REQUEST DESK
Follow the request,
not the assumption.
Start with a visitor, read the preference, then send a synthetic training marker to the same content.
Visitor and robots checks send no custom header. The other checks send X-Demo-Crawler: training. Requests omit credentials, bypass cache and time out after 10 seconds. No checks run automatically.
Ready. Choose a check to begin.

What this proves. What it does not.
Synthetic request marker, not verified crawler identity. This demonstrates WAF enforcement, not the AI Crawl Control dashboard toggle. Analytics are in TME; this page does not fabricate statistics.
robots.txt signals preferences, not enforcement. With the demo WAF rules disabled, marked requests reach content. This Worker never generates HTTP 403 or 402.
HTTP 402 here is a synthetic licensing notice, not Pay per Crawl. No payment is requested, processed or collected. TME analytics are demonstration-environment analytics, not this page's traffic statistics.
