+**FORCE stance:** Assume the phase goal was not achieved until codebase evidence proves it. Your starting hypothesis: tasks completed, goal missed. Falsify the SUMMARY.md narrative.
+
+**Common failure modes — how verifiers go soft:**
+- Trusting SUMMARY.md bullet points without reading the actual code files they describe
+- Accepting "file exists" as "truth verified" — a stub file satisfies existence but not behavior
+- Choosing UNCERTAIN instead of FAILED when absence of implementation is observable
+- Letting high task-completion percentage bias judgment toward PASS before truths are checked
+- Anchoring on truths that passed early and giving less scrutiny to later ones
+
+**Required finding classification:**
+- **BLOCKER** — a must-have truth is FAILED; phase goal not achieved; must not proceed to next phase
+- **WARNING** — a must-have is UNCERTAIN or an artifact exists but wiring is incomplete
+Every truth must resolve to VERIFIED, FAILED (BLOCKER), or UNCERTAIN (WARNING with human decision requested.

+## Step 7c: Probe Execution
+
+SUMMARY.md probe pass claims are not evidence. If a phase declares or implies probe-based verification, the verifier must run the probe in its own process and record the command result.
+
+**When to run:** For migration phases, CLI/tooling phases, or any phase whose PLAN/SUMMARY/verification criteria mention probes, PASS markers, stage markers, runnable checks, or `scripts/*/tests/probe-*.sh`.
+
+**Probe discovery:**
+
+```bash
+# Conventional project probes
+find scripts -path '*/tests/probe-*.sh' -type f 2>/dev/null | sort
+
+# Phase-declared probes
+grep -R -n -E 'probe-[^[:space:]]+\.sh|scripts/.*/tests/probe-.*\.sh' "$PHASE_DIR"/*-PLAN.md "$PHASE_DIR"/*-SUMMARY.md 2>/dev/null
+```
+
+**Execution contract:**
+
+1. Build the `PROBES` list from explicit PLAN declarations first; include conventional `scripts/*/tests/probe-*.sh` when the phase is a migration/tooling phase or the success criteria mention probes.
+2. For every documented probe path, if the file is missing or unreadable, mark `MISSING_PROBE` and set `status: gaps_found`. Do not require the executable bit because probes run through `bash "$probe"`.
+3. Run each probe from the built `PROBES` list (declared + conventional) from the repository root:
+
+```bash
+for probe in "${PROBES[@]}"; do
+  timeout 30s bash "$probe"
+done
+```
+
+4. Exit code 0 is PASS. Any non-zero exit is FAILED and must include stdout/stderr evidence in VERIFICATION.md.
+5. Do not substitute executor narration, SUMMARY.md PASS-marker counts, or a different dry-run driver command for the probe result.
+
+**Probe status:**
+
+| Probe | Command | Result | Status |
+| ----- | ------- | ------ | ------ |
+| `scripts/.../probe-name.sh` | `bash "$probe"` | exit code/output | PASS / FAILED / MISSING_PROBE |
+
 ## Step 8: Identify Human Verification Needs
 
 **Always needs human:** Visual appearance, user flow completion, real-time behavior, external service integration, performance feel, error message clarity.
 
 **Needs human if uncertain:** Complex wiring grep can't trace, dynamic state behavior, edge cases.
 
+**Harvest deferred items from PLAN.md (#3309 / `workflow.human_verify_mode = end-of-phase`):** Scan every PLAN file in the phase for `<verify><human-check>` blocks on `auto` tasks. These are verification items the planner deliberately deferred from `checkpoint:human-verify` to end-of-phase to avoid the executor cold-start cost. Each block has the same shape used by the planner:
+
+```xml
+<verify>
+  <human-check>
+    <test>What to do</test>
+    <expected>What should happen</expected>
+    <why_human>Why grep can't verify</why_human>
+  </human-check>
+</verify>
+```
+
+Merge those harvested items into the same human verification list as your own analysis. Deduplicate when the planner-deferred item and your own analysis describe the same check. The downstream `human_needed` → HUMAN-UAT.md path in `workflows/execute-phase.md` is the single sink — no separate file is created.

+## MVP Mode Verification
+
+**When the phase under verification has `mode: mvp` in ROADMAP.md (resolved by the verify-work workflow):** Apply the goal-backward methodology, narrowed to the phase's user-story goal. Required reading: `@~/.claude/sdd/references/verify-mvp-mode.md`.
+
+**Core narrowing rule:** Goal-backward verification normally checks that the phase goal is observably true in the codebase. Under MVP mode, the phase goal IS a user story ("As a [user role], I want to [capability], so that [outcome]."). Verify the `[outcome]` clause is observably true — that is the success condition.
+
+**VERIFICATION.md output structure under MVP mode:**
+
+1. Top-level "User Flow Coverage" table: each step of the user story → expected → evidence in codebase → status. (Format defined in `references/verify-mvp-mode.md`.)
+2. Standard technical-check sections (API verification, error handling, etc.) follow below — only if the user flow coverage is complete.
+
+**User Story format guard:** Apply via the centralized verb instead of inlining the regex:
+
+```bash
+USER_STORY_VALID=$(sdd-sdk query user-story.validate --story "$PHASE_GOAL" --pick valid)
+```
+
+If `valid != true`, refuse to verify. Surface the discrepancy and ask the user to run `/sdd mvp-phase ${PHASE}` to set a proper User Story goal. The verb owns the canonical regex `/^As a .+, I want to .+, so that .+\.$/` and surfaces per-error guidance in `errors[]` plus slot extractions in `slots`. Do NOT attempt to verify against a non-User Story goal under MVP mode — the User Flow Coverage section would be low-quality.
+
+**Mode is all-or-nothing per phase** (PRD decision Q1, inherited from Phase 1). The MVP Mode Verification rules apply to the whole phase or not at all.
+
+**Compatibility with existing verifier behavior:** When the phase mode is null/absent, this section is dormant. The existing goal-backward verification methodology is unchanged for non-MVP phases.
