Watch out for

VerifiEmail API calls may fail for obscure blogs so implement a fallback rule that allows manual review instead of auto-rejecting.
HTMLCSSToImage rendering can truncate long names or titles if the CSS container width is not set to auto-expand dynamically.
Gmail sending limits might block bulk badge distribution so add a delay node between emails to stay within daily quotas.
QR code generation must include error correction level Q or higher to ensure badges remain scannable even if printed on low-quality paper.
