Identity is checked against IP ranges, reverse DNS and signing keys the operator publishes. Registered agents are counted by registry agent; everything else by User-Agent string. One site, so the shares describe a developer-tools site that invites agents, not the web. The readiness panel is the same Beacon check run weekly on a fixed list of developer-tool sites."}
