+# Test Evidence: durable fix-branch documentation workflow
+
+- **Test type:** Unit (documentation contract)
+- **Requirement IDs:** `OPS-019`, `TST-009`, `TST-010`
+- **Scenario IDs:** `AC-TST-001`
+- **Test class/method:** Shell documentation contract: `fixBranchWorkflowRule`
+- **Implementation commit:** `f013ad7707b36959ddca891fe0d52f81bba3ee80`
+
+## Protected behavior
+
+Targeted repairs use the realizable `work/fix/<feature>/<what-fix>` branch and
+clean worktree from taskmaster-verified `main`. Contributor guidance must reject
+the impossible `work/<feature>/fix/<what-fix>` form while persistent
+`work/<feature>` refs exist.
+
+## Test method
+
+Use fixed-string repository searches rather than an artificial Java test. The
+RED proves the required branch name was absent from the four contributor guides.
+The GREEN checks every tracked guide and the design/plan records, then the
+local requirements/SRS generator checks the unchanged requirement and use-case
+counts.
+
+## Hand-derived expected result
+
+The required fix-branch spelling appears in all six tracked documentation
+artifacts. The four contributor guides and design record identify the nested
+form only as forbidden. The existing SRS generator must still report 260
+requirements and 14 use cases.
+
+## RED
+
+**Command**
+
+```text
+rg -n -F 'work/fix/<feature>/<what-fix>' AGENTS.md README.md DEVELOPMENT.md TESTING.md
+```
+
+**Observed result**
+
+```text
+exit 1; no matching lines
+```
+
+The failure was expected: the required realizable repair-branch rule was absent
+before this documentation change.

+
+The nested form appears only in instructions that call it invalid, forbidden,
+or a form not to use.

+git diff --check
+```
+
+The SRS regeneration and count assertion ran from the main root because the
+ignored requirements hub is local authority there. The link assertion and
+`git diff --check` ran from this fix worktree; the SRS generator also rejects a
+broken local SRS target before it writes the generated file.

+
+## External-test boundaries
+
+This documentation contract does not create or manipulate Git branches, start
+the application, or replace branch-owner review. It validates the durable rule
+and SRS traceability only; a taskmaster still authorizes branch creation,
+integration, and any push.
