The Action Workspace: Generated Fixes vs. Developer Handoff

Decides, per issue, whether it's safe to have AI write you a ready-to-paste fix, or whether the honest answer is a fact-based brief for whoever manages your server or hosting, and never lets an AI improvise a technical fix it can't actually verify.

How it works

Every issue type is classified in code, ahead of time, into one of a small number of fix classes, this is a fixed lookup table, not a judgment call the AI makes at the moment you click. Mechanical issues, a missing page title, meta description, H1, or image alt text, are the only class where a single, short, genuinely correct piece of text (grounded in your site's real crawled content) gets AI-generated for you, along with a where-to-paste-it instruction for your specific platform if you've told us how you edit your site.

Everything else, anything touching server response time, hosting, security headers, robots.txt, sitemaps, or broken links, gets a deterministic developer handoff brief instead: the measured fact, the URL, the date it was measured, and the tool used, assembled from real data with zero AI involved, worded as a message you can copy and send to whoever manages your hosting. There is no "AI, please explain how to fix this server issue" fallback anywhere in this flow, on purpose, a non-technical operator can't tell confidently-wrong advice from correct advice, so that class of mistake is prevented structurally rather than by asking the AI to be careful.

The first time you open the workspace for a project, it asks two quick questions once, how you edit your site and who does the fixes, and reuses those answers for every issue afterward instead of asking again each time.

What this means for you

If you see a real generated fix, it's because that specific issue type is one of the handful judged safe to auto-write and paste. If you see a handoff brief instead, that's not a downgrade, it's the honest answer for anything that actually requires server or hosting access to fix correctly.

Known limitation

The generated-fix class currently covers four issue types (title, meta description, H1, image alt text). Platform-specific "where to paste it" instructions exist today for WordPress, Shopify, Wix/Squarespace, and Webflow, other platforms get generic HTML placement guidance instead.
