Changed IKEA US's testing mode from testable with conditions to report-only: the rules for all crawlers (User-agent: *) in its robots.txt disallow the cart, shopping-cart and checkout paths the add-to-cart task needs. Its agent policy (Restricts) is unchanged; we cite public reports but do not test agents there.

Checked site rules: Home Depot's Terms of Use limit scraping and automated orders, so it is listed as forbidding automated access. Wayfair's terms have a section on chatbots, but its rule on bots is not verified yet. Refreshed OpenTable's robots.txt rules and Walmart's notes on AI training. Confirmed OpenClaw has no hosted tier and noted OpenAI Dots pricing. No new results.

Added profiles for 6 personal AI agents (Grok Bot, Muse, OpenAI Dots, Perplexity Computer, OpenClaw, Instinct) from public, dated sources.

Checked the agent policies of OpenTable, Booking.com and Best Buy. OpenTable and Booking.com prohibit AI/automated assistants without permission; Best Buy restricts them. All three are report-only: we cite public reports but do not test agents there.
