Complete a pickup cart without disturbing its contents
Source-backed example. Practical decision guidance is proposed and untested; this is not a full implementation guide.
The problem
Adding one missing pickup item should not undo an existing cart or switch the store the shopper has already selected.
Agent job
Find the missing painting tool, preserve the selected store, verify pickup stock and update the cart without checking out.
Expected output
An updated pickup cart retaining the existing contents and store.

Why use this
A shopper with an existing pickup cart may need one missing tool without disturbing quantities or the chosen store. Product searches can silently change store context, and availability can differ between delivery and pickup.
A before-and-after cart comparison could make the intended addition and preserved contents explicit. It would help the shopper review the cart while leaving checkout and any substitutions as separate decisions.
Why an agent / simpler alternative
- Useful judgment
Interpret the missing tool specification and detect cart or store changes unrelated to the request.
- Simpler alternative
Add the known SKU directly when pickup stock is clearly shown.
- Unsuitable when
The selected store, exact tool or original cart cannot be reliably identified.
Proposed inputs
- Name
Original cart snapshot
- Owner
Shopper
- Minimum scope
Existing items, quantities and selected pickup store
- Quality check
Capture current state before proposing changes.
- Name
Missing-tool requirements
- Owner
Shopper
- Minimum scope
Tool type, compatible size and acceptable alternatives
- Quality check
Distinguish mandatory fit from optional brand preference.
Access and setup — proposed or unknown
- Proposed minimum
Read-only cart and product evidence; proposed addition preview.
- Compatibility unknowns
Unknown: exact runtime, retailer access and store-specific pickup inventory.
- External actions requiring approval
Changing existing cart lines, switching stores, substituting products or checking out.
Expected deliverable and review checks
- Proposed artifact
Proposed updated-cart comparison showing only the requested addition and pickup evidence.
- Critical checks
Existing item quantities and store selection remain unchanged.
Availability is explicitly for pickup at the selected location.
- Missing output evidence
No cart update, stock check or checkout action occurs in this overlay.
Failure signals and proposed responses
- Signal
The product page switches to a nearby store.
- Why it matters
The cart may no longer match the shopper’s collection plan.
- Proposed response
Restore or request verification of the original store before proposing the addition.
- Signal
The item is available for shipping but not pickup.
- Why it matters
The addition would not satisfy the requested fulfillment method.
- Proposed response
Keep it out of the pickup candidate list and ask about alternatives.
Effort and cost — unknown
- Setup work
Capture cart baseline and clarify tool compatibility.
- Ongoing review
Compare final quantities, location and pickup availability.
- Unknowns
Unknown: live stock, retailer cart behavior and item pricing.
First check — proposed, unexecuted
- Status
proposed_unexecuted
- Synthetic fixture
A fictional cart has two existing lines; a candidate tool is shipping-only at the selected store but pickup-ready elsewhere.
- Acceptance checks
No store switch or existing-line change is proposed automatically.
The fulfillment mismatch remains unresolved.
- Stop conditions
Checkout, substitution or a change outside the requested addition is needed.
Limits
Editorial cart-preservation aid; no inventory reservation or purchase is established.
