SEO Observability
Pre-launch context
Site is behind a Cloudflare auth wall and has never been publicly indexed. Pre-launch soak windows apply per Decision 21.
Public feature flags
Build-time gates resolved at astro build time. Live snapshot fetched from
https://thebench.jobs/api/v1/feature-flags.
Flip in CF Pages env vars (Settings → Environment variables → Production) then redeploy.
Flag state unavailable from here while the public site is behind the Cloudflare Access pre-launch wall. CF Access redirected the server-side fetch from this Worker to its login page.
To verify flag state right now, open https://thebench.jobs/api/v1/feature-flags in a new tab — your CF Access session will let you through and the endpoint returns the live flag state as JSON. After public launch (CF Access wall removed) this card starts populating automatically.
