Automated scheduled task run: broken-links-scanner for aguiarinjurylawyers.com. Daily broken-links scan covering full sitemap crawl + targeted key-page checks + external link extraction + re-verification of all carry-over open issues. Session ran with no interactive user; all decisions made autonomously per task spec and SKILL-PRELOAD-AND-DRIFT-GUARD.md resilience rules.
Pre-flight: Vault loaded from /Users/samaguiar/Documents/Projects/.credentials/vault.env. Preload spec resolved. Notion MCP confirmed live. Site reachable (200 on homepage). Desktop Commander available as fallback.
Full sitemap crawl: 520+ internal URLs checked via Python3 crawler (4 workers, 0.25-0.50s delay). Zero new internal 404s, 410s, or 5xx errors. Second consecutive clean run at this config, confirming 4 workers + 0.25-0.50s delay is the correct permanent setting.
External link checks: 30+ external URLs checked across 10 high-value pages. One new broken external link found: triallawyersuniversity.com/webinars/$44.6-Million-Verdict-in-Amazon-DSP-Agency-Case returns 500 (server error on specific slug; base domain and /webinars/ index return 200).
Re-verification of carry-over issues: All 11 open issues from 2026-05-03 re-checked. staging.jacobin.com de-escalated from HIGH/TIMEOUT to Medium (200 today). All other carry-over issues unchanged. Day counters incremented.
URL gap probes: Checked common slug variants not in sitemap. Found two 404 gaps: /practice-areas/dog-bite-lawyer/ (canonical: /practice-areas/dog-bite/) and /results/ (canonical: /about-us/our-results/).
Whitelist analysis: Identified 5 bot-blocking URLs generating false positives on every run: facebook.com/LouisvillePersonalInjury (400), forbes.com/best-in-state-lawyers (403), forbes.com/lists/best-in-state-lawyers (403), kadencewp.com (403), nhtsa.gov/press-releases/nhtsa-estimates-39345-traffic-fatalities-2024 (403), plus xmlrpc.php (405 expected). All verified as live for human visitors.

Bash sandbox timeout: Python crawl script timed out in the cowork bash sandbox (45s limit). Fixed by writing script via Desktop Commander write_file and launching as background process via start_process (PID 18888). This is now the documented standard fallback per SKILL-PRELOAD-AND-DRIFT-GUARD.md.
web_fetch redirect error: mcp__workspace__web_fetch returned "Redirect was cancelled" when checking the known 404 at /practice-areas/car-accident-lawyers/. Worked around with Desktop Commander curl loops.
Background crawl output empty initially: Python buffers stdout to file by default; output file showed 0 bytes for extended period. Worked around by doing targeted curl checks for known issues while waiting; confirmed zero issues once output became available (53 lines).
DC sleep timeout: A sleep 90 command in Desktop Commander timed out at MCP 120s limit. Worked around by checking the crawl output file directly in a subsequent call.
