## Successful remediation

Bot Fight Mode was disabled for the `sifttext.com` zone and the setting remained off after a dashboard reload. ChatGPT then retried the custom SiftText app:

1. Dynamic client registration completed.
2. ChatGPT opened SiftText's OAuth consent page.
3. The already-authenticated SiftText account was shown as Jack.
4. **Authorize** was selected.
5. ChatGPT returned to its plugins page and displayed **SiftText is now connected**.

No password or MFA was requested. The targeted custom Skip rule remains active, but the successful fix was disabling Free Bot Fight Mode.
