Quality workflow

Verification gate discipline

Obligation: quality-and-verification.

• Use targeted/scoped verification (focused builds, specific test filters) in the inner loop; run the full suite only as the final gate before concluding or the final commit.
• Long-running gates (pre-commit verify, full suite, CI) are final confirmation, not inner-loop debuggers. Settle each hypothesis against the smallest reproducer (single failing test, targeted build, isolated command) before re-running the full gate.
• When a test fails after a dependency bump or environment change, first reproduce it against the pre-change state (prior SHA / pre-bump seed) before blaming the change.
