Empty cart (show message), no search results (show message), quantity 0 (remove from cart), decimal prices (use toFixed), clear cart button, and checkout confirmation. These show production-readiness.
Calculate the total normally, then format with toFixed(2): total.toFixed(2). This ensures two decimal places (e.g., 150.50 instead of 150.5). Use parseFloat when reading prices to avoid string concatenation.
Check if the cart is empty (return early). Calculate the total. Show a confirmation (alert or modal). Clear the cart after confirmation. Disable checkout if the cart is empty.
