SweetClaude Behavioral Regression

To validate behavioral mode enforcement, run a regression suite against mode-gates.yaml to verify WIP limits, artifact schemas, and mode-specific gates. This prevents configuration drift and logic failures in project management workflows.

Behavioral regression testing for project management guardrails is the process of executing automated and manual checks to confirm that operational modes and WIP limits remain active and effective after system configuration updates.

To test mode-gates.yaml structure with pytest, execute a behavioral regression script that verifies the file is correctly structured and all four operational modes are properly defined, ensuring system integrity.

Yes, you need Python 3 and pytest to run behavioral regression checks. The validation process also requires access to the project's internal scripts and configuration files to execute the full automated test suite.

You should run behavioral mode validation and regression tests immediately after modifying the modes system or updating the project configuration to confirm that all behavioral guardrails remain active and effective.

Behavioral mode configuration stops enforcing WIP limits after updates due to configuration drift or logic failures. Running a regression test suite validates the mode-gates.yaml structure to restore proper guardrail enforcement.
