Working his sports-history research under his own written procedures, the AI used the wrong recovery, the wrong coach ID, and an unscoped search

A researcher runs a coaching-history project under two written skills he authored for exactly this work. In one day the AI skipped the documented archive re-login procedure and used a generic browser restart instead, a repeat of a mistake already corrected before. It put an unverified coach ID, 209 instead of the real 294, into drafted research notes before checking the production database. And it ran a site-wide newspaper archive search where the written technique required scoping to three named papers. Every error was against a procedure that already existed in writing.

This one went wrong. See what happened before you try it.

With a reservation set, Naver itself posts at the chosen time even with the computer off.
