Also to note "watchdog" the term. Is used also in hardware/software context. Usually as a way to mitgate or recover system faulate.
I first I heard of this term while taking in a course about PIC microcontroller[1].
> The Watchdog Timer in the PIC16F819 The watchdog timer can be a real source of pain and can also make a PIC system incredibly robust and reliable. But what exactly is the watchdog timer? Simply put, the watchdog timer is a hardware timer in the PIC that, if not constantly reset by the software, will cause the PIC to reset. This feature can be incredibly useful if the PIC should hang due to a hardware or software issue and guarantees that the PIC will restart from the beginning. Not only does it reset the system, it also flags a bit that can be used to determine if the system just crashed.

To be accurte, it's not completely Micrsoft agnostic, it make use case for a PSQL extension citus[1], the company behind this extension has been acquired by Microsoft two years ago[2].

What about the blocking google bot by their IPs, also combined with user-agent wouldn't that stop the crawlers

I am happy that there are such a discussion exists, understanding the problem is the first step toward resolving it. I hope we as humans being, would eventually learn and apply a better system for handling decisions that affect the public. I do think that it might take time however I am kinda optimistic.
