+Before its `results`, the JSON output says when the page was measured and what the results found, as the JSON the audit of the [DevTools extension](https://webperf-snippets.net/extension) exports, so a script or an agent reads it without going through every result: `date`, when the measurement started, in UTC; `overview`, how many snippets have errors, warnings only or nothing to fix (a snippet that failed counts as an error, and a rating that is not good as a warning when no issue says more); and `issues`, every issue of every result in one list, errors first, then warnings and info, each with its `code`, `severity`, the `id` of its step, the `path` of its snippet, its `message` and, when it has one, its `target`. A follow-up of the decision tree lists its issues too, and they do not change the exit code.

+The human and markdown reports start the same way, when the results count issues, as those of the `audit` workflow do: the overview in one line, and, in markdown, the errors and warnings in a list under Errors and warnings, errors first and up to 30, before the tables, so a pull request comment shows what to fix first. The text from the page keeps the `<` and `|` it names, escaped, where GitHub would read `<head>` as HTML and drop it.

 The options of the command line apply to every combination: `--workflow`, `--snippet`, `--wait`, `--interact-script`, `--header`, `--own-domains`, `--storage-state`, `--cpu`, `--network` and the budgets. The file replaces `cpu`, `network` and `storageState` where it sets them, and its `headers` and `ownDomains` add to the ones of the command line, the variant winning on the same header. A matrix file is meant to be versioned, so pass secrets, such as the token of an access proxy, with `--header` and an environment variable; a header of the file whose name looks like a secret raises a warning. A key the CLI does not know is an error, so a typo does not measure without its condition.

Another host does not warn, since it is the review app of a pull request against production. A baseline of one run warns that only the thresholds apply, and any other metric compared without statistics gets a line with the values left on each side, as in `no statistics for LCP: the baseline has 5 values, and this run 4 after 1 failed run; they need 5 a side, so measure both with 5 runs or more`.

A baseline that does not exist or is not an output of the CLI, a baseline of a page for a matrix or of a matrix for a page, or a `--threshold` the CLI does not understand exits with code `2`, before the page loads.
+
+A live baseline is `--baseline` with a URL, one that starts with `http://` or `https://`: it measures that page in the same run as the page of the command, under the same conditions (viewport, throttling, workflow or snippet, interactions, headers, wait), and alternates their runs: baseline, current, baseline, current, `--runs` times each, or once without it. The request headers of `--header` go to the origin of each page, so a token meant for one of them reaches the other as well; `--storage-state` and `--own-domains` apply to both pages too.
+
+```bash
+# The pull request against production, in one command
+npx webperf-snippets https://pr-123.example.com --runs 5 --baseline https://example.com --fail-on-regression
+
+# Measure up to 7 runs a side when a metric is inconclusive for the worse after 5
+npx webperf-snippets https://pr-123.example.com --runs 5 --max-runs 7 --baseline https://example.com --fail-on-regression
+```
+
+A baseline saved earlier was measured in another moment of the machine: a process in the background that slows it down during one of the two measurements moves the timings of that side only, and the comparison reads it as a change of the page. Alternated runs share those moments, so a slower machine moves both pages alike, and the comparison sees the difference between the pages. The progress on stderr names the side of each run (`[3/10] baseline https://example.com · run 2/5`), a run that fails is left out of its side as with `--runs`, and when every run of a side fails the command exits with `1`.
+
+The comparison, its thresholds, `--threshold`, `--fail-on-regression`, `--fail-on-inconclusive` and the reports are the ones of a file. The reports name the baseline by its URL, `Compared with https://example.com (measured in this run, 5 runs, median by LCP)`, and the `baseline` of the JSON output has `"live": true` and no `file`:
+
+```json
+"baseline": {
+  "live": true,
+  "url": "https://example.com/",
+  "runs": { "count": 7, "medianBy": "LCP" },
+  "extended": { "after": 5, "metrics": ["LCP"] },

+
+A metric is `inconclusive` when, with five runs or more a side, its change beats the threshold and p is not under 0.05: a slow run or two of one side can hide a real change. Measure again, or with more runs. `--max-runs <n>` does it in the same command: when a metric is inconclusive for the worse after `--runs` runs a side, the CLI measures both pages up to `n` runs each and compares once more with every run, and `extended` says after how many runs it measured more and for which metrics; the reports add the same line under their title. It decides twice at most, after `--runs` and after `--max-runs`, never after each added run, since a p-value read after every run would find a change by chance. When the first decision is clear, nothing more is measured. `--max-runs` needs a live baseline and `--runs` of 5 or more, the runs the statistics need, and an `n` greater than `--runs` and at most 9; otherwise the command exits with code `2`.
+
+The runs a side decide how many slow runs of the baseline a regression survives. With every run of the page slower than every run of the baseline, except `k` runs of the baseline slower than all of them, the one-sided p-value is:
+
+| Runs a side | k = 0    | k = 1  | k = 2  |
+| ----------- | -------- | ------ | ------ |
+| 5           | 0.004    | 0.0754 | 0.3452 |

Its JSON output starts with `overview` and `issues`, every issue of every snippet in one list, errors first, so a script, a hook or an agent reads what to fix without going through every result.

+When Claude goes on because of the hook, `stop_hook_active` lets it stop the next time, so an error it cannot fix does not keep the session going. A dev server that does not answer leaves Claude to stop, with nothing to say. The audit takes some seconds on each stop.

+### From an agent, with the MCP server
+
+`run_workflow` with `workflow: "audit"` answers with the same `overview` and `issues`, whole even when the results come as summaries, and `get_details` gives the whole result of a step.
