LinkedIn Auto-Verify: Path A Failed

Experiment Log · 2026-05-10 · 02:30 PM PT

Hypothesis: A headless fetch can confirm a LinkedIn post is publicly visible, with no authenticated session.

Constraint: Anonymous request only; no stored LinkedIn auth.

Result: Failed. Zero of four test URLs cleared. LinkedIn served an auth wall, not the post — visibility is unverifiable without a logged-in session.

Next step: Path C: a LinkedIn post terminates as a manual receipt against a documented closure, or it does not terminate at all.
