+# DR-003: Website Build-Stack Fingerprinting + SSR Signal
+
+**Date:** 2026-08-17
+**Status:** Accepted
+**Supersedes:** nothing (extends v1.1 capture contract)
+
+## Context
+
+The Phoenix Salon + Spa audit (2026-08-17) shipped a finding — "no street
+address on /contact" — that was false: the address exists but is rendered
+client-side, so the pipeline's plain-HTTP capture did not see it and downstream
+analysis could not distinguish "content missing" from "content present but
+JS-rendered." The site was built on Lovable (Vite SPA behind Cloudflare); the
+capture did not record that, so the fix path ("one-time build fix" vs "edit
+content") had to be discovered by hand.
+
+## Decision
+
+1. `multi_scraper.py` records, at website capture time:
+   - `website.stack.detected` / `website.stack.primary` — build-stack
+     fingerprint (Lovable, v0, Next.js, Nuxt, Gatsby, Vite, React/Angular/Vue/
+     Svelte, WordPress, Squarespace, Wix, Webflow, Shopify, hosts).
+   - `website.stack.html_word_count` / `website.stack.ssr_signal` — word count
+     a non-JavaScript crawler reads from the raw HTML (`weak` < 50 words).
+2. SOP v1.2: the report states the build stack when known and flags weak SSR;
+   capture-based website findings must be qualified by SSR signal.
+3. `multi_scraper.py --selftest` covers fingerprinting (Lovable fixture, weak
+   vs present SSR) and runs in CI-free environments without network.
+
+## Rationale
+
+Knowing how a site is built determines (a) what the capture can and cannot
+see, and (b) the cheapest correct fix. Regex fingerprinting on raw HTML is
+deliberate: known-site audits need a label, not a scanner — false negatives
+land in `unknown`, never a confident wrong answer.
+
+## Verification
+
+- `--selftest`: PASS (Lovable fixture → primary=lovable, ssr=weak; 80-word
+  page → ssr=present, primary=unknown).
+- Live re-capture of phoenixcameronpark.com: `detected=['lovable']`,
+  `html_word_count=13`, `ssr_signal=weak` — matches the manual Playwright
+  audit of the same day.
