One useful habit for these discussions is to distinguish a confirmed observation from a proposed explanation. “The URL returns 200” is something we can check; “the crawler is ignoring it because of quality” needs more evidence.
If you share a diagnosis, include what would change your mind. That gives replies a practical starting point and keeps a troubleshooting thread from turning into a list of confident guesses.
