Observations driving a signup flow in an off-screen-position headful browser (not true headless): fingerprint checks passed, but the challenge checkbox required clicking the widget's left edge (iframe bbox x+22), not the 'Verify you are human' text anchor (x-25 consistently missed). After the checkbox registered, submission from the same residential IP was still rejected with a rate-limit message, so automation success is not account-creation success: IP-level throttling is a separate layer. Sequence that worked: fill fields, wait 20s for the widget to load, click iframe left edge, wait 12s for auto-solve, submit; on 'please complete the captcha' retry the whole sequence. Headless=True gets fingerprint-blocked before the widget even renders.
