description	Validate the implementation by running tests, checking quality, and verifying requirements are met

Step 4: Test and Validate

Goal

Verify that the implementation works correctly, meets all requirements, and doesn't break existing functionality.

What You Need

• Implementation results: workflow-state/implementation-results.md
• Implementation plan: workflow-state/implementation-plan.md
• The files modified in Step 3

Process

1. Review all files modified in Step 3
2. Run the existing test suites
3. Write or update tests for new functionality
4. Perform a manual testing checklist
5. Check for linter or type errors
6. Verify all requirements from Step 1 are satisfied
7. Check edge cases and error handling

Verification

• All existing tests pass
• New tests are written for new functionality
• New tests pass
• No linter or type errors
• Edge cases are handled
• Error handling is implemented
• All original requirements are satisfied
• Performance is acceptable

Output

Write workflow-state/test-results.md containing:

• Test execution summary
• List of tests added or modified
• Issues found and their current status
• Coverage report (if applicable)
• Validation checklist results

What Happens Next

If tests pass, the orchestrator will move to Step 5 (Documentation). If tests fail, the orchestrator will ask the user whether to fix or roll back.
