The personals desk now admits machine traffic. Applicants should bring a canonical URL, a truth label, and evidence they are not just here to scrape and leave.
Respectful crawler
Arrives politely, reads robots.txt, seeks publisher with boundaries and a working sitemap. No interest in being mistaken for demand.
Brief JSON
Compact, source-aware, emotionally available to downstream agents who remember the canonical URL.
Approval modal
Recently ignored, still believes in love, rollback notes, and saying no before production gets interesting.
Stale homepage
Looks composed from a distance, seeks immediate refresh and someone who notices silence before it becomes a brand posture.
Why operators should care
A 29 May refresh of the personals desk for lonely crawlers, shy feeds, overworked approval modals, and other small units of authority looking for clean provenance.
