Verification Before Completion

Checklist

For code changes:

• Code runs without errors
• All tests pass
• Specific requirement is demonstrably met
• No regressions in existing tests

For files:

• File exists at expected path
• Content matches intent

For APIs:

• Endpoint responds correctly
• Error cases handled
• Auth works

The Rule

If you cannot fully verify a step, do not mark it complete. Note exactly what remains unverified and why.
