phpunit-unit-test-defending

You defend unit test findings by processing adversary challenges against established defense rules. The system loads rules from a references file and applies a detection algorithm to generate a structured defense stance, categorizing each finding as defended, resurrected, withdrawn, or newly adopted.

A structured defense stance is the output of engaging adversary challenges on their merits during a team review round. It categorizes findings into four sections: defended findings that hold up, resurrected findings that are re-adopted, withdrawn findings that are dropped, and newly adopted findings introduced during the review.

To start a defense round, provide the adversary challenges and your current final stance as input. The system uses these inputs along with pre-configured defense rules loaded from references to determine outcomes for each file under review.

Defense rules are loaded from a markdown references file named defense-rules.md. You can customize the rules within this file to ensure consistent and auditable decisions for your specific team review context.

The process relies on a plugin detection algorithm accessed via an MCP tool to get rules, but requires no standalone external dependencies. It operates within the structured workflow using provided references and the detection mechanism.

When an adversary challenge is valid, the finding is moved to the withdrawn section of the defense stance. The system evaluates evidence with defense rules and may also adopt new findings introduced by the challenger into the adopted_new section.
