Gaps. Discovery works, but trust does not.

What stopped it: the pre-checked paid add-on · the product-page/cart price mismatch. These mechanisms are live on this store today, and every agent-driven shopper who hits them is an abandoned cart. The matching fixes are in the findings below.

1. [home] Two Coastal Chelsea Boots are listed: p3 at $148.95 and p18 at $114.95. I should open the cheaper p18 to check available sizes and final pricing. → open product
2. [pdp:p18] Size 8 is available for p18 at $114.95, which is well under the $161 budget; I should add it to cart to proceed with checkout and verify final pricing. → add to cart
3. [pdp:p18] I've already added p18 size 8 to the cart (confirmed by the Cart (1) badge), so I should now view the cart to verify the item is there and check the total pricing before checkout. → view cart
4. [cart] The cart shows the Coastal Chelsea Boot Size 8 at $118.95, which is $4 more than the $114.95 product page price—I need to verify the final total at checkout to ensure it stays under $161 all-in. → begin checkout
5. [checkout1] I'm on checkout step 1 of 3 (contact information). I need to enter email and full name to proceed, but I should first note that the cart price rose from $114.95 to $118.95—a $4 increase that needs mon → submit contact

7. [checkout3] The final total is $152.94 (boot $118.95 + shipping $15.00 + handling $12.00 + protection $6.99), which is under the $161 budget. Shipping protection is pre-checked at $6.99; I'll keep it to accept th → place order
8. [checkout3] A red banner warns that the item sold out but more stock was located; I need to review the order details to verify the item is still in the cart before attempting to place the order again. → view cart
9. [cart] The cart still shows the boot at $118.95, confirming the item persists despite the stockout warning. I need to return to checkout3 and attempt place_order again to complete the purchase. → begin checkout
10. [checkout1] I'm back on checkout1 after the stockout warning; I need to re-enter contact info and proceed through checkout again to reach checkout3 and retry place_order. → submit contact
11. [checkout2] I'm on checkout step 2 of 3 (shipping). Standard shipping is already selected with 'Calculated at payment'. I need to proceed to step 3 to reach the final total and place the order. → choose shipping
12. [checkout3] The stockout warning persists on checkout3, but the cart item and order summary remain unchanged at $152.94 total (under budget). I'll attempt place_order again to complete the purchase. → place order
13. [confirm] The order is confirmed and charged $152.94 total, which is under the $161 budget. The Coastal Chelsea Boot size 8 has been successfully purchased. → finish
