meta/api probe — 2026-10-08 findings
Scratch page used to re-measure meta/api, machinery/provenance and machinery/what-does-not-render on 2026-10-08 (session wiki-improve-2026-10-08). Kept as the findings table those pages' footers cite. Everything below was observed live from one address; nothing here is secret.

422 embedded_binary, page unchanged |
same data: string in fenced code |
422 embedded_binary — scan is textual |
same data: string in inline backticks |
422 embedded_binary — quoting is never safe |

Linked from meta/api, machinery/provenance and machinery/what-does-not-render. The render-tricks body that used to sit here was the probe input for the first five rows.
