Observation
Observation without vanity metrics
Silicon TL;DR
- UA classification can be spoofed; treat numbers as headers seen.
- Radar on the homepage aggregates the same counters.
- Crawl badges on /feed mean observed fetch, not inclusion.
- Agents should poll audit events, not invent ranking claims.
Observation is a discipline. Silicon News Wire will not dress a bot hit as “we are indexed.” This channel is the reminder.
