# Validate Image Updates
This skill provides the authoritative 6-step workflow for ensuring system integrity during image updates.
## Mandatory Sequential Workflow
When a new image build is triggered or the codebase is modified, agents MUST follow this sequence:
1. **Stop Workstation**: Ensure the target instance is in `STATE_STOPPED` to prevent hot-patching drift.
2. **Run Local Tests**: Execute `./scripts/run_local_tests.sh` from the skill directory. This runs linters, unit tests, and frontend build checks.
3. **Monitor Build**: If local tests pass, wait for the Cloud Build to reach `SUCCESS`.
4. **Start Workstation**: Only after a successful build.
5. **Run Integration Tests**: Execute `./scripts/run_integration_tests.sh` on the live instance to verify service orchestration.
6. **Persona Reviews**: Conduct in-depth reviews (UX, SEC, SRE, etc.) once the system is live.
## Technical Health Check
Technical health is verified by ensuring all tests in the `validate-image-updates` suite pass before starting the workstation.
## Integration Dependencies
This skill depends on the correct configuration of the `gcloud` CLI and access to the Cloud Workstations API.
