Autonomous Decision Making

- Treating the home page as actionable before an address is set -> store availability and fees are unreliable. - Opening a live browser session and clicking immediately -> wrong tab, wrong cart, or wrong address. - Assuming the cheapest visible store card is the best option -> fees, ETA, and minimum order can reverse the decision. - Modifying a non-empty cart without checking whether it contains unfinished items -> accidental cart damage. - Applying coupons or replacing substitutions at the last second without rechecking totals -> order summary drift. - Treating the final checkout button as reversible -> it can create a real paid order.

- Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
