# Subnautica2Maps Backlink Execution Log

Updated: 2026-06-02T12:15:43Z
Operator: 墨运
Site: https://subnautica2maps.com/
Parent task: t_75fbb4db
Recovery task: t_93608a7f
Continuation task: t_500d2fda

## Scope

This is a short-path recovery log for t_75fbb4db. No additional browser deep-dive was performed in this recovery pass. It consolidates the prior execution progress and records current backlink/outreach status for handoff.

## Inputs read

- data/subnautica2maps/competitor-backlinks.md
- data/subnautica2maps/distribution-queue.md
- data/subnautica2maps/distribution-execution-log.md
- data/subnautica2maps/moyun-distribution-baton.md
- data/subnautica2maps/utm-urls-2026-05-26.csv

## Known library gap

- Status: `missing_200_backlink_library_path`
- Finding: a complete 200-item backlink library was not confirmed in the project workspace. Current project files include one backlink/opportunity note and several distribution files, not a full 200-row backlink database.
- Handling: do not stop execution on this gap; continue with the known high-fit candidate list and record the missing source path for upstream/human recovery.

## Counts

## Candidate status log

### 1. Game8 Global contact form

- Channel: Game8 / contact form
- Status: `submitted_attempted_pending_confirmation`
- Prior progress included in this log: Name, Email, Category, Message, UTM URL, and Privacy checkbox were filled; `checkValidity=true`; Send was clicked.
- Confirmation state: no explicit success feedback was captured. Do not mark as confirmed submitted.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=game8&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=game8_contact_map_resource
- Suggested follow-up: manual inbox/browser check for any confirmation, or re-open Game8 only if human wants a visible confirmation screenshot.

### 2. TechRaptor

- Channel: gaming blog / editorial outreach
- Status: `blocked_manual_send_required`
- Continued in t_500d2fda: official contact page confirms `tips@techraptor.net`; local `sendmail`/`mail`/`himalaya`/`gws` unavailable; Resend API send attempt from `hello@subnautica2maps.com` returned HTTP 403 / `error code: 1010`. No email was sent.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=techraptor&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=techraptor_map_pitch
- Draft subject: Fan-made Subnautica 2 interactive map/resource locator for players
- Draft email:

```text
Hi TechRaptor team,

I built a fan-made Subnautica 2 interactive map and resource locator for Early Access players:
https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=techraptor&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=techraptor_map_pitch

It focuses on practical lookup tasks: silver/copper/sulfur routes, black boxes, POIs, source/confidence notes, and corrections as Early Access data changes. It is not official and does not overclaim exact coordinates.

If you maintain a resource roundup or guide update for Subnautica 2, this may be useful as a player reference. Corrections or attribution requests are welcome.

Best,
Mengjian / Subnautica2Maps
```

- Next action: send manually from an approved mailbox or configure a real SMTP/sendmail path before retrying.

### 3. GameMaps / GameMappers

- Channel: game maps / community resource listing candidate
- Status: `blocked_manual_send_required` / `blocked_submission_form_state`
- Continued in t_500d2fda: GameMaps contact page exposes `contact@gamemaps.net`; `/suggest-map` exists, but target game options loaded empty and no safe Subnautica 2 submission path was confirmed. No form submission or email send was claimed.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=gamemaps&utm_medium=resource_listing&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=gamemaps_map_listing
- Draft listing copy:

```text
Subnautica2Maps is a fan-made Subnautica 2 interactive map and resource locator for Early Access players. It helps players look up silver, copper, sulfur, black boxes, POIs, and rough route clues, with source/confidence notes kept visible because game data can change.
```

- Next action: verify whether the target has a safe public submission flow or requires account setup; do not submit without human-approved account/session.

### 4. IGN

- Channel: IGN guide/resource reference candidate
- Status: `blocked_by_captcha_validation`
- Continued in t_500d2fda: IGN Editorial News Tips & Content form was opened and filled with the UTM pitch, but submit returned `Captcha validation failed. Please try again.` No confirmed submission.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/resources/?utm_source=ign&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=ign_resource_reference
- Draft angle: complementary fan-made resource locator with provenance/confidence notes, not a replacement for IGN guides.
- Next action: retry only in a foreground browser where a human can solve captcha; do not bypass captcha.

### 5. Fandom / Wiki

- Channel: Fandom/Subnautica Wiki external resource candidate
- Status: `blocked_policy_review_required`
- Continued in t_500d2fda: official wiki search result exposes external-link spam as a block reason (`MediaWiki:Ipbreason-dropdown`). Because this is an external fan-made tool, edit must go through page policy/talk/community review first. No edit attempted.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/resources/?utm_source=fandom&utm_medium=wiki_referral&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=wiki_fandom_resource_map
- Draft edit note:

```text
External fan-made resource locator with source/confidence notes for Subnautica 2 Early Access resources and POIs. Not official; should only be added if the wiki page permits external tools/resources.
```

- Next action: manually review wiki external-link policy and page norms before any edit. If uncertain, ask in the wiki/community discussion first.

### 6. Creator outreach

- Channel: YouTube/creator outreach
- Status: `blocked_manual_account_required`
- Continued in t_500d2fda: creator outreach remains safer than public YouTube comments, but no approved creator email/DM account or safe contact route was available in this run. No DM/email was sent.
- Candidate creator pool from existing notes: IGN, EPICTREASURE, WoW Quests, Jade PG Crafted, ChemicalApes, MonikaCinnyRoll, Spyro ZA.
- UTM URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=creator&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=creator_dm_map_resource
- Draft message:

```text
Hey — your Subnautica 2 guide is useful for players looking up resources. I built a fan-made companion map/checklist here:
https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=creator&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=creator_dm_map_resource

It covers resources, black boxes, POIs, and visible source/confidence notes because Early Access data changes. If it helps your viewers, feel free to reference it; corrections are welcome.
```

- Next action: choose 3 creators maximum for a manual, non-bulk first pass.

## Tomorrow actions

1. Manual send: TechRaptor email to `tips@techraptor.net` from approved mailbox; verify sent mailbox state before counting as sent.
2. Manual send or safe form retry: GameMaps email to `contact@gamemaps.net`, or retry `/suggest-map` only after target game list loads and Subnautica 2 path is clear.
3. Human foreground retry: IGN Editorial form can only proceed where captcha can be solved; no captcha bypass.
4. Wiki/Fandom: use official wiki talk/community route first; no direct promotional external-link edit.
5. Creator outreach: pick 2 creators from EPICTREASURE / WoW Quests / Jade PG Crafted / ChemicalApes / MonikaCinnyRoll and send individualized manual outreach.

## Durable evidence

- `/root/.hermes/kanban/boards/site-review/artifacts/site-review-20260526/evidence-subnautica2maps/backlink-closure-t_500d2fda.md`

## Blocker summary

This is not a no-progress state. The blocker is confirmation/tooling/account related:

- Game8 was attempted but lacks explicit confirmation.
- TechRaptor needs a real outbound email path.
- Wiki/Fandom needs policy review before editing.
- Creator outreach needs approved manual account/channel selection.
- The complete 200-item backlink library path is missing.

## Daily backlink action batch — 2026-05-27

- Task: `t_a12b313b`
- Operator: 墨运
- Checked at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- Target: 5 backlink actions
- Guardrails: Reddit cooldown; no spam comments; no paid guest posts; no credential or mailbox secret written.
- Result counts: `submitted=0`, `live=0`, `manual_required=4`, `blocked=0`, `draft=2`.
- Note: no external post/email was claimed as published or sent in this batch because the available local environment has no approved outbound email tool (`gws`/`himalaya`/`sendmail`/`mail` missing) and account-risk channels still require foreground/manual account action.

### Action 1 — TechRaptor editorial resource pitch

- target_url: https://techraptor.net/contact
- action_type: editorial_outreach_manual_send
- status: `manual_required`
- proof_url_or_evidence: TechRaptor contact page was rechecked; page states they do not accept guest/sponsored posts, so pitch must be framed only as a player resource/tip, not guest post. Local outbound mail tools unavailable; earlier Resend attempt was 403.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=techraptor&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=techraptor_map_pitch
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: send the prepared one-off tip email from an approved mailbox to TechRaptor tips/editorial route; do not bulk-send or position as guest post.

### Action 2 — PCGamesN editorial tip candidate

- target_url: https://www.pcgamesn.com/about-us
- action_type: editorial_outreach_manual_send
- status: `manual_required`
- proof_url_or_evidence: live search found PCGamesN `about-us` and team/contact references; PCGamesN covers multiple Subnautica 2 guides and has public editorial contact context (`editor@pcgamesn.com` appears in search snippets). No local outbound mailbox available, so not sent.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=pcgamesn&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=pcgamesn_map_resource_tip
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: manually send a concise resource-tip pitch only if Mengjian approves using the site/domain mailbox.

### Action 3 — GameRant guide hub suggestion

- target_url: https://gamerant.com/contact
- action_type: editorial_outreach_manual_send
- status: `manual_required`
- proof_url_or_evidence: live search found GameRant contact page with `info@gamerant.com`; GameRant has an active Subnautica 2 guide hub and beginner/resource articles. No email sent because local outbound mailbox is unavailable.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=gamerant&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=gamerant_guide_hub_suggestion
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: manually send a non-promotional correction/resource suggestion to GameRant from approved mailbox.

### Action 4 — Official Subnautica 2 Wiki community route

- target_url: https://wiki.subnautica.com/sn2/
- action_type: wiki_community_review_draft
- status: `draft`
- proof_url_or_evidence: official wiki page verified; it says anyone can contribute and exposes official Discord `https://discord.gg/subnautica`. Because the site is an external fan-made tool, direct link insertion is not safe; use community/talk review first.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/resources/?utm_source=official_wiki&utm_medium=wiki_referral&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=wiki_resource_review_request
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: ask in official wiki/community discussion whether a fan-made resource locator with visible source/confidence notes is acceptable before any page edit.

### Action 5 — Steam Guide package preparation

- target_url: https://steamcommunity.com/app/1962700/guides/
- action_type: steam_guide_draft
- status: `draft`
- proof_url_or_evidence: existing Steam discussion posting remains blocked by account permission; instead of forcing a comment, prepared a standalone guide outline that a permitted Steam account can publish manually.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=steam&utm_medium=guide&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=steam_guide_map_launch
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: publish as Steam Guide only from an account allowed to create Subnautica 2 community content; if Steam blocks again, keep status manual_required/blocked and do not retry automation.

### Action 6 — Creator outreach candidates: Kysen + CrypticFox

- target_url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53suAmAUaRs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a5xwSfbMOE
- action_type: creator_outreach_manual_dm_or_email
- status: `manual_required`
- proof_url_or_evidence: both creator videos were checked via extraction/search; Kysen guide covers early-game resources, and CrypticFox guide has resource-location intent plus social/contact surfaces in description/search. No public YouTube comments attempted because prior YouTube UI was unstable and link comments have account risk.
- utm: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=creator&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=creator_kysen_crypticfox
- checked_at: `2026-05-27T09:17:23Z`
- next_step: choose one manual route per creator (email/DM/contact form) and send individualized 1:1 messages; no bulk outreach.

- Guardrails: Reddit posts/comments = 0; no captcha/login/payment bypass; no paid listings; all candidate links use UTM.
- Resource-pool recovery: searched `/root` and `/mnt/HC_Volume_105300089/projects`; no complete 200-item backlink library found. Continued from verified local pool instead of inventing new rows.
- Result counts: `sent=1`, `published=0`, `submitted=0`, `blocked=4`, `draft=0`, `reddit=0`.

### Action 1 — GameMaps/GameMappers resource listing email

- notes: Keep as manual publish only; do not automate Steam login or retry through blocked account state.

### Action 3 — Official Subnautica 2 Wiki / Discord community review

- evidence: Prior verified official wiki route says community contribution is possible, but external fan-made resource links require policy/community review first; posting the review request requires an approved wiki/Discord account.
- next_follow_up_date: 2026-05-30
- notes: No direct wiki page edit attempted.

### Action 4 — Kysen creator outreach route

- notes: Send only as individualized DM/email from approved creator contact route; no bulk outreach.

- next_follow_up_date: 2026-05-30
- notes: Send only as individualized DM/email from approved creator contact route; no public link comment automation.

- next_check_at: `2026-06-04T09:00:00Z`
- sessions/events: Plausible UTM source 7d shows `game8=1 visitor`; GA4 source table did not expose a confirmed Game8 placement row in the data snapshot; no downstream event attribution available.
- proof_or_blocker: web search/extraction showed Game8's own Subnautica 2 in-game map article and related official Game8 interactive map pages, but no visible `subnautica2maps.com` placement in extracted content. Keep pending; do not mark live.

### Action 6 — Creator outreach queue refreshed: Kysen + CrypticFox

- platform: YouTube creator outreach
- target_url: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=53suAmAUaRs and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3a5xwSfbMOE
- proof_url: data/subnautica2maps/outreach-pack.md#5-creator-outreach--kysen and data/subnautica2maps/outreach-pack.md#6-creator-outreach--crypticfox
- action_type: creator_outreach_manual_queue_refresh
- status: `manual_required_drafts_ready`
- rel: `ugc_or_description_link_if_creator_accepts`; not live.
- UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=creator&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=kysen_beginner_guide and https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=creator&utm_medium=outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=crypticfox_resource_guide

- checked_at: `2026-06-02T09:34:36Z`
- next_check_at: `2026-06-03T09:00:00Z`
- sessions/events: current 7d evidence has `chatgpt.com=2`, `copilot.com=1`, `game8=1`, `gamemaps=1`, `pcgamesn=1`; no creator UTM/referrer yet.
- proof_or_blocker: drafts are ready; send only from approved creator contact routes. Public YouTube link comments remain paused because prior comment UI was unstable and link comments carry account risk.

## Today's 5 counted actions

1. Game8: live/search/content follow-up; `no_public_placement_found_pending_confirmation`; proof target `https://game8.co/games/Subnautica-2/archives/598948`.
2. GameMaps: live/search/listing follow-up; `no_public_placement_found_email_sent_prior`; proof target `https://www.gamemaps.net/game/subnautica_2`.
3. PCGamesN: editorial route + public placement follow-up; `manual_required_no_public_placement_found`; proof target `https://www.pcgamesn.com/about-us`.
4. Steam Guide: draft ready and queued for manual publish by permitted account; proof `data/subnautica2maps/outreach-pack.md#4-steam-guide-draft`.
5. Wiki/Fandom/official community route: review request queued before any external-link edit; proof `data/subnautica2maps/outreach-pack.md#3-official-wiki--discord-community-review-request`.

Extra progressed action: Creator outreach queue for Kysen + CrypticFox refreshed; proof `data/subnautica2maps/outreach-pack.md`.

## Tomorrow 5-candidate queue

1. Steam Guide manual publish check: use a Steam account allowed to create Subnautica 2 Guides; if blocked, record exact permission reason.
2. Official Wiki / Discord community review request: ask whether external fan-made resource tools are allowed before any edit.
3. GameMaps reply/placement follow-up: check inbox or public listing page; do not resend until reply state is known.
4. PCGamesN reply/placement follow-up: check inbox; if no reply, wait until 7-day window before any new pitch.
5. Creator outreach: choose exactly one creator from Kysen / CrypticFox for individualized manual DM/email; no public YouTube link comment.

## Attribution judgment — 2026-06-02

- Direct / None: high but ambiguous. Plausible `Direct / None=73` and GA4 `direct/none=38 activeUsers`; likely includes lost referrers from chat/Discord/Telegram/browser privacy plus untagged direct visits. Cannot attribute to backlink actions without UTM/proof URL.
- game8: weak signal only. Plausible UTM source `game8=1`; public placement not confirmed; treat as pending/possible self/referrer leakage until proof URL exists.
- gamemaps: weak signal only. Plausible UTM source `gamemaps=1`; prior GA4 noted `1 activeUser / 2 sessions`; public listing not confirmed; likely from prior email/review activity or a hidden/pending click, not a proven backlink.
- pcgamesn: weak signal only. Plausible UTM source `pcgamesn=1`; no public placement found; may be an editorial inbox click from the sent email, not an indexed backlink.
- chatgpt.com: weak but real referral/source signal. Plausible `chatgpt.com=2`; GA4 source also shows `chatgpt.com=3`; no controllable placement URL, so record as AI-answer/referrer observation, not an executed backlink.
- copilot.com: weak but real referral/source signal. Plausible `copilot.com=1`; no controllable placement URL, so record as AI-assistant referral observation, not an executed backlink.

## External-link automation rerun — 2026-06-02 t_90dbfe44

- Task: `t_90dbfe44`
- Operator: 墨运
- Checked at: `2026-06-02T11:33:20Z`
- Goal: replace prior owner/manual items with low-risk editorial/resource-page routes where possible.
- Result counts: `live_confirmed=0`, `submitted_confirmed=3`, `manual_required_opened_for_owner=1`, `draft_prepared_send_blocked=2`, `blocked_with_replacement_candidate=1`.
- Guardrails: Reddit=0; no public comments; no captcha bypass; no wiki edit; no unverified send claim; no secrets written.

### What was actually progressed

1. Rock Paper Shotgun / IGN network contact form
   - submit_url: https://www.rockpapershotgun.com/contact-us
   - status: `blocked_with_replacement_candidate`
   - blocker: contact form has reCAPTCHA; no bypass attempted.
   - replacement: Gmail draft prepared to `contact@rockpapershotgun.com`, but send remained disabled after click/Ctrl-Enter.
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=rps&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=rps_map_resource_tip

2. TheGamer editorial route
   - submit_url: https://www.thegamer.com/contact
   - status: `submitted_confirmed`
   - evidence: Gmail compose URL was opened with `editorial@thegamer.com`, subject and body prefilled; owner confirmed foreground send at `2026-06-02T12:11:13Z` (`已发送 TheGamer`).
   - submitted_at: `2026-06-02T12:11:13Z`
   - next_check_at: `2026-06-05T09:00:00Z`
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=thegamer&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=thegamer_map_resource_tip

3. DualShockers editorial/general route
   - submit_url: https://www.dualshockers.com/contact
   - status: `submitted_confirmed`
   - evidence: contact page verified by web extract; page exposes Editorial Inquiries and General Inquiries categories. Gmail foreground compose was opened to `info@dualshockers.com`; owner confirmed send at `2026-06-02T12:13:57Z` (`已发送 DualShockers`).
   - submitted_at: `2026-06-02T12:13:57Z`
   - next_check_at: `2026-06-05T09:00:00Z`
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=dualshockers&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=dualshockers_map_resource_tip

4. Polygon editorial route
   - submit_url: https://www.polygon.com/contact
   - status: `submitted_confirmed`
   - evidence: contact page verified by web extract; page exposes Editorial Inquiries / Topic Ideas / Feedback / Corrections or Suggestions. Gmail foreground compose was opened to `maddy@polygon.com`; owner confirmed send at `2026-06-02T12:15:43Z` (`已发送 Polygon`). Address is historical/public editor route, so placement probability is uncertain.
   - submitted_at: `2026-06-02T12:15:43Z`
   - next_check_at: `2026-06-05T09:00:00Z`
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=polygon&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=polygon_map_resource_tip

5. Eurogamer / IGN network contact form
   - submit_url: https://www.eurogamer.net/contact-us
   - status: `draft_prepared_send_blocked`
   - evidence: web extract verified visible contact form fields: enquiry type, email, name, subject, message. No form submit was attempted because this likely requires foreground/captcha/session handling.
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=eurogamer&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=eurogamer_map_resource_tip

6. GameSpot editorial tip route
   - candidate_url: https://www.gamespot.com/articles/subnautica-2-guides-hub/1100-6530670/
   - status: `draft_prepared_send_blocked`
   - evidence: search result shows the Subnautica 2 Guides Hub and a public news-tip/contact address line (`news@gamespot.com`); page extraction failed, so no send was claimed.
   - UTM: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?utm_source=gamespot&utm_medium=editorial_outreach&utm_campaign=launch_202605_subnautica2maps&utm_content=gamespot_map_resource_tip

### Send-path blocker

- Gmail API: current Google OAuth refresh token lacks `gmail.send`; token scope is analytics/webmasters/userinfo only. No token values were stored.
- Gmail web compose: RPS/TheGamer drafts can be opened, but the send button becomes disabled and no `Message sent` / `已发送` confirmation appears.
- Resend: API is available only for verified `shipsolo.io`; not used for Subnautica2Maps outreach to avoid sender-domain mismatch.

### Owner-minimal next action

TheGamer, DualShockers, and Polygon are now `submitted_confirmed` from owner foreground Gmail sends. Next low-risk owner action: send one additional editorial tip draft (Eurogamer or GameSpot) from Gmail foreground, then update the ledger with the same `owner_confirmed_gmail_sent` evidence pattern. Do not mark any editorial route `live_confirmed` until a public placement/proof URL exists.

   - status: `submitted_confirmed`
   - evidence: browser confirmation URL contains `contact-form-sent=247070`; page text says `Your message has been sent` with name `Mengjian`.

### Blocked and replaced candidates

3. SoMuch web directory
   - submit_url: https://www.somuch.com/submit-links/
   - status: `blocked_with_replacement_candidate`
   - blocker: submission form reached but includes Google reCAPTCHA; no bypass attempted.
   - replacement used: Prima Games contact form.

4. Pro Game Guides contact form
   - submit_url: https://progameguides.com/contact-us
   - status: `blocked_with_replacement_candidate`
   - blocker: Cloudflare security verification; no bypass attempted.
   - replacement used: GameSkinny contact form.

5. ExactSeek / Wiby directory submissions
   - submit_url: https://www.exactseek.com/add.html and https://wiby.me/submit/
   - status: `blocked_with_replacement_candidate`
   - blocker: Cloudflare challenge / image CAPTCHA; no bypass attempted.
   - replacement queue: Eurogamer/GameSpot owner-foreground send remains available but not counted as submitted until owner confirms.

### /map mobile friction recheck evidence

- URL: https://subnautica2maps.com/map/?q=silver
- Viewport: `390x844`, device scale factor `3`, mobile emulation.
- Selected marker: `Silver cave between Lifepod and Old Habitat`.
- Pass evidence from CDP DOM rectangles:
  - `COPY`: x=19, y=392, w=79, h=44
  - `ROUTE`: x=105, y=392, w=79, h=44
  - `FOUND`: x=191, y=392, w=79, h=44
  - `SOURCE`: x=277, y=392, w=79, h=44
  - Route inputs: y=637, h=45; `GENERATE ROUTE CLUE`: x=19, y=692, w=337, h=44
- Finding: action buttons are not overlapping and meet 44px tap-height. Minor polish remains: map marker buttons are 21-30px targets and the selected card starts at y≈337, which can visually crowd the result list on 390px wide screens.

### Follow-up

- Created mojie child card `t_bbc10412` for optional mobile map polish: larger marker tap targets / bottom-sheet spacing; no launch-blocking bug found.
