These numbers come from that run's saved results, not a re-run, so later changes can't move them. The app was not changed after seeing the result. One expected answer's reason text was later corrected for a store policy we had misread. See Corrections.
c0d3b0d (Nov 7, 2026, 12:34 AM EST): 29 of 30. Added conditioner, hair oil or serum, lip balm, kettle and toaster categories; where a sunscreen goes (face, body or both) became its product type, and a replacement must do the whole job of the item it replaces. Missed: h10.
e2c06ee (Nov 7, 2026, 12:42 AM EST): 29 of 30. Store return policies corrected (CVS beauty takes opened items back; Target's opened-electronics rule) and h09's expected reasons; engine unchanged. Missed: h10.
250e1c4 (Nov 8, 2026, 3:05 PM EST): 29 of 30. Store return-policy windows and sources corrected on 2026-11-08 (CVS beauty states no time limit; Kohl's beauty is 30 days; Sephora and Kohl's rules cite the stores' returns pages). No verdict rule reads the window; engine and expected answers unchanged. Missed: h10.
These products showed the gaps the changes fix, so the re-runs don't count as a fresh test. The headline stays 28 of 30.
Nov 7, 2026: store return policies. The policy table said CVS may refuse opened beauty (it cited CVS's general returns PDF; the beauty section of CVS's return policy page takes it back with a receipt) and that Target takes opened electronics back for exchange only (Target's exchange-only list doesn't include electronics).
