Teodor's call, for response volume. Ten answers landed in the first day, so the mechanism works; he wants more of them.

The trade, recorded rather than quietly made

10s was chosen so the dialog appeared after real engagement instead of on arrival — the pattern Google's intrusive-interstitial guidance targets. This site lives on organic search: ~2,095 of 2,353 sitemap URLs are indexed and it is the top-scoring property in SEO Sentinel's portfolio pass.

At 3s that protection is largely gone. The component's header comment now says exactly that, and names DELAY_MS as the first thing to revert if organic impressions on /strada/ and /punct-termic/ dip in GSC over the next few weeks.

Not a blocker, and the risk is often overstated — page experience is a minor ranking signal. But it should be a decision on the record, not a silent constant change.

Checks

tsc clean, 122 unit, 9 e2e. The e2e suite drives the delay from playwright.config.ts, so it is unaffected by the production default.

Recording the trade rather than quietly changing a number: 10s was chosen so
the dialog landed after real engagement instead of on arrival, which is the
pattern Google's intrusive-interstitial guidance targets, and this site lives
on organic search. At 3s that protection is largely gone. The header comment
now says so, and names this constant as the first thing to revert if organic
impressions on /strada/ and /punct-termic/ dip.

TSC clean, 122 unit, 9 e2e (the suite drives the delay from
playwright.config.ts, so it is unaffected by the default).

Verified: single-constant change (DELAY_MS 10s→3s) plus a comment rewrite recording the tradeoff and rollback trigger, exactly matching the PR description. No security surface. Confirmed the e2e suite is decoupled via its own POLL_DELAY_MS override in playwright.config.ts, so no test updates were needed.
