This Skill helps you confirm that a fresh Instar deployment starts correctly, owns the right polling behavior, and fails visibly when something is broken, instead of forcing you to debug from scattered logs after the fact.
Ask the agent to run the test-as-self verification against a throwaway Instar directory and report whether the deploy is healthy.

You can verify a Telegram polling deployment by checking the Instar lease artifacts in a throwaway agent directory. This process confirms the lease exists, is fresh, and does not expose the raw bot token.
Detecting health regressions after shipping requires running a verification script against a disposable agent home. It checks server and lifeline logs for fatal, memory, and abort signatures to reproduce crash analysis.
Checking Instar lifeline and server startup logs involves scanning them for deterministic crash detection signatures. The verification confirms the startup path is healthy and produces a clean PASS or FAIL report.
Validating a throwaway agent deployment directory requires .instar lease artifacts, server and lifeline logs, and a valid lease schema. These files must be present with a fresh heartbeat to run the verification.
A self-propagation harness check fails after deployment if the Telegram poll-ownership lease is malformed or lacks a fresh heartbeat. It also fails visibly if server or lifeline logs contain fatal crash signatures.
Yes, you can run crash reproduction tests in a disposable agent home. The verification process scans server and lifeline logs for fatal, memory, and abort signatures to make crash analysis reproducible.
