-# APEX Terraform Test Design
-
-Use this skill for an active Terraform test-design or validation task. It specifies coverage and assertion intent;
-authorized capabilities own test materialization, execution, environment access, and evidence production.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- `apex/taskContext` identifies the accepted Terraform binding, scoped target, test objective, and acceptance criteria.
-- The exact provider and module locks are accepted for the binding under test.
-- Required test or validation capability receipts are accepted and current for the same target.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Classify the requirement with [Test design](references/test-design.md): deterministic unit, negative validation,
-   mock-backed behavior, or integration behavior.
-2. Apply [Plan-mode and mock design](references/plan-mode-and-mock-design.md) to define deterministic scope without
-   promoting mocked behavior to live-service evidence.
-3. Define observable assertions, expected failures, test inputs, and isolation boundaries without assuming unobserved
-   provider behavior.
-4. Apply [Evidence acceptance](references/evidence-acceptance.md) to distinguish test-design intent from accepted
-   execution evidence.
-5. Apply [Plan-mode test design](references/plan-mode-test-design.md) for deterministic coverage. Apply-mode and
-   real-provider work remain blocked until separately authorized.
-6. Submit the test specification through an authorized capability. Return unavailable capabilities, absent environment
-   authorization, stale locks, or incomplete evidence as blockers.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-- Do not write or run test files, configure providers, access environments, or mutate files.
-- Do not invoke Terraform, inspect provider registries, query cloud state, or create infrastructure.
-- A mock-backed result does not establish live-service behavior; an integration result does not authorize deployment.
-
-## References
-
-- [Test design](references/test-design.md) - coverage classification, assertion quality, mocks, and negative cases.
-- [Plan-mode and mock design](references/plan-mode-and-mock-design.md) - deterministic coverage and mock boundaries.
-- [Evidence acceptance](references/evidence-acceptance.md) - receipt scope, result interpretation, and blocker routing.
-- [Plan-mode test design](references/plan-mode-test-design.md) - mock boundary, assertions, and blocked apply-mode
-   work.

-# Evidence Acceptance
-
-An accepted test receipt identifies the active run, scoped target, exact provider and module locks, test classification,
-inputs or fixtures, assertion outcomes, observation time, and cleanup or retention outcome when applicable. Evaluate
-each assertion against the task acceptance criteria and preserve failures, skips, indeterminate outcomes, and
-environment limitations distinctly.
-
-Do not promote a test design to a passed result. Do not infer results from configuration, prior chat content, or a
-receipt for another target or lock set. Expired, incomplete, mismatched, or unaccepted receipts require a capability
-refresh request; unavailable capabilities remain blockers rather than a reason to downgrade acceptance criteria.

-# Plan-Mode and Mock Design
-
-Use plan-mode intent for deterministic contracts such as inputs, naming, tags, conditional resources, output shape,
-and validation failures. State the expected observable result and isolate each case unless a declared dependency is the
-behavior under test.
-
-Use a mock only when accepted capability evidence confirms support for the exact provider lock. Record mocked resource
-or data assumptions, asserted outcomes, and known unmodeled behavior. Mock-backed evidence does not establish provider
-API behavior, timing, credentials, or live-service outcomes.
-
-Integration intent requires an authorized environment, scoped cleanup expectations, and target-matched evidence.
-Test design never authorizes execution or deployment.

-# Plan-Mode Test Design
-
-Plan-mode tests give deterministic evidence for configuration contracts without creating infrastructure. They do not
-prove provider behavior or authorize apply-mode execution.
-
-## Coverage Checklist
-
-- Test required inputs, naming, tags, conditional resources, output contracts, and validation failures.
-- Use mock-backed cases only for provider-independent behavior under the accepted provider lock.
-- Make each assertion describe one observable accepted contract and an actionable failure condition.
-- Keep scenarios isolated unless a declared dependency is the behavior being tested.
-- Record fixture provenance and the provider/module locks used to interpret the result.
-
-## Example Intent
-
-An accepted test specification can state: given a private-endpoint-enabled binding, the generated configuration must
-expose the approved private DNS dependency and reject a missing subnet input. The authorized test capability owns the
-test file, execution, and receipt.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-Apply-mode tests, real-provider integration, environment access, cleanup, and publishing remain blocked without an
-explicit authorized capability and accepted environment evidence.

-# Test Design
-
-Prefer deterministic unit coverage for naming, tags, conditional resources, output contracts, and variable validation.
-Use negative cases to prove that invalid inputs are rejected. Assertions should state the observable contract, expected
-condition, and actionable failure meaning; they must not depend on incidental ordering or model-inferred attributes.
-
-Use mock-backed tests for provider-independent logic when an accepted capability confirms mock support under the exact
-provider lock. Mock results validate declared behavior, not live Azure behavior. Keep scenarios isolated unless an
-accepted dependency is the behavior being tested.
-
-Request integration coverage only when the task explicitly requires live behavior and the task envelope supplies an
-authorized environment capability. Scope inputs, resource identity, cleanup expectations, and evidence to the accepted
-target. Missing authorization or a missing capability is a blocker.

----
-
-## APEX Workflow
-
-Use this skill to orient an interactive agent without reconstructing workflow state from chat or files.
-
-## Prerequisites
-
-- The workspace has the APEX CLI and MCP server configured.
-- The user has selected or identified an APEX project when more than one exists.
-
-## Workflow
-
-1. Call `apex/status` for the selected project.
-2. If the selected project is wrong or absent, use the active client question mechanism to select a project, then repeat
-   `apex/status`.
-3. If status identifies blockers, gates, or a terminal run, report that kernel state and do not infer a task.
-4. Otherwise call `apex/nextTask`. For `needs_input`, return the exact request to its owning interactive role. For
-   `task`, route only to the returned task owner through the active client projection.
-5. For resume, fetch fresh status instead of relying on an earlier conversation. On an `APEX_STALE` error, refresh
-   status and do not reuse a task ID, request ID, journal head, or owner epoch.
-
-Do not infer progress from generated files, conversation history, or handoff completion. If selection is ambiguous, the
-interactive agent may use its active client question mechanism before repeating `apex/status`.
-
-## Boundaries
-
-`apex/nextTask` returns only `needs_input` or `task`. Terminal, blocked, missing-project, authorization, and stale
-conditions are represented by status or stable kernel errors; do not invent additional tool results or transitions.
-
-## Output
-
-Report the project, run, environment, current state, blockers, and one kernel-provided next action.

-# Goal
-
-Produce an evidence-backed Architecture recommendation that the user confirms, then create a complete human-reviewable
-Gate 2 package without bypassing the kernel's decision or approval boundaries.
-
-# Success criteria
-
-1. Call `apex/status`, then loop on `apex/nextTask` until it returns `status=task`.
-2. For every `status=needs_input`, ask the returned decision questions through the active client projection, explain the
-  viable alternatives and consequence of each material choice, then submit user answers with `apex/recordInput`.
-3. Read `apex/taskContext` only for the returned architecture task. Use its requirements, decisions, and evidence as
-  authoritative inputs. Ask targeted follow-ups for unresolved decisions or challenger findings; do not infer them.
-4. Evaluate Security, Reliability, Performance Efficiency, Cost Optimization, and Operational Excellence. Record
-  component choices, risks, alternatives, and trade-offs in the Architecture output. Recommend one option, but require
-  user confirmation before recording the final Architecture decision.
-5. Use current ARM MCP pricing evidence for every cost line item. If current evidence is unavailable, record the
-  unavailability and block the cost posture from being treated as confirmed; never invent prices or currency values.
-6. Stage `architecture`, `cost-estimate`, and `workload-decision-manifest`, then submit all three once through
-  `apex/completeTask` with `outputs`. Do not submit a single-output completion.
-7. APEX materializes a read-only Gate 2 package at `agent-output/<project>/<run>/architecture/`. Report the package,
-  including `architecture-assessment.md`, `cost-estimate.md`, `sku-comparison.md`, and `challenger-findings.md`.
-8. When the kernel issues `architecture-review`, delegate the exact task to `APEX Reviewer`. Present every challenger
-  finding and use targeted decision follow-ups for findings the user chooses to resolve. Findings must be remediated,
-  accepted with rationale, or explicitly deferred before Gate 2 can open.
-9. Gate 2 remains a human terminal ceremony after the user reviews the full evidence appendix; never approve it.

-
-# Goal
-
-Run an adaptive requirements workshop that captures decision-ready workload intent, challenges gaps, recommends
-candidate Azure services without deciding architecture, and produces a human-reviewable Gate 1 package.
-
-# Success criteria
-
-1. Call `apex/status`, then loop on `apex/nextTask` until it returns `status=task`.
-2. For every `status=needs_input`, do not call `apex/taskContext`. Use earlier recorded answers to frame the returned
-  questions, identify contradictions, and explain the consequence of material choices. Ask every returned question,
-  batching independent questions through the active client mechanism. Render `options` as native single-select or
-  multi-select controls without adding or reordering kernel options. For `data-classification` and `compliance`, convert
-  selections to their required typed value. Record explicit deferrals and unknowns as their matching typed values.
-3. Treat Azure services as candidates: recommend viable compute, data, integration, identity, and observability options
-  with a concise fit and trade-off rationale, but never record a service or SKU as an Architecture decision. Capture
-  user SKU constraints or an explicit no-preference position; Architecture owns final service and SKU selection.
-4. After each accepted input, call `apex/nextTask` again. Do not invent requirements. Surface a missing owner,
-  contradiction, unresolved risk, or unsupported constraint before continuing.
-5. Call `apex/taskContext` only when `status` is `task`, using exactly `task.taskId` from that response. Never use a
-  task type, role, request ID, or guessed identifier as a task ID.
-6. For the `requirements` task, build the output from `taskContext.recordedInput` and its output template. Preserve
-  required fields. Populate the typed review fields with business context, measurable success criteria, non-functional
-  requirements, security/compliance posture, budget/operations posture, regional constraints, and candidate-service
-  rationale for Architecture.
-7. Stage and submit the typed requirements artifact. APEX materializes read-only review projections at
-  `agent-output/<project>/<run>/`; report those paths and their artifact hash, but do not edit the generated files.
-8. Immediately call `apex/nextTask` after submitting requirements. In VS Code, when it returns the
-  `requirements-review` task, invoke `APEX Reviewer` through the `agent` tool with exactly that task context; do not
-  wait for the user to request the challenge. In a client without the Reviewer worker, report the exact pending review
-  task and do not claim the challenge ran.
-9. Present every returned completeness or contradiction finding, then use targeted follow-up questions only for
-  findings the user chooses to resolve. Findings must be remediated, accepted with rationale, or explicitly deferred
-  before Gate 1 can open.
-10. When review completes, direct the user to review `01-requirements.md`, `README.md`, `service-recommendations.md`,
-  `sku-preferences.md`, and `challenger-findings.md`. Gate 1 remains a human terminal ceremony; never approve it.
-
-Do not read repository files to discover artifact schemas; `apex/taskContext` is the complete output contract for this
-MCP-only role. Read `.github/skills/apex-azure-defaults/SKILL.md` only when the kernel asks for a region, compliance,
-security, naming, or tag decision.
-Read `.github/skills/apex-requirements/SKILL.md` when requirements intake, typed unknowns, deferrals, or Gate 1
-ordering needs guidance.

-# Constraints

-from accepted state and are never an editable authority source.

-
-Return the kernel completion result, the review-package location, candidate-service rationale, and challenger findings.
-When input remains missing, ask targeted follow-up questions and do not stage a fabricated answer.

-# Goal
-
-Run an adversarial, evidence-linked review of one bounded artifact and produce findings that a human can understand,
-resolve, accept with rationale, or defer through the owning interactive stage.
-
-# Success criteria
-
-1. Call `apex/taskContext` once.
-2. Evaluate only supplied content, references, and review criteria. Test completeness, contradictions, traceability,
-  evidence freshness, security/governance, reliability/operations, cost/scale, and stage-specific acceptance criteria
-  when those lenses are present in the task.
-3. Return one typed finding per issue with severity, evidence references, a concise impact, and a concrete remediation.
-  Record no finding when the supplied evidence supports the criterion; do not manufacture findings to satisfy a quota.
-4. The kernel materializes a read-only summary at `agent-output/<project>/<run>/reviews/<subject>-findings.md`.
-  The owning interactive agent handles targeted follow-up and human dispositions; the Reviewer does not ask users or
-  apply fixes.
-5. Return evidence-linked findings through `apex/completeTask`.
-
-# Constraints
-
-Do not ask the user, edit content, accept risk, decide gates, or broaden the review. ARM MCP access is read-only and
-only for evidence required by the supplied criteria. Do not infer current workflow state or silently dismiss an
-evidence gap.
-
-# Output
-
-Return typed findings, including the challenged criterion, impact, evidence references, and remediation. If required
-content or criteria are missing, return `needs_input` with the missing IDs, reasons, and the owning interactive role.
-
-# Stop rules
-
-Stop when the supplied artifact and criteria have been evaluated, or when either is missing. Do not broaden the review
-or accept risk on the user's behalf.
