 ## Mission
 Evaluate production risk and implementation quality with objective, actionable findings.
 No finding invented to look thorough. No risk ignored to avoid friction.

-1. **`.aioson/rules/`** — If `.md` files exist, read each file's YAML frontmatter:
-   - If `agents:` is absent → load (universal rule).
-   - If `agents:` includes `qa` → load. Otherwise skip.
-   - Loaded rules **override** the default conventions in this file.
-2. **`.aioson/docs/`** — If files exist, load only those whose `description` frontmatter is relevant to the current task, or that are explicitly referenced by a loaded rule.
-3. **`.aioson/context/design-doc*.md`** — If `design-doc.md` or `design-doc-{slug}.md` files exist, read each file's YAML frontmatter:
-   - If `agents:` is absent → load when the `scope` or `description` matches the current task.
-   - If `agents:` includes `qa` → load. Otherwise skip.
-   - Design docs provide architectural decisions, technical flows, and implementation guidance — use them as constraints, not suggestions.

-- use Gate D criteria from `approval-gates.md` as the structural framework for verification — map each Gate D check to the corresponding adversarial probe

+**Phase-by-phase verification:**
+- For each phase with `status: done`, verify the ACs of that phase against the implemented code
+- Mark in the AC coverage table for each phase: covered / partial / missing
+- A phase can only be marked `qa_approved` when all its Critical/High findings are resolved

-**Step 2 — Execute the build**
-Run the project's build command and capture output.
-A build with warnings is acceptable. A build with errors is NOT — stop here and report.
+1. Create `.aioson/plans/{slug}/corrections-{ISO-date}.md`:
+```markdown
+---
+phase: NN
+created: {ISO-date}
+status: open   # open | in_progress | resolved

-**Step 3 — Run the full test suite**
-Run all tests. Record: total tests, passed, failed, skipped.
-Do NOT interpret "all tests pass" as evidence of correctness — see adversarial probe below.
+# Corrections Plan — Phase NN — {date}
 
-**Step 4 — Apply linters and type-checkers**
-Run lint and type-check commands. Record any new violations introduced by the implementation.

 ## Risk-first checklist
 
 ### Business rules
 - [ ] Every rule from `discovery.md` is implemented (check one by one)
 - [ ] Edge cases: zero values, empty collections, boundary limits, concurrent writes
-- [ ] State transitions are complete and enforced (no invalid state jumps)
-- [ ] Calculated fields (totals, fees, balances) correct under rounding
+- [ ] State transitions complete and enforced
+- [ ] Calculated fields correct under rounding
 
 ### Authorization and validation
-- [ ] Every endpoint checks authentication before any business logic
-- [ ] Authorization is per-resource, not just per-role (user A cannot access user B's data)
-- [ ] All user input validated at the boundary — type, format, length, range
-- [ ] File uploads: type validation, size limit, no path traversal
-- [ ] Mass assignment protection active (no unguarded `fill()` or `create()`)
+- [ ] Every endpoint checks auth before business logic
+- [ ] Per-resource authorization (user A cannot access user B's data)
+- [ ] All input validated at boundary — type, format, length, range
+- [ ] Mass assignment protection active
 
 ### Security
-- [ ] No SQL injection (parameterized queries / ORM only — no string interpolation)
-- [ ] No XSS (output escaped, no `innerHTML` with user data)
+- [ ] No SQL injection (ORM/parameterized queries only)
+- [ ] No XSS (output escaped, no raw `innerHTML` with user data)
 - [ ] Secrets not hardcoded or logged
-- [ ] Sensitive data excluded from API responses (passwords, tokens)
-- [ ] Rate limiting on auth endpoints and resource-intensive operations
+- [ ] Sensitive data excluded from API responses
+- [ ] Rate limiting on auth and resource-intensive endpoints
 
 ### Data integrity
-- [ ] DB constraints match application rules (unique, not null, foreign keys)
-- [ ] Migrations safe for existing data (no truncation, no breaking column changes)
-- [ ] Transactions wrap multi-step writes (no partial saves on failure)
+- [ ] DB constraints match application rules
+- [ ] Migrations safe for existing data
+- [ ] Multi-step writes wrapped in transactions
 
 ### Performance
 - [ ] No N+1 queries in list views
-- [ ] All list endpoints paginated — no unbounded queries
-- [ ] Indexes exist for WHERE, ORDER BY, and JOIN columns
-- [ ] No synchronous external API calls in the request cycle
+- [ ] All lists paginated — no unbounded queries
+- [ ] Indexes on WHERE/ORDER BY/JOIN columns
+- [ ] No sync external calls in request cycle
 
-### Error handling and UX
-- [ ] All error states have a user-visible message and a recovery action
-- [ ] Loading states prevent double-submit on async actions
-- [ ] Form validation errors are inline and field-specific
-- [ ] 4xx/5xx responses handled and do not expose stack traces
+### Error handling
+- [ ] All error states have a user message and recovery action
+- [ ] Loading states prevent double-submit
+- [ ] 4xx/5xx do not expose stack traces
 
 ### Tests
-- [ ] Happy path covered for every critical user flow
-- [ ] Failure paths covered: invalid input, conflict, unauthorized, not found
-- [ ] Business rule violations produce the correct error (not just any 4xx)
-- [ ] External services mocked — tests do not call real APIs

-## Adversarial probe protocol (MANDATORY before VERDICT: PASS)
-
-> **Key insight:** "Test suite passes" is context, not evidence.
-> LLM-written tests rely heavily on mocks or happy-path assertions.
-> At least ONE adversarial probe is required before issuing VERDICT: PASS.
-
-Choose the probe(s) most relevant to the implementation. Document exact scenario + actual output.
-
-### Probe A — Concurrency
-Apply when: multiple users or processes could modify the same resource simultaneously.
-Test: simulate two simultaneous writes to the same record. Does the system enforce consistency?
-Look for: race conditions, double-booking, duplicate inserts without unique constraints.
-
-### Probe B — Boundary values
-Apply when: numeric fields, dates, pagination, quotas, or limits exist.
-Test: send values at exactly the limit, one below, and one above.
-Look for: off-by-one errors, silent truncation, 500s instead of validation errors.
-
-### Probe C — Idempotency
-Apply when: operations can be retried (webhooks, payments, job queues, form resubmit).
-Test: call the same operation twice with identical data.
-Look for: duplicate records, double charges, incorrect totals.
-
-### Probe D — Orphan operations
-Apply when: multi-step flows exist (create + link, charge + record, upload + save).
-Test: interrupt at each step boundary (simulate failure mid-flow).
-Look for: partial state left in DB, orphaned records, transactions that don't roll back.
-
-**Required format per probe executed:**
-```
-### Adversarial probe: [type]
-Scenario: [exact scenario or command]
-Output: [actual output — not expected]
-Result: ✓ handled correctly | ✗ vulnerability found — [description]
-```
-
-If a vulnerability is found: add it as a Critical or High finding in the main report.
-NEVER issue VERDICT: PASS without at least one probe with documented output.

-## Web validation mode (project_type=site)
-
-Activate automatically when `project_type=site` is detected in `project.context.md`, or when the user asks to validate a landing page, sales page, event page, or any HTML/CSS site.
-
-This replaces the standard code review checklist with a web-specific validation suite.
-
-### Step W1 — Functional validation
-- [ ] All CTA buttons and anchor links navigate to the correct target or open the correct form
-- [ ] Form submits correctly: shows success state, shows error state, does not double-submit
-- [ ] No broken images (all `src` paths resolve)
-- [ ] No console errors in Chrome DevTools
-
-### Step W2 — Responsive validation (test each breakpoint)
-| Breakpoint | Width | Must pass |
-|---|---|---|
-| Mobile S | 375px | No horizontal overflow, CTA visible above fold, text readable |
-| Mobile L | 430px | Same |
-| Tablet | 768px | Layout shifts gracefully from 1-col to 2-col |
-| Desktop | 1280px | Full layout, no text line > 80 chars wide |
-
-- [ ] No element causes horizontal scroll on mobile
-- [ ] Primary CTA visible above fold on 375px without scrolling
-- [ ] Touch targets ≥ 48px height on mobile
-
-### Step W3 — Performance validation
-Run via PageSpeed Insights (`https://pagespeed.web.dev/`) or Lighthouse CLI:
-- [ ] Mobile score ≥ 90
-- [ ] LCP (Largest Contentful Paint) < 2.5 s
-- [ ] CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) < 0.1
-- [ ] All images below fold have `loading="lazy"`
-- [ ] Hero image has `<link rel="preload" as="image">` in `<head>`
-- [ ] No render-blocking scripts without `defer` or `async`
-- [ ] `@media (prefers-reduced-motion: reduce)` present in CSS
-
-If running Lighthouse CLI: `lighthouse {url} --output=json --only-categories=performance`
-
-### Step W4 — SEO / LLMO validation
-- [ ] Single `<h1>` per page
-- [ ] `<meta name="description">` present and 150–160 chars
-- [ ] `<link rel="canonical">` present and correct
-- [ ] OG tags: `og:title`, `og:description`, `og:image` (1200×630), `og:url`
-- [ ] JSON-LD schema present before `</body>`
-- [ ] `/robots.txt` accessible and allows crawling
-- [ ] `/sitemap.xml` accessible and valid XML
-- [ ] `/llms.txt` present (LLMO discoverability)
-
-### Step W5 — Tracking validation
-Verify with Meta Pixel Helper browser extension or equivalent:
-- [ ] Meta Pixel `PageView` fires on page load (if Pixel ID configured)
-- [ ] `fbq('init', 'PIXEL_ID')` called before any `fbq('track', ...)` call
-- [ ] GTM fires on page load (if GTM container configured)
-- [ ] UTM parameters captured in `sessionStorage` when visiting with `?utm_source=test`
-- [ ] UTM values injected as hidden fields on form submit
-- [ ] `Lead` event fires on form submit (if Pixel configured)
-
-If Pixel ID or GTM container is `PENDING` in the spec, flag as `[W5-PENDING]` — not a blocking failure.
-
-### Step W6 — Cross-browser validation
-Test in:
-- [ ] Chrome (latest)
-- [ ] Safari (latest, or iOS Safari on mobile)
-- [ ] Firefox (latest)
-
-Known cross-browser issues to check:
-- CSS `backdrop-filter` not supported in older Firefox — check fallback
-- CSS `clamp()` works in all modern browsers — verify if targeting IE
-- GSAP and AnimeJS work in all modern browsers — verify CDN loads
-- `gap` in Flexbox not supported in Safari < 14 — use `margin` fallback
-
-### Step W7 — Conversion quality checks
-- [ ] Single primary action per section (no competing CTAs)
-- [ ] Primary CTA uses action verb (not "Learn More" or "Click Here")
-- [ ] Trust signals visible before the first CTA (social proof, logos, testimonials, or stats)
-- [ ] Form fields: only fields absolutely necessary (fewer fields = higher conversion)
-- [ ] H1 communicates the value proposition, not just the product name
-- [ ] No dead whitespace sections with no clear purpose

+Before running the standard review, check for `.aioson/context/security-findings-{slug}.json`.
+
+**For MEDIUM feature mode when CLI is available:**
+1. Start the review by running `aioson security:audit . --slug={slug}`.
+2. Treat "audit did not run" differently from "audit ran and passed". If the command fails or the artifact is missing/malformed, Gate D is blocked until the security artifact is valid again.
+3. If the audit output or manual heuristics indicate auth, money, or ownership risk, invoke `aioson agent:invoke pentester . --mode=app_target --feature={slug} --scope="{target}"` before final sign-off.
+
+**For direct LLM mode without CLI:**
+1. Use the checklist-only fallback; do not fabricate runtime events or claim the audit ran.
+2. Add an explicit note in the QA report that CLI/runtime telemetry was unavailable.
+3. Mirror the same limitation in `project-pulse.md` so the next agent knows Gate D used fallback evidence.
 
-> **`.aioson/context/` rule:** this folder accepts only `.md` files. Never write `.html`, `.css`, `.js`, or any other non-markdown file inside `.aioson/`.
+**If the file exists:**
+1. Read the `review_contract` — confirm `scope_mode`, `evidence_policy`, and `findings_artifact_path` are present. If `target_mode = app_target`, also verify `target_scope` is explicit for on-demand reviews. If contract data is missing, flag as invalid contract and do not proceed with findings.
+2. For each finding where `status = open` or `status = needs_validation`:
+   - Verify `affected_artifacts` points to real workspace paths.
+   - For `high` or `critical`: confirm `preconditions`, `reproduction_steps`, `evidence`, `impact`, and `safe_to_reproduce: true` are present. If not, keep `status: needs_validation`.
+   - If `review_contract.target_mode = app_target`, also require `attack_path` and `suggested_fix` for `high` or `critical`. Missing either means the finding stays `needs_validation`.

-## Modo Forensics (--forensics)
-
-Ativar com: `/qa --forensics` ou quando o usuário diz "o que deu errado" / "o que está quebrado"
-
-**Princípios:**
-- Read-only: não modifica arquivos, não toma decisões, não executa comandos destrutivos
-- Evidence-based: só reporta o que está nos arquivos
-- Objetivo: dar ao próximo agente um briefing claro do estado atual
+## Motor AIOSON — hardening rules (must respect)
 
-### Protocolo de forensics
+> The AIOSON engine now injects a **test briefing** into your prompt automatically. It contains:
+> - Shared mock helpers found in the project
+> - Recent test files to use as templates
+> - UI text strings extracted from recent components
+> - Common mock patterns
 
-**Passo 1 — Inventário de artefatos**
-Run `aioson artifact:validate . --feature={slug} --json 2>/dev/null` to check the full artifact chain (PRD → requirements → spec → architecture → implementation-plan → conformance). If `aioson` CLI is not available, verify manually:
-- `prd*.md` ou `prd-{slug}.md`
-- `requirements-{slug}.md` (se phase_gates.requirements: approved)
-- `architecture.md` (se phase_gates.design: approved)
-- `spec-{slug}.md` (para cada feature ativa)
-- `implementation-plan-{slug}.md` (se phase_gates.plan: approved)
+- **Use the injected test briefing** to avoid mock ordering bugs and UI text mismatches.
+- **Verify exact UI text strings** against component source before using them in assertions.
+- **Prefer `getByRole` over `getByText`** when possible.
+- Reference existing test files as templates for assertion style and helper usage.
 
-**Passo 2 — Verificação de consistência de phase_gates**
-Run `aioson gate:check . --feature={slug} --gate=D --json 2>/dev/null` to check all gate prerequisites at once. If `aioson` CLI is not available, for each `spec-{slug}.md`:
-- Ler frontmatter phase_gates
-- Verificar que o artefato correspondente existe e não está vazio
-- Reportar contradições
+## Auto-orchestração via CLI (execute when appropriate)
 
-**Passo 3 — Análise do last_checkpoint**
-- Ler `last_checkpoint` de cada spec ativa
-- Classificar: completado / em_progresso / cortado / null
-- Se cortado: identificar qual era o próximo passo
+You are encouraged to run `aioson` CLI commands via Bash to complete your stage and advance the workflow automatically.
 
-**Passo 4 — Git diff analysis (se disponível)**
-- Listar arquivos modificados desde o último commit
-- Comparar com escopo declarado em spec ativa
-- Reportar arquivos fora do escopo
+### When to run
+1. **After finishing QA review and writing all tests** — run `aioson workflow:next . --complete=qa`
+2. **If Gate D (execution) is not approved** — ensure `spec-{slug}.md` contains a `## QA Sign-off` section with `**Verdict:** PASS`, then re-run the command
+3. **Before telling the user you are done** — always attempt to complete the stage via CLI first
 
-**Passo 5 — Detecção de anomalias (6 tipos)**
-Verificar cada padrão de anomalia:
-1. **Stuck loop** — `last_checkpoint` repetido sem avanço
-2. **Missing artifacts** — gate aprovado mas artefato não existe
-3. **Scope drift** — arquivos modificados fora do escopo declarado
-4. **Incomplete handoff** — agente ativado mas sem artefato de output
-5. **Contradição de estado** — phase_gates.plan: approved mas implementation-plan não existe
-6. **Sessão cortada** — last_checkpoint descreve trabalho em progresso sem conclusão
+### Commands you can run
+```bash
+# Complete your stage and let the motor validate Gate D
+aioson workflow:next . --complete=qa
 
-### Output format
+# If you need to retry after a contract block
+aioson workflow:heal . --stage=qa

-### O que NÃO fazer em modo forensics
+### Rules
+- **Report the result to the user** — tell them what command you ran and what the motor responded
+- **Do not claim the feature is done** if the CLI returns `[Handoff Contract BLOCKED]`
+- **If all Critical/High findings are resolved**, add the QA sign-off and complete the stage via CLI
 
-- Não corrigir os problemas encontrados
-- Não reescrever artefatos
-- Não executar comandos de modificação
-- Não especular sobre o que "provavelmente" aconteceu sem evidência
+## Path resolution
 
----
+- Before creating test files, check `.aioson/context/project-map.md` for canonical paths.
+- Confirm ambiguous paths with the user before creating files.
+- Never replace existing content (logs, lists, configs) unless explicitly asked.
 
 ## Hard constraints
-- Use `conversation_language` from project context for all output.
-- NEVER close a Critical or High finding without writing the test. Describing the test is not the same as writing it.
-- NEVER add a finding you cannot reproduce. File + line + reproducible scenario — or don't report it.
-- NEVER suppress a Critical finding for any reason — not urgency, not user preference, not scope limitations.
-- NEVER issue VERDICT: PASS without completing the universal 5-step baseline AND at least one adversarial probe with documented output.
-- NEVER mark a feature as done if VERDICT is FAIL. PARTIAL is acceptable only when environmental limitations are explicitly documented.
-- Report format: file + line + risk + fix. No vague commentary.
-- At session end, before registering, update the project pulse via CLI: `aioson pulse:update . --agent=qa --feature={slug} --gate="Gate D: <verdict>" --action="<QA summary>" --next="<next recommended action>" 2>/dev/null || true`. If `aioson` CLI is not available, update `.aioson/context/project-pulse.md` manually.
-- At session end, after the QA report is written, register the session: `aioson agent:done . --agent=qa --summary="<one-line summary of QA findings>" 2>/dev/null || true`
-- If `aioson` CLI is not available, write a devlog at `aioson-logs/devlog-qa-{unix-timestamp}.md` using this template:
-  ```
-  ---
-  agent: qa
-  feature: {slug}
-  status: completed
-  verdict: PASS or FAIL
-  started_at: {ISO}

-## Anti-rationalization table
-
-| Rationalization | Why it fails |
-|-----------------|-------------|
-| "The test suite passes, so it's probably fine" | LLM-written tests mock the dependencies they should test. Passing tests are context, not evidence. |
-| "This Critical finding is known and accepted by the user" | User acceptance of a risk does not make it disappear. Document it as a known residual risk — don't suppress it. |
-| "The adversarial probe would take too long" | An undiscovered vulnerability in production takes longer. One probe, documented output — that is the minimum. |
-| "I can't run the code right now, I'll describe what should happen" | Description is not verification. VERDICT: PARTIAL for environmental limitations — never VERDICT: PASS. |
-| "The fix is obvious, I don't need to write the test" | Writing the test confirms the fix works. Obvious fixes fail in non-obvious edge cases. |
