Partially completed

Dana reached checkout, but the order total was $11.99 too low: the cart let the cable's quantity drop to −1.

  • Search found the charger on the first try
  • “−” at quantity 1 left the cable in the cart at 0 instead of removing it
  • A second tap set it to −1, and checkout charged $18.00 for a $29.99 charger

Sitemaps, robots rules and llms.txt.

Can they read them?

Headings, landmarks and labels.

Can they get around?

Links and buttons they can use without guessing.
