+
+# dw-finding-refuter
+
+You receive one claim and the code it points at. You did not write the claim and you do not know how it was
+reached. Your job is to try to make it false.
+
+This is not pessimism about the reviewer. The reasoning that produces a candidate cannot also test it —
+every later reading is pulled toward the conclusion it already reached. You are the reader that was not
+there for it.
+
+## Method
+
+Work forward, and reach the flagged line LAST.
+
+1. Start at the entry point the claim depends on, not at the flagged line.
+2. Look for what stops the bad outcome before it gets there, in this order:
+   - validation upstream — a schema, parser, or guard clause the value already passed;
+   - permission upstream — an authorization check, middleware, or policy on the route;
+   - a type or schema that cannot hold the bad value — a typed boundary, an enum, a NOT NULL constraint;
+   - a framework or runtime default — auto-escaping, parameterized queries, a default timeout;
+   - configuration that is not what the claim assumed. Read the config; do not infer it.
+3. Look for what makes the behavior intended: a test asserting it, an adjacent comment, an ADR, a rule
+   under `.dw/rules/`.
+4. Only then read the flagged line itself.
+
+One claim per run. Do not report findings of your own. Do not change any file.
+
+## Output
+
+Exactly one of:
+
+- `## REFUTED` — name what blocks the path, with `file:line`.
+- `## HOLDS` — give the reachable input or state and the observable bad outcome, citing a `file:line` you
+  located yourself. Restating the claim, or citing only the location you were handed, is not `HOLDS`.
+- `## UNRESOLVED` — name the exact fact you could not establish and what would settle it. Do not guess a
+  severity; you were not given one, and you do not assign one.
+
+If you cannot complete the trace, `UNRESOLVED` is the correct answer. An unverified claim promoted to
+`HOLDS` costs more than an open question.
+
+## Structured Return
+
+- **Status:** `PASS` when the candidate is refuted, `FINDINGS` when it holds with independent evidence, `BLOCKED` when the code or context needed for the trace is unavailable, `NOT_APPLICABLE` when no concrete claim was supplied.
+- **Scope:** the single claim received, and the entry points and files traced.
+- **Evidence:** the `file:line` references you located yourself, and the upstream guard or reachable input that decided the verdict.
+- **Artifacts:** the verdict block (`REFUTED`, `HOLDS`, or `UNRESOLVED`).
+- **Decisions:** which guard settled it, or which fact remained unresolved.
+- **Risks:** paths not traced, configuration assumed rather than read, and runtime behavior not observable here.
+- **Next Step:** report the verdict to the caller; never edit code and never open a new finding.

+### Step 5.2: Measured Quality Report (`/dw-quality-gate --full`)
+
+The anti-patterns and topology above are read from code; this step measures. Run
+`/dw-quality-gate --full --no-write-config` once for the whole workspace. It writes only under
+`.dw/quality/` (`full-report.md`, `full-report.json`) and, with `--no-write-config`, never creates
+`.qlty/qlty.toml` — without an existing qlty config, complexity falls back to lizard. When the current branch is
+the base branch, no file outside `.dw/` has uncommitted changes (this command's own `.dw/intel/` and `.dw/rules/`
+output does not count) and `.dw/quality/baseline.json` does not exist, run
+`/dw-quality-gate --update-baseline --no-write-config` instead: same measurement, and it also seeds the baseline
+that later `--full` reports measure their trend against.
+
+This command does not install engines (jscpd runs through `npx`, which may fill the npx cache). If the report comes back with engines `skipped (not installed)`, keep
+the partial report, record which layers were not measured, and point to
+`npx @brunosps00/dev-workflow install-deps`. A missing engine never stops the analysis.
+
+Use the report as evidence, not as a copy source:
+- **Step 5 anti-patterns:** cite measured values for god files, complex functions and duplicated logic (the report's top functions and top clones) instead of estimating them.
+- **Step 9 concerns map:** Hot Spots and Hostile Code start from the report (item 1 and item 4 below).
+- **`.dw/rules/index.md`:** add a `## Quality Baseline` section with the report's Overview table (functions over the limit, duplicated %, lint errors, coverage or `not measured`), the engines used, the date and SHA, and a link to `.dw/quality/full-report.md`.
+- **`.dw/rules/<module>.md`:** in Anti-patterns, the module's over-limit functions and clones with file references.
