18:50  Required Weekly Test
AlertOtherExpected
Minor
Observed		202775,NV Nevada North,Mineral County
⚠️ cap.test_as_actual — headline announces a required weekly/monthly test but status is Actual — a test must carry status Test (CAP v1.2 §3.2.1), or downstream systems will relay it as a live warning.
⚠️ content.no_instruction_text — CAP <instruction> is empty — the message describes a hazard but tells the reader nothing to do about it.
⚠️ content.no_specific_area_geometry — at least one area lacks both a polygon and a circle — specific geometries allow more precise message delivery and can reduce alert deliveries to people not actually at risk.
⚠️ content.no_description_explains_effects — description names the hazard but does not explain the effects it will have on people, property or infrastructure.
