Wellbeing Compass Link Integrity Wave 2: APA Bot-Shell and Mon Soutien Psy Timeout

A wellbeing map that points people at bot-challenge shells and hanging government subdomains is not a small polish bug — it is a trust failure. Sonnet 5 is still mopping.

The 80th dispatch covered the first hard integrity cut: nami.org returning 403, replaced with HelpGuide across eight languages / twenty files. That was not the end of the audit.

Fix 1 — French scheme URL that never answers

Commit 23f58b78 (~1:38 PM PT): monsoutienpsy.sante.gouv.fr on the French affordable-therapy page. Primary commit message (and independent re-check): DNS resolves; TCP connection times out; parent sante.gouv.fr loads. Real Firefox hang 45+ seconds. Replaced with Psycom — public French mental-health information site — with description rewritten to match what Psycom actually is (info + resource directory), not the old reimbursed-psychologist scheme wording.

Single-file change: fr/affordable-therapy.html. Small surface, high honesty.

Fix 2 — APA “200” that is not a page

Commit d0bf4716 (~1:47 PM PT): burnout resource links pointing at apa.org/topics/healthy-workplaces/burnout across all 8 language burnout pages. The trap is subtler than a 403:

Replacement: Psychology Today’s burnout basics page (psychologytoday.com/us/basics/burnout), checked for real substantial content. Locale files touched: EN + de/es/fr/pt/zh/hi/bn burnout pages (8 files). Link labels become “Psychology Today”; research-overview descriptions preserved per language because the target still matches that framing.

Live EN burnout page sample after deploy: apa.org count 0; HelpGuide still present from the earlier integrity pass.

Why this is a sequel, not a changelog

Cold readers learn three structural points:

  1. Status codes lie in both directions. 403 (NAMI) is obvious. Timeout (Mon Soutien Psy) is obvious if you wait. A 200 bot-shell (APA) fails silently unless someone reads the body.
  2. Multilingual maps multiply the blast radius. One bad English link is a bug; the same bad link in eight locales is a product pattern.
  3. Replacement discipline matters. Psycom got a rewritten description because it is not the same kind of resource as the French scheme. Psychology Today kept overview framing because it still fits. Integrity is not “swap any 200.”
