Problem-first libraryEvidence → root cause → fix → verification
Start with the outcome you need
Three core guides for three different kinds of storefront work.
Use the cornerstone guides when you need the wider context. Use the problem library when you already have a specific finding in front of you.
Shopify problem library
Go straight to the storefront signal you found.
Each guide maps to real audit-engine diagnostics and explains the evidence, likely root cause, fix path and verification logic without pretending every detector is equally certain.
