checkout: if first step = plan, then email/username/password is required validation triggers on first step

[commercial-hippie]

Hi

We don't update quite often, maybe every 2 weeks. Since the last update our checkout is triggering validation errors on the first step of the checkout. Our first step just has a "pricing_table" and "submit_button". Account details is only on step 4.

• Email is required.
• Username is required.
• Password is required.

These errors don't happen if the user is logged in already.

Thanks,
Michael

Escalation Blocked: Missing Implementation Context

Trigger: 2 consecutive worker failures (threshold: 2)
Action: Escalation skipped — issue body lacks file paths and implementation steps.

Workers fail when they must explore the entire codebase to find what to change. Adding explicit file paths, reference patterns, and verification commands to the issue body is more effective than escalating to a more expensive model.

Required: Update the issue body with a ## How section containing:

• Files to modify (with paths and line ranges)
• Reference pattern (model on <existing-file>)
• Verification command
