter you will ever
get**: 69 + 229 rows disqualified themselves in free text that nobody had turned
into a field. And the survivors are still leads — 343 unscreened domains is a
starting point for the qualification loop, not 343 places to submit.

The same list is also where the six-field traffic rule in
[batch-campaign.md](batch-campaign.md#traffic-numbers-need-six-fields-or-they-are-not-numbers)
comes from: it originally carried undated per-site traffic figures, and its
maintainers deleted all of them after a recheck found 20–30% drift.

### A list labelled "no-login comment targets" is mostly not that

A 19-URL list handed over in 2026-08 as *免登录直接发评论* was measured URL by URL.
All 19 answered HTTP 200 with no redirects, which is exactly why status codes are
not a filter. What they actually were:

| What the row really was | Count |
| --- | --- |
| Open native WordPress comment form, no account | 7 |
| Directory / launch platform behind a login **and** a paid tier | 4 |
| Comment engine needing an account, or comments closed | 4 |
| Not a comment surface at all (nav-site submission box, TG resource index, tag page) | 3 |
| Paid guest-post marketplace | 1 |

Three things generalise from it:

- **Zero of the 19 needed a Google sign-in**, though the list was believed to
  contain some. The gate people remember as "needs Google login" is usually a
  site-native account form — `aifinderguru.com/submit` serves a plain
  `name="login"` + `name="password"` form, no OAuth anywhere. Check before
  arranging any authenticated session; the credential you were about to reach for
  may not be the one the site wants.
- **A "700+ high authority sites" marketplace was sitting in the list** as though
  it were a free comment target. Read every row's `<title>`: `shop.sparltech.com`
  announces itself as a Premium Guest Posting Marketplace. It is not a free
  channel, and it is not a paid-registry entry either until somebody is observed
  buying from it — the paid table records *observed usage*, so an entry with an
  empty `observedSites` is correctly rejected by `validate-data.mjs`.
- **The 7 usable forms were 7 unrelated blogs**: two recipe posts, a knee-anatomy
  article, a towel sourcing guide, a 2012 sociology post, an Italian celebrity
  health story, and a Ukrainian radiator piece. Topical fit is what decides
  whether a comment survives moderation, so a list like this converts into a
  handful of hand-written comments at most, not a batch job. This is where the
  Skill's "no irrelevant comments" rule does its real work: the list *looks* like
  20 placements and contains approximately zero that a moderator would keep.

### Mine a submission board's own comment store before searching for peers

The recursive-discovery loop in [discovery-loop.md](discovery-loop.md) starts from a
backlink tool. When the tool is unavailable — plan-blocked Ahrefs, unset Semrush
dashboard — there is a **free and much richer** starting point that was measured in
2026-08: a submission board's own comment backend.

The Chinese nav-site 投稿区 genre runs on Valine / Waline / Twikoo, all of which are
client-side widgets talking to a backend whose credentials are **embedded in the page
because every visitor's browser needs them**. Read them from the live page, then page
through the class over HTTP:

```js
// from the rendered page
window.AV.applicationId       // → X-LC-Id
window.AV.applicationKey      // → X-LC-Key
window.AV._config.serverURLs  // → API host
```

```bash
curl -s -G "$SERVER/1.1/classes/Comment" \
  --data-urlencode 'limit=1000' --data-urlencode 'skip=0' \
  --data-urlencode 'keys=nick,link,comment,createdAt' \
  --data-urlencode 'order=-createdAt' \
  -H "X-LC-Id: $ID" -H "X-LC-Key: $KEY"
```

One board yielded **5108 comments → 3387 unique submitter domains**, of which 1606 had
submitted within the year and 138 had submitted 8+ times. Those 138 are sites running
an active link campaign right now — a far better seed set than any guess, and it cost
six HTTP requests.

**Restrict `keys` to what you need and leave `mail` out.** The class holds commenter
email addresses; harvesting third-party emails is not part of link research, and a
`keys=` whitelist is the difference between reading a public comment stream and
collecting personal data.

Two things this seed set is good for: the submitters are peers to reverse-look-up, and
a subset of them are **themselves directory owners submitting their own directory** —
filter the comment bodies for a self-description (`导航站` / `目录站` / `工具箱` /
`收录\d+`) **together with** an application form (`申请收录` / `网站名称` / `网址：`).
Requiring both matters: matching the nav keyword alone returns mostly commenters
discussing the board, which looked like 82 candidates and was really 21.

### Two traps when qualifying the directories you find that way

**A SPA catch-all makes every path return 200.** Three of the candidates answered 200
with an identical byte count for `/submit`, `/apply`, `/contribute` **and** `/shoulu` —
a nonsense path invented as a control. There is no submit page; the router serves the
shell for everything. Always probe a path you know cannot exist, and compare response
sizes before believing a 200.

**Mirrors share one comment store, so one submission is not N placements.** The board
measured is served from three hostnames — a `.cn`, a `.link`, and a `netlify.app` —
whose `/tougao/` pages are byte-identical (9766 bytes) and whose `data.js` carries the
**same** LeanCloud `appId`. One comment therefore renders on all three. That may be
three referring domains or one, depending on what gets indexed, but it is definitely
**one action and one moderation decision**: do not queue the mirrors as separate
targets, and do not resubmit to them.

### What search-based reverse lookup actually returns

With no backlink tool, quoted-domain web search is the fallback. Expect a thin, weak
yield: 14 peers produced 8 candidate platforms, only one of which appeared for two
different peers. The dominant failure is **name collision** — 8 of the 14 peers were
small sites named after famous products (Seedance, Kimi, TRELLIS, Claude, OpenClaw),
so the results were coverage of the parent product, not pages linking to the clone.
Snippet-only evidence also cannot support any `rel` or acceptance claim.

Treat this as a way to generate leads, never as a substitute for a referring-domains
export. If the yield matters, unblocking a real backlink source is the cheaper move.

### The sitewide-advertiser false positive

On a UGC page, an outbound anchor with **no `rel`** looks exactly like a followable
author link, and it is the single easiest way to record a channel as usable when it
is not. The free-press-release site above carries several no-`rel` outbound anchors
— all of them the platform's own properties, a consent manager, and one advertiser.

**The test is cheap: open a second, unrelated item on the same platform.** Any
outbound domain that appears on both is furniture, not an author link. Only a
domain unique to one item can be that item's author link. Do this before recording
`anchorRendered: true` on any platform you have sampled exactly once.

### What the tiers are actually made of

Two structural facts decide how much of such a list you can act on at all:

- **The profile/content-platform tier is a registration tier.** Of 20 sampled,
  17 required a free account before publishing anything. Account creation is not
  an agent action — that tier converts into an owner to-do list, not work you can
  schedule. Budget it as human hours, not as automation.
- **Roughly a quarter of any such list will refuse plain HTTP** (403 or a reset).
  None of those are evidence of death. See the asymmetry rule below.

### Request headers are a bot fingerprint, not just a User-Agent

A browser-shaped `User-Agent` alone still gets refused. Adding the two headers a
real browser always sends —

```
accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8
accept-language: en-US,en;q=0.9
```

— converted several hard connection failures into clean 200s in the same sweep,
with no other change. A request carrying a Chrome UA and no `Accept` header is a
recognisable non-browser signature.

This matters beyond politeness: without those headers the sweep produced a list of
"dead" sites that were merely defended, and acting on it would have discarded live
channels. Set them on every probe, then treat a remaining 403 as **unknown** —
still never as dead.

## 第一轮筛选（2026-08-19）：43 个 AI 目录，零个能免登录发出去

来源是 columbus.tools 外链榜前 100 去掉已收录与垃圾后的 43 个域名。
按哥飞的两轮法，第一轮的意义就是把这批筛成一张「下次只打这些」的表——
结果这一轮的答案是：**这 43 个里没有一个能在不越过硬规则的前提下发出去。**
这本身就是结论，不是失败。

### 先用控制路径把假 `/submit` 剔掉

对每个域名探 `/submit`、`/submit-tool`、`/add-tool`、`/new`、`/post`，
**同时探一个现编的 `/zzz-control-<随机数>`**。六个域名对控制路径同样返回 200：

`sergechel.info`、`vuink.com`、`topaihubs.com`、`l.dang.ai`、
`techbasedirectory.com`、`toolspedia.io`

它们是 catch-all 软 404，`/submit` 返回 200 什么都不说明。
**没有控制路径这一步，这六个会被当成六个可投目标带进下一轮。**

### 剩下的按拦路原因分类

| 拦路的东西 | 域名 |
|---|---|
| CAPTCHA（硬规则，不绕） | `oppalerts.com`、`poweredbyai.app`、`anyfp.com`、`navtools.ai`、`topaitoolsreview.com`、`peerpush.net`、`techbullion.com` |
| 必须注册账号（硬规则，不代做） | `best-ai.org` / `best-ai-tools.org`、`aidive.org`、`sharefast.co`、`aicavo.com` |
| 要求先在我们首页挂反链，系统自动检测 | `seektool.ai` |
| 付费 | `thataicollection.com`、`www.toolbit.ai`、`vibe-coding.cloud` |
| 静态页 0 字节 / 无表单 | `www.ilovefree.com` |

### `best-ai.org` 值得单独记：免费的宣传是真的，门槛在后面

页面写着「Free Submission」「✓ 100% Free • No Credit Card Required」，
表单只要一个 URL，无 CAPTCHA，填完 `Continue` 也确实被接受了——
然后跳到 `/login?redirect=/submit-tool?toolUrl=...&start=1`。
**免费 ≠ 免注册。** 判定必须走到跳转之后，停在「表单接受了」就会误报成可投。

### 两个可复用的浏览器陷阱

- **遮罩吃点击**。同意条点了「Only essential」之后，页面上看不到弹窗了，
  但 `div.fixed.inset-0.z-50.bg-black/80` 还在，之后每一次 `click` 都落在遮罩上，
  返回 `clicked: true` 却毫无反应。诊断一行就够：

  ```js
  const r=btn.getBoundingClientRect();
  document.elementFromPoint(r.left+r.width/2, r.top+r.height/2) === btn
  ```

  为 false 就是被盖住了。**`clicked:true` 不等于点到了那个按钮。**
  （本次的真实成因是：我按文本去点「Only essential」时爬错了祖先层级，
  点开的是 Settings，打开了 Cookie 偏好中心。弹窗里还有一个同名按钮，
  点那个才真正关掉。）

- **受控输入的假成功**。`opencli fill` 会返回 `filled:true, verified:true`，
  但 React 的 state 没更新，回车和提交都无反应。要用原生 setter 派发事件：

  ```js
  const set=Object.getOwnPropertyDescriptor(HTMLInputElement.prototype,'value').set;
  set.call(input, value);
  input.dispatchEvent(new Event('input',{bubbles:true}));
  ```

  **判定提交是否真的发生，看 network 里有没有请求，不看按钮的返回值。**
  本次 `Continue` 点了三次、`Enter` 按了一次，network 捕获到的请求数是 0。

## 第三个池子（2026-08-19）：换到「免注册目录」这一类，卡在人机校验

第一轮把 columbus 那 43 个 AI 目录探完之后换池子，来源是搜索「免注册/免费收录」
类的目录清单。控制路径先剔掉 `aitoolsdirectory.com`（`/zzz-control-9182` 同样 200）。

剩下两个**表单完整、无第三方 CAPTCHA 服务、不需要账号**的：

| 目标 | 表单 | 拦路 |
|---|---|---|
| `thenextai.com/submit-ai-tool/` | 10 个字段全可填 + 一个蜜罐 `website_confirm` | `#captchaInput`，页面上是 **「Quick check: 4 + 7 =」** 的算术题 |
| `aig123.com/site-submit` | 中文导航站，名称/链接/简介/介绍/分类/标签/昵称/联系方式 | `<input captcha-type="slider">`，滑块验证 |

**两者都属于「不得完成人机验证」那条硬规则**，所以停在填完不提交。
算术题看起来无害，但它和滑块是同一类东西——都是 bot 检测，规则不按难度区分。

### 可复用的结论：把「有没有人机校验」的判定放到填表之前

这两个站的静态 HTML 里，`recaptcha|hcaptcha|turnstile` 三个词**一个都不出现**，
按常用指纹扫是干净的。真正的校验一个藏在 `id="captchaInput"` 的数字输入框里，
另一个藏在 `<input captcha-type="slider" name="captcha_type">` 里。

所以探测词表要加上：

```
captchaInput | captcha-type | captcha_type | 验证码 | 人机 | quick check | slider
```

并且**要在实时 DOM 上查，不能只查首屏 HTML**——`thenextai` 那个数字框在静态
HTML 里存在但游离于 `<form>` 之外（`el.form` 为 null、父元素无文案），
只有在渲染后的页面上才看得到它旁边那句「Quick check: 4 + 7 =」。

### 填表本身的两个可复用件

- 字段可能只有 `id` 没有 `name`。`thenextai` 全部 12 个控件 `name` 都是空串，
  `document.querySelector('[name="f-name"]')` 返回 null。先 dump
  `{tag,id,name,type}` 再决定用哪个选择器。
- **蜜罐字段必须保持空**。`thenextai` 的 `website_confirm` 是可见性正常的文本框，
  按「把所有字段填满」的思路去填就会被判为机器人。凡是名字像
  `*_confirm` / `url2` / `website2` 而 label 为空的，一律不碰。

## 把最后一步交给人的时候，三条会咬人的规矩（2026-08-20 实测）

这个 Skill 会遇到大量「除了人机验证以外全部可以自动化」的目标。
标准做法是填满所有字段、留空验证格、交给站主点最后一下。这套流程本身没问题，
出问题的是它前后的三个动作：

1. **收尾不要 `opencli browser <session> close`。**
   `close` 释放的是**标签页本身**，不只是控制权。本轮填好两张表之后按惯例收了会话，
   站主打开浏览器发现空空如也——上一条「表单已经填好在标签页里」当场变成假话。
   凡是交接给人的会话，留着。

2. **人操作过之后，浏览器读数就不再是证据。**
   人提交完通常顺手关掉标签页，opencli 会把会话重新附到一个 `about:blank`。
   此时 `eval` 返回的是空白页的 DOM：`document.querySelectorAll('form').length === 0`、
   按钮全没了、字段全没了。这看起来非常像「表单提交成功、页面已跳转」，
   实际上什么都没证明。**先 `tab list` 看 URL 是不是还在目标站**，再谈读数。

3. **后台标签页截不出图。** 非活动标签页 Chrome 不绘制，`screenshot` 落地是一张
   **纯黑图**。要视觉确认必须先切前台。别把黑图当成页面崩了。

### 附带一条：算术验证码每次刷新都换题

`thenextai` 的 `Quick check` 第一次是 `4 + 7`，重新打开变成 `5 + 3`。

      # Known-forms recipes: skip the re-exploration, keep every guard

`inspect-page.mjs` exists because a submission form is unknown territory: the
AI reads a full field census and a screenshot and decides what each control
is. That decision costs tokens, and it is wasted work the second time the
**same** target is submitted to again — the field names on `playlin.io` do
not change between one project's submission and the next one's.

A **known-forms recipe** is that one-time decision, written down once by a
human (or an AI, reviewed by a human) after a real, successful walk of the
target — inspect-page.mjs's census, a field-mapping call, and a confirmed
submission outcome. `scripts/submit-known.mjs` reads it and drives the same
target for a new project without re-deriving the mapping.

**What a recipe is not**: a way to skip any runtime safety check. Every guard
inspect-page.mjs / safe-fill.mjs / release-submit-guard.mjs carry still runs,
on the live page, every single time:

- the page is re-scanned with the exact same census `inspect-page.mjs` uses
  (`scripts/lib-form-scan.mjs`, extracted 2026-09-12 so there is only one copy
  of that DOM walk) — a recipe never fills blind from a cached page shape;
- `safe-fill.mjs` still does the actual write, with its own live re-check of
  page identity, form identity, field identity, CAPTCHA, and login, exactly
  as it does for an AI-derived fingerprint. `submit-known.mjs` only changes
  *how the fingerprint is built* — from the recipe's field-map rules instead
  of from inspect-page's heuristic classifier — not what safe-fill.mjs does
  with it;
- `release-submit-guard.mjs` is still the only thing that lifts the guard,
  immediately before the real click;
- a form's own terms/consent checkbox is still never ticked on the driver's
  own initiative (submission-lanes.md's hard rule). `submit-known.mjs` always
  stops at `staged-terms` unless the caller passes `--confirm-terms` on that
  exact run;
- an `account`-cohort recipe still refuses to run at all without
  `--confirmed-login` on that exact run — scripting the field mapping away
  must not also script away the human "is this login still valid right now"
  decision.

So: **a recipe only ever removes the AI-reads-the-census-and-guesses step.**
Whether a submission cohort runs unattended or needs a human in the loop is
still governed by `references/submission-lanes.md`, unchanged.

## When a recipe is valid — and when it is not

A recipe is valid **only** for the exact field structure it was verified
against. If the target's markup changes — a renamed field, a restructured
form, a newly added required field, a CAPTCHA that did not used to be there —
`submit-known.mjs`'s own form-picker (`pickForm()`) will fail to resolve the
recipe's rules against the live census and the run stops with
`state: "recipe-stale"`, pointing back at `inspect-page.mjs`. It does not fall
back to guessing. When that happens: re-run `inspect-page.mjs` on the URL by
hand, re-derive the field mapping from the fresh census, and update the
recipe file — do not try to patch around a stale rule.

A recipe is therefore a bet that a specific, already-vetted target's HTML is
stable between runs, not a claim that it will stay that way forever.

## The recipe file: `scripts/known-forms/<domain>.json`

One file per domain. Fields:

| Field | Meaning |
|---|---|
| `domain` | must match the filename stem; `submit-known.mjs` checks this |
| `route` | the submission URL |
| `cohort` | `open` / `account` / … — same vocabulary as `scripts/lib-cohort.mjs`, for a human reading the file, not machine-enforced by itself (`requireConfirmedLogin` is what the driver actually checks) |
| `requireConfirmedLogin` | `true` for any account-gated target. Forces `--confirmed-login` |
| `sessionPrefix` | base for the derived OpenCLI session name (`<prefix>-<project>`) |
| `refreshParam` | optional query param (e.g. `"ref"`) the driver sets to `<project>` to force a fresh, uncached load — see `submission-lanes.md`'s one-session-per-staged-site note; this is the equivalent for a repeatable open-form target |
| `verifiedAt` / `verifiedBy` | when and how the recipe was worked out — provenance, not enforced |
| `notes` | free text: WHY the field mapping looks the way it does, any known runtime quirks, anything a future reader needs before trusting this file. **Do not skip this** — see the two shipped recipes for the level of detail expected |
| `fieldMap` | `{ url, name, email, description } → { match: { name?, id?, type?, tag? } }`. Each `match` is matched **exactly** (no regex) against one fieldCensus entry's real `name`/`id`/`type`/`tag` from a live scan. This is the one-time human decision the recipe exists to record |
| `payloadRequired` / `payloadOptional` | which of the four kinds must be present in the payload before the driver will run |
| `extraFields` | fields outside safe-fill.mjs's four kinds — currently `<select>` pickers (category, pricing, …). Each entry: `match` (same shape as fieldMap), `payloadKey` (which payload field supplies the value), `default` (used when the payload omits it) |
| `termsCheckbox` | optional. `match` for a consent/terms checkbox. If present, the driver always stages (never ticks it) unless `--confirm-terms` |
| `submit` | `match` for the real submit control |
| `retryClickIfNoChange` | `true` if this target's submit handler is known to sometimes not fire on the first click (AJAX timing quirks). The driver retries the same real click exactly once, only when this is set |
| `success` | `{ type: "navigation", urlIncludes, textIncludes }` for a target that redirects to a thank-you page, or `{ type: "inline-text", textIncludes }` for one that confirms in place (AJAX). This is deliberately **not** routed through `lib-submit-outcome.mjs`'s generic classifier — that classifier treats a form that stays present-but-empty as a negative signal, which is exactly the confirmed-positive shape on some AJAX targets (see the `projectpedia.net` recipe's notes for why). A recipe's success rule only has to be right for the one target it was verified against |

## Adding a recipe for a new target

1. Run the full manual flow once, for real, on the actual target:
   `inspect-page.mjs` → read the census by hand (or let the AI read it) →
   decide the field mapping → `safe-fill.mjs` → review → `release-submit-guard.mjs`
   → the real submit → confirm the outcome the way `directory-run-playbook.md`
   describes (own eyes on a thank-you page or the inline success text, not the
   driver's self-report).
2. From that same census, write down the **exact** `name`/`id`/`type` for
   each control you used — copy them from the `fieldCensus` array in the scan
   output, do not retype from memory. Watch for a field whose internal name
   lies about what it holds (see `projectpedia.net.json`'s notes: its
   `form_fields[email]` is actually the site-URL field).
3. Write `scripts/known-forms/<domain>.json` using the table above. Fill in
   `notes` with anything a future run needs to know that is not obvious from
   the field names alone.
4. Validate the recipe without creating a duplicate submission: run
   `node scripts/submit-known.mjs --domain <domain> --project <any-slug> --payload <payload.json> --dry-run`
   (add `--confirmed-login` for an account-cohort recipe). This runs the
   entire pipeline — scan, form-pick, safe-fill's live guard, extra fields,
   terms-checkbox detection — and stops immediately before the real click,
   without touching the ledger. Compare the evidence screenshot against what
   you expect filled where.
5. Once the recipe is trusted, real runs for new projects are just
   `node scripts/submit-known.mjs --domain <domain> --project <slug> --payload <payload.json> --submit`
   (plus `--confirmed-login` / `--confirm-terms` as the recipe requires).
6. If a later run reports `recipe-stale`, or an `outcome-unknown` that turns
   out to mean the site changed, fix the recipe file the same way
   `directory-run-playbook.md` §六 says to fix `data/submission-targets.json`
   on a mismatch — do not leave a recipe silently wrong for the next run.

## Shipped recipes (as of 2026-09-12)

- **`playlin.io.json`** — `cohort: open`. inspect-page.mjs's heuristic
  classifier marks this form `qualifies: false` (three name-like fields —
  `game_name` / `submitter_name` / `creator_name` — collide under its generic
  "name" pattern with no way to disambiguate). The recipe's exact-name
  `fieldMap` resolves it in one deterministic pass. Verified end-to-end
  through the `/submit/thank-you/` page with "SUBMISSION RECEIVED".
- **`projectpedia.net.json`** — `cohort: account`. A Fluent-Forms-style
  WordPress form whose internal field ids are opaque (`form_fields[email]` is
  actually the site-URL field; the real contact email is a differently-named
  field) and which carries a genuine terms/consent checkbox — this recipe
  will always stop at `staged-terms` without an explicit `--confirm-terms`.
  Verified end-to-end through the inline "Your submission was successful."
  confirmation while logged in; also carries the known first-click-sometimes-
  does-not-fire AJAX quirk via `retryClickIfNoChange`.

Both were re-validated with `--dry-run` on 2026-09-12 against the live pages
(without re-submitting) as part of building this mechanism — evidence
screenshots confirmed the field mapping still lands in the right inputs.

## 1. Individual Link Quality Score

Score each link across six factors, multiply by weight, then sum the weighted values for the final **Link Quality Score (LQS)**. Use scores 4 and 2 for cases between the table anchors.

| Factor | Weight | Score 5 | Score 3 | Score 1 | Guardrail |
|--------|--------|---------|---------|---------|-----------|
| Domain Authority | 25% | DR/DA 70+, established authority | DR/DA 30-49, credible niche site | DR/DA <15 or thin/abandoned | DR/DA is a proxy; relevance can beat raw authority. Check for inflated authority from bought links/PBNs. |
| Topical Relevance | 25% | Same niche and subtopic | Same broad field | Unrelated topic | Read the page, site focus, surrounding copy, and outbound-link pattern before scoring. |
| Linking Page Traffic | 15% | 9.9.9+ visits/mo | 100-999 visits/mo | <10 visits/mo | Real traffic suggests editorial value and referral upside. |
| Link Position | 15% | In-content editorial citation | Author bio/about section | Footer, sitewide, hidden, or template link | Editorial body links carry the most value. |
| Anchor Text | 10% | Descriptive, natural | Brand name | Generic | A single natural descriptive anchor can score high; a profile overloaded with exact-match anchors is risky. |
| Follow Status | 10% | Dofollow editorial | Sponsored/UGC disclosed | Nofollow | Nofollow is a hint, not zero value; high-authority nofollow links can still help brand/referral visibility. |

**Rating scale**

| LQS | Rating | Meaning |
|-----|--------|---------|
| 4.0-5.0 | Premium | High authority, relevant, editorial placement |
| 2.5-3.9 | Acceptable | Provides value and fits a healthy profile |
| 1.0-2.4 | Low quality | Minimal value; review for risk before acting |

**AI Citation Potential — a modifier, not a seventh weighted factor [2026-08]**

Do not fold this into the LQS formula or change the six weights above. Instead,
apply it as a qualitative adjustment after computing LQS: a link from a page
that carries genuinely new knowledge (first-hand data, original research, real
expertise) is worth more than its LQS alone suggests, because that page is more
likely to be cited in AI Overviews/AI Mode and more likely to rank well itself —
both of which increase what the link passes on. A link from a commodity summary
page (content that just restates what other pages already say) has lower
citation-transfer value even at the same DR/relevance/position score. When two
candidates tie on LQS, prefer the one whose linking page shows original data,
a first-hand review, or genuine subject-matter expertise.

**Healthy anchor/follow distribution**

| Signal | Healthy | Warning | Critical |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| Brand anchors | 30-40% | <15% | <5% |
| Naked URLs | 15-25% | <10% | <5% |
| Generic anchors | 10-20% | <5% | 0% |
| Descriptive/partial match | 15-25% | >35% | >50% |
| Exact match | 5-15% | 15-25% | >25% |
| Dofollow ratio | 60-80% | >90% | >95% |

## 2. Link Profile Calibration

Use these archetypes to interpret thresholds by site maturity.

| Profile | Healthy Signals | Risk Signals | Verdict |
|---------|-----------------|--------------|---------|
| Strong mid-size SaaS | 1,200 referring domains, 72% dofollow, avg DR 38, 35% brand anchors, 8% exact match, 3% toxic estimate | None material | Continue current strategy. |
| At-risk competitive niche | 800 referring domains, 92% dofollow, avg DR 18, 42% exact match, 30% topical relevance, 18% toxic estimate | Over-optimized anchors, low relevance, unnatural velocity | Review toxic links, diversify anchors, slow acquisition. |
| Healthy new site | 45 referring domains, 65% dofollow, avg DR 28, 40% brand anchors, 5% exact match, +8/month velocity | Low volume only | Do not judge by mature-site volume; scale carefully while preserving quality. |

## 3. Competitive Link Gap Analysis

| Step | Action | Output |
|------|--------|--------|
| 1 | Select 3-5 direct competitors ranking for target keywords | Competitor set |
| 2 | Export referring domains from ~~link database | Competitor link lists |
| 3 | Build an intersection matrix: domain, you, comp 1/2/3, overlap count | Shared opportunity map |
| 4 | Prioritize by overlap, DR, and topical relevance | Outreach priority list |
| 5 | Visit each high-priority linking page | Link context and outreach angle |
| 6 | Create outreach plan | Contact, angle, target asset, template |

**Opportunity priority**

| Priority | Criteria | Rationale |
|----------|----------|-----------|
| Highest | Links to 3+ competitors, DR 50+, relevant | Strong market signal and likely linkability |
| High | Links to 2+ competitors, DR 30+, relevant | Proven niche linker |
| Medium | Links to 1 competitor, DR 50+, relevant | High value but less proven access |
| Lower | DR <30, low relevance, or one-off competitor link | Diminishing return unless strategically useful |

## 4. Disavow File Safety Guide

Only disavow links when there is clear evidence of risk. Unnecessary disavow can hurt rankings.

| Situation | Disavow? | Reasoning |
|-----------|----------|-----------|
| Obvious PBN links | Yes | Clear manipulation signal |
| Paid links you cannot get removed | Yes | Only after attempting removal |
| Spam attack / negative SEO | Yes | Protect against third-party manipulation |
| Foreign-language spam | Yes | If clearly unnatural and irrelevant |
| Low-quality directory links | Maybe | Only if pattern is excessive |
| Low-DA sites with real content | No | Low quality is not automatically toxic |
| Nofollow links | No | Already nofollowed; usually no risk |

**Review workflow before upload**

| Step | Action | Required safeguard |
|------|--------|--------------------|
| 1 | Export full backlink profile | Keep raw export beside the audit |
| 2 | Filter known toxic patterns | Spam score, DR <10, foreign spam, PBN footprints |
| 3 | Manually review flagged domains | Visit each domain; do not rely only on metrics |
| 4 | Attempt removal first | Email webmasters where possible |
| 5 | Wait 2 weeks | Track outreach responses |
| 6 | Add only non-removed toxic links | Use comments and reasons |
| 7 | Upload to Google Search Console | Back up previous file first |
| 8 | Document all actions | Keep dates, reasons, and owner |
| 9 | Re-check in 4-6 weeks | Verify processing and recovery signals |

**File format**

```txt
# Disavow file for [domain]
# Generated: [date]
# Reason: [toxic link cleanup / negative SEO / paid links not removable]

# Individual URLs when only one page is toxic
https://spam-site.example/toxic-page

# Entire domains only when multiple pages are toxic
domain:pbn-network.example
domain:spam-directory.example
```

**Best practices**

| Practice | Why |
|----------|-----|
| Comment every entry or group | Future auditors need the reason |
| Use `domain:` for repeated toxic domains | Captures sitewide spam patterns |
| Use individual URLs for isolated pages | Avoids disavowing good links from the same domain |
| Never disavow your own domain | Severe self-inflicted damage |
| Keep changelog and backup | Enables rollback and accountability |
| Review quarterly | Remove entries if domains are cleaned up |

## 5. Link Profile Health Benchmarks

| Metric | Healthy | Warning | Critical |
|--------|---------|---------|----------|
| Toxic link estimate | <5% | 5-10% | >10% |
| Referring domain growth | Positive, steady | Flat | Declining |
| Average linking DR | 25+ | 15-25 | <15 |
| Link diversity (unique domains / total links) | >0.3 | 0.1-0.3 | <0.1 |
| Topical relevance sample | >60% | 40-60% | <40% |

Authority expectations vary by vertical:

| Industry | Typical DR Range (Top 10) | Typical Referring Domains | Link Difficulty |
|----------|---------------------------|---------------------------|-----------------|
| Finance / Insurance | 60-90 | 5,000-50,000+ | Very High |
| Health / Medical | 50-85 | 3,000-30,000+ | Very High |
| Technology / SaaS | 40-80 | 1,000-20,000+ | High |
| E-commerce | 35-75 | 500-15,000+ | High |
| Legal | 40-70 | 1,000-9.9.9+ | High |
| Education | 50-90 | 2,000-25,000+ | Medium-High |
| Local services | 15-45 | 50-500 | Medium |
| B2B niche | 25-60 | 200-5,000+ | Medium |
| New startup | 5-25 | 10-200 | Starting point |

Use industry ranges as context, not hard pass/fail rules. Keyword competition and topical relevance decide the real bar.

Copy-start templates for link building. Personalize every email, lead with the recipient's value, keep the first note to 100-150 words, make one clear ask, use a real domain email, and never attach files in the first email.

## Operating Rules

| Rule | Do | Avoid |
|------|----|-------|
| Personalization | Mention a specific article, section, quote, or page | Generic "love your site" openers |
| Ask | One request per email | Combining guest post, link swap, and product pitch |
| Sequence | Initial, follow-up after 5-7 days, final after day 14 | More follow-ups after a decline |
| Sender | Real person at `name@domain.com` | Free-mail aliases for cold outreach |
| Compliance | Honest reason, clear identity, easy opt-out | Fake "Re:", misleading claims, link-exchange language |

## Template Matrix

| Use Case | Subject | Opening Proof | Core Ask |
|----------|---------|---------------|----------|
| Broken link | `Found a broken link on your [topic] page` | `I noticed [broken URL/anchor] in [section] returns 404.` | `Would [your URL] work as a replacement?` |
| Guest post | `Guest post idea: [title]` | `Your recent [article] covered [specific angle].` | `Would this outline fit your readers?` |
| Resource page | `Resource for your [topic] page` | `Your [topic] resource page is organized around [section].` | `Consider adding [resource] to [specific section].` |
| Unlinked mention | `Thanks for mentioning [brand]` | `You mentioned [brand] in [article/context].` | `Could you link that mention to [URL]?` |
| Digital PR | `New data: [headline stat]` | `[Study] found [surprising finding].` | `This may fit your coverage of [beat].` |
| Source request | `[Source request] Re: [query]` | `[Name], [title], can speak to [topic].` | `Use the quote/data below if helpful.` |
| Skyscraper | `Updated resource on [topic]` | `You link to [older competitor resource].` | `If useful, swap to this updated version.` |
| Relationship-only | `Loved your piece on [topic]` | `The section on [specific point] helped us [outcome].` | No ask; start relationship. |

## Base Email Shape

```text
Hi [Name],

I was reading [specific page/article] and noticed [specific observation].

[One sentence of value: broken link, useful resource, original data, quote, or relevant angle.]

[One clear ask tied to their reader benefit.]

No pressure either way. Thanks for the useful work on [topic].

[Name]
```

## Scenario Starters

### Broken Link

```text
I noticed the link to [description] in [section] returns a 404.
We recently published [resource] covering [overlap]. It may work as a replacement: [URL].
Either way, wanted to flag the broken link.
```

### Guest Post

```text
I'd like to contribute:
Title: [proposed title]
Angle: [unique POV]
Reader value: [why their audience cares]
Samples: [URL 1], [URL 2]
Would this be a fit?
```

### Digital PR / Research

```text
We just published [study] and found [headline stat].
Key findings: [finding 1]; [finding 2]; [finding 3].
Full report: [URL]. Happy to provide quotes or raw cuts.
```

### HARO / Source Request

```text
Source: [name], [title], [company]
Credentials: [why credible]
Response: [2-3 concise paragraphs]
Key quote: "[one standalone quote]"
Available at [email/phone].
```

## Follow-Up Sequence

| Email | Timing | Message |
|-------|--------|---------|
| Initial | Day 0 | Make the ask |
| Follow-up 1 | Day 5-7 | `Just bumping this in case it got buried. [one-sentence reminder].` |
| Follow-up 2 | Day 14 | `Last follow-up. Feel free to bookmark [URL] if useful later.` |
| Stop | After FU2 | Move to a 3-6 month re-engagement list with a new angle |

## Response Handling

| Response | Reply Pattern |
|----------|---------------|
| They'll add link | Thank them; provide exact URL and preferred anchor if requested |
| They want guest post | Send title, outline, target length, delivery date, and ask for guidelines |
| Noncommittal | Acknowledge; offer to help as a future source |
| Decline | Thank them once; do not argue or follow up again |
| No response | Do not mention the non-response next time; use a new angle |

## Subject Line Guardrails

Use: specific topic, article title, stat, or resource. Keep under 60 characters.

Avoid: `Link exchange opportunity`, `SEO partnership`, `I'd love a backlink`, fake `Re:`, all caps, vague "quick question" subjects.

      # 大表翻页批采

`ground-truth.mjs` 一次只看**第 1 页**。这在勘测阶段是对的——判「这页有没有数据」
只需要第一屏。但一旦要用数据，第 1 页往往只是零头：

| 路由（canva.com，2026-08） | 分页器自报 | 第 1 页拿到 | 占比 |
|---|---|---|---|
| `top-pages` | Page 1 of **1,430** | 50 行 | 0.07% |
| `subfolders-subdomains` | Page 1 of **2,611** | 50 行 | 0.04% |
| `sources-destinations` | Page 1 of **930** | 50 行 | 0.1% |
| `audience-overlap` | Page 1 of **9**（共 429 个域名） | 50 行 | 12% |

本文回答四件事：**这张表怎么分页 / 三种机制各自怎么采 / 采多少才不烧配额 /
采完怎么知道没丢行**。脚本是 [`scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs`](../scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs)
（纯函数层在 [`scripts/lib-pagination.mjs`](../scripts/lib-pagination.mjs)）。

先读 [`harvest.md`](harvest.md)：那里的坑（虚拟滚动、URL 列必须读属性、后台标签节流、
失败的抓取不许写进正式路径）**在翻页场景里一条都没消失，只是重复了 N 遍**。

---

## 一、先判机制，再动手

**在一个新页面上花两分钟判机制，能省掉几小时的白跑。** 四种机制，判据都在下面这张表里。

| 机制 | 判据（怎么看出来的） | 翻页动作 | 断点续跑的代价 |
|---|---|---|---|
| **URL 驱动** | URL 里已有 `page`/`offset`/`start` 之类参数，**且**改掉它重载后表格内容变了 | 直接 `open` 新 URL | 零：页码就是地址，任意页随时可达 |
| **客户端分页** | 页面底部有分页器（`Page 1 of N` / `Prev` `Next` / 页码输入框），但 URL 里没有页码 | 点 `Next` 或往页码输入框里填数字 | 中：续跑要么从第 1 页顺序点回去，要么用输入框跳 |
| **虚拟滚动 / 懒加载** | 没有分页器；行数随滚动增长 | 滚（见 harvest.md 的坐标重建行） | 高：没有页号这个坐标，只能从头滚 |
| **一屏到底** | 没有分页器；滚动时行数不变 | 无 | — |

### 判定流程（离线一半，实盘一半）

**离线那一半**（不烧配额，能从已有证据里读出来）：

1. 拿这一页任意一份 `census-*.json`，在 `census.deepText` 里搜 `Page` / `第` / `共`
   （**别只看尾部**，见下面的警告）。`parsePager()` 认得四种形态：

   | 形态 | 实际文本 | 出处 |
   |---|---|---|
   | 碎片式 | `Prev\nNext\nPage:\nof\n1,430\nPage: 1` | Semrush Traffic Analytics（`Page:` 后面是输入框，文本里只剩标签；当前页在无障碍副本里） |
   | 行内式 | `Page 3 of 1,430` | 多数英文后台 |
   | 中文式 | `第 3 页，共 2,611 页` | 中文后台 |
   | 行区间式 | `1 - 100 (~50,988)` | Semrush backlinks（**没有页号，只有行区间**；总行数照样能做自检） |

   ⚠️ **两个陷阱，2026-08-30 实盘各踩一次：**
   - `census` 默认只采 `sampleChars: 20000` 的样本，分页器不一定在里面。
     **「census 里没有分页器」判不了「这页没有分页」。**
   - **「深层文本的尾部」不是「页面的底部」。** `deepTextSample` 逐 shadow root 取
     `innerText`、取不到就退 `textContent`——于是 `<style>` 里的 CSS 全进了样本。
     实测取 40 万字符样本的尾部 3000 字，全是 `semi-popover-wrapper{...}` 这类样式规则，
     一个分页器字样都没有。所以 `harvest-paginated.mjs` 不取尾部，而是**定点找**：
     先找文本恰好是 `Prev`/`Next`/`Page:`/`of`/`第`/`共` 的叶子，再往上爬到一个
     文本量还小（≤300 字符）的祖先，取它的文本。

2. 看 URL 里有没有页码类参数（`findUrlPageParam()`）。
   Semrush Traffic Analytics 的 URL 是
   `/analytics/traffic/top-pages/?q=<domain>&searchType=domain&lid=<lid>`——
   **一个页码参数都没有**，所以它不可能是 URL 驱动的形状。

**实盘那一半**（约两次页面加载，不采数据）：

```sh
node backlink/scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs \
  --url 'https://sem.3ue.co/analytics/traffic/top-pages/?q=canva.com&searchType=domain&lid=<lid>' \
  --out backlink/evidence/pagination/probe-top-pages --probe
```

它做的事：采第 1 页 → 往 URL 上加 `?page=2` 重开 → 采第 2 页 → 比两页的**行指纹**。
产物 `manifest.json` 的 `probe` 段里有 `contentChanged`。

**`contentChanged: true` 不等于「URL 驱动」**——内容变了也可能只是重新取了一次数、
或者换了排序。判 URL 驱动要再看一眼：第 2 页的第 1 行，是不是接着第 1 页的最后一行？
这一步脚本不做，因为它是判断（`scripts-collect-ai-judges`）。两份 census 摆在一起，
你自己看。

### 已判定：Semrush Traffic Analytics = 客户端分页

- 分页器文本在（`Prev / Next / Page: [输入框] of 1,430`），**URL 里没有任何页码参数**
  （2026-08-29 的 `census-s5.json`，href 全程是
  `/analytics/traffic/top-pages/?q=canva.com&searchType=domain&lid=…`）。
- **无滚动懒加载**：滚动全程 `filledCells` 恒为 850、深层文本恒定。
  50 行在渲染完成那一刻就全在 DOM 里，更多数据在分页里、不在滚动里。
- 每页 50 行；`top-pages` 17 列、`subfolders` 18 列。
- **2026-08-30 实盘证实**（`audience-overlap`，nytimes.com，15 页）：
  `mechanism.kind = client`、`confidence = high`，分页器读作
  `Prev Next Page: of 15 Page: 1`，连点 `Next` 逐页翻动、每页 50 行。详见第六节。
- **`--probe` 仍未跑过**：「加 `?page=2` 会不会意外生效」是未知数。
  它只可能让事情变简单（真生效就升级成 URL 驱动），判不成也不影响客户端分页这条路。

## 二、三种机制的采集配方

三条配方共用同一套纪律，差别只在「怎么到下一页」。

### 共用纪律（四条，脚本里已经写死）

1. **绝不默认全量。** `--max-pages` 默认 **5**，硬上限 **200**。计划被截断时，
   stderr 与 `manifest.notice` 里必须出现「本轮只采了 N/M 页……这是抽样，不是全量」。
   静默截断就是把抽样冒充全量。
2. **每页都要有证据。** 每页固定落一份 `census-p<N>.json`（DOM 证人）+
   `page-<N>.tsv`（行）。截图按 `--shot-every` 抽样（默认每 5 页一张，
   **首页与末页必留**），抽样规则写进 `manifest.shotEvery` / `shotPages`。
   只留一个合并结果 = 出了错没有现场。
3. **翻页成功要绑内容，不绑页码——而且「内容」必须是数据。** 四条同时成立才算这一页到了：
   `filledCells > 0` + 取行策略与第 1 页一致 + 行指纹与上一页不同 + 连续两读一致。
   两边都有实测教训：**页码变了表格没换**（harvest.md：Semrush backlinks 连点 12 次
   `Next` 抓回 1200 行、去重只有 90 个唯一源），以及反过来——**表格正在重建、
   取行降级抓到了导航栏，指纹也「变了」也「稳定」**（2026-08-30 实盘，第六节）。
   `pageFingerprint()` 刻意只用行内容、不含页号，就是为了让第一种情况暴露出来。
4. **对不上就打标，不下判断。** 见第四节。

### 配方 A：URL 驱动

最省事。`--pager url --page-param page`，每页一次 `open`。
断点续跑天然成立（页码就是地址）。注意 URL 里带页码后 `q=`/`lid=` 一个都不能少——
Semrush 这棵树上 `q=` 会被 `lid` 覆盖（见 `platforms/semrush/traffic-analytics/OVERVIEW.md`）。

### 配方 B：客户端分页（Semrush TA 属于这一类）

**只有 `Next` 是可靠的。** 2026-08-30 实盘：页码输入框**根本定位不到**
（`no page input found`，连采三页全废）。所以脚本的主路是**连点 `Next` 走过去**：
目标页在当前页之后、距离不超过 `--max-next-walk`（默认 25）时逐跳前进，
中间那些页只导航不落盘，每一跳都要满足上面那四条就绪条件。
`Next` 的定位是自己按 `textContent` 精确匹配再爬到可点祖先——
`opencli click --text` 在 Semrush 上大量多重匹配，`matches_n>1` 时它根本不点。

跳页那条路（`focus()` + `execCommand('insertText')` + **合成 KeyboardEvent Enter
三连**，keyCode 13、bubbles）仍然留着——受控输入直接改 `value` React 状态不更新，
CDP 真键在 Semrush 的同类输入上实测也不生效（`traffic-analytics/OVERVIEW.md`
的建列表配方里踩过同一个坑）——但**它没跑通过**。失败时会落一份
`pager-diag-p<N>.json` 记下当时找到了哪些候选输入框，下次接着修。

**续跑的代价在这里最高，而且是真的要付**：客户端分页没有把页码写进 URL，
浏览器一关状态就回到第 1 页。所以续跑要采第 40 页，就得**真的点 39 次 `Next`**
（不重采、只重导航，但仍占时间和锁）。`--max-next-walk` 就是这笔开销的闸门：
走不到的抽样点，脚本会记失败而不是偷偷少采。

### 配方 C：虚拟滚动 / 懒加载

没有页号，只有滚动位置。用 `ground-truth.mjs` 的分屏循环（双证人到底判据）
或 harvest.browser.js 的坐标重建行 + Blob 导出。两个必须记住的判据：

- **「行数不涨」不等于「到底了」**：也可能是滚错了对象（主滚动条在内层 div，
  window 滚动是空操作）。到底 = census 与截图 md5 **双双**不变。
- 后台标签的定时器节流会随时间恶化到**每分钟一步**（harvest.md）。长滚动任务必须前台。

---

## 三、配额成本：1,430 页要多久，什么时候该改抽样

### 时间账（按已实测的数字算）

已实测：
- 冷启动到数据落进 DOM：**61–76 秒**（top-pages）；`sources-destinations` 的骨架屏
  可达 **4 分钟**才出数。
- 翻页后的重渲染耗时：**未实测**。脚本的节奏是 `PAGE_POLL_MS = 2 秒`，
  就绪要求「变了 + 连续两读一致」，所以下界是 ~4 秒 + 每次 `eval` 的往返开销。
  合理估计带 **5–20 秒/页**，但这是估计不是测量。

于是：

| 规模 | 10 秒/页 | 20 秒/页 |
|---|---|---|
| 5 页（默认） | ~1 分钟 | ~2 分钟 |
| 40 页（2,000 行） | ~7 分钟 | ~13 分钟 |
| 200 页（硬上限） | ~33 分钟 | ~67 分钟 |
| **1,430 页（top-pages 全量）** | **~4 小时** | **~8 小时** |
| **2,611 页（subfolders 全量）** | **~7 小时** | **~15 小时** |

**第一件事不是决定采多少页，是把「秒/页」测出来。** 跑一次 `--max-pages 5`，
拿 `manifest.pages` 里的时间戳差算出实测值，再往上推。**不许拿上表当结论用**。

### 为什么全量不是「慢一点」而是「不行」

采集期间**整轮持机器级 semrush 锁**（`one-collector-per-quota-tool`）。
一个 4 小时的进程握着锁，意味着这台机器上**所有**其他 Semrush 工作流停摆 4 小时。
锁的默认超时是 600 秒，等锁的 agent 会一个个超时失败——2026-08-28 已经发生过
一个 agent 等锁 56 分钟颗粒无收。**所以单轮不该超过 200 页（硬上限），
超过就拆成多轮，每轮之间放锁**：脚本的断点续跑就是为这个存在的，
同一条命令重复跑，每次推进 `--max-pages` 页。

### 配额本身：**未测量，按未知处理**

「翻一页会不会扣 Semrush 的报表额度」这件事**本仓库没有测过**，不要凭感觉断言。
可测的做法：

1. 采集前读一次账号页头的额度指示器（截图 + census 留证）；
2. 跑一次 `--max-pages 5`；
3. 再读一次额度指示器。差值 ÷ 5 = 每页成本。

测出来之前，`--max-pages` 就保持在个位数。

### 还有一种上限：**账号本身就不给你翻**

harvest.md 记着 Tools Share 共享账号在 `/analytics/backlinks/backlinks/` 上的硬顶：
`Next` 可点、无 `disabled`、`click` 返回 `clicked:true`，但范围指示始终停在
`1 - 100 (~50,988)`。**这不是脚本坏了，是套餐边界。**

好消息是**这种情况第 2 页就能识破，成本约 30 秒**：两页行指纹相同 →
`verifyRowCount` 报 `duplicatePages` → `rowCountMismatch: true`。
所以**任何新表的第一轮都先跑 `--max-pages 2`**，确认翻页真的动了，再往上加。

### 什么规模该放弃全量，抽样怎么抽才不偏

**判据：预计耗时 > 30 分钟（约 200 页）就别想全量了。** 按上面的表，
这条线大约落在「总页数 > 200」——`audience-overlap`（canva 9 页 / nytimes 15 页）可以全量，
`top-pages`（1,430）、`subfolders`（2,611）、`sources-destinations`（930）都不行。

抽样怎么抽，取决于**你要回答什么问题**。这三种表都是**按流量降序排的**，
这一点决定了一切：

| 你要回答 | 抽法 | 为什么 |
|---|---|---|
| 「哪些页面扛流量」「抄谁的页面结构」 | **`--mode head`，前 20–40 页**（1,000–2,000 行） | 幂律分布，头部就是答案。这不是「有偏样本」，这是**正确的样本**——你要的本来就是头部 |
| 「这个站一共有多少 XX 类页面」「长尾长什么样」 | **`--mode stratified`，等距系统抽样** | 按秩分层，每层抽一页 |
| 「总流量怎么分配」「头部占比多少」 | **头部全采 + 尾部分层抽样，分开报** | 见下 |

**系统抽样的两条纪律**：

1. **`--offset` 必须落盘并在续跑时原样传回。** `planPages` 的样本是
   `offset + 1 + k·step`——offset 换了，样本就换了，两轮的结果拼在一起不再是
   一个概率样本。脚本把它记进 `state.json` 与 `manifest.offset`。
2. **`offset` 要随机取（0 到 step-1），不要恒为 0。** 恒为 0 就永远抽第
   1、201、401… 页，如果表里有周期性结构（比如每 200 行一个语言块）就系统性偏了。

**绝对不许做的事：拿头部样本外推总量。** 头部 40 页的每行平均流量比全表高几个数量级，
乘以 71,500 会得到一个比该站总流量还大的数。要总量就报「前 N 行合计 = X，
占分页器自报总行数 71,500 的 2.8%」，把口径写在数字旁边。

---

## 四、静默丢行：采完怎么知道自己没丢

这是整件事里最危险的一段，因为**丢行不报错**。harvest.md 的实测：某报表 100 行里
78 行是长 URL，长 URL 在单元格里换行 → 该格跨两个 Y 分桶 → 整行被拆散 →
被 `minCells` 过滤掉，**坐标法只回收到 18 行，没有任何报错，肉眼看输出也很正常**。

`verifyRowCount()` 在合并后跑四条机器判据，任一命中 → `manifest.rowCountMismatch: true`：

| 判据 | 抓的是什么 | 命中后先怀疑什么 |
|---|---|---|
| `shortPages` | 非末页却少于 `rowsPerPage` 行 | 静默丢行（长 URL 换行、Y 聚类被拆）。看那一页的 `strategy` 字段：从 `role-row` 掉到 `leaf-ycluster` 就是降级了 |
| `duplicatePages` | 两页行指纹相同 | 翻页没生效（套餐硬顶，或 `Next` 点了没反应） |
| `duplicateRows` | 跨页重复行 | 同上，或表在采集期间被重排了 |
| `totalMismatch` | 全量采完时唯一行数 ≠ 页面自报总行数 | 口径不同（自报的是"域名数"不是"行数"），或真丢了 |

**这四条都只是「对不上」，不是「丢了」。** 判断归 AI：拿 `manifest.audit`、
出问题那一页的 `census-p<N>.json`、以及（如果抽到了）`shot-p<N>.png` 三样对质。
`rowCountMismatch: true` 的退出码仍是 **0**——采集本身完成了，别让下游脚本
把「对不上」当成「跑失败了」而重跑一遍烧配额。

### 除了脚本能查的，还有两条要人看

- **`strategy` 要在所有页上一致。** 一页 `role-row`、下一页 `leaf-ycluster`，
  说明 DOM 形状变了（或者那一页压根没渲染完），两页的列序很可能对不齐。
- **抽到截图的那几页要真的看一眼。** 双证人的意义就在这里：census 说 50 行、
  截图上却是骨架屏，那 50 行是壳不是货（`sources-destinations` 的骨架屏可达 4 分钟）。

---

## 五、脚本速查

```sh
# 0. 开工前：这台机器现在能不能动手（锁被谁拿着）
node opencli/scripts/pressure.mjs --tool semrush

# 1. 判机制（约 2 次加载，不采数据）
node backlink/scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs --url '<url>' --out <dir> --probe

# 2. 试水：先 2 页，确认翻页真的动了（duplicatePages 会当场抓出套餐硬顶）
node backlink/scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs --url '<url>' --out <dir> --max-pages 2

# 3. 正式采：头部
node backlink/scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs --url '<url>' --out <dir> --max-pages 40 --shot-every 10

# 4. 长尾分层抽样（offset 随机取一次，之后所有轮次都用同一个）
node backlink/scripts/harvest-paginated.mjs --url '<url>' --out <dir> \
  --mode stratified --max-pages 30 --offset 17

# 5. 中断了？原样再跑同一条命令 —— 读 <dir>/state.json，已采的页不重采
```

产物（`<dir>/`）：

| 文件 | 是什么 |
|---|---|
| `manifest.json` | 机制判定、本轮计划与 `notice`（「只采了 N/M 页」）、每页记录、`audit`、`rowCountMismatch`、锁与落点自检 |
| `state.json` | 断点续跑状态。**版本/URL 对不上就整份作废重来**，绝不在不认识的状态上续跑 |
| `census-p<N>.json` | 每页的 DOM 证人（行数、`strategy`、分页器文本、census 读数、前 3 行样本） |
| `shot-p<N>.png` | 抽样截图（像素证人）。抽样规则见 `manifest.shotEvery` |
| `page-<N>.tsv` | 每页的行。首列是该行第一个链接的**完整** href/title（URL 列必须读属性） |
| `rows.tsv` | 跨页去重后的合并结果 |

---

## 六、实盘验证记录（2026-08-30）

**跑过了，而且第一次就没跑通——四个 bug 全是实盘抓出来的，离线测试一个都看不见。**

目标：`audience-overlap`（nytimes.com，`lid=1234971`），**15 页**。
选它是因为它小：一次能采完，翻页失控也只有 15 页可烧。会话 `semrush-nav`，
整轮持机器级 semrush 锁，`pressure.mjs --tool semrush` 报 go 之后才动手。

### 实盘抓出来的四个 bug（都已修，都写进了脚本注释）

1. **就绪判据被兜底策略骗了（两次）。** 第一版写的是
   `isReady(census) || rows.length > 1`。页面外壳里有 6 个空的 `role=row`，
   于是脚本在 `filledCells=0`（一个数据都没有）时就判了就绪，接着报 `no-pager` 退出。
   修了第一处之后，续跑那轮又栽在同一个坑的变体上：兜底策略 `leaf-ycluster`
   从**导航栏**里聚出了 2 行，`rows.length >= 2` 再次成立。
   现在的判据是 `filledCells > 0` 或（`role-row` 且 ≥2 行）——
   `leaf-ycluster` 出的行不构成就绪证据。
   这就是 `readiness-must-bind-to-this-query` 那条法律的第 N 次现形：
   **「有东西」不等于「有这一查询的数据」。**
2. **分页器文本不能靠「深层文本的尾部」取。** `deepTextSample` 逐 root 取
   `innerText`、取不到退 `textContent`——于是 `<style>` 里的 CSS 全进了样本，
   40 万字符的尾部 3000 字全是 `semi-popover-wrapper` 之类的样式规则，
   一个分页器字样都没有。**「分页器在页面底部」这件事，在「按 root 顺序拼接的
   文本」里根本不成立。** 改成定点找：先找分页器关键词的叶子，再往上爬到一个
   文本量还小的祖先取它的文本。改完当场读出 `Prev Next Page: of 15 Page: 1`。
3. **翻页中途的重渲染被当成了「第 2 页」。** 点完 `Next`，表体被整个卸掉重建，
   那一瞬 `filledCells=0`、`role=row` 一个不剩，取行降级到 `leaf-ycluster`
   抓到了导航栏（「流量与市场 价格 Enterprise…」）。指纹确实变了、也连着两读一致
   （因为壳是静止的），于是导航栏被存成了第 2 页。
   **行数自检当场报了 `shortPages`（2 行 vs 50 行）——它按设计工作了**，
   但脚本本就不该把它当成功。现在每页要四条同时成立才算到：
   `filledCells>0` + 取行策略与第 1 页一致 + 指纹变了 + 连续两读一致；
   凑不齐就记失败、留 `census-p<N>-failed.json` 现场，不存那一页。
4. **失败的抓取覆盖了正本。** 续跑那轮的 `no-pager` 分支调了
   `capturePage(1, …)`，把上一轮采到的 50 行 `page-1.tsv` **覆盖成了 2 行导航栏垃圾**。
   [`harvest.md`](harvest.md) 开头第一条写的就是这个，本脚本还是犯了一遍。
   现在失败路径一律写 `-nopager` / `-unready` / `-failed` 后缀，正式产物一个字节不碰。

### 还有一个设计假设被实盘证伪

**页码输入框跳页不可用。** 浏览器一关，页码状态回到第 1 页；续跑要采第 4 页时
走了输入框那条路，结果 `no page input found`，连采三页全废。
分页器上真正稳的控件只有 `Next`。所以客户端分页现在**一步一步走**：
目标页在当前页之后、距离不超过 `--max-next-walk`（默认 25）时连点 `Next` 过去，
中间那些页只导航不落盘。**代价是真实的**——走到第 40 页要点 39 次，
这正是「客户端分页的续跑代价最高」那句话的实测形态。
（跳页那条路仍然留着给 `--mode stratified`，但**它没跑通过**；
失败时会落一份 `pager-diag-p<N>.json` 记下当时找到了哪些候选输入框。）

### 修完之后的实测结果

| 轮次 | 命令 | 结果 |
|---|---|---|
| 第 1 轮 | `--max-pages 3` | page 1/2/3 各 50 行，`strategy=role-row`，`pagerCurrent` 依次 1/2/3 |
| 第 2 轮（续跑，同一条命令） | `--max-pages 3` | `resumedFrom=3`，计划自动变成 4/5/6，各 50 行，`pagerCurrent` 依次 4/5/6 |

合并后 **300 行、300 个唯一行、`rowCountMismatch: false`**，
`lockHeld: true`、`hijacked: false`、`finalHref` 里 `q=` 与 `lid=` 对得上、
`__gmitm=` 只剩键名。截图按 `--shot-every` 抽样，`manifest.shotPages` 记着抽了哪几页。
证据（本地，gitignore）：`backlink/evidence/pagination/audience-overlap-live/`。

**`pagerCurrent` 与请求页号逐页一致，是「Next-walk 真的走到了目标页」的独立旁证**——
它不参与就绪判据（判据只看内容），所以它是第二个证人。

### 仍未验证的部分

- **`--probe`（URL 参数驱动的实证）没跑过。** Semrush TA 的 URL 里没有页码参数，
  加 `?page=2` 会怎样仍是未知；不影响客户端分页这条路。
- **跳页（页码输入框）没跑通**，因此 `--mode stratified` 在 Semrush TA 上
  目前只能靠 Next-walk 走到抽样点（步数受 `--max-next-walk` 限制），
  抽样点太靠后就走不到。要在这张表上做长尾抽样，得先把输入框的定位解决。
- **每页耗时没有正式计量**（第三节的秒/页仍是估计）。`manifest.pages[*].at`
  里有时间戳，下次跑的人顺手算一下并把实测值填回第三节。
- **翻页扣不扣配额仍未测量**，第三节的测量配方照旧有效。
- **只在 15 页的小表上验证过。** 1,430 页的表上会不会出现新形状（比如页码超过
  某个值后分页器换形态）未知。

      # Paid placement platforms: an evidence registry, not a shopping list

This Skill keeps a registry at `data/paid-platforms.json` of platforms that have
been **observed** carrying deliberately-placed links in real backlink profiles.
It is maintained by `scripts/paid-platform-registry.mjs`, and it accumulates
across every project and every harvest that gets merged into it.

Run it after any competitor harvest:

```bash
node scripts/paid-platform-registry.mjs merge \
  --dirs /path/to/project/.rankup/data/semrush-backlinks \
  --exclude-subject <the-site-you-work-for.com>
node scripts/paid-platform-registry.mjs list --min-sites 2
```

`--exclude-subject` is not optional in practice: the registry is shared across
clients, and the site you are working for must never be written into it.

## Why the registry is worth accumulating

A single investigation sees a few dozen domains' backlinks. That is far too
small a sample to tell "this platform is routinely used" from "one site happened
to use it once". What makes the signal usable is **repetition across
independent subjects**, which only appears after many harvests are merged.

So the column that matters is `sitesHit` — how many separate observed sites
have a placement burst on that platform. A platform that keeps reappearing in
unrelated profiles is a platform that is actually being used. One that appears
once is an anecdote.

This is why the registry lives in the Skill rather than in any one project.

## How placements are detected

**Same-day burst.** Automatic noise — domain-report pages, shorteners,
scraped syndication — arrives one link at a time with scattered dates. Only a
human submitting, or the receiving site batch-generating pages, produces a dozen
URLs from one referring domain on a single day.

## The single most misread number: bursts are not purchases

One listing is routinely rendered **once per interface language**, and often
across several domains run by the same operator. A "148 links in one day" burst
is typically **one placement × a site with many locales**, not a campaign.

Two consequences, and they point in opposite directions:

- **When estimating what a competitor spent**, count `placements`, not
  `totalUrls`. The registry tracks placements as distinct `site@date` pairs for
  exactly this reason.
- **When choosing among comparable channels**, prefer the ones that ship many
  locales — the same single success is amplified many times over. This is the
  useful half of the observation, and it applies to free channels too.

## Tiers, and what each one means

`tier` is recorded as observed. Never infer a price; open the pricing page and
fill in `price` and `priceCheckedAt`, or leave them null.

| tier | meaning |
| --- | --- |
| `paid-listing` | A real directory that charges a listing fee and reviews submissions. What is sold is the listing; links follow from it. |
| `link-package` | The offer is stated **in link count** — "N dofollow backlinks from M premium domains for a fixed fee". This is a link scheme in the plain sense, whatever it calls itself. |
| `free-with-account` | No fee, but submission requires registration. Recorded separately because "free" and "no registration" are different claims and platforms conflate them. |
| `spam-net` | Bulk networks, usually self-identifying in the domain name (`seo`, `ranking`, `boost`, `authority`, `fiverr`). **Blacklist.** |
| `not-a-platform` | A large burst that is not a purchasable channel — a sitewide widget, genuine editorial coverage plus a template link, or an injection on a compromised host. Recorded so nobody mistakes the volume for an opportunity. |
| `unverified` | Detected as a burst, pricing not yet checked. The default. |

## Reading `spam-net` correctly

Seeing one of these in **your own** profile is not an achievement — it is
untargeted blasting aimed at you by an unrelated party. They frequently appear
across several unrelated subjects at once, which is what exposes them. Do not
buy them, and do not count them.

## What this registry does and does not authorise

Recording is not recommending. This Skill's rules still exclude link farms and
paid link schemes, and `link-package` offers carry an obvious footprint — two
domains accounting for nearly a whole profile is trivially detectable, and
keyword-anchored links sold by the batch are named directly in search engines'
link-spam policies.

The registry's job is to make the decision **informed**: report the tier, the
verified price, how many independent sites were observed using it, and the
footprint risk. Whether to buy is the site owner's call, not the agent's. Do not
buy on your own initiative, and do not relabel a `link-package` as a "directory
submission" to make it sound acceptable.

## Identical wording across many domains is one operator, not a trend

The most valuable pattern a bulk price check produces is not any single price —
it is **recognising the same template twice**. Two families surfaced in one
2026-08 sweep of 648 domains:

- **~28 reciprocal web directories** (`1directory.org`, `azure-directory.com`,
  `dicedirectory.com`, `fruity-directory.com`, `johnnylist.org`,
  `lemon-directory.com`, `reddit-directory.com`, `webguiding.net`, …) all running
  one PHP/Smarty template: free submission **in exchange for a reciprocal link**,
  plus a verbatim-identical upsell — *a $0.80 sponsored link placed across
  32–90 directories*. Same sentence, same price, twenty-eight domains. That is
  one operator selling a link network, and the honest way to record it is as
  **one entry with 28 hosts**, not 28 independent opportunities. Counting them
  separately is how a report claims 28 placements for what a search engine sees
  as one footprint.
- **~11 launch platforms** (`600.tools`, `dirs.cc`, `featuredtool.com`,
  `open-launch.com`, `shipybara.com`, `launchvault.dev`, …) sharing a pricing
  template: a genuinely free tier with a stated multi-week-to-multi-year queue,
  against a cheap $2–$50 instant/featured tier. This family is the opposite
  case — the free path is real, so these belong in the free library with the
  queue length recorded, not written off as paid.

**The tell is verbatim wording, not similar pricing.** Similar prices across a
niche are a market; the same sentence across two dozen domains is a codebase.
When you find one, check the whole family before filing any of them.

      # Prompt examples

Invoke only the single `$backlink` Skill.

## Discover opportunities

> Use $backlink to find backlink opportunities for https://example.com. Start
> from these competitors: competitor-a.com and competitor-b.com. Use my logged-in
> OpenCLI browser, build a recursive discovery queue to depth 2, and return only
> qualified, topically relevant opportunities. Do not submit anything.

## Discover with the Tools Share dashboard

> Use $backlink in non-interruptive background mode. Open my authorized
> third-party SEO dashboard, use Similarweb to find relevant competitors and Semrush
> to inspect their backlink sources, then recursively harvest commenter domains
> to depth 2. Save a qualified opportunity queue and do not fill or submit
> anything. If Chrome would steal focus, stop that browser action and tell me.

## Inspect known resources

> Use $backlink to inspect these candidate URLs with OpenCLI. Classify each as
> comment, directory, profile, login wall, CAPTCHA, paid, or rejected. Save the
> results in the backlink ledger. Do not fill or submit.

## Prepare a reviewed batch

> Use $backlink to prepare five backlink opportunities for example.com.
> Generate truthful, page-specific drafts, scan each form, and fill safe fields.
> Keep the submit guard active and stop for my review before every submission.

## Verify outcomes

> Use $backlink to revisit the submitted candidates. Record separately whether
> each link is public, indexed, and follow/nofollow. Do not infer any state from
> a prior submission message.

## Analyze the existing profile

> Use $backlink to analyze my exported backlink CSV: quality, toxic patterns,
> anchor diversity, competitor gaps, and the next ten opportunities. Do not
> disavow or contact anyone.

      # Backlink operation safety

- Use the owner's truthful identity and product information.
- Never fabricate comments, endorsements, metrics, addresses, or personas.
- Require article-specific comments that add useful context; reject generic praise.
- Stop on login requirements, CAPTCHA, Turnstile, ambiguous forms, multiple
  candidate forms, paywalls, or changed DOM fingerprints.
- Default every OpenCLI browser session to background mode. Do not use foreground
  mode or click a launcher that steals focus unless the user explicitly requests it.
  Background mode is not headless — it drives the owner's real logged-in Chrome
  (`navigator.webdriver=false`, no Headless UA), so there is never a reason to
  reach for foreground to "look more human".
  ⚠️ **Corrected 2026-08-29.** This line used to claim background mode also gives
  you `visibilityState=visible`. It does not. The OpenCLI Skill's own measured
  record — repeated in its session-laws reference and its SKILL.md — is the
  opposite: throughout a background `open` / `eval` / `screenshot` / `click` /
  `type` run, the page reports `document.hasFocus()` permanently `false` and
  `visibilityState` permanently `hidden`. Read that as a *readiness* fact, not a
  stealth one: a background tab is not focused and not visible, which is exactly
  why the `hidden-tabs-do-not-hydrate` law in SKILL.md exists. Being unfocused is not a
  bot tell, so the conclusion (never reach for foreground) is unchanged.
  How the wrong version probably got in: the visibility-disguise patch — the one
  that redefines `document.visibilityState` to `visible` and used to also override
  `document.hasFocus` — makes *this exact claim* verify. Anyone who checked
  `visibilityState` with that patch installed saw "visible, confirmed", and the
  instrument, not the browser, is what answered. See the instrument-contamination
  lesson under `readiness-must-bind-to-this-query` in SKILL.md: before you take a
  signal as corroboration, confirm your own instrument has not touched it.
- Never hardcode a literal OpenCLI session name in a script. A session name is a
  tab claim; two concurrent tasks sharing one name share one tab and silently read
  back each other's pages. Suffix defaults with `CLAUDE_CODE_HOST_SESSION_ID` and
  always leave a `--session` override.
- Fill fields only. Keep the submit guard active and leave final submission to
  the user unless the user separately authorizes one exact submission after review.
- Never automate Google account-chooser clicks.
- Do not submit to adult, spam, malware, or link-farm pages.
- A different topic is NOT a reason to skip a target. Relevance ranks candidates,
  it does not gate them; when there is no relevant option, quantity wins. Keep the
  comment body specific to the article and put the link in the URL/name field.
  See [acquisition-doctrine.md](acquisition-doctrine.md).
- Do not use hidden reciprocal links, temporary eligibility pages, or cloaking.
- Do not resubmit an unconfirmed target; investigate its public state first.
- Before selecting any batch, read the project's `.backlink/ledger.json` and skip
  every domain already at submitted or later, plus rejected domains by default
  (`--include-rejected` only after confirming the rejection reason no longer
  applies). The Skill's target database is shared across projects; only the
  project's own ledger knows what that project has already sent. After the run,
  write every result back into the ledger — a run whose outcome never lands
  there is invisible to the next selection and gets submitted to again.
- If what you actually observed during a submission does not match what
  `data/submission-targets.json` or `data/free-channels.json` says (a gate,
  a captcha, a payment requirement, a route, a dead site), correct that
  record before the run ends and re-run `scripts/validate-data.mjs` — see
  `fix-data-on-mismatch` in `SKILL.md`.
- Never call a link follow, indexed, authoritative, or traffic-producing without
  direct evidence for that exact claim.
- Respect robots.txt, terms, rate limits, paid-plan boundaries, and account scope.

## 9. 实战经验精华(别人认为最值钱的用法)

1. **KD<30 + 量 500-2000 是中小站黄金区间**——85% 站长只看量不看 KD 是最大误区;先 Keyword Magic 按 KD≤29 过滤再看量(知乎实战帖 zhuanlan.zhihu.com/p/1999586184930821080;serp.cn KD 解析)。
2. **Keyword Gap 的 missing+untapped 分桶 + 意图过滤**是最快的抄竞品选题法:4 个竞品都排名而你没有的词,基本就是该 niche 的必做题(supademo/flyingvgroup 教程、Search Engine Land gap analysis 指南)。
3. **Organic Research → Top Pages 反推站点结构**:看竞品哪个页面模板扛住了最多词(一页排几百词的模板页=可复制的 programmatic 结构)(robbierichards.com 关键词研究模板)。
4. **Position Changes 盯竞品"新增词"**:竞品最近 30 天新拿排名的词=市场刚验证过的新需求,比自己拍脑袋快(出海笔记/知乎 p/386674282 竞品分析流程)。
5. **Ads History 验证商业价值**:一个词有人连投 12 个月广告=真金白银验证过转化,自然位做上去就是白捡(99signals review)。
6. **Backlink Gap + Bulk Analysis 组合**:先 Gap 拿到"链给竞品没链给我"的域名池,再 Bulk Analysis 批量过 AS/流量筛选,直接生成 outreach 名单(backlinko/99signals)。
7. **Site Audit 是被低估的转化项**:99signals 作者称修完技术问题直接影响了排名表现;GURU 30 万页配额足够扫大站。
8. **Market Explorer 四象限选生态位**:进一个市场前先看 Game Changers 象限里谁在快速增长,抄增长者而不是抄 Leader(99signals .Trends 指南)。
9. **SEO Content Template 决定"写多长、提哪些词、找谁要链接"**,把 Top10 逆向成 spec,配合 SWA 实时打分,内容团队零经验也能交付(多篇 review 共识,GURU 才解锁)。
10. **一次贴 100 词的 Bulk Keyword Overview / 200 域名的 Bulk Analysis**是配额友好的批处理入口,比逐条查省 report 配额(官方 KB)。

## 10. 未探索缺口 TOP(按选站/选词/抄竞品价值排序)

1. **Organic Research 四件套**(Positions/Position Changes/Top Pages/Competitors)——抄竞品主流程的心脏,当前完全未探索。
2. **Keyword Gap**——多竞品交叉找必做词。
3. **Backlink Gap + Backlink 明细/Anchors/Indexed Pages**——外链主流程只测了 overview 一层。
4. **Advertising Research + Ads History**——商业意图验证,零覆盖。
5. **Market Explorer / One2Target / EyeOn**——.Trends 已付费但只用了 Traffic Analytics 一件。
6. **Bulk Analysis + Bulk Keyword Overview**——批处理入口,直接降低配额消耗。
7. **Keyword Strategy Builder**——词→站点结构聚类。
8. **Topic Research / SEO Content Template**——GURU 独占的内容组完全未碰。
9. **Position Tracking(建项目)**——每日排名+Cannibalization,需要占用项目额度,共享账号慎用。
10. **Site Audit / On Page SEO Checker**——同样吃项目额度与爬取配额,共享账号使用前先确认额度归属。

## 三、实战经验精华(别人认为最值钱的用法)

1. **流量拐点反推打法**(出海指南 chuhaizhinan.com Pro 指南):看竞品 2013 至今月度曲线,
   找暴涨/暴跌月份,逐渠道下钻反推它那个月干了什么——比看当前快照值钱得多。
2. **「趋势比绝对值重要」**(猎者出海 liezhe.com 教程五步法):Similarweb 是抽样外推,
   绝对数在小站上能偏 40–60%(getspike/derrick 评测),但同一口径下的**相对趋势和渠道占比**可信。
   <5k 访问的站直接不显示(trafficthinktank)——查不到本身就是「太小」的结论。
3. **受众兴趣库当外链/合作靶单**(出海指南):Audience Interests 列出"你的用户还在逛哪些站",
   天然是 guest post / 联盟合作的候选清单——Semrush 没有对应物。
4. **Audience Overlap 判「真竞品」**(trafficthinktank/99signals):流量像不等于用户重合,
   重叠率高才是抢同一批人;也用来判断收购/换量对象的增量价值。这是 Similarweb 独有维度。
5. **Website Rankings + 行业分析做赛道扫描**(getspike:「no alternative replicates its

      # Submission lanes, cohorts, and the three guards

A submission run splits in two, and the split is the whole point of the cohort
tags. Both lanes produce work; neither is a leftover.

| | Lane A — unattended | Lane B — staged queue |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Cohorts | `open` | `captcha`, `account-captcha`, `email-verify`, `manual-review` |
| What the driver does | fills, clicks the real submit control, reads the result | fills **everything it is allowed to**, walks to the final step, and **leaves the page open** |
| Ends at | `submitted` / `outcome-unknown` | `staged-captcha` — a form on screen needing a code and a click |
| Who finishes it | nobody | the owner, in one sitting, seconds per site |

The driver never types a CAPTCHA answer, never creates an account, never pays,
and never ticks a terms box — those stop the row and move it to Lane B with
whatever could legitimately be filled already in place.

## Lane B needs one session per staged site

**N staged forms need N session names.** A session owns one tab, so reusing a
single session overwrites the previous staged form and the queue silently
becomes a queue of one — while the report still says N staged. Do not reach for
`tab new` to solve this; see Law 2 in [browser-runtime.md](browser-runtime.md)
for why that API cannot hold several pages.

`scripts/adapter-phpld.mjs` carries the correct pattern:

```js
const sessionFor = (url) => `${base}-${new URL(url).hostname.replace(/[^a-z0-9]+/gi, '-').slice(0, 40)}`;
```

Hand the owner the session list, not a list of URLs to re-enter by hand.

## Run one cohort at a time

Every target carries **all** the gates observed on it in `gates`, and a `cohort`
derived from that set. The cohort is the batch it belongs in, because the
cohorts cost different things:

| Cohort | What the run needs |
| --- | --- |
| `open` | nobody. The only cohort that can run unattended. |
| `captcha` | a human at the keyboard for the whole run |
| `account` | credentials and an identity decision, made **before** the run |
| `account-captcha` | both of the above |
| `email-verify` | a mailbox watched while the run is going; tokens expire mid-batch |
| `reciprocal` | a change to the owner's own site — their decision, never yours |
| `personal-contact` | real name / phone / company email — also the owner's decision |

**Mixing cohorts in one run is what makes a batch stall.** The open rows finish
in minutes and then everything waits on a person nobody told to be there. Pick
one cohort, run it to the end, then pick the next.

```bash
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --stats                     # cohort x payment matrix
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --unattended --free-only    # the run needing nobody
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --cohort captcha --limit 40 # the next session
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --cohort account --format urls
```

Two details that are easy to get backwards. `captcha-passive` does **not** put a
target in the `captcha` cohort — it clears itself in an ordinary browser and
costs the run nothing; treating it as a challenge pushes open targets into the
queue that needs a person. And `--free-only` keeps `payment: "optional"`,
because a free listing behind a three-month queue is still free — it drops only
`required`.

`gate` (singular) remains the single answer to "what stops me here first",
ranked by **cost**, not by DOM order: a demand for a phone number outranks an
account, which outranks a CAPTCHA. All four values — `gates`, `gate`, `cohort`,
and the ban on `usable` when a human gate exists — are derived in one place,
`scripts/lib-cohort.mjs`, and the validator recomputes them. Deriving a cohort
by hand in a report is how a target reads `account` in the data and `open` in
the plan, which is worse than having no label at all.

## The three guards, each of which exists because it was needed

A generic form driver run across a directory list will, unsupervised, do worse
than nothing — a listing is a permanent public record, and the brand's official
mailbox is attached to it. All three were added after a real batch run did the
wrong thing:

1. **No URL field, no submission.** A directory submission always has one. A
   form without one is something else on the page, and that something else is
   usually a newsletter box — so the alternative to this check is subscribing
   the official address to strangers' mailing lists while reporting it as link
   building. The scorer picked exactly such a form on a live target.
2. **The submit control must read like one.** On another target the "submit
   labels" came back as four product names, meaning the scorer had found page
   buttons rather than the form's own action. A control whose label is not
   submit/send/add/post/next (or the CJK equivalents) is refused, not clicked.
3. **`requestSubmit()` is not a click.** Forms wired to a handler on the
   *button* ignore it, and the page then looks exactly as it does after a silent
   success. Click the real control and confirm against something other than the
   page text.

And the rule that outranks all three: **a generic driver classifies, it does not
certify.** Its `submitted` means the form was accepted, never that a listing
exists — that is `public`, and it needs the anchor seen on a live page.

## Building or extending the target library

```bash
# 1. someone's list → deduped leads
node scripts/third-party-list-ingest.mjs --input THEIR-LIST.md --out .backlink/leads.json

# 2. leads → reachability, real route, earliest gate, price on the page
node scripts/probe-submission-targets.mjs --input .backlink/leads.json \
  --out .backlink/probed.json --concurrency 12 --resume

# 3. fold in (paid rows route themselves into paid-platforms.json).
#    --dropped-out keeps every row the merge did not write, in full, with its
#    reason and evidence — re-probe from that file instead of losing the row.
node scripts/merge-submission-targets.mjs --probe .backlink/probed.json \
  --source-list 'where this came from' --dropped-out .backlink/dropped.json --dry-run

# 4. pick a batch and run it
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --cohort open --free-only
```

Step 2 is anonymous HTTP, so it is honest only about what **is** present. Rows it
cannot resolve come out `unverified` and need a browser or a human before they
mean anything; the merge keeps them out of the target table rather than letting
them pad a count — but **it does not throw them away**. Every dropped row is
printed in full and, with `--dropped-out`, written back out with its reason and
evidence, because `unverified` is a statement about **the probe**: a 403 from a
WAF, a timeout, and a domain that genuinely has no form all produce it. The same
listing covers the `usable` → `gated` downgrade, which the merge *derives* from
the gate set rather than observing, and therefore names as derived.

Since 2026-08-30 step 2 is split in two layers: the probe itself only fetches
and **dumps each domain's raw HTML into `<out>.evidence/<domain>.html`**; the
`status`/`gate`/`cohort`/`kind` on every row come from
`scripts/lib-probe-classifier.mjs` and are **suggestions** (`suggestedBy` on the
row, `suggested: true` inside the classifier output). When a row looks wrong —
a "usable" that gates on step 2, an "unknown" that is obviously a directory —
read the dumped HTML and overrule the suggestion; do not re-run the probe
hoping for a different regex outcome.
    • traffic-screen.md 19.1 KB 
      # The traffic screen: qualify a target before you fill its form

The qualifying test is **real traffic, not DR**, and it runs **before** the form
does. A directory with no measurable traffic cannot send a referral, cannot pass
a useful signal, and its DR is whatever its own network linked into it.

**Who does what is fixed: scripts collect, the AI judges, a human can re-check.**
The batch scripts produce evidence per domain — the measured raw value, a parse
status (`parsed` / `no-data-marker` / `none`), a raw-text excerpt, a screenshot
and full-text dump in `<out>.jsonl.evidence/`, and a `stopReason` saying how the
capture ended. They produce **no verdict**: whether a domain qualifies is
computed from the number at query time, and what an *absent* number means is a
judgment the AI makes by reading the evidence — never something a script bakes
into the data. A one-off mirror hiccup must stay re-checkable, not become a
permanent "fail" that silently kills a good target.

## The commands

```bash
# hundreds of domains, one login, ~5-10s each, resumable
node scripts/similarweb-batch.mjs --domains-file domains.txt --out sw.jsonl
node scripts/semrush-batch.mjs   --domains-file domains.txt --out sem.jsonl
# evidence lands next to the output: sw.jsonl.evidence/<domain>.png / .txt

# copy numbers + evidence paths into the table (repeatable --in; an incomplete
# row clears any stale same-source measurement instead of writing one)
node scripts/apply-traffic-screen.mjs --in sw.jsonl --source similarweb

# the threshold is computed here, from the measured number, at query time
node scripts/targets-select.mjs --cohort open --min-traffic 100
```

`traffic >= 100` monthly visits qualifies. That comparison lives in
`targets-select`'s filter, nowhere else — the data file stores measurements,
not conclusions. (`traffic.verdict` values still present in old rows are legacy:
historical script output, not measurement facts. Re-measuring replaces them;
`apply-traffic-screen --strip-legacy-verdicts` clears them wholesale.)

## Budget by quota, not by clock

Amortising the login gets a domain down to ~5s, which makes "a few hundred in
half an hour" look right. It is not: the panel's *API 今日配额* went from 13% to
100% at around domain 110, and every call after that timed out —
indistinguishable from a dead session, and the launcher's own error message
sends you off to change nodes.

Plan on **~120 domains per card per day**. Quota is per card, so when Similarweb
is spent, Semrush usually is not — switch and keep going, but record which one
measured each row. Similarweb reports *total visits* (global by default) and
Semrush reports *organic traffic* for whatever single country `--db` names (or
Semrush's own default if you omit it — never a global figure); those are not
the same number even before the geography difference, which is what
`traffic.source` exists for. Pass `--db` explicitly to `semrush-batch.mjs` when
comparing rows across a run, or the country underneath each `organicTraffic`
value is whatever Semrush happened to default to that day.

Both batch scripts break the circuit after 5 consecutive errors. Without it one
dead session burned 48 domains at 60s each before anyone noticed.

## "No data" and "timed out" are opposite evidence

**A domain the data source explicitly reports no data for is a completed
capture, not a tool failure** — the page rendered its own empty-state sentence,
and the row records `stopReason: empty-state` with `parse: no-data-marker`,
plus the screenshot and raw text in which the source said so. Whether that
means "below the measurement floor, effectively zero" is the **AI's judgment**,
made against that pair of witnesses — the script records the sentence, it does
not convert it into a conclusion.

**A timeout is not that evidence.** A slow render and a genuinely empty record
look identical at the moment the clock runs out, and they mean opposite things:
two directories with 2.4K and 4.6K organic visits were once written off as "no
traffic" by exactly that confusion. Timeouts and unstable reads are recorded as
`stopReason: timeout` / `unstable`, meaning *this check did not complete*;
resume retries them, and applying such a row **clears** any stale same-source
measurement it previously left on that domain — an incomplete capture must
never sit in the table impersonating one.

Before treating any row as "no data", be able to name the sentence in which the
source said so — it is in `rawExcerpt`, the `.txt` dump, and the screenshot.

## A rendered label is not a rendered number

These panels render metrics in **two beats**: first the label plus a placeholder
(`Authority Score` above a `0`, `总访问量` above a dash or the empty-state
sentence), then, seconds later, the real figure hydrates in. A readiness check
that fires on the label passes during the gap and reads the placeholder.

**It fails silently.** No error, no timeout — just a small or zero number that
travels all the way into a report. On 2026-08-23, `semrush-overview.mjs` over 8
domains returned `authorityScore: 0` for **6 of them**; the real values were 22,
29, 38, 15, 22, 26. The same beat cost `similarweb-batch.mjs` mmradar.gg, which
was written `below-floor` while actually serving 351,111 visits/mo.

The rule, for any script that scrapes a rendered number:

| Readiness judged on | Verdict |
|---|---|
| Page title / left-nav menu item | Wrong — present in the skeleton |
| The label (`Authority Score`, `总访问量`) | **Still wrong** — present before the value hydrates |
| **The value itself, identical across two consecutive reads** | Correct **for a value that is there** — see the limit below |

**Stability is a check on a value, not a licence to call an absence a result.**
Two identical reads of *nothing* is the normal picture for a page that loaded
`hidden` and for a route that never had a table at all; in both cases the check
passes and the run reports an emptiness that is not a fact about the domain. So
a stable **empty** parse needs the `visibilityState` triage below before it may
be recorded as a completed capture, while a stable non-empty value may be
written straight out.

`lib-tools-share.mjs` exports `captureStable({ read, fingerprint, timeoutMs,
intervalMs, needed, abortIf })` for exactly this. Fingerprint **every field you
are going to write out** — a fingerprint that watches A while the parser emits B
is not a stability check; the strongest form is to fingerprint the parser's own
output, which is what `semrush-report.mjs` does. Every other script that
scrapes a number goes through it (`--stable-interval` everywhere):

| Script | Fingerprint |
|---|---|
| `semrush-batch.mjs` | organic traffic + Authority Score |
| `similarweb-batch.mjs` | total visits + ranks, or the empty-state marker |
| `similarweb-query.mjs` | the report's own payload (metrics / channels / page text) **plus** the page's own rendered window label — a same-tab query can inherit the previous navigation's stale date range even though the new URL asked for a different one, so the window label is folded into the fingerprint rather than left out of what "stable" means |
| `semrush-report.mjs` | `spec.parse()`'s entire return value, all 6 reports |

`semrush-overview.mjs` (rewritten 2026-09-13) no longer goes through this
shared helper — its per-section readiness rule in `lib-semrush-overview.mjs`
is stricter: **each of the 23 sections** gets its own fingerprint that must
read stable twice **and** the page's network must be quiet in the same round
(CDP-captured `/dpa/rpc` sent count == resource-timing completed count, no
in-flight request, hook pending 0) before that section — and the whole page —
counts as done. See `SKILL.md`'s 「semrush-overview.mjs：整页抓取与完成判定」
subsection and `lib-semrush-overview.mjs` for the full state machine.

`abortIf` exists for states where waiting cannot help — the transient 「出错了」
page wants a reload, not a longer timeout, and without an early exit it burns
the whole budget first.

### Two identical reads is the floor, not the ceiling

Stability alone is **not sufficient**, because a placeholder is itself stable.
Live run, 2026-08-24, `semrush-batch.mjs` at its old defaults (settle 5s, 2s
interval, 40s cap): mmradar.gg came back `authorityScore: 0` again, and
na.whatismymmr.com / saveeditonline.com / vgcmulticalc.com were all written
`below-floor`. Real values: AS 22 / 29 / 38 / 22, traffic 22.3K / 2.9K / 175.7K
/ 16.9K. Two reads 2s apart both landed inside the same placeholder window.

Three rules came out of that run, and they are what makes the check hold:

| Rule | Why |
|---|---|
| **An all-null parse is never a result.** Keep polling; on timeout record `stopReason: timeout` | "Nothing parsed" and "nothing exists" are the same picture. This is what once turned three healthy sites into "no traffic" |
| **A self-contradictory parse needs ~6 reads, not 2.** Traffic > 0 with AS = 0 means AS has not hydrated (it lands after traffic) | A real 0 stays 0 for 18s; a placeholder flips |
| **Give the page room: settle 8s, poll 3s, cap 75s** | The old 5s/2s/40s budget could not outlast the placeholder window. ~25s per domain instead of ~16s |

After: 4/4 correct on the same domains, on both cards.

**Unstable is `stopReason: unstable`, never a number and never an empty-state
record.** If the values never settle, the run did not complete; say so and let
the resume retry it. The empty-state marker needs **three** consecutive reads,
not two, because it also shows up mid-hydration and `empty-state` is a
*completed* capture — resume never revisits it, so writing it off a hydration
flicker is permanent. An **empty parse** gets the same third read — but only
after you have ruled out the two failure shapes below, because a third read is
the wrong move for both of them.

### Read an empty table? Check `visibilityState` before you read again

There are **three** different things behind an empty parse, and re-reading only
fixes one of them. The first action after an empty read is to sample
`document.visibilityState` **inside the page, in the same eval as the data** —
not to read a third time.

| what you actually have | how you tell | what to do |
|---|---|---|
| **Not hydrated yet** | the read was taken under `visibilityState === 'hidden'` | a `visible` read is the cure; measured 0 cells hidden / 850 cells visible on the same route |
| **Class A — there was never a table** | **three consecutive reads under `visible`** still find zero table elements, charts only | re-reading is **wasted time**. The data exists as a chart, not a table; it needs a chart reader, and it is never a "no data" record |
| **Genuinely empty** | stable, `visible`, table present, zero rows | the empty state is the completed capture — what it *means* is judged from the evidence pair |

Never record a completed capture from a read taken while `hidden` — that read
is `inconclusive-hidden`, not an empty state and not "no data".

The measurements, the route lists, and the admissible-verdict protocol live in
one place: the `hidden-tabs-do-not-hydrate` law in this Skill's SKILL.md, which
is the authority. Read it before writing any readiness check, and extend it
there rather than growing a second account of the rule somewhere else.

The same beat governs **pagination**: the page-number indicator advances before
the table body swaps. Reading straight after the click yields the previous page's
rows, and row-level dedup then swallows them silently — five pages turned, twelve
new rows. `semrush-report.mjs --all-pages` now waits for a parse that is both
stable **and different from the previous page**, and when it cannot get one it
stops and says so: `pagination.complete: false` plus `stoppedBecause`, and a
`[truncated]` line on stderr. Silent truncation is the failure mode this Skill
bans outright.

Cost: two to three extra seconds per domain. That is the price of the number
being real.

## Scanning past a missing value invents one

Similarweb writes `-` for a metric it has no data for. The old `nextValue()`
scanned the eight lines after a label for anything matching `#?\s*[\d,]+`, with
no boundary and no whole-line anchor — so when the value was `-` it kept going
and grabbed a number from further down the page. Live, 2026-08-24:
na.whatismymmr.com reported `countryRank: 28` and `industryRank: 28`. The page
said `-` for all three ranks. The 28 came from **"Last 28 days (As of Aug 21)"**.

A site with 20K monthly visits ranked #28 in its country is absurd on its face,
which is the only reason it got caught. **A wrong number is worse than a missing
one** — it is not marked, not retried, and reads as data.

| Guard | Rule |
|---|---|
| Boundary | Stop at the next known label. Never scan into the following metric's block |
| Anchor | Match the **whole line** (`^#?[\d,]+$`), not a substring |
| Explicit empty | `-` / `—` / `N/A` means *this metric has no value*. Return null; do not keep looking |

`semrush-report.mjs` already had all three in its `pick()`. Similarweb did not,
because its parser had been **copied into two scripts** — so the fix had to land
twice and landed once. There is now exactly one copy, in `lib-similarweb.mjs`,
imported by both `similarweb-query.mjs` and `similarweb-batch.mjs`.

## Do not substitute a popularity list for measured traffic

Tranco's top-1M was tried as a cheap stand-in and failed on the labelled set:
**48 of the 73 known link-farm domains sat inside it**, spread from rank 134k to
998k, so no cutoff separates a farm from a small honest directory. Popularity
rank is fed by DNS resolutions and crawler requests — exactly the signals a
network manufactures for itself, the same reason DR is worthless here.

The general rule, which outlives this particular list: **validate a proposed
gate against known-bad domains, never against famous ones.** Recognising big
sites is not the problem a gate exists to solve.

Speed is not a reason to downgrade the metric. The panel login costs ~20s and
the query itself ~5s, so amortise the login across the batch (that is all
`similarweb-batch.mjs` does) instead of reaching for a weaker free signal.

## Three field signs that a batch is one link network

Any one of these means measure first:

- one site script across the batch, with field names identical to the character;
- a promotional sentence repeated **word for word** across dozens of domains — 
  similar pricing across a niche is a market, one sentence twenty times is a
  codebase;
- DR that exists while traffic does not.

## Why the order is not negotiable

One run filled every form across a 73-domain family and only then sampled five
of them for traffic: four returned no DR and no traffic at all, the fifth scored
bottom-tier with traffic down 89% in three months and a suspected penalty. Every
filled form was discarded.

Measuring a domain costs one query. Filling its form costs two orders of
magnitude more.

Submitting to N domains of one network buys **one** link's worth of value and
accrues **N times** the footprint, because the buyer's and the seller's link
graphs are the same graph. See [acquisition-doctrine.md](acquisition-doctrine.md)
§1.1 — and note that the doctrine's "post everywhere you can" was never a licence
to skip this: it governs topical irrelevance, and it always excluded link farms
in the same breath.

## Unmeasured is not qualified — and it is not unqualified either

The gate only works if rows without a measured number stay out of a batch
rather than being waved through. `targets-select.mjs --min-traffic` computes
the threshold from `traffic.monthlyVisits` at query time and excludes them by
design — but it reports them **separately on stderr as 未测/无数字, never as
failures**. A missing number has three possible causes (never measured, the
source printed its own empty state, the capture did not complete), they are
told apart by reading `traffic.evidence` (stopReason / screenshot / raw), and
that reading is the AI's or a human's job. `--unmeasured` lists these rows as
the next screening or review queue, never as a batch.

## 两家数字对不上，先问哪个问题

`traffic-crosscheck.mjs`（离线，吃一份 `semrush-traffic.mjs` 的 JSON 和一份
`similarweb-query.mjs --report performance` 的 JSON）**只出差值，不出判定**。
它给每个指标 `{semrush, similarweb, diff, diffUnit, diffBasis}`，两侧齐全标
`comparable: true`，缺一侧标 `comparable: false` 加缺值原因。没有 `verdict`

以前它有一张写死的分档表（visits ≤15% 判「一致」、>50% 判「冲突」，占比 5pp，
页数/访问 25%），那些阈值没有任何一次实测支撑，却被输出成看起来像测量结论的
字段，还让一次成功的采集被 CI 读成失败。判读现在在这里，按这个顺序问：

- **平均访问时长永远不并列。** 两家对「一次访问」的定义不同，实测差 86%

`noDataTextObserved: true`（Similarweb 侧页面正面渲染了「没有此网站的数据」

落成 `comparable: false`，并在 `caveats` 里说明这句话是什么。它意味着「低于

If repeated CDP clicks (tried up to 4x plus a fresh tab/session) still do not register, fall back to invoking the button's own React handler directly and treat it as equivalent to a real click (it calls the exact same function a trusted click would): `opencli browser <session> eval '(() => { const b = [...document.querySelectorAll(\"button\")].find(x => x.textContent.trim() === \"<exact button text>\"); const k = Object.keys(b).find(k => k.startsWith(\"__reactProps\")); b[k].onClick(); return \"invoked\"; })()'`. This was needed for the entire 3rd submission (Better Call Saul) — a brand-new tab/session did not fix it, so it is not simply tab staleness; cause not fully root-caused (possibly load on the extension/CDP bridge, or a page-side listener race). `opencli` itself sometimes self-detects this and falls back to `click_method:'js'` internally for some elements (observed once on the pricing radio's label) but not consistently for the wizard's primary CTA buttons — do not assume the tool's own fallback covers you; always verify state after every click in this wizard.",

 * harvest.browser.js — 登录态后台表格提取器（贴进浏览器代码执行工具运行）
 *
 * ⚠️ **首选不再是这个文件：先用 `scripts/ground-truth.mjs`。**（2026-08-30 第三波）
 *
 *   ground-truth.mjs 已经覆盖了这里最要紧的那部分能力，而且做得更严：
 *   穿透 shadow DOM 的读数（`lib-deep-dom.mjs`，实测 44 个 shadow root）、
 *   自动定位内层滚动容器、逐屏滚动、**每个停留位置配一张截图**（双证人）、
 *   manifest + stopReason、机器级工具锁、落点自检（hijack 检测）、
 *   落盘前剥敏。本文件一样都没有：它只有 DOM 一个证人，没有 manifest，
 *   靠人手工贴代码和轮询，出了错没有现场。
 *
 *   **本文件保留供参考，不删。** 它仍然是唯一记着「虚拟滚动网格怎么按 Y 坐标
 *   重建行」和「数据怎么出沙箱」这两件事的地方（见下面第 2、6 条），
 *   ground-truth.mjs 的 census 给的是单元格计数与样本，不是可导出的整表 CSV。
 *   真需要把一张几千行的表原样导出时再回来用它，并且自己补截图。
 *
 * 必须在**用户的真实浏览器**里跑（有登录态那个）。隔离的预览浏览器只会看到登录页。
 *
 * ── 快速上手 ───────────────────────────────────────────────────────────
 *   HARVEST.init()                    // 定位滚动容器；每次切页/切报表后重调
 *   HARVEST.start()                   // 抓当前页（**不要 await**）
 *   HARVEST.status()                  // 隔几秒轮询
 *   HARVEST.save('scope', 'type')     // 导出到下载目录
 *
 *   // 批量：
 *   HARVEST.crawl([{ name:'a', seed:'scope', type:'a', hash:'#/path?x=1' }])
 *   HARVEST.log                       // 轮询进度
 *
 * ── 为什么不用更简单的写法（都试过，都不行）────────────────────────────
 *  1. 没有 <table>/<tr>/role="row"：现代数据网格是虚拟滚动 + 列式 div。
 *     只能按 getBoundingClientRect 的 Y 坐标聚类重建行。
 *  2. 行锚点不能用行号列：实测 100 行会漏 23 行（行号与其它单元格偶尔落进不同 Y 分桶）。
 *     用内容主列做锚点再收同一 Y ±11px 的单元格，才 100%。
 *  3. 扫描必须限定在滚动容器内：整个 document 扫 div,span,a 单次约 2s，
 *     滚动循环几十次直接爆执行超时；TreeWalker + 限定容器实测 6ms（快 300 倍）。
 *  4. 列位不能写死：同一后台不同报表列序不同，写死 x 区间换张表就错位 → 默认用 grabAny。
 *  5. 长循环不能 await：执行工具单次常有 45s 超时，**但超时的是传输通道，页面里还在跑**。
 *     超时后回查全局变量往往发现早就干完了。误判成失败去重跑 = 产生重复文件。
 *  6. 数据出不了沙箱：返回值约 1KB 截断；clipboard 报 NotAllowedError: Document is not
 *     focused 并卡死执行通道。**Blob + <a download> 是唯一稳的高带宽出口。**
 *  7. 后台标签不 mount 虚拟表格：`location.hash` 导航后若标签隐藏，init() 拿不到滚动容器
 *     （实测连续多个目标全失败）。每次导航后必须让该标签**前台化一次**（截图即可）。
 *     且后台定时器节流约 2.4×（setTimeout 1000ms 实测 2403ms）——多开约 1.5–2× 收益，不是 N×。

    # Contributing to the backlink Skill

This Skill is an open, shared database of **places where a link can actually be
published**, split into free channels and paid platforms. Pull requests are
welcome and are the point — one person can only verify so many channels, and
this genre decays fast enough that a list nobody maintains is worse than no list
at all.

Please read the one rule below before anything else.

## The one rule: record what you observed, never what you assume

The only thing that makes this database worth more than the dozens of
copy-pasted "500 free backlink sites" lists is that **every row here was seen in
a live page**. The moment unverified entries get in, and nobody can tell which
rows are observation and which are guesswork, the whole table's value does not
shrink — it goes to zero.

So: **a real entry rejected is a small loss; an unverified entry accepted is a
large one.** When you are not sure, open a PR with `status: "unverified"` and
say what you could not check. That is a genuinely useful contribution.

Concretely, do not write:

- a `rel` value you did not read out of the DOM;
- `indexable: true` without having looked at the `robots` meta **and** the
  `X-Robots-Tag` response header of the page carrying the link;
- "works / dead / no anchor" based only on `curl`. Many sites are
  client-rendered, and others answer 403 to scripted requests while serving
  browsers normally. **Plain HTTP can confirm that something IS present; it can
  never confirm that something is absent.** Negative claims need browser
  evidence, and the validator enforces this.

**The reverse trap exists too, so do not treat the browser as strictly better.**
A submission page can render with real fields, no visible login text and no
CAPTCHA badge anywhere in the DOM, and still be gated by an **invisible CAPTCHA
whose site key is only present as a string in the raw HTML** — inspecting the
rendered page misses it entirely. One sweep found exactly this on a page that
looked wide open. So the two methods catch different failures and neither
subsumes the other:

- grep the **raw HTML** for `recaptcha`, `hcaptcha`, `turnstile`, and
  `sitekey` — this catches invisible gating that rendering hides;
- **also grep for old-school CAPTCHA field names** — `name="CAPTCHA"`,
  `name="IMAGEHASH"`, `security_code`, `vercode`. A classic server-rendered
  image CAPTCHA loads no third-party script at all, so a service-name search
  returns clean on it. Measured: three sites running one legacy PHP directory
  script all returned `false` for recaptcha/hcaptcha/turnstile, yet two of them
  carried `IMAGEHASH` + `CAPTCHA` fields. Searching only for the modern services
  would have recorded both as open;
- use the **browser** to confirm anything absent, anything client-rendered,
  and the state of a form's later steps.

Related: when scanning visible text for a login wall or a price, **strip
`<script>` blocks first**. Minified JS is full of `$` and of words like
"signin", and matching against it produces confident false positives.

**HTTP 200 does not mean the channel is alive.** Domains get repurposed: one
sweep found former directories still serving 200 while now being a crypto
referral page, an unrelated consulting site, or someone's blog. Judge status on
what the page actually *is*, not on the status code — those are `dead`, and
recording them as reachable would keep a worthless row alive forever.

**A multi-step form is only verified as far as you actually walked it.** A first
step with no wall says nothing about step two, and a step literally named
something like "submission type" is usually where the free/paid choice lives.
Record such a channel as `unverified`, not `live`.

**Records go stale the same way lists elsewhere do.** If a real submission run
shows a field here no longer matches what you actually saw — a gate appeared
that the record doesn't list, a `captcha` value that was `none` now challenges
you, a `payment` that was free now gates the useful path — fixing the record is
part of finishing that run, not a separate task for later. See
`fix-data-on-mismatch` in `SKILL.md` and the write-back section of
`references/directory-run-playbook.md`.

## What a good contribution looks like

Ranked by how much they help:

1. **A trap.** A failure mode that produces a *plausible but wrong* result — a
   form that returns HTTP 200 and saves nothing, an editor whose value must be
   set through its own API, a bot check that only instantiates on submit. These
   save other people entire wasted campaigns. Adding one trap to an existing
   record beats adding a new record.
2. **A status correction.** A channel that died, started requiring an account,
   added a CAPTCHA, or went `noindex`. Decay is the main way this database goes
   wrong, and you are the only one who will notice.
3. **A verified new channel**, with evidence.
4. **A price check** on a paid platform, with the date you checked.

## How to submit

```bash
git clone https://github.com/yan-labs/yan-skills
cd yan-skills/backlink

# edit data/free-channels.json or data/paid-platforms.json

node scripts/validate-data.mjs      # must pass — CI runs exactly this
```

Then open a PR. In the description, say **how you verified it** — browser or
HTTP, what you saw, and ideally a link to a live page carrying a real
placement. A PR that adds rows without saying how they were checked will be
asked for that before anything else.

One channel or one correction per PR where practical. It keeps review honest.

### Never commit

- `.env`, tokens, cookies, session identifiers, or any credential. The
  repository ignores `*/.env`; do not work around that.
- Your own client's or employer's domain in `data/paid-platforms.json` — the
  registry merge script takes `--exclude-subject` for exactly this reason.
- Scraped personal data, or private URLs that were never meant to be public.

## Data model

Four files, four purposes. All live in `data/`, all have a JSON Schema in
`data/schema/`, and all are checked by `scripts/validate-data.mjs`.

### `data/free-channels.json` — publish at no cost

The fields that carry the weight:

| Field | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| `account` | `none` is the whole reason this file exists. Note that **"free" and "no registration" are different claims** — platforms conflate them, and at least one advertises a $0 fee behind a submit button that is literally labelled *Login*. That is `account: "required"`, not `"none"`. |
| `captcha` | `passive` clears itself in an ordinary browser with no user action. `interactive` means a real challenge; those are recorded as rejected. **This project does not solve or bypass CAPTCHAs.** |
| `anchorRendered` | Some platforms publish your URL as a plain text node. Those are worth nothing. Record `false` — do not omit the field and do not quietly drop the channel. |
| `relObserved` | The exact strings from the DOM. An empty string in the array means an anchor with no `rel` at all, i.e. dofollow. Omit the field entirely if you never checked. |
| `robotsObserved` | The exact `robots` meta content, or `null` when the tag is absent (absent means indexable). A page that links to you but cannot be indexed is not a win. |
| `scope` | `engine` means one codebase across many independent hosts. Engine records describe **mechanics only**. Per-host settings — `robots`, anti-bot questions, moderation — must be probed per host. A single-host sample once produced exactly the wrong generalisation here, so the validator rejects `scope: "engine"` combined with `indexable: true`. |
| `traps` | The highest-value field. See above. |
| `status` | `live` / `changed` / `dead` / `rejected` / `unverified`. `rejected` means it technically works but is disqualified — always give a `rejectReason`. |
| `lastVerifiedAt` | Anything `live` and older than 180 days gets a staleness warning. Re-verify or downgrade to `unverified`; do not just bump the date. |

**Dead records stay.** Set `status: "dead"` rather than deleting the row, and
never reuse an `id` for a different channel — the history would then point at
the wrong thing. The validator enforces id uniqueness.

### `data/submission-targets.json` — a route exists, nothing was published yet

This is the **first-pass library**, and it is deliberately a weaker claim than
`free-channels.json`. A row here says one thing: *somebody reached a submission
route on this domain and read what stands in front of it.* It says nothing about
`rel`, about whether an anchor is rendered, or about indexability — the validator
**rejects** those fields on this table, because a row that quietly acquires them
is a row that has started lying.

| Field | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| `gates` | **Every** gate observed, not just the first. A site can want an account and a CAPTCHA and an email confirmation; recording one of the three hides two thirds of what a submission costs. |
| `gate` | The one of `gates` that stops you first, ranked by **cost** — `personal-contact` > `reciprocal` > `account` > `captcha-interactive`. Not DOM order. |
| `cohort` | Which batch this belongs in, derived from `gates`. Campaigns are planned per cohort: `open` needs nobody present, `captcha` needs a human at the keyboard, `account` needs an identity decision up front. Mixing cohorts in one run is what makes a batch stall. |
| `status` | `usable` = route plus a form, no human-only gate. `gated` = route exists, a human must clear it. `unverified` = plain HTTP could not tell. `dead` = observed to be something else now. |
| `payment` | `optional` is the common and useful case: free listing behind a months-long queue, paid for fast-track. Record what the free path actually costs you in `notes`. |
| `evidence.finalUrl` | The only thing that catches a repurposed domain. A former directory still answering 200 from a crypto page is `dead`, and the status code alone will never tell you. |

`gates`, `gate` and `cohort` are **derived, never hand-written**: use
`cohortOf()` / `primaryGate()` from `scripts/lib-cohort.mjs`, and the validator
recomputes both and fails on a mismatch. Four hand-derivations produce four
answers, and a target that reads `account` in the data while a plan calls it
`open` is worse than an unlabelled row — somebody schedules a batch around it.

**Rows graduate.** The moment an actual anchor is observed on a live page, write
the channel into `free-channels.json` with its `relObserved` and
`anchorRendered`. Until then it stays here.

**Nothing is excluded for being low-quality.** Low DR, obscure, off-topic, and
ancient are all fine — those rank a target, they never disqualify one. See
[references/acquisition-doctrine.md](references/acquisition-doctrine.md). The
only exclusions are: unreachable, no route, or repurposed.

### `data/paid-platforms.json` — observed paid placement

This one is generated and merged by `scripts/paid-platform-registry.mjs` from
real backlink profiles, then annotated by hand. The column that matters is
`observedSites` — how many independent sites were seen placing links there.
A platform that keeps reappearing across unrelated subjects is one that is
actually being used; a platform seen once is an anecdote.

Tiers: `paid-listing` (a real directory charging a listing fee) ·
`link-package` (the offer is stated **in link count**) · `free-with-account` ·
`spam-net` (**blacklist**) · `not-a-platform` (a sitewide widget, genuine
editorial coverage, or an injection — big numbers, not an opportunity) ·
`unverified` (the default).

There are **two** admissible kinds of evidence here, and they are not the same
observation. `observedSites` records *who was seen buying* — the stronger signal,
and the reason this table exists. `observedPrice` records *what the platform
itself charges*, read off its own page; it needs `sourceUrl`, `checkedAt`, and a
`what` sentence. A row with neither is a rumour and the validator rejects it.
Do not fill `observedSites` with a site you did not actually see placed there in
order to get a priced row in — that corrupts the stronger signal to satisfy the
weaker one.

Never infer a price. Open the pricing page, fill in `price`, and fill in
`priceCheckedAt` — the validator requires the date, because a price without one
gets quoted as current long after it stops being true.

**Recording is not recommending.** This file exists so the decision is
*informed*. Whether to buy is the site owner's call. Do not relabel a
`link-package` as a "directory submission" to make it sound acceptable.

### `data/index-submission.json` — hand a URL to an engine, get no link

**Nothing in this file is a backlink.** These are index-submission endpoints:
you give a search engine a URL and receive a confirmation string. They earn a
place in a backlink Skill because the verify stage's `indexed` state never said
*whose* index, and because an engine outside the IndexNow membership receives
nothing from the usual automated push — so its pages have to be handed over by
hand.

Do not merge a row of this into `free-channels.json` to make the channel list
look longer. That file's contract is *a place that publishes a link*, and
`anchorRendered` / `relObserved` have no meaning here.

| Field | Why it matters |
| --- | --- |
| `independentIndex` + `indexNowMember` | Together they are the reason a row exists. An engine already covered by IndexNow, with no crawler of its own, needs no manual submission — the validator rejects that combination outright, because such a record invents work that accomplishes nothing. |
| `batch` | `false` means the cost of a site-wide submission is linear in page count. Say the number out loud before starting; 38 pages is 38 operations. |
| `aiGrounding` | The GEO argument, and the field most likely to rot into folklore. Record only what the operator publishes about its own index, with the URL that says it. **Never** record "assistant X uses index Y" — those pairings change quietly and are rarely confirmed by either party. |
| `traps` | Same role as in `free-channels.json`. Passive human checks are the recurring theme: one form ignores a synthesised `click()` entirely because the check demands a trusted event. Documenting that is not a bypass — the check still runs and clears itself, or the channel is rejected. |
| `evidence.what` | Say how many submissions were individually re-read. A campaign that confirmed 12 of 38 says 12 of 38; rounding that up to "all confirmed" is the exact failure this project exists to prevent. |

## Scope and conduct

Contributions are declined, regardless of technical merit, for: link farms and
auto-generated link networks; adult or malware surfaces; anything requiring a
CAPTCHA, login, paywall, or quota to be bypassed; hidden or cloaked links; and
channels whose live content is saturated with spam — that last one is a safety
judgement, and it is only visible if you read the neighbourhood before adding
the row.

Placement content is expected to be genuine and specific to the page it sits
on. Bulk-identical comments get deleted by moderators in batches, which wastes
the channel for everyone who comes after you. That is a practical argument, not
a moral one, and it is why these records track *mechanics* rather than supplying
templates to blast.

<skill name="backlink" version="3.3" body-format="xml">

<why-xml>
The frontmatter above stays YAML because the Skill loader reads it for
discovery. Everything below is XML because this Skill is mostly laws and
routing, and a law that is easy to skim past is a law that gets broken. Tagged
blocks make "which rule did I just violate" answerable by name.
</why-xml>

<mission>
One business Skill for the complete backlink lifecycle. Do not split it back
apart, and do not create another browser-extension Skill — OpenCLI and its
Chrome extension are the connector underneath this Skill, never a separate
business workflow.

Two former Skills were merged in on 2026-08-16 and deleted: `backlink-analyzer`
(analysis templates, toxicity rubric, outreach — now in three references under
its original Apache-2.0 licence) and `browser-harvest` (pulling tables out of
logged-in dashboards — now <ref file="references/harvest.md"/>). The harvest
knowledge is general-purpose: ad platforms, e-commerce backends, any no-API
SaaS report. When a harvesting task has nothing to do with links, load this
Skill anyway and read that one reference.

<routing>
<summary>Match the ask to a starting point. When two rows fit, take the lower one — it is more specific.</summary>

<plain-language-index>
<why>
The `route` rows below are written for someone who already knows what this
Skill contains. **Real asks do not arrive in that shape.** They arrive as one
vague Chinese sentence, from a user who has never seen this file and does not
know that 64 platform pages or 40-odd scripts exist. This table is the
intent→capability index for that sentence: left column is what the user
actually says, right column is the ONE place to open first. Read the whole
table before deciding "this Skill can't do that" — the answer is usually a
file the user could not have named.
</why>
<how-to-read>
One row = one starting point, not a recipe. Open it, then follow its own
pointers. Rows are grouped; within a group the later row is the more specific.

<summary>
`$backlink → scripts and policy → OpenCLI → the owner's authorized Chrome → website`

Every script here shells out to the `opencli` binary, which drives the owner's
own logged-in Chrome through the OpenCLI extension. No Playwright, no headless
instance, no remote runtime. That identity is the entire reason this Skill
exists, and it is why the laws below matter.

**Read <ref file="references/browser-runtime.md"/> before any browser work.** The
detailed laws, the measurements behind them, the two other drivers and what they
cost, and the ordered checklist for diagnosing "something stole my tab" now live in
the `opencli` Skill — that file points at the exact reference for each, and keeps the
backlink-specific residue (`scripts/opencli-core.mjs`, subagent session fan-out).
Load `/opencli` when you need the detail: `npx skills add yan-labs/yan-skills --skill opencli -g -y`.
</summary>

<default-driver>
OpenCLI is the default for **everything**, including a quick ad-hoc look at one
page. It reaches the owner's Chrome through an extension plus a local daemon,
and because it is a CLI, any agent runtime that can run a shell command gets the
identical capability — Claude Code, Codex, anything else. Work done through a
runtime-specific tool cannot be replayed from a script or from another agent
later, which defeats the reason this Skill has scripts.

Use an existing OpenCLI adapter first. When no adapter exists, use a named
browser session with DOM/network inspection.
</default-driver>

<law id="one-session-one-tab" weight="load-bearing">
<statement>
`opencli browser &lt;session&gt;` is a one-page abstraction. **A session name owns
exactly one tab.** Different names never steal from, switch, or pollute each
other. So N pages need N session names.
</statement>
<why>
This inverts the intuition most people arrive with, which is why it is stated
first. Measured 2026-08-21 under three concurrent agents: distinct session names
produced **zero** cross-agent thefts across 4 rounds × 3 pages; three agents
sharing the name `work` produced 3, 12, and 2 thefts, one of them missing on
every check it made. Re-confirmed the same day against this Skill as written:
three agents told only to follow it scored **36/36 clean with zero leaked
tabs**.

<law id="tools-share-is-a-global-mutex" weight="load-bearing">
<statement>
Unique session names buy you concurrent **tabs**, not concurrent **Tools Share
work**. Every script that goes through `lib-tools-share.mjs` first takes
`yan-tools-share-&lt;tool&gt;.lock` — a **machine-wide mutex, one per tool, shared
across every Claude session on the box**. So at any moment exactly one process
on this machine can drive Semrush, and exactly one can drive Similarweb.
**Dispatching N agents at the same tool does not parallelise it. It builds a
queue with a 600-second timeout at the end.**
</statement>
<why>
Measured 2026-08-28. Three Semrush agents were dispatched in parallel on the
assumption that distinct session names made them independent. They did not run
concurrently: one of them sat waiting **56 minutes** and produced nothing, while
a second machine-local Claude session — working in a different repo entirely —
competed for the same lock. The lock itself is correct and should stay: Tools
Share meters concurrency per account, and a real Chrome is not a real human's
pacing. What was missing is that its **scheduling consequence** lived only in a
code comment, where a planner never reads it.
</why>
<correct><![CDATA[
There are TWO separate limits, and hitting either one looks like "the page is
just sitting there". Respect both.

  (1) This lock — one process per tool per machine, account-level concurrency.
  (2) Tab-load concurrency — measured 2026-08-28: roughly THREE Semrush tabs
      loading at once is enough to break it. That one is not this lock's job.

For (2) the opencli Skill prescribes the opposite of unique session names:
a quota site gets ONE fixed session name with no per-agent suffix, e.g.

  semrush-nav        similarweb-nav

Ten agents handed the same name get queued by the daemon, and the site only
ever sees a single tab paging through. See the opencli Skill's
"配额站：法律 1 的唯一例外". Unique names remain correct everywhere else.

Then serialise the work itself, one agent at a time per tool:
  agent A -> Semrush routes      (holds the semrush lock, start to finish)
  agent B -> Similarweb features (different lock, may still queue behind others)
  agent C -> offline work        (parsers, fixtures, docs — no lock at all)

Before dispatching, check who holds it:
  cat "$TMPDIR"/yan-tools-share-semrush.lock/owner.json   # {"pid":...,"startedAt":...}
  ps -p <pid> -o etime=,command=                          # dead pid = stale lock
]]></correct>
<wrong><![CDATA[
Three agents each told "use session name sweep-1 / sweep-2 / sweep-3, go".
On a quota site the names are NOT fine — distinct names set the concurrency to
the agent count, which is how 19 tm-* tabs ended up loading the same Semrush
report at once on 2026-08-28. And the lock is not fine either: two agents burn
their budget waiting, while a retry loop that re-attempts every 30s makes the
contention worse. The first move when you hit the ceiling is `close`, not
`sleep` — retrying just opens another tab.
]]></wrong>
</law>

<law id="no-multi-tab-api" weight="load-bearing">
<statement>
Do not use `tab new`, `tab select`, or `open --tab` to hold several pages under
one session. All three fail, and every one fails **silently** — the command
reports success and the next read returns the wrong page.
</statement>
<why>
Measured 2026-08-21 on opencli 1.8.6: a session tracks only its newest tab, so
earlier ids drop out of `tab list`; `tab select` returns success with no effect
on reads; `open --tab &lt;id&gt;` opens a **new** tab and leaves the named one
untouched; and `get` does not accept `--tab` at all, so a run using `get url` to
confirm its position cannot be right about it. One three-agent run took the
owner's Chrome from 11 tabs to 30 orphans.
</why>
<instead>
`--tab` works on `open`, `state`, `extract`, `find`, and `click`. When a read
must name its target, use `state --tab &lt;id&gt;`.

**Read this next sentence before you over-correct.** Under
<law-ref id="one-session-one-tab"/> a session owns exactly one page, so there is
nothing to disambiguate and **plain `get url` is safe and is the simplest
confirmation read**. The objection above is only about sessions holding several
pages. Three testers each flagged this as the passage most likely to be
misread — one of them nearly threaded a `--tab` id through the whole job to
obey a rule that did not apply.

<confirm-identity>
The canonical check after every navigation, and the one Law 4 exists to make
possible:
<cmd><![CDATA[
opencli browser "$S" get url    # one page per session: safe
opencli browser "$S" state      # same, plus title + elements (AX snapshot by default)
]]></cmd>
</confirm-identity>
</instead>
</law>

<law id="no-literal-session-name">
<statement>
Never write a literal session name as a default. In JS use
`defaultSession(base)` from `scripts/opencli-core.mjs`; in shell use a
**descriptive constant** (`backlink-probe-cn`, `bing-check-mysite`) — NOT
`$$`. Measured 2026-08-28: in Claude Code's Bash tool every call is a new
process, so `$$` differs each time; one probe produced 14 distinct sessions
and 14 tabs, each abandoning the page the last one opened. `$$` is safe only
inside a single Node process that runs start to finish.

The one exception is a **quota site** (see the quota-site rule below): there
the fixed literal IS the answer, because the session name is what caps
concurrency. `resolveSession(flags, base, siteKey)` handles both cases.
</statement>
<why>
"Another task stole my tab" is never the CLI round-robining — it is always two
tasks that picked the same name. The commonest source is documentation:
`opencli browser --help` opens with `opencli browser work open https://x.com`,
so every agent copying the example lands on `work`. This Skill caused the same
failure itself when `tools-share-open.mjs` defaulted to `backlink-panel`.
</why>
<code><![CDATA[
const session = flags.session ? validateSession(flags.session) : defaultSession('backlink-work');
]]></code>
<subagent-trap>
Subagents inherit the parent's environment, so several agents spawned inside one
conversation resolve to the same default. When fanning browser work across
parallel agents, give each an explicit `--session` or a distinct
`OPENCLI_SESSION_SUFFIX`.
</subagent-trap>
<naming>
Make names **describe the work**: `backlink-probe-&lt;suffix&gt;` beats `bl-1`. The
session name is the primary identifier. With the custom extension build
(PR #2316), the Chrome tab group now shows active session names
(`OpenCLI: session-a, session-b`), making groups distinguishable.
