Why the first run never alerts

The first time StillChecksOut runs a journey, the usual outcome is a miss. The selector points at last week's button. The test password was never saved. The path stops one page earlier than you meant.

If that miss sent an email, the inbox would fill up while you were still writing the check. The next real failure would sit in a list of messages you had already learned to skip.

So the first completed run is a baseline. It is stored, with a screenshot, and it does not alert. The run after that, if it fails, is tried once more. Only the second failure sends the screenshot, the step, and a fix prompt.

That rule is the whole product in one sentence: do not page a person for a journey that has never succeeded.
