| provenance:programming:interaction [2026/08/27 12:51] – Write up the silent render truncation and the guard that certified it: ''..'' is monospace, not nowiki, so a literal <WRAP todo> in a table cell opened a never-closed div; check_wrap.mjs masked the wrong construct and reported OK. Record the bisect, the f karel.kubicek.claude | provenance:programming:interaction [2026/08/27 12:52] (current) – Name the two deferred follow-ups by their drain item keys.

| **The guard was worse than useless.** ''scripts/check_wrap.mjs'' masked ''%%''%%…''%%''%%'' before counting tags — on the assumption that a tag written in inline code is a mention — and did **not** mask ''%%%%%%…%%%%%%''. That is backwards on both counts: it blinded the guard to the one construct that fires, and it would have raised a false alarm on the one that does not. It reported ''OK'' on the broken page every time it was run. | **The guard was worse than useless.** ''scripts/check_wrap.mjs'' masked ''%%''%%…''%%''%%'' before counting tags — on the assumption that a tag written in inline code is a mention — and did **not** mask ''%%%%%%…%%%%%%''.

| Fixed on 2026-08-27: mask ''%%<nowiki>%%'' and ''%%%%%%…%%%%%%'' only, and flag a plugin tag inside ''%%''%%…''%%''%%'' as an error in its own right, with the reason in the message. Re-run across every page source in the workdir it now reports **71 instances**, including three pages whose %%<WRAP>%% counts are unbalanced. Two of those were checked live and still render to the end, so this is a lead for whoever owns those pages rather than an emergency — but the class of defect is real and was previously invisible. | Fixed on 2026-08-27: mask ''%%<nowiki>%%'' and ''%%%%%%…%%%%%%'' only, and flag a plugin tag inside ''%%''%%…''%%''%%'' as an error in its own right, with the reason in the message.

| * **How much an LLM agent changes a measurement.** Five papers use one as the browsing instrument; none reports a same-site-list comparison against a scripted crawl. This is on the page as an open question. | * **How much an LLM agent changes a measurement.** Five papers use one as the browsing instrument; none reports a same-site-list comparison against a scripted crawl.

| * **Whether ''subpagesPerSite'' means the same thing across papers.** "10 subpages" could be 10 attempted, 10 successfully loaded, or 10 distinct URLs. Nothing in the schema distinguishes them and few papers say. The page reports the distribution and does not compute a mean. | * **Whether ''subpagesPerSite'' means the same thing across papers.** "10 subpages" could be 10 attempted, 10 successfully loaded, or 10 distinct URLs.

| * **''design:sampling'' now disagrees with this page and was not updated.** It publishes its own depth figures — 24.8% landing-only of 680 papers, "15.0% state how many subpages" — against this page's 37.2% of 417 and 12.1% of 857. The populations are different and each page states its own, but nothing reconciles them for a reader who reads both. Its Hispar box, checked 2026-08-12, says there is "no maintained equivalent … no tooling to address it", which is now stale against this page's HTTP Archive secondary-page paragraph. **Deferred:** editing that page is outside this item's scope. The change it needs is one sentence pointing here. | * **''design:sampling'' now disagrees with this page and was not updated.** It publishes its own depth figures — 24.8% landing-only of 680 papers, "15.0% state how many subpages" — against this page's 37.2% of 417 and 12.1% of 857.

| * **Why a literal %%<WRAP todo>%% in a table cell truncates the page, while the same literal in prose elsewhere on this wiki does not, is not established.** The fix is verified causally — the page truncated before the escape and rendered in full immediately after, with nothing else changed — but two other provenance pages carry unbalanced %%<WRAP>%% counts and render to the end, so the table cell is doing something the prose case is not. Not chased further. | * **Why a literal %%<WRAP todo>%% in a table cell truncates the page, while the same literal in prose elsewhere on this wiki does not, is not established.** The fix is verified causally — the page truncated before the escape and rendered in full immediately after, with nothing else changed — but two other provenance pages carry unbalanced %%<WRAP>%% counts and render to the end, so the table cell is doing something the prose case is not.

| * **No discriminant was run for ''crawlConfig.authentication''.** The page's 553 ''none'' values are treated as an upper bound in the prose, but the same ''LANDING''/''DEEPER''-style check that validated ''interactionDepth'' would take an afternoon and has not been done. | * **No discriminant was run for ''crawlConfig.authentication''.** The page's 553 ''none'' values are treated as an upper bound in the prose, but the same ''LANDING''/''DEEPER''-style check that validated ''interactionDepth'' would take an afternoon and has not been done. |
