In the Shopify case the login was completely unusable.","cause":"The agent computer browses from datacenter IP addresses with a bot-flagged fingerprint, which anti-bot systems such as Cloudflare and hCaptcha reject.","detection":"The Bot is expected to ask for takeover, but that handoff is not reliable; the Suno case shows the takeover completing and the action still failing silently.","fix":"Design a fallback for every hostile site: official API, vendor connector, or a manual escalation path. Vendor staff prescribed exactly this for Shopify, recommending an Admin API access token instead of the login page.
