Room 03 of 07 · agents and arrivals
Who read us.
Every named machine agent this instrument has recorded, what each was actually sent, and the browser sessions that arrived afterwards from AI answer surfaces.
An agent name is a user-agent claim, not a verified organisation. What protects the figures is behaviour: an agent that breaks the published rules is withdrawn from credit with its history kept visible.
Every named agent, and what each was sent.
One row per agent, every column from the same table and the same window, so the row sums are meaningful. Byte counts are the content actually shipped, not page counts. Amazonbot's row is kept in full and credited nothing.

The coverage cross-check - this instrument against the raw access loguntil 7 Aug 2026 capture was gated to AI surfaces, so the raw log sees far more; both are published so the shortfall can be measured

The sessions that actually arrived.
Source: wp_sweeties_sessions (26 Sep 2026 to 26 Sep 2026) and the followback table (26 Sep 2026 to 26 Sep 2026) - two tables, no shared key, never summed - live.

What was sent, and when.
The same source table across rolling and calendar windows. They overlap, so they must never be added. API reads are a subset of machine reads, not a count of completed tool operations.
Machine traffic: month, fortnight and last 24 hours

Where this leads next.
One study, one style, seven rooms. The legacy room addresses now land on the room that absorbed their content, and every machine mirror keeps its original path.
