OAuth branding verification stuck — 3 independent verified fixes, identical instant rejection every time (PII Removed by Staff)

My project (PII Removed by Staff) has been stuck in Branding verification with these two reported issues:

  • “Your home page does not explain the purpose of your app”
  • “The app name ‘MoneyForge’ configured for your OAuth consent screen does not match the app name on your home page”

I’ve made three separate, independently-verified fixes over the past day, re-submitting via “I have fixed the issues” after each:

  1. Homepage content rewritten to explicitly state app name/purpose, confirmed live via direct HTTP check.
  2. Disabled “Enforce HTTPS” on the GitHub Pages host, since http:// (no TLS) was 301-redirecting rather than serving content directly — confirmed this now returns 200 with the correct content.
  3. Verified domain ownership of the bare domain via a Search Console Domain property (not just a URL-prefix property), via DNS TXT record — confirmed verified.

Each submission returns the identical two rejection messages, word-for-word, within under 5 minutes — no variation despite genuinely different, verified changes each time. This strongly suggests either the submission isn’t reaching real review, or the checker isn’t reading current content.

Could someone confirm whether a submission is actually reaching backend review for this project, or manually trigger a real re-check? Happy to provide any further detail.
