The 3 Distinct Verification Tiers
Probes DNS and HTTP connectivity (lastCheckedAt), distinguishing 200 OK, canonical 301 redirects, CDN bot-challenges, and genuine 404 dead links with a 14-day grace period.
Validates live endpoint responsiveness (lastVerifiedAt). Tests that APIs and tools return valid, parseable JSON payloads matching declared OpenAPI or REST contracts.
Scans pricing terms (pricingVerifiedAt) to enforce permanent free developer access. Identifies upfront credit card requirements, trial expirations, and paywall bait.

The DevShelf Zero-Paywall & Sunset Protocol
1. Heuristic Trial-Bait Auditing
An automated auditor routinely parses landing pages, pricing grids, and terms of service. Mandatory upfront credit cards or discontinued free tiers trigger immediate review flags before users get trapped.
2. Real-World CDN Resilience
HTTP 403 / 429 challenge responses from Cloudflare, Vercel, or Akamai are treated as reachable origins with bot verification, avoiding false-positive deletions of legitimate community projects.
3. 14-Day Grace Period Sunset
Unreachable links undergo automated retries and enter a 14-day community grace period with public GitHub issue tracking. Only persistently dead resources (≥14 days or 3 consecutive failures) are sunset via automated PR.
