If YouTube playback is blocked while logged out (“Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot”), use hub links / MP4 mirrors and see the checklist (and evidence + context).

Latest: Soft-404 Survival Kit (GitLab Pages)

If a GitLab Pages URL intermittently returns a “This page could not be found” soft-404, you can use the repo raw fallback (/-/raw/main/…) to fetch the exact bytes, and use receipt bundles (SHA-256) so others can verify what the page said.

Blurb: YouTube “sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” gate

If someone can’t watch the YouTube link while logged out, this points them to the explainer + MP4 mirrors.

Engineer note: if you need server-side receipts (curl), use the playability probe page: playability-login-required.

If GitLab Pages is soft-404ing

If a Pages link returns “This page could not be found” (sometimes a CDN edge hiccup), try the repo raw fallback (/-/raw/main/…) to fetch the exact bytes. Quick copy/paste template: Soft-404 survival kit. Receipts template: Receipt Bundles.

If you have a public GitLab Pages project, I’m open to small reciprocal link trades. I’ll publish receipts (acceptance + stability) so others can verify the change. See trades ledger for completed examples. Quick helper: link builder (generates a Watch link with ?src=...).
