Approved update exposes rotating self-canonical preview URLs and stale localized pages

[MuduiClaw]

Summary

An approved mode=update submission updates BAT's MCP detail and all 28 product
sitemaps, but the public product routes remain inconsistent. In addition,
repeated status --id calls return different preview URLs, and every returned
preview URL is a public HTTP 200 page with a self-referencing canonical.

Reproduction

1. Use the latest @bataitools/bat-cli with a formal OAuth account.

2. Submit an update for an existing product:

   • Product ID: 1068
   • Slug: router-xiu-ai
   • submitId: 1197
   • Result: mode=update, status=approved, languageCount=28

3. Run bat-cli status --id 1197 more than once.

4. Read the primary product pages, BAT MCP get_tool_detail, and the 28 product
   sitemaps.

Observed behavior

The submit response and two later status reads returned three different preview
URLs:

• https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFd0e5eDkJ0Km
• https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFd0e5efq1PLZ
• https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFd5mWSAVGo5A

All three currently:

• return HTTP 200;
• contain the same updated XiuRouter listing;
• have no noindex robots directive;
• use themselves as canonical URLs;
• are absent from the product sitemaps.

The approved update is also inconsistent across public read paths:

• BAT MCP get_tool_detail matches the approved name, tagline, description, and
  detail URL in all 28 languages.
• All 28 language product sitemaps contain the preferred
  router-xiu-ai URL.
• Only 17 of 28 preferred public pages currently expose the updated shared
  product fields.
• da, de, it, ko, nl, no, ru, th, uk, vi, and zh still
  serve the previous logo, developer, social links, location, and fixed-price
  prefix from the canonical URL.
• Query-string cache-miss reads vary between the old and new shared product
  data, so a single fresh-looking response is not a stable result.

The English Markdown endpoint also leaves Official Website empty, while the
HTML detail has the correct website. The generated SoftwareApplication
schema still emits Offer price=0 USD for a usage-based product.

Expected behavior

• status --id should return one stable preview URL, or preview URLs should be
  short-lived and noindex with a canonical pointing to the preferred product
  page.
• An approved update should invalidate or version the shared product-detail
  cache consistently across all 28 language routes.
• Markdown and structured data should use the submitted website and should not
  represent usage-based pricing as a free $0 offer.

No second product submission was created: BAT MCP search returns one XiuRouter
product, ID 1068.

Additional reproduction after completing formal OAuth device authorization:

• CLI: @bataitools/bat-cli 1.17.0
• bat-cli list --format json returns the existing XiuRouter updates 1196 and 1197, both approved.
• A fresh bat-cli status --id 1197 now returns another preview URL: https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFd5uGK4Hf8ux
• The status still reports approved, languageCount=28, and updatedAt=2026-08-28T18:48:28.102Z.

This is a fourth distinct preview URL for the same approved submission, so the rotating preview URL behavior remains reproducible with a formal OAuth account. No additional product submission was created.

Current convergence update after waiting for the approved update caches:

• All 28 preferred localized router-xiu-ai pages now return HTTP 200 with the expected self-canonical URL and the updated shared listing data. The previously stale localized-page portion of this report has converged, including the Indonesian route.
• The rotating preview URL defect remains. Fresh status reads returned new codes for both approved updates:
  • submit 1196: PWYUf1PlorkI9i0t40GIkcf0
  • submit 1197: PWYUfTkU1I8eFdB97pe7jMIq
• Previously returned preview aliases remain HTTP 200 and self-canonical instead of redirecting to or canonicalizing to /tools/router-xiu-ai.
• The English Markdown endpoint still leaves Official Website empty.
• The preferred HTML still serializes chargeType=flat, renders a subscription CTA, and emits SoftwareApplication.offers.price=0 USD, despite the visible pricing copy correctly stating that pricing is usage-based and varies by model and service group.

No additional submission or owner update was made. The remaining defects are now isolated to preview-route lifecycle and platform-generated Markdown/pricing metadata rather than the submitted 28-language listing payload.

Correction to the previous convergence note: the preferred localized URLs are still inconsistent across cache paths.

Current direct reads without query parameters returned the updated payload for 17/28 locales. The following 11 preferred URLs still returned the prior shared listing data on this edge: da, de, it, ko, nl, no, ru, th, uk, vi, and zh. The stale responses included the prior 81ad... wordmark asset, XiuAI/team ownership, Singapore metadata, the personal X account, and the fixed $0.0093+ prefix.

Cache-busting reads were not stable either: one full pass returned 24/28 updated responses, while immediate follow-up reads for en, ko, ru, and zh returned the updated 5d31255e... icon, XiuLab Inc, and the company social profiles. This indicates cache-shard inconsistency rather than reliable 28/28 convergence.

All 28 preferred routes continue to return HTTP 200 with self-canonical URLs, and the submitted payload/MCP/sitemaps remain correct. The rotating preview aliases, empty Markdown Official Website, chargeType=flat, subscription CTA, and JSON-LD price=0 USD defects remain unchanged.

No additional submission or owner update was made.

Live recheck after the cache window (2026-08-29T07:55:09+08:00) shows the issue is still reproducible:

• Direct canonical reads for da, de, it, ko, nl, no, ru, th, uk, vi, and zh still serve the previous shared listing data (old 81ad... wordmark, XiuAI/team ownership, Singapore metadata, personal X account, and fixed $0.0093+ prefix).
• A fresh bat-cli status --id 1197 returned another preview URL: https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFdBFZ9poYc4o.
• Five previously observed preview aliases were rechecked; all five still return HTTP 200, have no robots noindex, and self-canonicalize instead of pointing to /tools/router-xiu-ai.
• /en/tools/router-xiu-ai/markdown still renders Official Website with an empty value.
• The preferred HTML still emits one SoftwareApplication offer with price=0, which conflicts with the visible usage-based pricing copy.

The approved submission remains 1197, status=approved, languageCount=28; no additional submission or owner update was made.

Fresh live recheck at 2026-08-30T04:14+08:00 confirms the remaining defects are still reproducible with the approved OAuth session:

• bat-cli status --id 1197 still reports approved, languageCount=28, and now returned another preview alias: https://bataitools.com/tools/PWYUfTkU1I8eFyz8n8OfKTop.
• That alias returns HTTP 200, has no robots noindex, and self-canonicalizes instead of pointing to https://bataitools.com/tools/router-xiu-ai.
• A direct 28-locale canonical pass still returns the updated shared payload for 17/28 locales. The same 11 locales remain stale on this edge: da, de, it, ko, nl, no, ru, th, uk, vi, and zh. All 28 routes return HTTP 200 with their expected self-canonical URL.
• /en/tools/router-xiu-ai/markdown still returns HTTP 200 but leaves Official Website empty.
• The English canonical HTML still serializes chargeType=flat, renders Subscribe & upgrade now, and emits one SoftwareApplication offer with price=0 USD, while the visible copy correctly says pricing is usage-based.

No additional BAT submission or duplicate product was created. The listing payload itself remains correct: XiuRouter, 14 apps, XiuLab Inc, company social profiles, current media, and the qualified 90%+ claim.

Fresh live recheck at 2026-08-30T18:16+08:00 shows two parts of the report have now converged:

• The 11 previously stale preferred locales (da, de, it, ko, nl, no, ru, th, uk, vi, zh) now return the updated shared listing data on both direct canonical and cache-busting reads. Including English as a control, all 24/24 reads returned HTTP 200, the expected self-canonical URL, the approved 5d31255e... logo, all three current media URLs, XiuLab Inc, the company X/LinkedIn profiles, and none of the old 81ad..., hxrmudui, Singapore, or $0.0093 markers.
• The two latest preview aliases rechecked in this pass now return HTTP 404 instead of a self-canonical duplicate page:
  • PWYUfTkU1I8eFd5uGK4Hf8ux
  • PWYUfTkU1I8eFd5uGK4Hf93E

The submitted listing payload and current assets therefore appear converged. The remaining platform-generated defects are still reproducible:

• /tools/router-xiu-ai/markdown returns HTTP 200 but leaves Official Website empty.
• All 24 canonical/cache-busting reads still emit a SoftwareApplication offer with price=0, which conflicts with the visible usage-based pricing copy.

The current logo was also fetched and verified as 512x512 PNG with SHA-256 5d31255e2af963b699dae0297fd7bba412a762f23a01b7159cdf41012cb58299; the three referenced product images remain the expected XiuRouter homepage, Agent integrations, and Quickstart screenshots.

No additional submission or owner update was made.
