# 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:** `scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs --self-test` - **Implementation commit:** `f013ad7707b36959ddca891fe0d52f81bba3ee80` - **Round-1 review-fix commits:** `d617769499362e92d058684501af3c1ae6b145b0`, `719e02ea902bfb2dbeddc04f12be3617be3427b5` - **Round-2 all-guide regression commit:** `97e991317d55db4f7414678a89a45921802a14b8` - **Round-2 coordination-authority commit:** `9802d5d17f5c07511e1f9cf59ace4b7e48fcdc0e` - **Round-2 plan-contract commit:** `f98e7f39ef38c7882106ffb250155d2a72dcf0dd` ## Protected behavior Targeted repairs use the realizable `work/fix//` branch and clean worktree from taskmaster-verified `main`. Contributor guidance must reject the impossible `work//fix/` form while persistent `work/` refs exist. The tracked copies of root coordination authority must use the same rule. ## Test method Use the tracked Node validator rather than an artificial Java test. It requires the exact approved statement in each of the six guides. Its self-test creates a fresh positive nested-branch mutation for every guide and asserts the file-specific rejection each time. The copied root coordination files are compared byte-for-byte with their main-root sources and checked for their exact approved rules. The original RED proves the required branch name was absent from the four contributor guides; the first review-fix RED proves the executable regression was absent. ## Hand-derived expected result The required fix-branch spelling appears exactly once in each of the six tracked documentation artifacts, and the only nested-form reference is inside that artifact's exact approved statement. Each independent simulated positive nested-branch recommendation must fail. The three tracked coordination files must exactly match the authorized main-root versions. The existing SRS generator must still report 260 requirements and 14 use cases. ## RED **Command** ```text rg -n -F 'work/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. ### Review-fix RED **Command** ```text node scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs --self-test ``` **Observed result** ```text exit 1 Error: Cannot find module '.../scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs' ``` The executable regression required to reject a positive nested-branch recommendation did not exist. ### Round-2 RED **Command** ```text node scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs --self-test | rg -x 'Positive nested branch recommendations: 6/6 rejected' ``` **Observed result** ```text exit 1; no matching line ``` The prior self-test reported only a singular rejection and mutated only `AGENTS.md`; it did not prove an independent rejection for each of the six guides. ## Initial GREEN **Command** ```text node scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs --self-test ``` **Observed result** ```text Fix-branch workflow documentation: 6 approved statements validated Positive nested branch recommendation: rejected ``` ### Round-2 GREEN **Command** ```text node --check scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs node scripts/verify-fix-branch-workflow.cjs --self-test ``` **Observed result** ```text Fix-branch workflow documentation: 6 approved statements validated Positive nested branch recommendations: 6/6 rejected ``` ## Affected suite **Command and result** ```text node labtimesheet-docs-hub/ui-mockups/build-srs.cjs node -e 'const fs=require("node:fs"); const checks=[["authoritative","labtimesheet-docs-hub/requirements-specification.md",/^\| ([A-Z]{2,4}-\d{3}) \|/gm],["explained","labtimesheet-docs-hub/explained/requirements-specification.md",/^\| ([A-Z]{2,4}-\d{3}) \|/gm],["simple","labtimesheet-docs-hub/explained/requirements-specification-simple.md",/^- \*\*([A-Z]{2,4}-\d{3}):\*\*/gm],["generated SRS","labtimesheet-docs-hub/software-requirements-specification.md",/^\| ([A-Z]{2,4}-\d{3}) \|/gm]]; for (const [name,file,pattern] of checks) { const ids=[...fs.readFileSync(file,"utf8").matchAll(pattern)].map(match=>match[1]); if (ids.length !== 260 || new Set(ids).size !== 260) throw new Error(`${name}: ${ids.length} rows, ${new Set(ids).size} unique`); console.log(`${name}: ${ids.length} rows, ${new Set(ids).size} unique IDs`); } const srs=fs.readFileSync("labtimesheet-docs-hub/software-requirements-specification.md","utf8"); const useCases=(srs.match(/^### 5\.\d+ UC-\d{2} —/gm)||[]).length; if (useCases !== 14) throw new Error(`SRS use cases: ${useCases}`); console.log(`generated SRS: ${useCases} use cases`);' node -e 'const fs=require("node:fs"); const path=require("node:path"); let checked=0; const broken=[]; for (const file of process.argv.slice(1)) { const text=fs.readFileSync(file,"utf8"); for (const match of text.matchAll(/!?\[[^\]]*\]\(([^)]+)\)/g)) { const target=match[1].trim().replace(/^<|>$/g,"").split("#")[0].split("?")[0]; if (!target || /^[a-z][a-z0-9+.-]*:/i.test(target) || target.startsWith("//")) continue; checked += 1; if (!fs.existsSync(path.resolve(path.dirname(file), decodeURIComponent(target)))) broken.push(`${file}: ${target}`); } } if (broken.length) throw new Error(`Broken local Markdown links:\n${broken.join("\n")}`); console.log(`Local Markdown links: ${checked} resolved`);' AGENTS.md README.md DEVELOPMENT.md TESTING.md docs/superpowers/specs/2026-08-15-access-navigation-icon-intern-picker-design.md docs/superpowers/plans/2026-08-15-access-navigation-icon-intern-picker.md docs/tests/unit/fix-branch-workflow-documentation.md cmp -s .agents/PROJECT_PLAN.md /Users/sechmachine/Documents/WebProjects/labtimesheet/.agents/PROJECT_PLAN.md && cmp -s .agents/skills/orchestrate-labtimesheet-iteration/SKILL.md /Users/sechmachine/Documents/WebProjects/labtimesheet/.agents/skills/orchestrate-labtimesheet-iteration/SKILL.md && cmp -s PRODUCT.md /Users/sechmachine/Documents/WebProjects/labtimesheet/PRODUCT.md && node -e 'const fs=require("node:fs"); const files=[".agents/PROJECT_PLAN.md",".agents/skills/orchestrate-labtimesheet-iteration/SKILL.md","PRODUCT.md"]; const forms=["work/fix//","work//fix/"]; for (const file of files) { const text=fs.readFileSync(file,"utf8"); for (const form of forms) { if (text.split(form).length !== 2) throw new Error(file+": expected one "+form); } } console.log("Root coordination authority: "+files.length+" approved branch rules match exactly");' git diff --check 8be1b754e188367b260981718a5d33fc2d4d8a3b f98e7f39ef38c7882106ffb250155d2a72dcf0dd ``` The SRS regeneration and count assertion ran from the main root because the ignored requirements hub is local authority there. The root-authority comparisons, link assertion, and exact base-to-candidate `git diff --check` ran from this fix worktree; the SRS generator also rejects a broken local SRS target before it writes the generated file. ```text Wrote labtimesheet-docs-hub/software-requirements-specification.md Requirements: 260; use cases: 14; screens: 48; mockup embeds: 48 authoritative: 260 rows, 260 unique IDs explained: 260 rows, 260 unique IDs simple: 260 rows, 260 unique IDs generated SRS: 260 rows, 260 unique IDs generated SRS: 14 use cases Fix-branch workflow documentation: 6 approved statements validated Positive nested branch recommendations: 6/6 rejected Root coordination authority: 3 approved branch rules match exactly Local Markdown links: 7 resolved git diff --check 8be1b754e188367b260981718a5d33fc2d4d8a3b f98e7f39ef38c7882106ffb250155d2a72dcf0dd: exit 0 ``` ## 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.
