Validate — Validation Evidence Recording

Validation runs produce evidence — test results, screenshots, check outcomes. This skill formally registers that evidence by writing a machine-readable manifest and updating the work item's status based on the outcome. It is the bridge between a validator finishing its work and the orchestration system knowing the result.

When This Skill Runs

• Validator finishes running checks against a candidate
• Evidence needs to be formally registered before completion can proceed
• Orchestrator needs to record a validation outcome (passed, failed, or environment error)

Prerequisites

• Orchestration must be initialized
• Work item must be in candidate_validating status
• Work item must be the current active_candidate in loop-state
• Candidate branch and commit in the manifest must match the WI's promotion metadata
