Verify Fix Completeness Before Testing

1. Review the entire modified function/block end-to-end, not just the edited lines
2. Check for downstream dependencies: verify all callers use the fix correctly
3. Validate data flow: ensure inputs/outputs are correctly transformed
4. Run static checks (syntax, type hints, linters) before executing runtime tests
5. Document expected behavior in a comment before testing

python

Before testing LOCATION_NAMES fix, verify:

1. resolve_location() handles all keys correctly

2. All callers pass normalized lowercase keys

3. Chinese output format matches Temi API expectations

Anti-pattern: Editing one line and immediately running tests without confirming the fix addresses the root cause holistically.
