| An earlier draft of this paragraph reported 58 markers and 22 headings, counted with an unscoped grep over the whole HTML response and before the last round of edits. A review pass could not reproduce it. That is a small thing and it is recorded because a provenance page whose own self-check does not reproduce is worse than one that has none. | Counts below are for [[privacy:privacy_sandbox]] only. This page's own heading and table counts are deliberately not asserted, because every edit to this paragraph changes them and a self-referential count can never be right for long; what //is// asserted about this page is that it renders **7** downloadable file blocks and **zero** red links. |
| | |
| | ^ Count ^ [[privacy:privacy_sandbox]] ^ |
| | | citation markers in the wiki source | **33** | |
| | | distinct citekeys among them | **13** | |
| | | ''bibtex_citekey'' spans in the rendered DOM | **66** | |
| | | ''%%<dt>%%'' entries in the rendered ''bibtex_references'' list | **13** | |
| | | ''%%<table>%%'' in the rendered body | **12** | |
| | | ''%%<h1>%%''–''%%<h4>%%'' in the rendered body | **23** | |
| | | ''%%<WRAP>%%'' boxes | **5** | |
| | | ''wikilink2'' (red links) | **0** | |
| | | downloadable ''%%<file>%%'' blocks | **1** | |
| | |
| | **Read the first three rows together, because two reviewers independently got them wrong and then disagreed with each other.** The bibtex plugin emits **two** ''bibtex_citekey'' spans per source marker — an anchor and a link — so 33 markers render as 66 spans, and neither number is the reference count: 33 markers over 13 distinct keys give 13 entries in the reference list. The rendered heading count is one higher than the source heading count because ''%%~~DISCUSSION~~%%'' contributes its own heading. And a source-side count is not a substitute for a rendered one on either page: the embedded script output here contains ''%%==%%''- and ''%%##%%''-prefixed lines that a naive source-side heading regex picks up as headings (44 against a real 22). |
| | |
| | Two earlier versions of this paragraph were wrong — first 58/22, then 60/21/4, both counted with an unscoped grep and both before the last round of edits. A review pass could not reproduce either. It is recorded rather than quietly corrected because a provenance page whose own self-check does not reproduce is worse than one that has none, and because getting a trivial count wrong twice is the honest illustration of why the rest of the page is scripted. |

| **Rejected: nothing.** Every finding from this pass was accepted. That is unusual and is recorded as such: it is evidence the generic slot earns its place, and also that the three focused passes, by having checklists, all missed the same class of defect — advice that is well-sourced and wrong. | **Rejected: nothing.** Every finding from this pass was accepted.

| | ==== Work done after the generic pass, and the second round ==== |
| | |
| | Verifying the generic pass's "removal dates have already slipped twice" finding against the blink-dev thread turned up more than the finding itself, and the content page gained a section that no reviewer had seen: **"The only post-2025 adoption numbers that exist are Chrome's own"**, five rows of Chrome Platform Status ''motivation'' telemetry. It is recorded here rather than folded silently into the page because it postdates every review, and because it is exactly the kind of late addition that escapes an audit trail. Its sources are in [[#External sources, verified and rejected]]; two subsequent re-review passes checked all five quotes verbatim and found no error in them. |
| | |
| | Two ''sonnet'' re-review passes were then run over the edited pages, one on figures and one on currency and citations, both told the earlier fixes might themselves be wrong. |
| | |
| | ^ Finding ^ Disposition ^ |
| | | **The DOM self-check numbers in [[#Bibliography]] are still wrong** — "60 citation markers, 10 tables, 21 headings, 4 WRAP boxes" against actual 33 source markers / 12 tables / 23 headings / 5 boxes. Found independently by both re-reviewers, who then disagreed with each other (33 vs 60 markers, 21 vs 22 headings) | **Accepted, fixed, and the disagreement diagnosed.** The whole paragraph is now a table with the counting method stated, and it explains the trap that caught both of them: the plugin emits two spans per source marker, and ''%%~~DISCUSSION~~%%'' adds a heading. Third time | |
| | | **"Every call returned a benign empty value rather than throwing" is contradicted by the page's own committed probe output** — ''sharedStorage.worklet.addModule()'' throws ''OperationError'' in all four configurations, and the illustrative code box on the page had silently dropped that line | **Accepted, fixed.** The eighth call is back in the box, with the reason (the probe server returns ''text/html'' for every path, so the worklet module fails a MIME check — an artefact of the probe, not of the API) and a note that it was trimmed for one revision | |
| | | **The headers table overclaims**: ''Attribution-Reporting-Register-Source'' names a ''destination'' field; MDN documents no "reporting origin" field, which is implicit in the sending origin | **Accepted, fixed** | |
| | | **The bisect window is wider than necessary.** The removal landed in one commit, ''96e032552f'', 2026-04-02, "Roll protocol to r1608973"; the last commit with the symbols is ''1abe750809'', 2026-03-25 | **Accepted, fixed.** Both re-reviewers found the same commit independently. The page now names it | |
| | | The page's "which partition by default" gloss on Firefox and Safari is not literally in ''bahrami2025_cookieguard'' | **Accepted, fixed.** The gloss is now marked as ours and attributed to [[privacy:browser_storage]] instead | |
| | | The new telemetry section had no provenance trail | **Accepted, fixed** — this subsection | |
| | | ''%%--privacy-sandbox-enrollment-overrides%%'' could not be confirmed against Chromium source (code search needed auth); corroborated only by Google's own docs and by the fact that this run's own probe passes it without error | **Accepted as a limitation, recorded.** The switch is used in ''sandbox/ps_call_probe.mjs'' and Chromium does not reject it, which is weaker than a source citation | |
| | | ''w3.org/TR/attribution/'' returns 403 to ''curl'' but 200 to a browser-grade fetch; Bugzilla rejects bare ''HEAD'' | **Noted.** Neither is a dead link; recorded for future link-checkers | |
| | |
| | Everything else in both re-reviews checked out: the fold fix lost exactly the one true positive already admitted and no more (179 of 180 case-insensitive extras in the Protected Audience family are "full-fledged"), every regenerated table matches a fresh script run byte for byte, the published code block is byte-identical to the committed script and reproduces its seven events, the mutation test still drops it to three, and all 34 external claims re-fetched today were confirmed verbatim. |
