Reasoning for action: By clicking on the 'GET STARTED FREE' button, I am effectively initiating the sign-up process for a free account. This action is crucial for the user to access the necessary form to provide their email address, which is a key step in fulfilling their objective of signing up easily and starting to explore the features of the platform.

Action: click(86) # Click on the 'GET STARTED FREE' button to explore the signup process.

        StaticText .

Reasoning for action: By entering a sample email address into the textbox, I am moving closer to completing the sign-up process for a free account. This action is necessary because the next step involves clicking the 'Continue with Email' button, which requires the presence of an email in the textbox to proceed. Filling in the email is crucial for allowing the system to recognize the user's intent to create an account and send a confirmation message.

Action: fill(36, 'test@example.com') # Fill in the email textbox with a sample email address.

Change Description: The email textbox now contains the value 'test@example.com' and remains focused, indicating that the user has filled in their email address.

Reasoning for action: The 'Continue with Email' button is essential to advance from the initial input stage where I've entered my email address. By clicking this button, I'm effectively sending my provided email to the Mergent platform, which triggers the process of creating an account and leads to receiving the confirmation message about the login link being sent. This action directly addresses the user story's objective of signing up easily without commitments.

Action: click(42) # Click on the 'Continue with Email' button to proceed with the signup process.

Change Description: After clicking the 'Continue with Email' button, the initial prompt for email submission was replaced with a confirmation message indicating that a login link has been sent to 'test@example.com', along with a new link to open Gmail.
