Feature: Local Wizard Friction Signals And UX QA Dashboard

[thisismyurl]

Summary

Add local-only wizard friction signals and an internal UX QA dashboard to identify where users pause, backtrack, or abandon guided flows without sending data off-site.

Why This Is Valuable

• UX improvements need evidence, not guesswork.
• Local-only signals preserve privacy while still informing iteration.
• Helps continuously simplify the plugin for non-technical users.

Goal

Capture privacy-respecting local friction metrics and expose them in an internal dashboard to guide UX improvements.

Scope

• Design the wizard UX pattern or flow for this feature using plain-language, non-technical copy.
• Ensure the flow explains what information is needed, why it matters, and how users can provide it.
• Add robust validation and state handling to prevent user confusion and accidental data loss.
• Add documentation and implementation notes for consistent rollout across future guided screens.

Implementation Steps

• Define user journey, states, and edge cases for this wizard UX feature.
• Create UI copy and component behavior aligned to non-technical user needs.
• Implement front-end and backend state handling as needed.
• Add tests for navigation, validation, and resume behavior where applicable.
• Document usage patterns and contribution standards for future wizard work.

Acceptance Criteria

• Non-technical users can complete the flow without needing technical terminology.
• The screen clearly explains what is being asked and why it matters.
• The feature reduces friction in optimization-related decision making.
• UX behavior is consistent with other guided flows in the plugin.
