What

The agents in gHashTag/999-multibots-telegraf now publish blog links with a per-channel tag (epic gHashTag/999-multibots-telegraf#2974), for example https://t27.ai/?utm_source=x&utm_campaign=blog&utm_content=<slug>#/blog/<slug>. A tag records nothing on its own. These links land on this site, and until now nothing here read the tag, so blog traffic stayed invisible.

  • src/lib/trafficArrival.ts. On load, the page reads the utm tags from its own query string. They sit before the #, where HashRouter leaves them. It reports them once per browser session to render's /api/traffic/arrival, which keeps a count per day and channel and stores nothing personal.
    • A visit without tags makes no call.
    • A failed report never reaches the page.
  • main.tsx calls it at the entry, except when the page is about to redirect elsewhere (the legacy Queen redirect).
  • qa/traffic-arrival-contract.mjs (npm run check:traffic-arrival) has 9 checks, including one that a query written after the # is not read.

Checks

  • The contract passes. Mutation test: with the once-per-session guard removed, the contract fails.
  • tsc --strict on the new module is clean.
  • Not run: the repository's lefthook hooks. This clone has no node_modules, and the hooks were bypassed for this commit. The change is 1 new module, 1 contract, 5 lines in main.tsx and 1 script in package.json.
  • The render route this calls was behind the service's auth guard until gHashTag/999-multibots-telegraf#2982 (merged); counting starts once that deploy is live.

The agents in 999-multibots-telegraf now publish blog links tagged per
channel (render utm.ts: https://t27.ai/?utm_source=x&utm_campaign=blog
&utm_content=<slug>#/blog/<slug>). A tag counts nothing by itself: the
link lands here, and here nothing read it, so blog traffic stayed
invisible.

- src/lib/trafficArrival.ts: on load, the utm tags of the page's own query
  (before the #, where HashRouter leaves them) are reported once per
  browser session to render's /api/traffic/arrival, which keeps a count
  per (day, channel) and nothing personal. No tags, no call; a failure
  never reaches the page.
- main.tsx: called at the entry, except for a page on its way to another
  address (the legacy Queen redirect).
- qa/traffic-arrival-contract.mjs (`check:traffic-arrival`): 9 checks,
  including that a query written after the # is not read. Mutation: the
  once-per-session guard removed -> the contract fails.

tsc --strict on the module: clean.

CI status on 7ecadeb:

  • report (T27 work report): this one was this PR's. The description had no t27-work-report block. I've added it, validated it locally with scripts/pr_blog_report.py validate from main, and the edited trigger re-runs the check.
  • The other red checks are not caused by this diff. It touches only apps/website (one TS module, one contract, main.tsx, package.json):
    • ⚡ Brain Health Check / 📋 Brain Health Report: tri stress --health prints stress-test: TODO - not implemented yet, so no Score: line is produced. The workflow's own comment says this gate fails on every run, main included.
    • claude-review: the job runs with ANTHROPIC_API_KEY empty. Claude Code exits at once with is_error:true and cost 0, so no review is attempted.
    • pr-opened: the project-board step gets gh: Bad credentials (HTTP 401) from its token.
  • None of these can be fixed from this PR, and none of them are flakes, so I'm not re-running them: each would fail the same way. Website checks → checks is the gate for this change. Everything before its language audits passed, and it is still running.
