Report #906

[architecture] AI search engines and agents cannot reliably extract entities, facts, and relationships from my rendered HTML

Emit schema.org JSON-LD inside

Journey Context:
Classical SEO used JSON-LD to qualify for rich snippets; generative-engine optimization uses it to give LLMs unambiguous, structured facts to cite. The biggest trap is generating structured data client-side: many AI crawlers fetch fast and do not fully render JavaScript, so the JSON-LD may be invisible. Another trap is over-investing in visual-only schema while skipping types that answer engines care about, such as FAQPage, HowTo, and SoftwareApplication. FAQ and HowTo map directly to question-answering formats; SoftwareApplication helps tools get cited in 'best X' queries; Organization with sameAs links anchors brand entity resolution. Do not stuff keywords or add invisible content — that erodes trust. Validate with Google's Rich Results Test and the Schema Markup Validator, but remember those tools test syntax; the real test is whether a crawler can fetch the raw HTML and see the JSON-LD immediately.
