Connected Claude Code to Framer's new External Agent (not MCP, the native one from Framer 3.0). Gave it one vague brief — "test flower shop site" — and it built 3 pages with a working CMS collection in 18 minutes. Genuinely impressive.
Then asked it to handle SEO metadata and alt text. Titles, descriptions, Open Graph — all correct, even the dynamic bindings on CMS product pages. Alt text was a different story: it published as a literal var(--variable-...) string on every product image. Asked it to fix that, and it replaced the broken binding with one identical generic alt text across all six products. Reported both as done.
The lesson: the agent's summary is a claim, not a verification. It doesn't read back the published HTML, so it can't actually tell what shipped versus what it attempted. Worth a 10-minute manual check on any real build — dump the <head>, compare two CMS items, grep for var(--.
