To verify code changes match design specs, validate the implementation against delta specs and design artifacts. This process maps requirements to code, checks scenario coverage, and generates a structured report highlighting gaps or divergences before archiving.

Change artifact verification identifies whether a change's implementation matches its delta specs, tests, and design artifacts. It ensures compliance by mapping requirements to code and evaluating adherence to design decisions, reducing drift and miscommunication.

You can check task completion and spec coverage by scanning the change for available artifacts. The verification process evaluates task checklists, maps requirements to code, and detects potential divergences to produce actionable recommendations.

Code review verification applies to changes with available artifacts. If delta specs, tasks, or design artifacts are missing, the verification cannot map requirements to code or evaluate adherence to project patterns effectively.

The best way to ensure implementation coherence is to run coherence checks that evaluate adherence to design decisions and project patterns. This maps requirements to code, checks scenario coverage, and reports gaps in a structured verification report.
