Check whether the outcome improved
Exercise the recovery matrix
Cover refresh, back navigation, browser close, session expiry, address error, shipping change, payment decline, delayed result, and explicit sign-in choice. Assert preserved cart, address, shipping, message, and next action for each controlled fixture.
Repeat across contexts
Run the same fixture on desktop and narrow screens, with locale changes and a restored cart. Confirm focus and text remain usable. Verify a sign-in transition preserves only the intended cart and does not leak another session's work.
Compare order states
Complete safe payment and interruption paths, then compare payment and order records with the resumed page. Confirm retry controls follow known state. Mark external redirect timing or unavailable status as partial verification rather than assuming no charge.
What to carry forward
Accept when each tested interruption preserves the intended cart state and exposes a truthful, non-duplicating next action. Mark post-payment or browser contexts partial when their status cannot be controlled, with the exact missing evidence recorded.
Keep the decision with the work.
Use a Work Item in Aglet to record the problem, the evidence you have, and the next decision. Add an owner and priority, then keep updates in the discussion so the next person can follow the reasoning.
