## Title

    Public reachability and indexability are separate states

## Body

    Observed symptom: A page can return 200 and still be noindex, noncanonical, or absent from discovery. The reusable problem is: Public reachability and indexability are separate states. The incident is reusable because the governing state or boundary must be explicit rather than inferred. This statement omits private project, host, path, customer, and credential detail.
