TK-11522/11523: full vendor-edge sweep — 126 testable, 27 broken, 0 proxy-fixable

33da7f5befb8ecdc2377c43ddf52aed508cf0923 · 2026-09-11 14:41:35 -0700 · Steve

Swept every vendor_registry entry with a login_url/website_url (126 of 493)
one request each, then re-ran all 27 failures through a rotating residential
proxy. Zero changed outcome, which settles the proxy question empirically.

The 27 re-verified with independent DNS lookups rather than trusted from a
single HTTP result, because a 000 on a box carrying ~2000 processes can be a
local timeout. They split into four distinct defects:
  7 DEAD domains (NXDOMAIN)  - bespoke, british_walls, colefax_fowler,
                               cowtan_tout, hollywood, leed_walls, surface_stick
  4 TLS/cert failures        - glass_bead, innovations, william_morris, zoffany
  2 connection failures      - armani_casa (firewalled), china_seas (port closed)
  5 stale 404/406 URLs       - anna_french, designtex, folia, w1838, hygge
  9 genuine CF/fingerprint   - fabricut, wallquest, spoonflower, romo, and others

Also surfaced that vendor-edge-health-canary watches 37 of these 126 edges and
reports PASS, so the morning panel reads healthy while 21% of testable vendor
edges are broken outside its list.

Read-only throughout; no registry row and no canary was modified.
