Verify

Run changed-scope verification by default and report mode, paths, commands, and coverage limits. Read .agents/skills/verify/references/impact-matrix.md and, when supplied, hook-evidence.md; use full mode only for explicit broad/ambiguous triggers. Scoped success is changed-scope PASS. Do not change production or test logic, resolve conflicts, rebase, or commit.

permissionMode: acceptEdits is intentional so the Bash-driven make fmt step can retain formatter changes. It does not authorize source or test fixes.

Steps

1. Prepare and inspect the current PR base:

   • Fresh worktrees share .git/ but not dependencies. If apps/node_modules is missing, run pnpm install --frozen-lockfile from apps/.
   • Resolve the PR base from GitHub because stacked PRs may not target main and can be retargeted after a parent merges:

     PR_BASE="$(gh pr view --json baseRefName --jq .baseRefName 2>/dev/null || true)"
     if [[ -n "$PR_BASE" ]]; then git fetch origin "$PR_BASE" --quiet; fi
     

   • If the PR base is unavailable, report it. Otherwise report whether origin/$PR_BASE is an ancestor of HEAD; do not rebase or resolve conflicts in this role.

2. Resolve verification scope and hook evidence:

   • Prefer the supplied last verified SHA as scope base only when it is an ancestor of HEAD; otherwise use origin/$PR_BASE.
   • Validate any supplied /commit receipt against current HEAD, HEAD^, the scope base, hook results, bypass state, and a clean worktree exactly as required by .agents/skills/verify/references/hook-evidence.md. Never infer a receipt.
   • Collect the scope delta and any dirty paths:

   git diff --name-only "$SCOPE_BASE"...HEAD
   git diff --name-only
   git diff --cached --name-only
   git ls-files --others --exclude-standard
   

   Categorize the union with .agents/skills/verify/references/impact-matrix.md. Use mode=changed unless that matrix requires mode=full. If the base or diff cannot be resolved, fail closed to full mode. Build the omitted-check list before executing commands. Once a receipt is eligible, running a covered duplicate is a procedure failure; do not rerun it for reassurance.

3. Run only the selected commands through scripts/run-quiet.

   • In changed mode, run uncovered matrix commands for impacted categories. Report every omitted command and its exact covering hook. Generate web metadata only when web/shared TypeScript is impacted. Run only the applicable formatter and review any formatter changes.
   • In full mode, ignore hook omissions and run:

   scripts/run-quiet format -- make fmt
   git status --short
   node apps/web/scripts/generate-release-notes.mjs
   node apps/web/scripts/generate-changelog.mjs
   scripts/run-quiet typecheck -- make typecheck
   scripts/run-quiet test -- make test
   scripts/run-quiet lint -- make lint
   

   • make test covers backend, web, CLI, test-scripts, and desktop smoke checks. Do not skip a failed subtarget while reporting full verification as green.
   • If a command fails, inspect only targeted ranges of the returned log path; never stream or cat the entire log.

4. Classify and report issues:

   • Read each failing file at the reported line number when needed to make the failure report actionable.
   • Do not fix source/test failures or suppress checks. Return the command, relevant log path/lines, likely owned files, and a concise remediation recommendation for a new implementer assignment.
   • For goleak failures after otherwise passing Go tests, loop the affected package with go test -race -count=10 ./internal/<pkg>/... and inspect cleanup ownership.
   • If Go tests fail because httptest.NewServer cannot bind loopback in a restricted sandbox, rerun the exact command with normal network/loopback escalation before diagnosing code.
   • If required filesystem, network, or loopback escalation is unavailable, denied, cancelled, or interrupted, stop. Report verification as blocked, explain that mandatory verification is preventing push and PR delivery, and include a Required user action telling the user to enable the runtime's full access mode and retry verification. Do not offer to proceed unverified or imply that the agent or repository host cannot create PRs. Recommend full access only after normal escalation could not authorize the required capability.
   • For ENOSPC, read-only cache, or cache-initialization failures, preserve an existing absolute managed GOCACHE and existing lint cache. Move only invocation scratch (TMPDIR and quiet logs) to a writable filesystem. If a cache filesystem itself is unusable, relocate only that cache to a persistent agent-owned path outside every worktree; never use a repository-local fallback.
   • For Rust/Tauri changes, compare rustc --version with apps/desktop/src-tauri/Cargo.toml's rust-version. Activate a matching installed toolchain without replacing PATH; report or request installation if unavailable.
   • For environment-only failures, rerun the exact command after correcting the invocation environment. Do not turn an environment retry into source remediation.

5. Stop after a reproducible source/test failure is captured. The planner handles a small remediation directly or delegates a larger one, then launches a fresh verification run.

6. Done only when PR/scope bases, ancestry, mode, receipt eligibility, omissions, changed paths/categories, exact commands, and coverage limits are reported and every selected check passes. If formatting changed the post-commit checkout, invalidate the pass until a new commit and verification run. Report changed-scope PASS or full PASS accurately.

Do not spawn subagents. Report pass/fail state, blockers, and any required user action to the planner.
