# Architecture walkthrough verification

Checked October 21, 2026 in the Codex in-app browser.

**48 included locations · 25 countries · 6 continents · 5 excluded candidates.**

## Method and limits

Each included destination was opened in a browser. A rendered panorama or 3D scene was visually inspected and a rotation control, room menu, or navigation control was exercised. HTTP success and source-page descriptions alone were not considered verification. Links to collection pages were replaced with direct viewer URLs where needed. No payment or sign-in was needed for the included scenes during these checks.

These are smoke checks, not exhaustive route tests. A panorama can show a single viewpoint or several linked positions; interior access and routes vary. Not every hotspot, room, floor, loading tile, device, or browser was tested. Some screenshots capture a rotating or loading transition, and their temporary blur does not imply that full-resolution imagery is unavailable. Tour availability can change. Coordinates locate the architecture approximately and do not identify each panorama camera position.

## Excluded candidates

These candidates remain in the audit register for follow-up but are not in the public collection. An unconfirmed result is not a claim that no working tour exists elsewhere.

## Original collection repairs

Direct destinations replaced the original collection/search links for Machu Picchu, Robben Island, Versailles, Villa Arson, National Congress of Brazil and Muchelney Abbey. Sagrada Família now opens the official Nativity Façade panorama. St. Peter’s now opens the basilica viewer directly, with its optional tutorial noted. All 12 original locations remain included.
