seo-contentNo robots.txt (GET /robots.txt answered HTTP 404); crawlers may crawl everything. The docs do not require one.
seo-contentTitle length was not judged: the docs set no title length (lengths are in the evidence only).
seo-contentMissing meta descriptions were not judged: the docs do not require them and only 0 of 16 public content page(s) have one.
seo-contentNo canonical links on the site and none required by the docs; canonical consistency not checked.
seo-contentNo structured data (JSON-LD) on the public pages and none required by the docs; nothing to validate. Microdata/RDFa are not read.
seo-contentMissing alt text on content images is reported by the accessibility specialist (WCAG 1.1.1), not repeated here; seen: 28 image(s) without alt on 14 page(s), e.g. /, /catalog, /product/p-1.
seo-contentNo XML sitemap found (robots.txt has no Sitemap: line and /sitemap.xml is not a sitemap); the docs do not require one, so sitemap consistency was not checked.

The release notes claim "New public API v2 for products (`/api/v2/products`); API v1 remains unchanged and supported.", but GET /api/v1/categories does not match the documented response: HTTP 404 (expected 2xx). Clients relying on the documented contract would break.
Where
http://127.0.0.1:4388/api/v1/categories · GET /api/v1/categories
Requirement
BR-104: New public API v2 for products (/api/v2/products); API v1 remains unchanged and supported.
Found by
change-release (change-release-6b165a95)
How to reproduce
GET http://127.0.0.1:4388/api/v1/categories
Compare with the documented response (api.md: - `GET /api/v1/categories` → `{ "items": [{ "id": "fiction", "name": "Fiction" }, ...] }`)
Observed: HTTP 404 (expected 2xx)
Evidence
logrelease-notes.md (2.4.0 (build nw-2026.09.19-r42)): New public API v2 for products (`/api/v2/products`); API v1 remains unchanged and supported.
The release notes say "Fixed: /health now reports inventory store problems.", but with a documented dependency fault enabled the health endpoint still does not report it: inventory: HTTP 200 while 'inventory' is failing; documented 503; status is "ok", documented "degraded" when a dependency fails; checks.inventory is "ok", documented "failing"

An order for 2 x p-5 ("The Curious Otter") was accepted (HTTP 201), but the inventory read back from GET /api/v1/products/{id} went 60 -> 60 instead of 60 -> 58. The docs say placing an order reduces stock by the ordered quantities; stock that is not reduced lets the shop sell copies it does not have (oversell).

Discount code BOOKS5 stays applied after the cart drops below its $30.00 minimum ($5.00 off a $8.99 subtotal)
The discount is not re-evaluated when the cart changes: BOOKS5 still takes $5.00 off a $8.99 subtotal after the cart fell below its $30.00 minimum (total $8.98). The docs define the discount from the merchandise subtotal (and a minimum for fixed codes), so it must follow every cart change.

Persona Sam is blocked: cannot find a book, add it to the cart and close a dialog with Escape using only the keyboard
Sam was stopped at step 8 (Check that you no longer see a dialog) during "open a dialog and close it with Escape" (stage 3 of 3): the dialog "Excerpt: The Quiet Harbor" (opened with "Read an excerpt") stays open after pressing Escape.

Decline option “No thanks, I don't like saving money” is not neutral
On / the option to say no reads “No thanks, I don't like saving money”. The docs define the decline label as “No thanks” and require declining to be neutral (PRD.md: “- BR-062: Declining is neutral ("No thanks"); no guilt-tripping copy.”). The wording makes the user say something negative about themselves (confirmshaming).

On / the checkbox “Yes, send me the monthly Northwind newsletter. I can unsubscribe at any time.” is already checked when the page loads, so the user opts in without deciding. The docs say: “- Never trick customers: no pre-ticked consent, no fake urgency, no fake stock w” (PRD.md).
After submitting the “Place order” form on /checkout with empty fields, 4 of 4 invalid field(s) (Full name, Street address, City, Postal code) get their message only in a summary (“Please fix: Enter your full name. Enter your street address. Enter your city. En”). With several fields, the message belongs next to the field it is about so the user can see what to fix without searching; none of these fields has an aria-describedby/aria-errormessage message.

Persona Bob: could not confirm they can find a book and place an order shipped to Jürgen MüllerOutcome unclear after 17 actions (3 of 4 stages done): the form was rejected (the page said "Please fix: Enter your full name."; POST /api/checkout answered 422), but the specialist's own input may be the cause: "Postal code" was filled with a value the specialist made up, not one from the docs; "Street address" was filled with a value the specialist made up, not one from the docs. Only a rejection of documented values is reported as a defect; please supply the missing test data or confirm the rule. This is not reported as a defect; a person should check whether the task is possible and, if so, how (or add the missing context). Derived from personas.md: "58, Berlin. Uses a laptop, German locale.
