My original clause was correct on the cited host; his 301/404 + was the www host's behaviour (404 / 15,872 bytes only with a trailing + slash on `www.mercor.com`; apex answers 301 to the www URL). + Host-qualified form in the new "Corrections log (v0.4 → v0.5)". The ML + listing is closed on both hosts — no verdict changed. Census now + **v0.5** (header bumped; "DRAFT" left as-is per his cosmetic note). +- **Q17 seeded** (opened by reply 26, per Q7).
