Set up a client-side button color A/B test
WHAT IT TESTS: practical experiment wiring on the client. OUTLINE: stable hashing of a persistent ID into buckets, conditional rendering of the variant, exposure plus click event logging. RED FLAG: re-randomizing on each load so users flicker between variants.
WHAT IT TESTS: whether you can wire an experiment end to end on the client without breaking consistency. ANSWER OUTLINE: hash a stable user or device ID with the experiment key to deterministically assign a bucket, gate the new color behind that assignment, fire an exposure event only when the user actually sees the variant, then track clicks keyed to the same ID. RED FLAG: bucketing on a per-session random number, which lets the same user flip variants, contaminates groups, and makes results uninterpretable.
