- ship-docsync-completion: yesterday's audit-scope result dropped the section's status, so /ship spliced one in; the section now opens with **Status:**. - ship-docsync-missing-asset: a missing section or old Ship-owned mode blocks before launch. - ship-docsync-late-result: the invocation record says prepare already saves the candidate selection (no extra Read; budget unchanged). - qa exploratory: await the method Reads before the first probe. - qa-callers fixture: quote the real review-log record template; allow the git log command plan-completion prescribes. - qa functional observer: a receipt caught mid-link(2) is checked at stop instead of failing with ENOENT (reproduced from CI). Each repaired case passed a focused paid run.

# Shared exploratory QA
|
||
|
||
The **caller** (/qa, /qa-only, /review or /ship) owns decisions, tests, fixes and publication. Discovery writes only reports/evidence
|
||
and owned fixture state; no workflows, framework installs or publication.
|
||
|
||
Complete these Reads in order before writing charters or probing. Await their results before the first probe, never in the same response. Do not repeat a Read already completed in this invocation.
|
||
1. Read `sections/scope.md` relative to the installed `qa`/`gstack-qa` SKILL.md directory in full and select the surfaces.
|
||
2. Read the selected surface methods below in full.
|
||
|
||
**Functional surfaces:**
|
||
Read `sections/system-functional.md` in full.
|
||
|
||
**Browser surfaces only:**
|
||
Read `sections/qa-patterns.md` in full.
|
||
|
||
Missing or unreadable assets, prerequisites or permission block affected probes, not independent safe checks. Report QA setup blockers.
|
||
|
||
## 1. Charter and preflight
|
||
|
||
Reuse resolved REPORT_DIR; otherwise own a fresh `.gstack/qa-reports` subdirectory.
|
||
Write a **charter** per behavior: contract, risk, entrypoint, isolation, exit condition, source, commands and inputs. Save charters as Markdown in the report.
|
||
|
||
For /review and /ship, no plan/server is required.
|
||
Stop after 5 minutes or 12 probes, whichever comes first (SECONDS=300 across surfaces).
|
||
Explicit plan checks and revalidation remain required beyond this smoke budget.
|
||
For /qa and /qa-only:
|
||
- Browser Quick: SECONDS=30. Browser Full/Regression: SECONDS=900.
|
||
- Functional Full, Quick and Regression have no default total timer.
|
||
Set SECONDS to the shorter mode/caller limit; an unlimited mode uses the caller's bound.
|
||
Without a total time limit, do not start D; announce finite command timeouts.
|
||
Stop when scoped contracts are tested or blocked.
|
||
Clocks/checkpoints use REPORT_DIR; mixed standalone runs use REPORT_DIR/browser and REPORT_DIR/functional, with one final report at REPORT_DIR. Caller paths win.
|
||
R = owned probe directory; D = R/deadline.json. Quote paths.
|
||
G = `$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-qa-deadline`; Q = `$HOME/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-qa-evidence`.
|
||
Start once before baseline: `bun G start D SECONDS [EARLIER_UTC]` if bounded.
|
||
EARLIER_UTC = caller's absolute deadline, if set.
|
||
Functional: `bun Q capture R NNN [--public] --deadline D -- COMMAND ARGS`.
|
||
Unbounded: use `--timeout-ms MS` instead. Use fresh three-digit IDs.
|
||
--public requires approved public/synthetic output; Q screens credentials. For complete private captures, await a safe Read of `R/.qa-evidence/NNN/observation.json`. Sensitive/incomplete captures cannot anchor checkpoints.
|
||
Bounded browsers: `bun G run D -- COMMAND ARGS`. No detached probes.
|
||
Never reset D/bypass G. Expiry or invalid/missing D stops probes; report unfinished coverage. QA_DEADLINE receipts are not observations.
|
||
|
||
## 2. Probe loop
|
||
|
||
Each probe is one native command/interaction plus checks, excluding bookkeeping.
|
||
Never batch probes.
|
||
|
||
1. First demonstrate success: output AND durable effects. Guard if bounded; await completion.
|
||
2. **Decide whether another probe is needed.** If bounded, run `bun G status D`.
|
||
If expired or no safe next probe remains, STOP exploration; write the report, not a checkpoint.
|
||
**Publish before probing.** Create `exploration-NNN.json` in the probe directory, beside its deadline if bounded, with exactly four top-level fields:
|
||
observationCommand: last completed probe's full outer command, including guard.
|
||
observed: its exact decoded child JSON (no wrapper/extra keys), or its full non-JSON text.
|
||
hypothesis: why nextCommand. nextCommand: exact command/request, guarded if bounded.
|
||
Preserve every safe program-JSON key/value and identity hash unchanged.
|
||
Withhold unsafe values, disclose limits and stop that chain.
|
||
Check fields before publication. No drafts/placeholders or invented safe-path redactions; corrections cannot repair published notes.
|
||
Functional: `bun Q checkpoint R NNN CAPTURE_ID 'observationCommand' 'hypothesis' 'nextCommand'` with literal arguments. Q supplies observed; never transcribe it.
|
||
Browser checkpoints use Write.
|
||
Wait for successful checkpoint publication before dispatch.
|
||
Never backfill or overwrite notes.
|
||
3. Run that exact probe; G enforces the deadline when bounded.
|
||
Report refusals as not-run; retain initial state/inputs/results. Repeat from step 2.
|
||
4. Replay the exact failing command/request from the same initial fixture state via steps 2–3 (same native command, fresh capture ID)
|
||
before repair, then minimize via those gates. Expiry leaves confirmation/minimization incomplete.
|
||
Another input or a regression test is not that replay.
|
||
5. After source/commands/fixtures change, re-review and return to step 2 for each affected revalidation. Keep limits/notes; status requires fresh evidence.
|
||
|
||
## 3. Parent handoff
|
||
|
||
- **/qa:** parent owns severity, root-cause and Phase 8 regression gates before verified repair.
|
||
- **/review:** return before Fix-First; test_stub proposals require ASK approval.
|
||
- **Planning:** propose charters only; no execution.
|
||
|
||
Choose the smallest native test: unit for logic, integration for state/requests; E2E only if smaller tests miss the journey, not automatically both.
|
||
Mock only unrelated services.
|
||
Never freeze buggy output, weaken tests or delete valid red tests.
|
||
|
||
## 4. Final report
|
||
|
||
Use the surface report template; link each checkpoint. Separate browser scores, functional outcomes and proposed/executed tests.
|
||
For evidence.json, Write R/annotations.json: {revision, runtime, cwd, evidence: [{capture, command, contract, expected, classification}], learning: [checkpoint IDs], limits}.
|
||
Run `bun Q materialize R annotations.json` before Markdown; Q fills observed/learning, not classifications. Retain all safe probes, including failures/replays; disclose withheld/incomplete evidence.
|
||
Evidence is invocation-local; /ship reruns once per invocation.
|
||
Missing prerequisites/expectations/observations, timeouts and refusal never pass.
|
||
Pass requires all required current-input contracts to pass with no required remainder.
|
||
Required failure leaves /review incomplete and /ship blocked unless the user explicitly accepts that named risk; noninteractive runs return blocked. Only nonbehavioral diffs may be not applicable (give a reason); prompts/templates are behavioral.
