The current Cloud Run configuration does not collect raw TCP TTL, TLS JA4 or HTTP/2 characteristics. These remain unavailable; evaluation uses observations that were actually collected. Legacy signal counts do not describe active new-Detector layers or coverage.
Headless environments without a real GPU produce SwiftShader-specific pixels. Missing WebGL extensions are a separate Bot signal.
Invisible DOM links and form fields that no real user reaches. Touching one is among the highest-confidence Bot signals we have. Scrapers fall in by structure.
Compare the browser’s time zone with IP location. Differences are one piece of evidence; location alone does not make a visit a Bot.
