How Lastmod finds it
The crawl measures every title and meta description and groups the pages outside the range.
What you do
Bring the text within the lengths shown, and change a shared template once instead of every page.
How the work is followed up
Lastmod looks for your change on the live page and closes the opportunity when the problem is gone. Clicks are followed as context, not as the proof.
