+
+See what you built, scoped to what you changed:
+- After changing an Agent: apply, then agent_chat with it and trace_get the trace; test_run its cases. newlyFailing are what your change broke; couldNotRun are cases the model provider or the runtime kept from running, not a regression: give the person their fix. Save a case with test_save_case and say what a good reply does (expectedContains, checks), not what this one said.
+- When agent_chat answers with pendingDecision, the turn waits on the person's card (a tool approval or a Function's confirmation): decide it with agent_decide, each decision deliberately, as the person would. Typed words never answer a card.
+- After changing a workflow: apply, then workflow_run it with version "draft". A webhook trigger: workflow_webhook_test sends a request to the draft's test door and reads the run it started.
+- After changing an App embedded in Studio: browser_open its preview; the snapshot reads the App's frame, and its refs click and type inside it.
+- After changing an App: app_render the pages you touched and read the console and failed requests; browser_open to click through a flow. app_deploy builds it and says in evidence whether the render it carries was clean.
+- When you report back, include the screenshot path or the trace link.
+Do not re-verify what you did not change.
