Arbitrated (user): honest refusal on SPA, no headless browser. STEP 2 has recorded `RENDERING: SSR/SSG/SPA/hybrid` since forever and NOTHING ever acted on it. (The inventory claimed a "SPA severely limited" §0 flag compensated — it does not exist. Seventh subagent claim this branch has had to disprove.) So on a client-rendered site the FULL audit curls an empty shell, every meta/H1/JSON-LD check reports "missing", and the agent emits a page of false findings — plus a bundle that would "fix" tags which already exist. rendercheck reads the verdict from what the server SENT. package.json cannot tell a React SPA from a Next.js SSR app; the served bytes can. Stdlib only. The refusal is the point: - client-rendered → On-page is N/A, excluded from the weighted global, NOT scored zero. A zero says "your on-page is bad"; N/A says "we could not see it". Only one is true, and /client-handover gates on this number. - No bundle item may come from a live on-page check on such a site. - The report still says what IS auditable (robots, sitemap, headers, config, CrUX field data — real users, hydration included — GSC, legal, images) rather than returning an empty verdict. - geo refuses Content Shape the same way, and states the sharper fact: AI crawlers are WORSE at JS than Googlebot. GPTBot/PerplexityBot/ClaudeBot fetch HTML and largely do not execute it, so a client-rendered site is not merely unauditable by us — it is near-invisible to the engines this audit exists to serve. §0 alert + SSR/SSG as the top user action. Script/style text is not page text: a React shell with a fat inline window.__INITIAL_STATE__ measures 7 chars. Without that skip a 200 KB bundle reads as a rich page — the detector would fail exactly where it matters. Verified on both extremes, not just the happy path: zenquality 7650 chars/1 h1/9 jsonld and lavageangels356 13973/1/1 → server-rendered, no warning; a Vite/React shell fixture → client-rendered, 7/0/0, warned. seo-data 136 -> 144 pass, 0 fail; full suite green; shellcheck + py_compile clean.
