Description

@1337god @LouiseMensch

Opened this thread to keep discussion out of #518

```html

Verifying myself: I am 1337god on Keybase.io. 52Rp68Br827ru2xryZ88gKd355_62u22FxZQd / https://keybase.pub/1337god/Ve....rification/wrongthin

```

For reference, it seems that the platform truncates urls which are beyond a preset limit.

This could make it difficult for the web scraper to identify a valid proof--but I'm not sure.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the discussion in issue #2950 and the referenced issue #518, then examine the linked example of the truncated URL and the web scraper behavior it describes. The issue does not name files or tests, and completion criteria are not defined beyond determining whether URL truncation can prevent valid proof identification.
