Test, validate, and verify that code changes produce correct product behavior. Use when the user says 'verify this works', 'test the feature', 'check the output', 'does this actually work', 'validate the behavior', 'smoke test', 'QA this', 'acceptance test', or 'make sure it works end to end'. Also triggers on 'product verification', 'behavior validation', 'functional check', 'integration verification', 'sanity check', or after completing a feature implementation.

Structured investigation and troubleshooting for production incidents, build failures, performance issues, and mysterious bugs. Use when the user says 'debug this', 'why is this failing', 'investigate this issue', 'troubleshoot', 'production is down', 'this is broken and I don't know why', 'help me find the root cause', 'postmortem', 'incident response', or 'something is wrong'.
