Search ranks exact title matches below fuzzy ones (board 03's lens inspection; the owner deferred it to after launch).
The dispatch email has no plain-text version yet.
Password reset emails are not rate-limited per address (board 02's cross-model review; accepted as a debt until go-live).
The catalogue import keeps no record of which spreadsheet a title came from.
Basket expiry runs on page load, not on a schedule: an idle basket outlives its 30 days until its owner returns.

The project's rule

A green probe means the test doesn't test the guard

When removing the stock guard left every test passing, the builder stopped and reported instead of re-aiming the probe. The missing test was the real finding.

From each job · newest first

04BasketTwo tabs are two customers: test every shared row from both at once.

03SearchProbe every ranking rule, not just the happy path.

02Customer accountsWrite the hostile inputs into the work order: the builder tests what it is told to test.

01Catalogue importCount the rows in and the rows out: a silent skip looks exactly like a clean import.

The head · what done means

A customer can buy a book online, and stock never goes negative.

Judged by: An order placed on the live site reaches the shop's packing list within a minute, and the stock count drops by exactly one.

A made-up project showing what a Topping Out board looks like a few weeks in: an independent bookshop moving its catalogue, orders and stock online. Every job, number, quote and commit on this page is invented.
