Every one of them is a site that answers the same way for any username, so the check said "claimed" for everyone.
Two of them are proof-of-work interstitials that come back with a 2xx, and those are worth a global marker rather than a per-site patch: joyreactor.cc now runs Anubis (`/.within.website/x/`, HTTP 200 on every path) and fixya.com serves an HTTP 202 with `window.POW_CHALLENGE_DATA`. Both are vendor products used far beyond these two sites, so they go into COMMON_ERRORS and the sites report bot protection instead of a hit.
The rest are per-site rot. championat.com answers every `/user/*` with the same 686-byte SberID auth stub, profiles are behind login now, disabled. forum.heroesworld.ru redirects to the forum index, which never contains the vBulletin absence marker, the forum has moved to `heroesworld.ru/user/{username}/` where a missing user is a clean 404. Codédex was a status_code check and flapped to 200 on a missing profile once in about fifteen requests, so it now matches the og:title of a real profile.
OP.GG search falls back to other regions when the requested one has no hit: `?q=soxoj®ion=ru` returns an Oceania summoner, and the shared engine marker `href="/lol/summoners/` matched it, so all seventeen region entries claimed the account. The marker moves from the engine to each site with its region baked in. Name matching is already exact on op.gg's side, `q=blaz` returns only summoners named exactly Blaz, so the region was the whole leak.
* fix: don't treat refused or self-redirected responses as not-found
401 and 429 fell through to the checkType branch, where any non-2xx code means the username is free, so blocked and rate-limited requests were reported as confirmed absences; they now return errors, Vercel's Security Checkpoint joins the bot-protection markers, and a self-redirect that carries Set-Cookie is retried once instead of read as an absence.
* Fix site checks: 16 sites, 3 fixed, 12 disabled, 1 dead deleted
* docs: note that the joyreactor self-redirect is intermittent
