# Verification checklist

Version: 1.0
Updated: 2026-07-17

## Use when

A result looks complete, but you still need proof that the intended user outcome works.

## Checklist

- [ ] State the exact claim being verified.
- [ ] Identify the current source of truth.
- [ ] Confirm the edited file owns the live surface.
- [ ] Build the production artifact.
- [ ] Run the narrowest relevant automated check.
- [ ] Exercise the complete path in a real browser.
- [ ] Check desktop and mobile layout.
- [ ] Check keyboard access, focus, and reduced motion.
- [ ] Confirm the expected end state, not only a successful request.
- [ ] Inspect console and network failures.
- [ ] Verify the preview or live artifact independently.
- [ ] Record remaining uncertainty and the safest next action.

## Definition of done

The claim is supported by an observed end-to-end result and a second piece of evidence that does not depend on the implementation’s own success message.
