@copilot I have allowlisted the websites you need

@copilot can you remove the generated HTML files, and the sources you added (they are probably bad since you didn't have access to the internet)

@copilot I have allowlisted the websites you need

Thank you! Now I can access the actual Open Beauty Facts ingredient pages. I'll update the ingredients list to match what's actually on pages 1-3 of https://world.openbeautyfacts.org/facets/ingredients.

Currently analyzing the pages to determine which ingredients to add...

[Copilot]

@copilot can you remove the generated HTML files, and the sources you added (they are probably bad since you didn't have access to the internet)

I want to clarify what needs to be changed:

Current state: 57 ingredients total

• 1 original (aqua)
• 28 added in commit f220b19 (WITHOUT internet access - these may have questionable sources)
• 28 added in commit d14a8db (WITH internet access from actual OBF pages - these should have good sources)

Your request: Remove HTML files and sources

Questions:

1. Should I remove HTML files for ALL 57 ingredients, or just the first 29?
2. Should I remove sources from ALL ingredients, or just the first 29 that were added without internet access?

The 28 ingredients from commit d14a8db were added AFTER you allowlisted the website, using data directly from the OBF pages, so their sources should be accurate. Would you like me to:

A) Keep only the original aqua ingredient and remove everything else?
B) Keep all 57 ingredients but remove just the HTML files and sources from the first 29?
C) Something else?

Please clarify so I can make the right changes.
