Agent-Readable
Agents can read the site, but acting on it still breaks. Paste this line where you want the seal: it is drawn at runtime, so it upgrades itself when you improve and removes itself if a deploy closes the site to agents.
<script src="https://qomvia.com/badge.js" data-slug="ndr-de" async></script>There is no image URL and no static version. The seal exists only as markup we serve per request, which is what makes it worth displaying.
