Live Product Grounding (agent-native)

Field = the running product and its repo — not physical site visits.

Sources

Source	Use
Repo	Routes, components, surfaces[].source
base_url walkthrough	Real navigation, states, errors
User-provided captures	Screenshots, logs, support tickets

Ground every screen and operation claim in evidence or mark assumption.

When to run

• Design — map existing UI before extending contract
• Verify — compare live behavior to run.json

Anti-patterns

• Ethnography logistics — travel, recruitment, consent forms
• Design from memory — screens not tied to repo or walkthrough
