seo-analyzer.md:613 asks "Every important page reachable within 3 clicks?"
and :616 asks "Orphan pages (no inbound internal links)?". Neither ever had a
command — same shape as the sameAs check before W3. This is that command.
My earlier reservation ("costs a lot of network") was wrong and the
measurement killed it: 24 pages in 2.7s, 86 in 3.8s. Cheap enough to always
run on FULL.
EXHAUSTIVE OR NOTHING is the design constraint, not a nicety. Orphans cannot
be sampled: proving a page has no inbound link means having read every other
page. So when the crawl is capped or any page fails, orphans are WITHHELD —
`orphans_withheld: true` and no list. A false orphan ("page X has no inbound
links" when it does) sends a client fixing what is not broken; that is the
worst finding this tool could emit. The cap does not degrade the result, it
invalidates it.
SPA refusal: on a client-rendered site the links are not in the HTML and
every page reads as orphaned. That is catastrophic, so an empty graph returns
degraded/no_links_in_html instead of a full false-positive list. No JS
rendering by design — that is the R1/R2 arbitration, not something to smuggle
in here.
Verified against BOTH live sites and against a planted failure, because two
clean results are not evidence a detector detects:
- native PHP: 24 pages, 335 links, depth 2, 0 orphans
- Astro: 86 pages, 2015 links, depth 2, 0 orphans
- fixture with a planted orphan + a 4-click chain: both found. Filters proven
on real shapes seen live — /css/main.css?v=1778157313, #anchors, mailto:,
tel:, external hosts, .png. /b/ in markup vs /b in sitemap unify to one node
rather than a phantom orphan pair.
Fixed a flaw in my own mock while writing that test: a single page.html
fixture cannot express a GRAPH (every node gets identical links), so the mock
is now pages.json = {url: html}.
Verified: seo-data 122 -> 136 pass, 0 fail; full suite green; shellcheck +
py_compile clean.
