# The flow timeline

> Every step the browser took, with screenshots and reasoning

The flow timeline at the bottom of every results page is a step-by-step replay of what the browser actually did during the test. Use it to understand context, debug weird issues, and see exactly what the persona was reacting to.

## What a step contains

Each step in the timeline has:

* **A screenshot** — captured before the action was executed.
* **The action** — click, type, select, scroll, wait, navigate, complete, or abandon.
* **Target details** — for click/type/select, which element the agent targeted.
* **The agent's reasoning** — what it was thinking when it chose the action.

## Why the timeline matters

* **Interprets ambiguous issues.** When an issue says "the button was unclear," the timeline shows you which button and what was on-screen when the persona saw it.
* **Debugs abandonments.** If the test abandoned early, the last few steps show you what tripped the agent up.
* **Spots false positives.** If an issue feels wrong, look at the screenshot — sometimes the agent misread the page and the issue doesn't apply.
* **Validates the run.** Confirms Percio actually did the thing you wanted tested before you trust the score.

## Action types

* **Click** — a click on a specific element.
* **Type** — text typed into an input.
* **Select** — a value chosen from a dropdown.
* **Scroll** — scrolling the viewport or a specific container.
* **Wait** — pausing for a page transition or async action to finish.
* **Navigate** — loading a new URL.
* **Complete** — the agent decided the scenario was done.
* **Abandon** — the agent decided the scenario was unreachable.

## Reading a "stuck" run

If the timeline shows the agent clicking the same area repeatedly, or bouncing between the same few actions, the run was probably stuck. Common causes:

* A modal or cookie banner the agent didn't dismiss.
* A form that silently failed validation.
* A CTA that looked interactive but wasn't (e.g. styled as a button but not clickable).
* A CAPTCHA or bot-detection interstitial.

These are all usability signals in themselves — if Percio's agent got stuck, a real user might too.
