Agents that record a workflow refer back to elements by selector. Stable ids and data-testid attributes survive a redesign; generated class names like `css-1x3kf9` do not, and every replay breaks.
Impact is importance multiplied by the confidence tier’s weight — SPECIFICATION 1.0, RESEARCH 0.7, EMERGING 0.3, EXPERIMENTAL 0.1. Two rules backed by the same class of evidence therefore always carry the same weight, which is what makes the score reproducible rather than hand-tuned.
