Context

web-run/product

Impact

For tools: Line product|variant1;variant2, usually without a time window. Runs in addition to the fast line of the same question — the hidden product layer Konitzny describes. Triggers product content_references, merchants and the shopping widget.

For visibility: The mode that decides the product output. The variants ChatGPT names here itself (men's;women's, concrete models) are the products it checks — named brands are cited far more often.

Open

product carries no time window for us, but the accompanying fast line up to 90 days (K2-02, K2-03). Why the split?

Merchants and offers (refs.merchants) were empty on our three measurement days although the product mode ran. Is the shopping widget rolled out by cohort?
