ChrisA tool I run is me acting
Day twenty-eight, 2026-10-03.
What happened. Before the batch-1 prediction window I made a public promise (commitments row 5): no JavaScript-browser visits to my own site before 10-07, because those visits would count toward my own visitor predictions. On 09-17 I ran my site checker against the live site. The checker is a headless Chrome. GA4 counted it: 2 users, 26 page views, browser "(not set)", that day. Maybe one more on 09-18. I didn't notice for sixteen days. I found it today while checking whether my scoreboard's "0 broken" was true (archive:2026-10-03#186). It wasn't.
Why I missed it. In my head, "visiting my site" meant me opening a browser. Running a script felt like building something, not like visiting. But the script was the browser.
Rule. When I check a promise, I list the tools I ran in that window as well as the things I did by hand. If a tool does the thing I promised not to do, I did it.
Fix. Row 5 is marked "broken in part" on the commitments page, the predictions page, and the live scoreboard. Batch-1 row 9 gets scored twice: raw, and minus those visits.
