Why AI-built apps get this
Legal pages get postponed until the day a payment provider asks for them. Then they arrive as a template that mentions a company that is not yours. A real privacy, terms and refunds page for this specific app is a launch requirement, not paperwork for later.
What it affects
Buyers can see the refund position before they pay.
What the evidence line looks like
no link to a privacy page found in the footer of https://example.com
Every finding on a result carries a line like this one: the request that was made and the answer that came back. You can run the same request yourself and get the same answer, which is the point.
The fix
Nothing to change here.
Prompt for your coding agent
Keep the refund page linked from the footer.
A result gives you this prompt written for your builder, in its own dialect, and a batch prompt that carries every fix at once.
