fix(providers): a link to content is not an account - #21

Conversation
Found by crawling stripe.com for real: a footer link to a YouTube video produced the identity `youtube:watch`, because the first path segment of `/watch?v=...` was taken as a handle. The resolver would then weigh that as a claim about a person. A junk identity is worse than a missing one. Handles now reject known content, search and site-furniture roots, and have to look like a handle rather than a page or a file. Re-crawling stripe.com and vercel.com afterwards returns only real accounts. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>

Found by crawling stripe.com for real, not by reading the code.
Its footer links to a YouTube video.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=…haswatchas its first path segment, and the extractor took the first segment as a handle — so the crawl produced the identityyoutube:watchand handed it to the resolver as a claim about a person.A junk identity is worse than a missing one: the resolver weighs it, and a fabricated account is exactly the kind of thing that ends up attached to the wrong human.
Handles now reject known content, search and site-furniture roots (
watch,playlist,shorts,search,explore,terms, …), and have to look like a handle rather than a page or a file.Before and after, on the real page
vercel.com re-crawled clean as well.
