Verification Before Completion

Adapted from superpowers:verification-before-completion

The Iron Law

NO COMPLETION CLAIMS WITHOUT FRESH VERIFICATION EVIDENCE

If you haven't run the verification command in this message, you cannot claim it passes.

The Gate Function

Before claiming ANY status:

1. IDENTIFY — What proves this claim?
2. RUN — Execute the verification (fresh, complete)
3. READ — Full output, check for errors/warnings
4. VERIFY — Does output confirm the claim?
   • NO → State actual status with evidence
   • YES → State claim WITH evidence
5. ONLY THEN — Make the claim

Unity/RCore Verification Checklist

C# Code Changes

1. Check for compilation errors — no red errors in Unity Console
2. Verify no new warnings introduced
3. If ScriptableObject changed — check Inspector shows correct fields
4. If [Inject] dependency added — verify registration order in ModelCollection

Runtime Behavior Changes

1. Enter Play Mode — no errors on startup
2. Test the specific feature — functionality works as expected
3. Check Unity Console — no runtime exceptions or warnings
4. If data persistence changed — verify save/load cycle works

Editor Tool Changes

1. Open the editor window — renders without errors
2. Test all interactive elements — buttons, fields, dropdowns work
3. Verify Undo support if applicable

UI Changes

1. Enter Play Mode — panel shows/hides correctly
2. Check PanelStack state — correct push/pop behavior
3. Test on different resolutions if layout-sensitive
4. Verify safe area behavior if applicable

Red Flags — STOP

Thought	Reality
"Should work now"	RUN the verification
"I'm confident"	Confidence ≠ evidence
"No compiler errors"	Compilation ≠ runtime correctness
"Just this once"	No exceptions
"The code looks correct"	Reading ≠ running
"Great, that's done!"	Did you actually verify?
