      summary: Listings whose site is not answering
      description: 'Joins this directory''s listings to the shared site-probe records.


        **Excludes `blocked` by default.** A site refusing an automated client — routine behind Cloudflare — is not a dead link, and a report that mixes the two teaches an operator to ignore it. Pass `includeBlocked=true` to see them as a separate concern.


        `summary.hostsNeverProbed` is the gap in the report: those hosts have no evidence either way until a sweep has run, and must not be read as healthy.'

    post:
      operationId: SiteProbesController_sweep
      summary: Queue probes for this directory’s listings
      description: 'Enqueues one job per distinct host whose evidence is missing or stale — not one per listing, so a directory with 40 listings on one domain queues one job.


        Capped per run; the response reports `deferred` when the cap was hit rather than implying full coverage. Respects `enrichmentPolicy.probe === false`, which short-circuits before any work is queued.'
