notes: >
  2026-09-11: every direct request (robots.txt, /sitemap.xml, /data-centers, bot or browser UA) returns HTTP 429
  "Vercel Security Checkpoint" (JS attack-challenge). Scrapfly with ASP does pass (200) but is billed 30 credits per
  request (residential proxy 25 + browser 5), and even discovery needs robots + 9 sitemap shards (~300 credits) before
  a single facility page. That exceeds the 150-credit run budget and the "premium only when blocked, never for
  bulk crawl" rule, so no extractor is shipped and the connector is disabled rather than shipping broken or
  budget-breaking extraction. robots.txt (fetched once via Scrapfly) allows /data-centers/ and lists
  https://www.ironmountain.com/sitemap.xml → sitemap1..9.xml. Re-enable when the challenge is lifted or a cheap
  path exists; the facility URL pattern will then need to be confirmed on live pages before adding an extractor.
