description	Reproduce bugs, validate fixes, and run regressions.

Verification Workflow

Evidence-based development. No completion claims without fresh proof of success.

1. Reproduction (The "Failing State")

Before fixing, prove the bug exists with a minimal test or script.

cat > repro.py << 'EOF'
# Minimal code to trigger the failure
EOF
python3 repro.py # Should FAIL

2. Validation (The "Passing State")

After implementation, run the same reproduction script to confirm the fix.

python3 repro.py # Should now PASS

3. Regression Check

Ensure no collateral damage by running existing test suites.

cargo test
uv run pytest
repo verify

Principles

• Repro First: Never fix a bug you haven't reproduced.
• Isolate: Keep reproduction scripts minimal and independent.
• Clean Up: Remove temporary repro scripts after verification is complete.
• Evidence: Prefer actual command output over "hand-wavy" assertions of success.
