Measurement ideas
Track completion rate from URL paste to successful download (or honest failure). Segment by device class to see whether url normalization notes changes outcomes on phones vs desktops.
If you publish changelogs, reference guide #859 when you ship related fixes so internal search stays coherent.
Time zones in published dates
ISO `datetime` attributes should reflect a real clock choice (UTC recommended). Visible dates can stay user-friendly (“Updated April 2026”).
Large jumps in `dateModified` without content changes can look manipulative—update when you truly edit.
