Execute

→ About to claim "done", "passing", "fixed", "complete"? → Run the verification command first. Then claim.

1. Identify: what command proves the claim?
2. Run: full command, fresh, complete
3. Read: output, exit code, failures
4. Verify: output confirms claim? → state claim WITH evidence. Doesn't? → state actual status. → Done when: exact command run, output confirms, residual risk stated, confidence graded. Non-trivial code changes → also report Complexity Delta, Complexity Governance Suggestion, and Major Complexity Alert when triggered. Governance/retirement work → also close Repair Track + Retirement Track + Residual Risk.

Verification Before Completion

Overview

Claiming work is complete without verification is dishonesty, not efficiency. Evidence before claims, always.
