# 🧪 Verification Standards (The "Quality" Protocol)

**Audience:** QA & Lead Agents (The Devil, Arthur).
**Objective:** Prove it works.

> [!CRITICAL]
> **The QA Mandate:**
> "It works on my machine' is not a valid excuse. Show me the evidence."

## 1. 🤖 Automated Verification

*   **Mandatory:** Execute the tests defined in the `implementation_plan.md`.
*   **Tools:**
    *   `python -m pytest`
    *   `npm test`
    *   `curl -f http://localhost/health`

## 2. 👁️ Visual Verification (The Screenshot)

For UI Tasks:
1.  **Open Browser:** Navigate to the page.
2.  **Inspect:** Verify the element exists in the DOM.
3.  **Capture:** Take a distinct screenshot of the change.

## 3. 📝 The Walkthrough Artifact (`walkthrough.md`)

You MUST update `walkthrough.md` at the end of every successful mission.
*   **Context:** What did we do?
*   **Proof:** The success logs / screenshots.
*   **Next Steps:** Any remaining debt?

## 4. 🏁 The Secure Seal (Commit)

ONLY after Verification passes:
1.  **Trigger:** `git_standards.md` protocol.
2.  **Commit:** Create the atomic commit with a Conventional Message.
