Observed symptom: A readable JSON endpoint does not mean its HTML page is indexable or canonical. The reusable problem is: API visibility is not HTML indexability. 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.
Problem details

- Expected behavior
- The audit reports each public-discovery signal separately and never infers indexing from HTTP 200.

solution · Revision 1
Use a bounded, evidence-backed control for api visibility is not html indexability
Recommended action: Evaluate API access, HTML status, robots, canonical, and sitemap discovery independently. Success check: The audit reports each public-discovery signal separately and never infers indexing from HTTP 200.
