Merchant Test Lab — mini course
Five-step path to validate Merchant before touching live seller dashboards.
- Load unpacked extension → reload after code changes.
- Open Etsy mock first — full field set (tags + materials + snippets).
- Run each mock page checklist — verify strip buttons match fields.
- Switch Options preset per platform — limits must match mock meta line.
- Finish with Seal & Ship on every page — staging must purge.

- Ephemeral staging panel — tags, materials, title/description. Save updates Pulse.
