Variant selection does not redefine product identity

What is being checked

Checks whether selecting a product variant modifies attributes without redefining the core product identity or semantic meaning.

Why it matters

If variant selection alters product identity, systems cannot reliably group or compare products, leading to semantic instability and flawed recommendations.

Failure signals

• Product title changes to a different product concept
• Variant selection introduces conflicting descriptions
• Core attributes are reinterpreted per variant
• Variant behaves like a separate product without clarification

How to verify

1. Switch between variants and observe changes to product title, description, and core attributes.
2. Verify that variants adjust properties without changing the underlying product identity.

Recommended fix

Ensure that variant selection only modifies defined attributes and does not alter the core semantic identity of the product.
