Quality Gate — Build Verification Verdict

Automate code quality checks by running a quality gate verification that evaluates test results, coverage metrics, security findings, and intent specification alignment. It issues a PASS, CONDITIONAL, or FAIL verdict to prevent substandard code from progressing to deployment.

A quality gate verdict is an automated checkpoint that issues a PASS, CONDITIONAL, or FAIL decision based on test coverage, security vulnerabilities, and intent specification alignment. It runs within the build's inner control loop after each fix iteration to ensure robust builds.

Track technical debt by generating detailed DEBT-NNN records for any conditional issues identified during the quality gate verification. These records facilitate targeted remediation of issues that did not cause a hard failure but still require attention before or after deployment.

Yes, build verification enforces intent specification alignment by checking code changes against predefined intent specifications. The quality gate evaluates this alignment alongside test results and security findings to determine if the build meets all required standards.

Run a quality gate check after a developer iterates on a bug fix or code change within the build's inner control loop. This verifies that the fix meets all quality gates, including passing tests and sufficient coverage, before allowing the build to proceed.

If a security scan finds new vulnerabilities during build verification, the quality gate issues a FAIL verdict, preventing the substandard code from progressing. This ensures no new security risks are introduced before the build proceeds to deployment.
