Visual Validation

Overview

Do not declare visual work complete from code inspection alone. Validate the rendered interface through screenshots or live browser inspection, then fix what the evidence shows.

When To Use

• Validating frontend UI changes, screenshots, responsive layouts, visual regressions or breakpoint behavior.
• Checking overflow, clipping, focus states, contrast, motion, canvas or 3D output, or browser-rendered states.
• A task is ready to be judged by rendered evidence rather than source inspection alone.

Do not use for comparing a surface against a prototype or reference; that is visual-parity-verification.
