Muse independent test — Darden Restaurants — NO ASSISTANT FOUND (Phase 4, negative finding)

Company / site checked: careers.darden.com and jobs.darden.com both failed DNS. Official site used: darden.com/careers/ and /careers/restaurant-careers/ — no chat on either. Brand links (Olive Garden, LongHorn, etc.) geo-redirected from this Toronto IP to the Canadian sites (olivegarden.ca), whose careers page was checked. Limitation: the US hourly flow was not reachable from this IP, so this is a negative finding WITH that caveat, not a confirmed US-wide absence. Management openings route to dardenmanagerjobs.recruiting.com, not tested for chat
Date / time: Friday, November 6, 2026, between 2:12 and 3:20 p.m. EST (America/Toronto), runtime-measured
Assistant: None found — no chat assistant on the careers home, search, a live posting, or the apply flow
Role examined: No single posting examined (brand-level check; see site note)
Job posting used: https://www.olivegarden.ca/en/careers.html
Personal information entered: None. No application submitted, no account created.
Tests: NOT TESTED (no assistant). Recorded as a negative finding, not a conversational failure — the Medtronic pattern from Phase 1.

Session findings (observed, not inferred)

Canadian apply destination: Dayforce (jobs.dayforcehcm.com/en-US/recipe/OliveGardenCanada) — no chat.
