Implementation completeness verification requires running seven integrity passes across data flows, migrations, and external dependencies. This process assesses chain completeness, placeholder detection, test honesty, and environment parity to output an actionable integrity report highlighting gaps.

Test honesty in code review verifies that tests genuinely validate behavior rather than passing through placeholders or deferrals. It is one of seven integrity passes that detect hidden gaps in non-trivial implementations, ensuring tests provide evidence-based confirmation of completeness.

Auditing a feature branch for placeholders involves applying integrity passes that detect deferral patterns and incomplete code segments. The process evaluates diminishing attention and companion change completeness, generating a structured report with actionable remediation steps for production risk reduction.

Environment parity verification works by comparing production-like environments against development configurations to identify discrepancies across external dependencies. It is applied to branches and PRs as part of boundary verification, ensuring end-to-end completeness before shipping substantial changes.

Adversarial verification should be used when standard tests may miss gaps in non-trivial implementations. It applies seven integrity passes covering chain completeness, companion changes, and boundary conditions to prevent overconfidence before shipping, catching issues that conventional testing alone cannot detect.

Integrity passes for post-implementation auditing are limited to verifying completeness of existing changes rather than designing new architectures. They require production-like environments and accurate dependency mapping to function effectively, and they do not replace functional testing but complement it.
