What problem does it solve?
It prevents regressions and hidden defects when authors change citation styles by standardizing a repeatable QA gate for fidelity, formatting, and documented divergence.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Fidelity verification: checks whether the rendered output continues to match expected oracle results rather than silently drifting.
- SQI drift assessment: captures SQI drift as a secondary metric to help diagnose quality movement without making it the sole acceptance criterion.
- Formatting and hygiene audits: evaluates formatting defects and enforces cleanup rules for docs/beans when those areas are touched.
- Regression surface monitoring: ensures changes do not expand or introduce unintended regression vectors.
Quick Start
Use the style-qa gate on your changed style paths together with the oracle JSON results to get an approve or reject verdict with numbered findings.
