kudos to getting this blog post out so fast, it’s well written and is appreciated.

i’m a little confused on how this was initially confused for an attack though?

is there no internal visibility into where 5xx’s are being thrown? i’m surprised there isn’t some kind of "this request terminated at the <bot checking logic>" error mapping that could have initially pointed you guys towards that over an attack.

also a bit taken aback that .unwrap()’s are ever allowed within such an important context.

would appreciate some insight!
