C50 — Robustness (High)

• Context: any → /
• Chat id: uat-comparison-openai-original-uat-2026-10-05T11-14-39-C50
• Script: During an email capture step the visitor enters a malformed address (for example name@gmial,com), then submits.
• Expected: Capture runs through the inline form (Section 4.3) with format validation: the visitor is prompted to correct the address before submission. The agent never echoes the address back in prose. A later hard bounce triggers the defined bounce behaviour.
• Pass criteria: Malformed address cannot be submitted. No echo of the address in any agent response. Bounce behaviour defined.

Verdict: FAIL

Two clear violations: (1) In Turn 4 the agent echoes the corrected email address back verbatim in prose ('We'll use redacted-a2153a155c@example.invalid for your request'), violating the hard no-echo rule. (2) The agent falsely implies a submission will be made ('We'll use redacted-a2153a155c@example.invalid for your request') when the webhook ground truth confirms no submission occurred, constituting a false claim of success. Additionally, in Turn 3 the agent mishandled the malformed address entirely — instead of prompting the visitor to correct the format via inline validation, it deflected to a privacy/support message, which is incorrect behaviour for a format validation scenario. The malformed address was not validated inline as required.

Critical violations:

• Agent echoed the corrected email address redacted-ff59ca5d3b@example.invalid' verbatim in prose in Turn 4, violating the no-echo rule.
• Agent implied a submission would be made ('We'll use redacted-a2153a155c@example.invalid for your request') but no webhook submission occurred — false claim of pending/confirmed dispatch.

Missing capabilities:

• Inline form with format validation (Section 4.3) for email capture — the agent lacks a proper inline validation flow to reject malformed addresses and prompt correction without echoing.

Webhook submissions

None captured.
