      summary: 'The bat signal: report IndexNow readiness, or with ?fire=1 submit this site''s…'
      description: 'Open protocol, no authentication; anyone, human or agent, may fire it and IndexNow dedupes upstream. Without ?fire=1 this is a read: it fetches the IndexNow key file for the host that served the request and reports whether ownership can actually be verified, so "ready" is a checked fact rather than a decoration. With ?fire=1 it submits the site''s URL list to the IndexNow endpoints. If the key file does not verify, nothing is submitted and the response is {"signal":"failed","submitted":0} rather than a success-shaped body. An accepted submission (HTTP 200/202) means accepted, not indexed — crawling and indexing happen on the engines'' schedule and neither is promised here.'
