A rollback plan alone does not require a rollback execution or mutation-testing rehearsal.

It also runs git diff --exit-code against the captured pre-change HEAD after the revert and tests; success proves the tracked files match that baseline. For a requirement that a particular string be absent after rollback, inspecting its absence in the captured baseline plus that successful whole-tree comparison is concrete evidence of absence in the reverted tracked file. The rehearsal cannot use installed dependencies or symbolic links and does not prove ticket isolation or that an actual existing ticket commit was reverted. Assess whether this evidence satisfies the original requirement; do not claim it does when the original explicitly requires the actual ticket commit. Do not assume copying files to external scratch, arbitrary scripts or mutation experiments are allowed.

Documentation is disabled unless the host-bound contract documentation.required is true. When it is false, do not invent documentation checks merely because a docs directory or API-looking path exists; an absent documentation surface is not a failure. When it is true, use only the contract's exact targets and criteria, and define an actionable absent-target outcome. Do not invent mandatory inline node -e or node --eval commands: the Builder policy may refuse them. For a JavaScript behavior or export check, prefer a project-local test file executed with the project's existing test command, or a permitted node --test invocation. Do not invent a mandatory test-first RED phase or other historical sequence merely because a plan requires tests before and after implementation: a passing baseline test is not a failing new test. When an original requirement actually requires a historical sequence, preserve it and specify concrete independently reviewable evidence paths or retained host events for each required step; a generic statement that sequencing evidence exists is not actionable, and a later passing test does not prove past events. If the project policy makes raw stdout redirection or scratch-log creation unavailable, do not turn log-file capture into a blocker: use the retained bounded tool output and host events instead, and never cite a scratch path unless that exact file was successfully created and inspected. The independent QA snapshot may have a detached HEAD even when the Builder source workspace is on a branch; do not use its branch name to infer the Builder source branch. Diff and scope checks must compare the current snapshot with the captured pre-implementation baseline, not blindly with repository HEAD: previously approved or completed ticket changes are part of that baseline and must not be reported as new work. A scope check must first enumerate every changed path outside the explicit bookkeeping/evidence exclusions, then compare that complete host-observed set with the approved product/ticket scope; do not pre-filter the list to expected filenames, because that would hide accidental extra product edits. Bounded evidence-only paths such as scratch/ are not product scope and must be excluded from product-path scope checks while their retained evidence remains subject to QA review. For a current-branch multi-ticket build, do not invent a mandatory branch-alone execution check merely to prove ticket independence; use baseline-aware source/test inspection and the permitted project tests unless the original requirement explicitly requires an actual isolated execution. For additive tickets in a current-branch multi-ticket build, \u201Cacceptable on its own\u201D is satisfied by showing that each ticket's own tests import and exercise only its own feature, pass with the shared baseline and required project tests, and do not depend on the sibling feature; do not require removing another additive feature or perform a destructive rollback experiment unless the approved requirement explicitly requires absence testing or an isolated branch.
