SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Claiming work is complete without verified evidence can lead to broken builds, wasted time, and eroded trust. This guide describes how to enforce evidence-based completion by requiring fresh verification steps before any success claim.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Enforces running fresh verification commands before declaring completion.
  • Requires capturing and presenting verifiable output as evidence.
  • Applicable to PRs, releases, and task checks to prevent premature completion claims.

Quick Start

Run the full verification suite for the current task, capture outputs, and declare completion only with explicit, verifiable evidence.

FAQPage Schema
How do I enforce verification steps before declaring a pull request complete?

To enforce verification before completing a pull request, require fresh verification commands and documented output as evidence. This prevents premature completion claims by ensuring success is confirmed through explicit, verifiable test results rather than assumptions.

What is evidence-based completion in CI-CD pipelines?

Evidence-based completion in CI-CD pipelines is the practice of capturing fresh command outputs to confirm a task is done. It prevents broken builds by requiring documented verification steps before any success claim is accepted during releases or code reviews.

How to prevent premature completion claims in software engineering tasks?

Prevent premature completion claims by mandating that developers run full verification suites and present the captured output. This enforces evidence-based completion, ensuring no task is marked done without explicit, verifiable proof of success.

Does enforcing code review verification work for release checks?

Yes, enforcing code review verification works for release checks. The process applies universally across pull requests and releases, requiring fresh verification commands and documented evidence to confirm that all release criteria are met before completion.

Why require fresh verification outputs before accepting completion claims?

Requiring fresh verification outputs is necessary because claiming work is complete without verified evidence leads to broken builds and eroded trust. Demanding explicit, documented proof ensures that success claims are backed by actual test results.

What's the best way to confirm task completion without broken builds?

The best way to confirm task completion and avoid broken builds is to run the full verification suite, capture the outputs, and declare completion only with explicit evidence. This evidence-based approach ensures all claims are verified.
