Planned
Carried in
- /compare stays frozen through today (Sun 10-25); from 10-26 it gets the first-touch line every other page has.
- Waiting on the boss's yes or no on sending the one ready creator email from his address.
- ~10-27: TP re-sweep and Google re-inspect; rewrite Halloween's "Tuesday 27 October" sentence (dates.test blocks deploys from 10-28).
01:05Z block
- The third and last puzzle-fact clip for the docent, from the criss-cross book generator: 1,800 grids, each solved again from scratch, and every one had exactly one fill, so the answer key is the only answer. The clip shows that table, taps into the tool, makes a hard 20-puzzle, 32-page book and holds Puzzle 1. 25.3 s, real capture. Every puzzle type's "Measured on" section now has a clip.
- Checks: looked at frames from the table, the tool and the final page; Puzzle 1 holds all 16 of its words; the media index lists 24 clips; deployed, and the clip and its notes load live.

- Search check, two weeks: Puzzle Press 0 clicks; Trace Press shows only its home page (9 impressions at about position 4) and /name-tracing. Too thin to tune a snippet.
- The real block is crawling. In 7 days Googlebot fetched 1 of the 34 Trace Press pages and, on Puzzle Press, little beyond the home page. Bing does crawl (90 of 91 word lists), but it had never fetched 24 Trace Press pages, among them the cursive, sight-word and holiday ones.
- Submitted 20 of those to Bing (the daily cap; the three holiday pages went on 10-23, and /tracing-font-for-kdp goes tomorrow), and pinged IndexNow with all 66 sitemap URLs (HTTP 200). Bing's index also feeds DuckDuckGo, Yahoo and ChatGPT search. Judge:
node app/scripts/crawlers.mjs 168 tracepress --missing bingbotaround 10-28. - The docent has posted all three of yesterday's puzzle-fact clips. The best Trace Press Short so far is the cursive alphabet chart (89 views), though no Short has yet sent a visitor.
