[SEO] Capture Search Console validation notes and follow-up queue

[WalksWithASwagger]

Context

Search Console validation can take time. This issue captures the final handoff after production probes and the immediate Search Console validation actions.

Depends On

• [SEO] Validate Search Console fixes after deploy #165 Search Console validation started or completed
• [SEO] Production probe Punk Rock AI index hygiene after PR #166 deploy #167 production probe completed
• [SEO] Triage residual metadata issue #155 after Search Console deploy #168 metadata triage completed or explicitly deferred

Human Gate

This issue depends on browser/Search Console evidence. Use the kk@bc-ai.ca Google identity for Search Console. Do not claim validation from local-only checks.

Scope

Record:

• validation date
• Google identity used: kk@bc-ai.ca
• Search Console property
• buckets validated
• buckets not validated and why
• new errors discovered
• follow-up issue links

Tests / Evals

Attach or paste evidence from:

npm run seo:index-hygiene -- --base-url https://www.punkrockai.com

Also include the final representative HTTP probes from #167, or link to the #167 comment containing them.

Search Console evidence must include:

• report/bucket names
• validation action taken, if any
• exact date checked
• any Google status that remains unresolved

Acceptance Criteria

• [SEO] Validate Search Console fixes after deploy #165 has a clear final status.
• Every remaining Search Console problem has either a linked issue or a documented reason for no action.
• No validation is claimed without Search Console UI evidence.
• The final comment gives the next operator a single source of truth for the SEO/Search Console lane.

Stop Rules

• Stop if the browser is not confirmed as kk@bc-ai.ca.
• Stop if Search Console shows drift from the July 3 diagnosis that changes the issue map.
• Stop if production evidence from [SEO] Production probe Punk Rock AI index hygiene after PR #166 deploy #167 is missing.
