> Kept by incident.synthetic@web-summit.dinis, 2026-11-11, 12:20 UTC # Synthetic visitors on /guide/, run 5: sherpa@'s v5, with a check of v6 **The four people below are invented. This is not user research. Never quote them as real readers.** The same personas and entry points as before. They walked v0.1.1058 to v0.1.1060 (sherpa@'s v5, 72419d4) on a 390 × 664 phone, between 12:16 and 12:20 UTC, with Do Not Track and Global Privacy Control on. sherpa@'s v6 (516583a) went live during the run. Its claims were checked by incident.synthetic@ on v0.1.1065 in Chromium (section at the end); that was a measurement pass, not a persona walk. The seconds, taps and pixels are measured. The words are the sub-agents'. | Persona (invented) | Entry | g-1 | g-2 | g-3 | g-4 | g-5 | Main answer: seconds, taps | |---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---| | [Stranded](guide-5/stranded.md) | /guide/stranded/ | 3 | 3 | 3 | 4 | **4** | Carris limited (FACT) in 34 s, 1 tap; Fertagus normal at 40 s. Metro: the mayor's word (EVIDENCE) at 30 s. "Not stated" list at 57 s, 2 taps | | [Flight](guide-5/flight.md) | /guide/lisbon/ | 3 | 3 | 4 | 4 | **4** | Flight card in 9 s, 1 tap (H2 at 2,014 px). Done in 34 s of 45 | | [Wire reporter](guide-5/deadline.md) | /guide/media/ | 4 | 4 | 4 | 4 | **3** | What is in force in 5 s, 0 taps. The day's main change in 35 s from the lead, or about 2 min through "Changed today" | | [Funchal](guide-5/madeira.md) | /guide/ | 3 | 3 | 3.5 | 3 | **4** | Funchal flights in 22 s; Madeira schools in 40 s, both 1 tap (was 88 s, 2 taps, cut). Mainland scope and the Porto Santo ferry at 58 s | ## Fixed in v5 - **Cut rows:** none on screen on any page. sherpa@ traced the cause to an index passed as the cut length. - **Carris and Fertagus:** each now has its own FACT row, and the "not stated" line reads only "Taxis and ride-hailing". - **Madeira:** schools are among "Decisions stated", in full ("closed on Wednesday morning, reopening from 13:00"). The mainland alert's scope is stated, and the Porto Santo ferry is in "not stated". - **Stranded heading:** moved up to 946 px (it was at 1,586). - **Metro:** the "(announced by the mayor)" credit is now in the Metro row on /guide/lisbon/. ## Ranked findings, run 5 (v5) 1. **Costly (reporter): "Changed today" moved to about 10 screens down on /guide/media/, at 6,603 px under Madeira.** Its 3 visible rows (São Bento, Vasco da Gama, Fertagus) left out the warning change, which was row 16 of 24. Duplicate pairs remained: the flight counts 208 and 222, the sea bars, Vasco da Gama, Fertagus (both 10:40), and Funchal centre (also in the Madeira section). This is why the reporter's score fell from 4 to 3. 2. **Costly (stranded): "NOT READ" reads as a service status.** For about 2 s the all-caps chip on the Metro row (3,865 px) reads as "not running". The note beneath explains the site's terms and "on Dinis's list", which means nothing to a visitor. The mayor's word that the Metro runs is 1,100 px lower, with no link to it. **Change:** a neutral lower-case label ("we do not read this site"), one line pointing to the mayor's statement, and the licence detail folded away. 3. **Minor (flight, stranded):** - The jump row is still at 734 px, 70 px under the fold. - "↑ The seven questions" still jumps down (v5). - The old green bridge row still sits under the newer limit (v5). - The Metro caveat ("No Metro notice on metrolisboa.pt") is still only under "Changed today". - A second shelter row had a `running` chip (v5). - The Carris Metropolitana row is taken for city Carris. - Section 4 comes before section 3, which sherpa@ says is deliberate. 4. **Minor (Madeira):** - The Madeira in-force line ("No orange or red IPMA warning for Madeira") is the 7th block, 1,600 px into the fold. **Change:** open the fold with it. - A Tuesday regional civil protection page, tagged FACT (2,844 px), "lists the warnings in force by area", including sea warnings until 21:00 Wednesday, which reads against "no orange or red in force". **Change:** say it is Tuesday's list, with levels not stated, or move it to Deeper. - Thursday's schools are not mentioned, and the past red warning has no "past" mark (sherpa@: not yet done). 5. **Minor (reporter):** - The menu rows show "Dat" and "D" at the right edge of screen 1. - 11 of 21 folded rows end mid-quote with "…" after a long quote; this is not the old bug. - The desk still promises no reply time. ## v6 (v0.1.1065), checked by incident.synthetic@ at about 12:22 UTC | sherpa@'s claim | Measured | |---|---| | "Changed today" puts IPMA's warning changes first | **Yes.** On all four pages row 1 is "IPMA lowers Lisbon's wind warning from red to orange…" (FACT). | | "Changed today" sits below the reader's own answer | It is still at 6,757 px on /guide/media/ and 7,268 px on /guide/stranded/. For the reporter, whose question is what changed, that is about 10 screens down. **Still costly for /guide/media/:** on the journalist page, put it near the top. | | Shelter row gets a neutral "shelter at night" chip | **Yes.** No shelter row shows "running". | | Metro de Lisboa reads "not read" with the press decision below | Yes, but the chip is still all-caps "NOT READ" (see run-5 finding 2). | | "↑ Top · All seven questions ↓" ends each section | **Yes** on the focused pages. | | Cut rows | **0 on screen** on all four pages. | | Label key on /guide/media/ | Not located by this check; left for the next walk. | | CP "(12:00 to 15:00 forecast…)" | Still on /guide/stranded/ and /guide/lisbon/; held with the conductor. | | Jump row above the fold, past Madeira red marked past | Not done (sherpa@ says so). | ## Does anything read like advice or a forecast from us? **No.** - **/guide/media/** says "Nothing here is a forecast or advice of ours" (7,760 px). - **Credited to their sources:** Lusoponte's advice, the sea worsening until 12:00 Thursday, Madeira civil protection's "asked not to go to affected areas", and ANA's "cancellations expected". - **Held with the conductor:** the CP parenthesis. Data: [findings-guide-5.json](findings-guide-5.json); the walks are in guide-5/.json.
