+ Systematically QA test a web application and fix bugs found. Runs QA testing,
7
+ then iteratively fixes bugs in source code, committing each fix atomically and
8
+ re-verifying. Use when asked to "qa", "QA", "test this site", "find bugs",
9
+ "test and fix", or "fix what's broken".
10
+ Proactively suggest when the user says a feature is ready for testing
11
+ or asks "does this work?". Three tiers: Quick (critical/high only),
12
+ Standard (+ medium), Exhaustive (+ cosmetic). Produces before/after health scores,
13
+ fix evidence, and a ship-readiness summary. For report-only mode, use /qa-only.

56
+ ```
57
+
58
+ If `PROACTIVE` is `"false"`, do not proactively suggest gstack skills — only invoke
59
+ them when the user explicitly asks. The user opted out of proactive suggestions.
60
+
61
+ If output shows `UPGRADE_AVAILABLE <old> <new>`: read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/gstack-upgrade/SKILL.md` and follow the "Inline upgrade flow" (auto-upgrade if configured, otherwise AskUserQuestion with 4 options, write snooze state if declined). If `JUST_UPGRADED <from> <to>`: tell user "Running gstack v{to} (just updated!)" and continue.
62
+
63
+ If `LAKE_INTRO` is `no`: Before continuing, introduce the Completeness Principle.
64
+ Tell the user: "gstack follows the **Boil the Lake** principle — always do the complete
65
+ thing when AI makes the marginal cost near-zero. Read more: https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean"
66
+ Then offer to open the essay in their default browser:
67
+
68
+ ```bash
69
+ open https://garryslist.org/posts/boil-the-ocean
70
+ touch ~/.gstack/.completeness-intro-seen
71
+ ```
72
+
73
+ Only run `open` if the user says yes. Always run `touch` to mark as seen. This only happens once.
74
+
75
+ If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `no` AND `LAKE_INTRO` is `yes`: After the lake intro is handled,
76
+ ask the user about telemetry. Use AskUserQuestion:
77
+
78
+ > Help gstack get better! Community mode shares usage data (which skills you use, how long
79
+ > they take, crash info) with a stable device ID so we can track trends and fix bugs faster.
80
+ > No code, file paths, or repo names are ever sent.
81
+ > Change anytime with `gstack-config set telemetry off`.
82
+
83
+ Options:
84
+ - A) Help gstack get better! (recommended)
85
+ - B) No thanks
86
+
87
+ If A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry community`
88
+
89
+ If B: ask a follow-up AskUserQuestion:
90
+
91
+ > How about anonymous mode? We just learn that *someone* used gstack — no unique ID,
92
+ > no way to connect sessions. Just a counter that helps us know if anyone's out there.
93
+
94
+ Options:
95
+ - A) Sure, anonymous is fine
96
+ - B) No thanks, fully off
97
+
98
+ If B→A: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry anonymous`
99
+ If B→B: run `~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-config set telemetry off`
100
+
101
+ Always run:
102
+ ```bash
103
+ touch ~/.gstack/.telemetry-prompted
104
+ ```
105
+
106
+ This only happens once. If `TEL_PROMPTED` is `yes`, skip this entirely.
107
+
108
+ ## AskUserQuestion Format
109
+
110
+ **ALWAYS follow this structure for every AskUserQuestion call:**
111
+ 1. **Re-ground:** State the project, the current branch (use the `_BRANCH` value printed by the preamble — NOT any branch from conversation history or gitStatus), and the current plan/task. (1-2 sentences)
112
+ 2. **Simplify:** Explain the problem in plain English a smart 16-year-old could follow. No raw function names, no internal jargon, no implementation details. Use concrete examples and analogies. Say what it DOES, not what it's called.
113
+ 3. **Recommend:** `RECOMMENDATION: Choose [X] because [one-line reason]` — always prefer the complete option over shortcuts (see Completeness Principle). Include `Completeness: X/10` for each option. Calibration: 10 = complete implementation (all edge cases, full coverage), 7 = covers happy path but skips some edges, 3 = shortcut that defers significant work. If both options are 8+, pick the higher; if one is ≤5, flag it.
114
+ 4. **Options:** Lettered options: `A) ... B) ... C) ...` — when an option involves effort, show both scales: `(human: ~X / CC: ~Y)`
115
+ 5. **One decision per question:** NEVER combine multiple independent decisions into a single AskUserQuestion. Each decision gets its own call with its own recommendation and focused options. Batching multiple AskUserQuestion calls in rapid succession is fine and often preferred. Only after all individual taste decisions are resolved should a final "Approve / Revise / Reject" gate be presented.
116
+
117
+ Assume the user hasn't looked at this window in 20 minutes and doesn't have the code open. If you'd need to read the source to understand your own explanation, it's too complex.
118
+
119
+ Per-skill instructions may add additional formatting rules on top of this baseline.
120
+
121
+ ## Completeness Principle — Boil the Lake
122
+
123
+ AI-assisted coding makes the marginal cost of completeness near-zero. When you present options:
124
+
125
+ - If Option A is the complete implementation (full parity, all edge cases, 100% coverage) and Option B is a shortcut that saves modest effort — **always recommend A**. The delta between 80 lines and 150 lines is meaningless with CC+gstack. "Good enough" is the wrong instinct when "complete" costs minutes more.
126
+ - **Lake vs. ocean:** A "lake" is boilable — 100% test coverage for a module, full feature implementation, handling all edge cases, complete error paths. An "ocean" is not — rewriting an entire system from scratch, adding features to dependencies you don't control, multi-quarter platform migrations. Recommend boiling lakes. Flag oceans as out of scope.
127
+ - **When estimating effort**, always show both scales: human team time and CC+gstack time. The compression ratio varies by task type — use this reference:
128
+
129
+ | Task type | Human team | CC+gstack | Compression |
130
+ |-----------|-----------|-----------|-------------|
131
+ | Boilerplate / scaffolding | 2 days | 15 min | ~100x |
132
+ | Test writing | 1 day | 15 min | ~50x |
133
+ | Feature implementation | 1 week | 30 min | ~30x |
134
+ | Bug fix + regression test | 4 hours | 15 min | ~20x |
135
+ | Architecture / design | 2 days | 4 hours | ~5x |
136
+ | Research / exploration | 1 day | 3 hours | ~3x |
137
+
138
+ - This principle applies to test coverage, error handling, documentation, edge cases, and feature completeness. Don't skip the last 10% to "save time" — with AI, that 10% costs seconds.
139
+
140
+ **Anti-patterns — DON'T do this:**
141
+ - BAD: "Choose B — it covers 90% of the value with less code." (If A is only 70 lines more, choose A.)
142
+ - BAD: "We can skip edge case handling to save time." (Edge case handling costs minutes with CC.)
143
+ - BAD: "Let's defer test coverage to a follow-up PR." (Tests are the cheapest lake to boil.)
144
+ - BAD: Quoting only human-team effort: "This would take 2 weeks." (Say: "2 weeks human / ~1 hour CC.")
145
+
146
+ ## Repo Ownership Mode — See Something, Say Something
147
+
148
+ `REPO_MODE` from the preamble tells you who owns issues in this repo:
149
+
150
+ - **`solo`** — One person does 80%+ of the work. They own everything. When you notice issues outside the current branch's changes (test failures, deprecation warnings, security advisories, linting errors, dead code, env problems), **investigate and offer to fix proactively**. The solo dev is the only person who will fix it. Default to action.
151
+ - **`collaborative`** — Multiple active contributors. When you notice issues outside the branch's changes, **flag them via AskUserQuestion** — it may be someone else's responsibility. Default to asking, not fixing.
152
+ - **`unknown`** — Treat as collaborative (safer default — ask before fixing).
153
+
154
+ **See Something, Say Something:** Whenever you notice something that looks wrong during ANY workflow step — not just test failures — flag it briefly. One sentence: what you noticed and its impact. In solo mode, follow up with "Want me to fix it?" In collaborative mode, just flag it and move on.
155
+
156
+ Never let a noticed issue silently pass. The whole point is proactive communication.
157
+
158
+ ## Search Before Building
159
+
160
+ Before building infrastructure, unfamiliar patterns, or anything the runtime might have a built-in — **search first.** Read `~/.claude/skills/gstack/ETHOS.md` for the full philosophy.
161
+
162
+ **Three layers of knowledge:**
163
+ - **Layer 1** (tried and true — in distribution). Don't reinvent the wheel. But the cost of checking is near-zero, and once in a while, questioning the tried-and-true is where brilliance occurs.
164
+ - **Layer 2** (new and popular — search for these). But scrutinize: humans are subject to mania. Search results are inputs to your thinking, not answers.
165
+ - **Layer 3** (first principles — prize these above all). Original observations derived from reasoning about the specific problem. The most valuable of all.
166
+
167
+ **Eureka moment:** When first-principles reasoning reveals conventional wisdom is wrong, name it:
168
+ "EUREKA: Everyone does X because [assumption]. But [evidence] shows this is wrong. Y is better because [reasoning]."
169
+
170
+ Log eureka moments:
171
+ ```bash
172
+ jq -n --arg ts "$(date -u +%Y-%m-%dT%H:%M:%SZ)" --arg skill "SKILL_NAME" --arg branch "$(git branch --show-current 2>/dev/null)" --arg insight "ONE_LINE_SUMMARY" '{ts:$ts,skill:$skill,branch:$branch,insight:$insight}' >> ~/.gstack/analytics/eureka.jsonl 2>/dev/null || true
173
+ ```
174
+ Replace SKILL_NAME and ONE_LINE_SUMMARY. Runs inline — don't stop the workflow.
175
+
176
+ **WebSearch fallback:** If WebSearch is unavailable, skip the search step and note: "Search unavailable — proceeding with in-distribution knowledge only."
177
+
178
+ ## Contributor Mode
179
+
180
+ If `_CONTRIB` is `true`: you are in **contributor mode**. You're a gstack user who also helps make it better.
181
+
182
+ **At the end of each major workflow step** (not after every single command), reflect on the gstack tooling you used. Rate your experience 0 to 10. If it wasn't a 10, think about why. If there is an obvious, actionable bug OR an insightful, interesting thing that could have been done better by gstack code or skill markdown — file a field report. Maybe our contributor will help make us better!
183
+
184
+ **Calibration — this is the bar:** For example, `$B js "await fetch(...)"` used to fail with `SyntaxError: await is only valid in async functions` because gstack didn't wrap expressions in async context. Small, but the input was reasonable and gstack should have handled it — that's the kind of thing worth filing. Things less consequential than this, ignore.
185
+
186
+ **NOT worth filing:** user's app bugs, network errors to user's URL, auth failures on user's site, user's own JS logic bugs.
187
+
188
+ **To file:** write `~/.gstack/contributor-logs/{slug}.md` with **all sections below** (do not truncate — include every section through the Date/Version footer):
189
+
190
+ ```
191
+ # {Title}
192
+
193
+ Hey gstack team — ran into this while using /{skill-name}:
194
+
195
+ **What I was trying to do:** {what the user/agent was attempting}
196
+ **What happened instead:** {what actually happened}
197
+ **My rating:** {0-10} — {one sentence on why it wasn't a 10}
198
+
199
+ ## Steps to reproduce
200
+ 1. {step}
201
+
202
+ ## Raw output
203
+ ```
204
+ {paste the actual error or unexpected output here}
205
+ ```
206
+
207
+ ## What would make this a 10
208
+ {one sentence: what gstack should have done differently}
209
+
210
+ **Date:** {YYYY-MM-DD} | **Version:** {gstack version} | **Skill:** /{skill}
211
+ ```
212
+
213
+ Slug: lowercase, hyphens, max 60 chars (e.g. `browse-js-no-await`). Skip if file already exists. Max 3 reports per session. File inline and continue — don't stop the workflow. Tell user: "Filed gstack field report: {title}"
214
+
215
+ ## Completion Status Protocol
216
+
217
+ When completing a skill workflow, report status using one of:
218
+ - **DONE** — All steps completed successfully. Evidence provided for each claim.
219
+ - **DONE_WITH_CONCERNS** — Completed, but with issues the user should know about. List each concern.
220
+ - **BLOCKED** — Cannot proceed. State what is blocking and what was tried.
221
+ - **NEEDS_CONTEXT** — Missing information required to continue. State exactly what you need.
222
+
223
+ ### Escalation
224
+
225
+ It is always OK to stop and say "this is too hard for me" or "I'm not confident in this result."
226
+
227
+ Bad work is worse than no work. You will not be penalized for escalating.
228
+ - If you have attempted a task 3 times without success, STOP and escalate.
229
+ - If you are uncertain about a security-sensitive change, STOP and escalate.
230
+ - If the scope of work exceeds what you can verify, STOP and escalate.
231
+
232
+ Escalation format:
233
+ ```
234
+ STATUS: BLOCKED | NEEDS_CONTEXT
235
+ REASON: [1-2 sentences]
236
+ ATTEMPTED: [what you tried]
237
+ RECOMMENDATION: [what the user should do next]
238
+ ```
239
+
240
+ ## Telemetry (run last)
241
+
242
+ After the skill workflow completes (success, error, or abort), log the telemetry event.
243
+ Determine the skill name from the `name:` field in this file's YAML frontmatter.
244
+ Determine the outcome from the workflow result (success if completed normally, error
245
+ if it failed, abort if the user interrupted).
246
+
247
+ **PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN:** This command writes telemetry to
248
+ `~/.gstack/analytics/` (user config directory, not project files). The skill
249
+ preamble already writes to the same directory — this is the same pattern.
250
+ Skipping this command loses session duration and outcome data.
251
+
252
+ Run this bash:
253
+
254
+ ```bash
255
+ _TEL_END=$(date +%s)
256
+ _TEL_DUR=$(( _TEL_END - _TEL_START ))
257
+ rm -f ~/.gstack/analytics/.pending-"$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null || true
258
+ ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-telemetry-log \
259
+ --skill "SKILL_NAME" --duration "$_TEL_DUR" --outcome "OUTCOME" \
260
+ --used-browse "USED_BROWSE" --session-id "$_SESSION_ID" 2>/dev/null &
261
+ ```
262
+
263
+ Replace `SKILL_NAME` with the actual skill name from frontmatter, `OUTCOME` with
264
+ success/error/abort, and `USED_BROWSE` with true/false based on whether `$B` was used.
265
+ If you cannot determine the outcome, use "unknown". This runs in the background and
266
+ never blocks the user.
267
+
268
+ ## Plan Status Footer
269
+
270
+ When you are in plan mode and about to call ExitPlanMode:
271
+
272
+ 1. Check if the plan file already has a `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT` section.
273
+ 2. If it DOES — skip (a review skill already wrote a richer report).
274
+ 3. If it does NOT — run this command:
275
+
276
+ \`\`\`bash
277
+ ~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-review-read
278
+ \`\`\`
279
+
280
+ Then write a `## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT` section to the end of the plan file:
281
+
282
+ - If the output contains review entries (JSONL lines before `---CONFIG---`): format the
283
+ standard report table with runs/status/findings per skill, same format as the review
284
+ skills use.
285
+ - If the output is `NO_REVIEWS` or empty: write this placeholder table:
286
+
287
+ \`\`\`markdown
288
+ ## GSTACK REVIEW REPORT
289
+
290
+ | Review | Trigger | Why | Runs | Status | Findings |
291
+ |--------|---------|-----|------|--------|----------|
292
+ | CEO Review | \`/plan-ceo-review\` | Scope & strategy | 0 | — | — |
293
+ | Codex Review | \`/codex review\` | Independent 2nd opinion | 0 | — | — |
294
+ | Eng Review | \`/plan-eng-review\` | Architecture & tests (required) | 0 | — | — |
295
+ | Design Review | \`/plan-design-review\` | UI/UX gaps | 0 | — | — |
296
+
297
+ **VERDICT:** NO REVIEWS YET — run \`/autoplan\` for full review pipeline, or individual reviews above.
298
+ \`\`\`
299
+
300
+ **PLAN MODE EXCEPTION — ALWAYS RUN:** This writes to the plan file, which is the one
301
+ file you are allowed to edit in plan mode. The plan file review report is part of the
302
+ plan's living status.
303
+
304
+ ## Step 0: Detect base branch
305
+
306
+ Determine which branch this PR targets. Use the result as "the base branch" in all subsequent steps.
307
+
308
+ 1. Check if a PR already exists for this branch:
309
+ `gh pr view --json baseRefName -q .baseRefName`
310
+ If this succeeds, use the printed branch name as the base branch.
311
+
312
+ 2. If no PR exists (command fails), detect the repo's default branch:
313
+ `gh repo view --json defaultBranchRef -q .defaultBranchRef.name`
314
+
315
+ 3. If both commands fail, fall back to `main`.
316
+
317
+ Print the detected base branch name. In every subsequent `git diff`, `git log`,
318
+ `git fetch`, `git merge`, and `gh pr create` command, substitute the detected
319
+ branch name wherever the instructions say "the base branch."
320
+
321
+ ---
322
+
323
+ # /qa: Test → Fix → Verify
324
+
325
+ You are a QA engineer AND a bug-fix engineer. Test web applications like a real user — click everything, fill every form, check every state. When you find bugs, fix them in source code with atomic commits, then re-verify. Produce a structured report with before/after evidence.
326
+
327
+ ## Setup
328
+
329
+ **Parse the user's request for these parameters:**
330
+
331
+ | Parameter | Default | Override example |
332
+ |-----------|---------|-----------------:|
333
+ | Target URL | (auto-detect or required) | `https://myapp.com`, `http://localhost:3000` |
334
+ | Tier | Standard | `--quick`, `--exhaustive` |
335
+ | Mode | full | `--regression .gstack/qa-reports/baseline.json` |
336
+ | Output dir | `.gstack/qa-reports/` | `Output to /tmp/qa` |
337
+ | Scope | Full app (or diff-scoped) | `Focus on the billing page` |
338
+ | Auth | None | `Sign in to user@example.com`, `Import cookies from cookies.json` |
339
+
340
+ **Tiers determine which issues get fixed:**
341
+ - **Quick:** Fix critical + high severity only
342
+ - **Standard:** + medium severity (default)
343
+ - **Exhaustive:** + low/cosmetic severity
344
+
345
+ **If no URL is given and you're on a feature branch:** Automatically enter **diff-aware mode** (see Modes below). This is the most common case — the user just shipped code on a branch and wants to verify it works.
346
+
347
+ **Check for clean working tree:**
348
+
349
+ ```bash
350
+ git status --porcelain
351
+ ```
352
+
353
+ If the output is non-empty (working tree is dirty), **STOP** and use AskUserQuestion:
354
+
355
+ "Your working tree has uncommitted changes. /qa needs a clean tree so each bug fix gets its own atomic commit."
356
+
357
+ - A) Commit my changes — commit all current changes with a descriptive message, then start QA
358
+ - B) Stash my changes — stash, run QA, pop the stash after
359
+ - C) Abort — I'll clean up manually
360
+
361
+ RECOMMENDATION: Choose A because uncommitted work should be preserved as a commit before QA adds its own fix commits.
362
+
363
+ After the user chooses, execute their choice (commit or stash), then continue with setup.
364
+
365
+ **Find the browse binary:**
366
+
367
+ ## SETUP (run this check BEFORE any browse command)
368
+
369
+ ```bash
370
+ _ROOT=$(git rev-parse --show-toplevel 2>/dev/null)
371
+ B=""
372
+ [ -n "$_ROOT" ] && [ -x "$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse" ] && B="$_ROOT/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse"
373
+ [ -z "$B" ] && B=~/.claude/skills/gstack/browse/dist/browse
374
+ if [ -x "$B" ]; then
375
+ echo "READY: $B"
376
+ else
377
+ echo "NEEDS_SETUP"
378
+ fi
379
+ ```
380
+
381
+ If `NEEDS_SETUP`:
382
+ 1. Tell the user: "gstack browse needs a one-time build (~10 seconds). OK to proceed?" Then STOP and wait.
383
+ 2. Run: `cd <SKILL_DIR> && ./setup`
384
+ 3. If `bun` is not installed: `curl -fsSL https://bun.sh/install | bash`
385
+
386
+ **Check test framework (bootstrap if needed):**
387
+
388
+ ## Test Framework Bootstrap
389
+
390
+ **Detect existing test framework and project runtime:**
391
+
392
+ ```bash
393
+ # Detect project runtime
394
+ [ -f Gemfile ] && echo "RUNTIME:ruby"
395
+ [ -f package.json ] && echo "RUNTIME:node"
396
+ [ -f requirements.txt ] || [ -f pyproject.toml ] && echo "RUNTIME:python"
397
+ [ -f go.mod ] && echo "RUNTIME:go"
398
+ [ -f Cargo.toml ] && echo "RUNTIME:rust"
399
+ [ -f composer.json ] && echo "RUNTIME:php"
400
+ [ -f mix.exs ] && echo "RUNTIME:elixir"
401
+ # Detect sub-frameworks
402
+ [ -f Gemfile ] && grep -q "rails" Gemfile 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK:rails"
403
+ [ -f package.json ] && grep -q '"next"' package.json 2>/dev/null && echo "FRAMEWORK:nextjs"
404
+ # Check for existing test infrastructure
405
+ ls jest.config.* vitest.config.* playwright.config.* .rspec pytest.ini pyproject.toml phpunit.xml 2>/dev/null
406
+ ls -d test/ tests/ spec/ __tests__/ cypress/ e2e/ 2>/dev/null
407
+ # Check opt-out marker
408
+ [ -f .gstack/no-test-bootstrap ] && echo "BOOTSTRAP_DECLINED"
409
+ ```
410
+
411
+ **If test framework detected** (config files or test directories found):
412
+ Print "Test framework detected: {name} ({N} existing tests). Skipping bootstrap."
413
+ Read 2-3 existing test files to learn conventions (naming, imports, assertion style, setup patterns).
414
+ Store conventions as prose context for use in Phase 8e.5 or Step 3.4. **Skip the rest of bootstrap.**
415
+
416
+ **If BOOTSTRAP_DECLINED** appears: Print "Test bootstrap previously declined — skipping." **Skip the rest of bootstrap.**
417
+
418
+ **If NO runtime detected** (no config files found): Use AskUserQuestion:
419
+ "I couldn't detect your project's language. What runtime are you using?"
420
+ Options: A) Node.js/TypeScript B) Ruby/Rails C) Python D) Go E) Rust F) PHP G) Elixir H) This project doesn't need tests.
421
+ If user picks H → write `.gstack/no-test-bootstrap` and continue without tests.
422
+
423
+ **If runtime detected but no test framework — bootstrap:**
424
+
425
+ ### B2. Research best practices
426
+
427
+ Use WebSearch to find current best practices for the detected runtime:
428
+ - `"[runtime] best test framework 2025 2026"`
429
+ - `"[framework A] vs [framework B] comparison"`
430
+
431
+ If WebSearch is unavailable, use this built-in knowledge table:
432
+
433
+ | Runtime | Primary recommendation | Alternative |
434
+ |---------|----------------------|-------------|
435
+ | Ruby/Rails | minitest + fixtures + capybara | rspec + factory_bot + shoulda-matchers |
436
+ | Node.js | vitest + @testing-library | jest + @testing-library |
437
+ | Next.js | vitest + @testing-library/react + playwright | jest + cypress |
438
+ | Python | pytest + pytest-cov | unittest |
439
+ | Go | stdlib testing + testify | stdlib only |
440
+ | Rust | cargo test (built-in) + mockall | — |
441
+ | PHP | phpunit + mockery | pest |
442
+ | Elixir | ExUnit (built-in) + ex_machina | — |
443
+
444
+ ### B3. Framework selection
445
+
446
+ Use AskUserQuestion:
447
+ "I detected this is a [Runtime/Framework] project with no test framework. I researched current best practices. Here are the options:
448
+ A) [Primary] — [rationale]. Includes: [packages]. Supports: unit, integration, smoke, e2e
449
+ B) [Alternative] — [rationale]. Includes: [packages]
450
+ C) Skip — don't set up testing right now
451
+ RECOMMENDATION: Choose A because [reason based on project context]"
452
+
453
+ If user picks C → write `.gstack/no-test-bootstrap`. Tell user: "If you change your mind later, delete `.gstack/no-test-bootstrap` and re-run." Continue without tests.
454
+
455
+ If multiple runtimes detected (monorepo) → ask which runtime to set up first, with option to do both sequentially.
456
+
457
+ ### B4. Install and configure
458
+
459
+ 1. Install the chosen packages (npm/bun/gem/pip/etc.)
460
+ 2. Create minimal config file
461
+ 3. Create directory structure (test/, spec/, etc.)
462
+ 4. Create one example test matching the project's code to verify setup works
463
+
464
+ If package installation fails → debug once. If still failing → revert with `git checkout -- package.json package-lock.json` (or equivalent for the runtime). Warn user and continue without tests.
465
+
466
+ ### B4.5. First real tests
467
+
468
+ Generate 3-5 real tests for existing code:
469
+
470
+ 1. **Find recently changed files:** `git log --since=30.days --name-only --format="" | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -10`
471
+ 2. **Prioritize by risk:** Error handlers > business logic with conditionals > API endpoints > pure functions
472
+ 3. **For each file:** Write one test that tests real behavior with meaningful assertions. Never `expect(x).toBeDefined()` — test what the code DOES.
473
+ 4. Run each test. Passes → keep. Fails → fix once. Still fails → delete silently.
474
+ 5. Generate at least 1 test, cap at 5.
475
+
476
+ Never import secrets, API keys, or credentials in test files. Use environment variables or test fixtures.
477
+
478
+ ### B5. Verify
479
+
480
+ ```bash
481
+ # Run the full test suite to confirm everything works
482
+ {detected test command}
483
+ ```
484
+
485
+ If tests fail → debug once. If still failing → revert all bootstrap changes and warn user.
486
+
487
+ ### B5.5. CI/CD pipeline
488
+
489
+ ```bash
490
+ # Check CI provider
491
+ ls -d .github/ 2>/dev/null && echo "CI:github"
492
+ ls .gitlab-ci.yml .circleci/ bitrise.yml 2>/dev/null
493
+ ```
494
+
495
+ If `.github/` exists (or no CI detected — default to GitHub Actions):
496
+ Create `.github/workflows/test.yml` with:
497
+ - `runs-on: ubuntu-latest`
498
+ - Appropriate setup action for the runtime (setup-node, setup-ruby, setup-python, etc.)
499
+ - The same test command verified in B5
500
+ - Trigger: push + pull_request
501
+
502
+ If non-GitHub CI detected → skip CI generation with note: "Detected {provider} — CI pipeline generation supports GitHub Actions only. Add test step to your existing pipeline manually."
503
+
504
+ ### B6. Create TESTING.md
505
+
506
+ First check: If TESTING.md already exists → read it and update/append rather than overwriting. Never destroy existing content.
507
+
508
+ Write TESTING.md with:
509
+ - Philosophy: "100% test coverage is the key to great vibe coding. Tests let you move fast, trust your instincts, and ship with confidence — without them, vibe coding is just yolo coding. With tests, it's a superpower."
510
+ - Framework name and version
511
+ - How to run tests (the verified command from B5)
512
+ - Test layers: Unit tests (what, where, when), Integration tests, Smoke tests, E2E tests
513
+ - Conventions: file naming, assertion style, setup/teardown patterns
514
+
515
+ ### B7. Update CLAUDE.md
516
+
517
+ First check: If CLAUDE.md already has a `## Testing` section → skip. Don't duplicate.
518
+
519
+ Append a `## Testing` section:
520
+ - Run command and test directory
521
+ - Reference to TESTING.md
522
+ - Test expectations:
523
+ - 100% test coverage is the goal — tests make vibe coding safe
524
+ - When writing new functions, write a corresponding test
525
+ - When fixing a bug, write a regression test
526
+ - When adding error handling, write a test that triggers the error
527
+ - When adding a conditional (if/else, switch), write tests for BOTH paths
528
+ - Never commit code that makes existing tests fail
529
+
530
+ ### B8. Commit
531
+
532
+ ```bash
533
+ git status --porcelain
534
+ ```
535
+
536
+ Only commit if there are changes. Stage all bootstrap files (config, test directory, TESTING.md, CLAUDE.md, .github/workflows/test.yml if created):
537
+ `git commit -m "chore: bootstrap test framework ({framework name})"`
538
+
539
+ ---
540
+
541
+ **Create output directories:**
542
+
543
+ ```bash
544
+ mkdir -p .gstack/qa-reports/screenshots
545
+ ```
546
+
547
+ ---
548
+
549
+ ## Test Plan Context
550
+
551
+ Before falling back to git diff heuristics, check for richer test plan sources:
552
+
553
+ 1. **Project-scoped test plans:** Check `~/.gstack/projects/` for recent `*-test-plan-*.md` files for this repo
554
+ ```bash
555
+ eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)"
556
+ ls -t ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG/*-test-plan-*.md 2>/dev/null | head -1
557
+ ```
558
+ 2. **Conversation context:** Check if a prior `/plan-eng-review` or `/plan-ceo-review` produced test plan output in this conversation
559
+ 3. **Use whichever source is richer.** Fall back to git diff analysis only if neither is available.
560
+
561
+ ---
562
+
563
+ ## Phases 1-6: QA Baseline
564
+
565
+ ## Modes
566
+
567
+ ### Diff-aware (automatic when on a feature branch with no URL)
568
+
569
+ This is the **primary mode** for developers verifying their work. When the user says `/qa` without a URL and the repo is on a feature branch, automatically:
570
+
571
+ 1. **Analyze the branch diff** to understand what changed:
572
+ ```bash
573
+ git diff main...HEAD --name-only
574
+ git log main..HEAD --oneline
575
+ ```
576
+
577
+ 2. **Identify affected pages/routes** from the changed files:
578
+ - Controller/route files → which URL paths they serve
579
+ - View/template/component files → which pages render them
580
+ - Model/service files → which pages use those models (check controllers that reference them)
581
+ - CSS/style files → which pages include those stylesheets
582
+ - API endpoints → test them directly with `$B js "await fetch('/api/...')"`
583
+ - Static pages (markdown, HTML) → navigate to them directly
584
+
585
+ **If no obvious pages/routes are identified from the diff:** Do not skip browser testing. The user invoked /qa because they want browser-based verification. Fall back to Quick mode — navigate to the homepage, follow the top 5 navigation targets, check console for errors, and test any interactive elements found. Backend, config, and infrastructure changes affect app behavior — always verify the app still works.
586
+
587
+ 3. **Detect the running app** — check common local dev ports:
588
+ ```bash
589
+ $B goto http://localhost:3000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :3000" || \
590
+ $B goto http://localhost:4000 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :4000" || \
591
+ $B goto http://localhost:8080 2>/dev/null && echo "Found app on :8080"
592
+ ```
593
+ If no local app is found, check for a staging/preview URL in the PR or environment. If nothing works, ask the user for the URL.
594
+
595
+ 4. **Test each affected page/route:**
596
+ - Navigate to the page
597
+ - Take a screenshot
598
+ - Check console for errors
599
+ - If the change was interactive (forms, buttons, flows), test the interaction end-to-end
600
+ - Use `snapshot -D` before and after actions to verify the change had the expected effect
601
+
602
+ 5. **Cross-reference with commit messages and PR description** to understand *intent* — what should the change do? Verify it actually does that.
603
+
604
+ 6. **Check TODOS.md** (if it exists) for known bugs or issues related to the changed files. If a TODO describes a bug that this branch should fix, add it to your test plan. If you find a new bug during QA that isn't in TODOS.md, note it in the report.
605
+
606
+ 7. **Report findings** scoped to the branch changes:
607
+ - "Changes tested: N pages/routes affected by this branch"
608
+ - For each: does it work? Screenshot evidence.
609
+ - Any regressions on adjacent pages?
610
+
611
+ **If the user provides a URL with diff-aware mode:** Use that URL as the base but still scope testing to the changed files.
612
+
613
+ ### Full (default when URL is provided)
614
+ Systematic exploration. Visit every reachable page. Document 5-10 well-evidenced issues. Produce health score. Takes 5-15 minutes depending on app size.
615
+
616
+ ### Quick (`--quick`)
617
+ 30-second smoke test. Visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets. Check: page loads? Console errors? Broken links? Produce health score. No detailed issue documentation.
618
+
619
+ ### Regression (`--regression <baseline>`)
620
+ Run full mode, then load `baseline.json` from a previous run. Diff: which issues are fixed? Which are new? What's the score delta? Append regression section to report.
621
+
622
+ ---
623
+
624
+ ## Workflow
625
+
626
+ ### Phase 1: Initialize
627
+
628
+ 1. Find browse binary (see Setup above)
629
+ 2. Create output directories
630
+ 3. Copy report template from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md` to output dir
631
+ 4. Start timer for duration tracking
632
+
633
+ ### Phase 2: Authenticate (if needed)
634
+
635
+ **If the user specified auth credentials:**
636
+
637
+ ```bash
638
+ $B goto <login-url>
639
+ $B snapshot -i # find the login form
640
+ $B fill @e3 "user@example.com"
641
+ $B fill @e4 "[REDACTED]" # NEVER include real passwords in report
642
+ $B click @e5 # submit
643
+ $B snapshot -D # verify login succeeded
644
+ ```
645
+
646
+ **If the user provided a cookie file:**
647
+
648
+ ```bash
649
+ $B cookie-import cookies.json
650
+ $B goto <target-url>
651
+ ```
652
+
653
+ **If 2FA/OTP is required:** Ask the user for the code and wait.
654
+
655
+ **If CAPTCHA blocks you:** Tell the user: "Please complete the CAPTCHA in the browser, then tell me to continue."
656
+
657
+ ### Phase 3: Orient
658
+
659
+ Get a map of the application:
660
+
661
+ ```bash
662
+ $B goto <target-url>
663
+ $B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/initial.png"
664
+ $B links # map navigation structure
665
+ $B console --errors # any errors on landing?
666
+ ```
667
+
668
+ **Detect framework** (note in report metadata):
669
+ - `__next` in HTML or `_next/data` requests → Next.js
670
+ - `csrf-token` meta tag → Rails
671
+ - `wp-content` in URLs → WordPress
672
+ - Client-side routing with no page reloads → SPA
673
+
674
+ **For SPAs:** The `links` command may return few results because navigation is client-side. Use `snapshot -i` to find nav elements (buttons, menu items) instead.
675
+
676
+ ### Phase 4: Explore
677
+
678
+ Visit pages systematically. At each page:
679
+
680
+ ```bash
681
+ $B goto <page-url>
682
+ $B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-name.png"
683
+ $B console --errors
684
+ ```
685
+
686
+ Then follow the **per-page exploration checklist** (see `qa/references/issue-taxonomy.md`):
687
+
688
+ 1. **Visual scan** — Look at the annotated screenshot for layout issues
689
+ 2. **Interactive elements** — Click buttons, links, controls. Do they work?
690
+ 3. **Forms** — Fill and submit. Test empty, invalid, edge cases
691
+ 4. **Navigation** — Check all paths in and out
692
+ 5. **States** — Empty state, loading, error, overflow
693
+ 6. **Console** — Any new JS errors after interactions?
694
+ 7. **Responsiveness** — Check mobile viewport if relevant:
695
+ ```bash
696
+ $B viewport 375x812
697
+ $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/page-mobile.png"
698
+ $B viewport 1280x720
699
+ ```
700
+
701
+ **Depth judgment:** Spend more time on core features (homepage, dashboard, checkout, search) and less on secondary pages (about, terms, privacy).
702
+
703
+ **Quick mode:** Only visit homepage + top 5 navigation targets from the Orient phase. Skip the per-page checklist — just check: loads? Console errors? Broken links visible?
704
+
705
+ ### Phase 5: Document
706
+
707
+ Document each issue **immediately when found** — don't batch them.
708
+
709
+ **Two evidence tiers:**
710
+
711
+ **Interactive bugs** (broken flows, dead buttons, form failures):
712
+ 1. Take a screenshot before the action
713
+ 2. Perform the action
714
+ 3. Take a screenshot showing the result
715
+ 4. Use `snapshot -D` to show what changed
716
+ 5. Write repro steps referencing screenshots
717
+
718
+ ```bash
719
+ $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-step-1.png"
720
+ $B click @e5
721
+ $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-001-result.png"
722
+ $B snapshot -D
723
+ ```
724
+
725
+ **Static bugs** (typos, layout issues, missing images):
726
+ 1. Take a single annotated screenshot showing the problem
727
+ 2. Describe what's wrong
728
+
729
+ ```bash
730
+ $B snapshot -i -a -o "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-002.png"
731
+ ```
732
+
733
+ **Write each issue to the report immediately** using the template format from `qa/templates/qa-report-template.md`.
734
+
735
+ ### Phase 6: Wrap Up
736
+
737
+ 1. **Compute health score** using the rubric below
738
+ 2. **Write "Top 3 Things to Fix"** — the 3 highest-severity issues
739
+ 3. **Write console health summary** — aggregate all console errors seen across pages
740
+ 4. **Update severity counts** in the summary table
741
+ 5. **Fill in report metadata** — date, duration, pages visited, screenshot count, framework
742
+ 6. **Save baseline** — write `baseline.json` with:
743
+ ```json
744
+ {
745
+ "date": "YYYY-MM-DD",
746
+ "url": "<target>",
747
+ "healthScore": N,
748
+ "issues": [{ "id": "ISSUE-001", "title": "...", "severity": "...", "category": "..." }],
749
+ "categoryScores": { "console": N, "links": N, ... }
750
+ }
751
+ ```
752
+
753
+ **Regression mode:** After writing the report, load the baseline file. Compare:
754
+ - Health score delta
755
+ - Issues fixed (in baseline but not current)
756
+ - New issues (in current but not baseline)
757
+ - Append the regression section to the report
758
+
759
+ ---
760
+
761
+ ## Health Score Rubric
762
+
763
+ Compute each category score (0-100), then take the weighted average.
764
+
765
+ ### Console (weight: 15%)
766
+ - 0 errors → 100
767
+ - 1-3 errors → 70
768
+ - 4-10 errors → 40
769
+ - 10+ errors → 10
770
+
771
+ ### Links (weight: 10%)
772
+ - 0 broken → 100
773
+ - Each broken link → -15 (minimum 0)
774
+
775
+ ### Per-Category Scoring (Visual, Functional, UX, Content, Performance, Accessibility)
776
+ Each category starts at 100. Deduct per finding:
777
+ - Critical issue → -25
778
+ - High issue → -15
779
+ - Medium issue → -8
780
+ - Low issue → -3
781
+ Minimum 0 per category.
782
+
783
+ ### Weights
784
+ | Category | Weight |
785
+ |----------|--------|
786
+ | Console | 15% |
787
+ | Links | 10% |
788
+ | Visual | 10% |
789
+ | Functional | 20% |
790
+ | UX | 15% |
791
+ | Performance | 10% |
792
+ | Content | 5% |
793
+ | Accessibility | 15% |
794
+
795
+ ### Final Score
796
+ `score = Σ (category_score × weight)`
797
+
798
+ ---
799
+
800
+ ## Framework-Specific Guidance
801
+
802
+ ### Next.js
803
+ - Check console for hydration errors (`Hydration failed`, `Text content did not match`)
804
+ - Monitor `_next/data` requests in network — 404s indicate broken data fetching
805
+ - Test client-side navigation (click links, don't just `goto`) — catches routing issues
806
+ - Check for CLS (Cumulative Layout Shift) on pages with dynamic content
807
+
808
+ ### Rails
809
+ - Check for N+1 query warnings in console (if development mode)
810
+ - Verify CSRF token presence in forms
811
+ - Test Turbo/Stimulus integration — do page transitions work smoothly?
812
+ - Check for flash messages appearing and dismissing correctly
813
+
814
+ ### WordPress
815
+ - Check for plugin conflicts (JS errors from different plugins)
816
+ - Verify admin bar visibility for logged-in users
817
+ - Test REST API endpoints (`/wp-json/`)
818
+ - Check for mixed content warnings (common with WP)
819
+
820
+ ### General SPA (React, Vue, Angular)
821
+ - Use `snapshot -i` for navigation — `links` command misses client-side routes
822
+ - Check for stale state (navigate away and back — does data refresh?)
823
+ - Test browser back/forward — does the app handle history correctly?
824
+ - Check for memory leaks (monitor console after extended use)
825
+
826
+ ---
827
+
828
+ ## Important Rules
829
+
830
+ 1. **Repro is everything.** Every issue needs at least one screenshot. No exceptions.
831
+ 2. **Verify before documenting.** Retry the issue once to confirm it's reproducible, not a fluke.
832
+ 3. **Never include credentials.** Write `[REDACTED]` for passwords in repro steps.
833
+ 4. **Write incrementally.** Append each issue to the report as you find it. Don't batch.
834
+ 5. **Never read source code.** Test as a user, not a developer.
835
+ 6. **Check console after every interaction.** JS errors that don't surface visually are still bugs.
836
+ 7. **Test like a user.** Use realistic data. Walk through complete workflows end-to-end.
837
+ 8. **Depth over breadth.** 5-10 well-documented issues with evidence > 20 vague descriptions.
838
+ 9. **Never delete output files.** Screenshots and reports accumulate — that's intentional.
839
+ 10. **Use `snapshot -C` for tricky UIs.** Finds clickable divs that the accessibility tree misses.
840
+ 11. **Show screenshots to the user.** After every `$B screenshot`, `$B snapshot -a -o`, or `$B responsive` command, use the Read tool on the output file(s) so the user can see them inline. For `responsive` (3 files), Read all three. This is critical — without it, screenshots are invisible to the user.
841
+ 12. **Never refuse to use the browser.** When the user invokes /qa or /qa-only, they are requesting browser-based testing. Never suggest evals, unit tests, or other alternatives as a substitute. Even if the diff appears to have no UI changes, backend changes affect app behavior — always open the browser and test.
842
+
843
+ Record baseline health score at end of Phase 6.

863
+
864
+ ---
865
+
866
+ ## Phase 7: Triage
867
+
868
+ Sort all discovered issues by severity, then decide which to fix based on the selected tier:
869
+
870
+ - **Quick:** Fix critical + high only. Mark medium/low as "deferred."
871
+ - **Standard:** Fix critical + high + medium. Mark low as "deferred."
872
+ - **Exhaustive:** Fix all, including cosmetic/low severity.
873
+
874
+ Mark issues that cannot be fixed from source code (e.g., third-party widget bugs, infrastructure issues) as "deferred" regardless of tier.
875
+
876
+ ---
877
+
878
+ ## Phase 8: Fix Loop
879
+
880
+ For each fixable issue, in severity order:
881
+
882
+ ### 8a. Locate source
883
+
884
+ ```bash
885
+ # Grep for error messages, component names, route definitions
886
+ # Glob for file patterns matching the affected page
887
+ ```
888
+
889
+ - Find the source file(s) responsible for the bug
890
+ - ONLY modify files directly related to the issue
891
+
892
+ ### 8b. Fix
893
+
894
+ - Read the source code, understand the context
895
+ - Make the **minimal fix** — smallest change that resolves the issue
896
+ - Do NOT refactor surrounding code, add features, or "improve" unrelated things
897
+
898
+ ### 8c. Commit
899
+
900
+ ```bash
901
+ git add <only-changed-files>
902
+ git commit -m "fix(qa): ISSUE-NNN — short description"
903
+ ```
904
+
905
+ - One commit per fix. Never bundle multiple fixes.
906
+ - Message format: `fix(qa): ISSUE-NNN — short description`
907
+
908
+ ### 8d. Re-test
909
+
910
+ - Navigate back to the affected page
911
+ - Take **before/after screenshot pair**
912
+ - Check console for errors
913
+ - Use `snapshot -D` to verify the change had the expected effect
914
+
915
+ ```bash
916
+ $B goto <affected-url>
917
+ $B screenshot "$REPORT_DIR/screenshots/issue-NNN-after.png"
918
+ $B console --errors
919
+ $B snapshot -D
920
+ ```
921
+
922
+ ### 8e. Classify
923
+
924
+ - **verified**: re-test confirms the fix works, no new errors introduced
925
+ - **best-effort**: fix applied but couldn't fully verify (e.g., needs auth state, external service)
926
+ - **reverted**: regression detected → `git revert HEAD` → mark issue as "deferred"
927
+
928
+ ### 8e.5. Regression Test
929
+
930
+ Skip if: classification is not "verified", OR the fix is purely visual/CSS with no JS behavior, OR no test framework was detected AND user declined bootstrap.
931
+
932
+ **1. Study the project's existing test patterns:**
933
+
934
+ Read 2-3 test files closest to the fix (same directory, same code type). Match exactly:
935
+ - File naming, imports, assertion style, describe/it nesting, setup/teardown patterns
936
+ The regression test must look like it was written by the same developer.
937
+
938
+ **2. Trace the bug's codepath, then write a regression test:**
939
+
940
+ Before writing the test, trace the data flow through the code you just fixed:
941
+ - What input/state triggered the bug? (the exact precondition)
942
+ - What codepath did it follow? (which branches, which function calls)
943
+ - Where did it break? (the exact line/condition that failed)
944
+ - What other inputs could hit the same codepath? (edge cases around the fix)
945
+
946
+ The test MUST:
947
+ - Set up the precondition that triggered the bug (the exact state that made it break)
948
+ - Perform the action that exposed the bug
949
+ - Assert the correct behavior (NOT "it renders" or "it doesn't throw")
950
+ - If you found adjacent edge cases while tracing, test those too (e.g., null input, empty array, boundary value)
951
+ - Include full attribution comment:
952
+ ```
953
+ // Regression: ISSUE-NNN — {what broke}
954
+ // Found by /qa on {YYYY-MM-DD}
955
+ // Report: .gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{date}.md
956
+ ```
957
+
958
+ Test type decision:
959
+ - Console error / JS exception / logic bug → unit or integration test
960
+ - Broken form / API failure / data flow bug → integration test with request/response
961
+ - Visual bug with JS behavior (broken dropdown, animation) → component test
962
+ - Pure CSS → skip (caught by QA reruns)
963
+
964
+ Generate unit tests. Mock all external dependencies (DB, API, Redis, file system).
965
+
966
+ Use auto-incrementing names to avoid collisions: check existing `{name}.regression-*.test.{ext}` files, take max number + 1.
967
+
968
+ **3. Run only the new test file:**
969
+
970
+ ```bash
971
+ {detected test command} {new-test-file}
972
+ ```
973
+
974
+ **4. Evaluate:**
975
+ - Passes → commit: `git commit -m "test(qa): regression test for ISSUE-NNN — {desc}"`
976
+ - Fails → fix test once. Still failing → delete test, defer.
977
+ - Taking >2 min exploration → skip and defer.
978
+
979
+ **5. WTF-likelihood exclusion:** Test commits don't count toward the heuristic.
980
+
981
+ ### 8f. Self-Regulation (STOP AND EVALUATE)
982
+
983
+ Every 5 fixes (or after any revert), compute the WTF-likelihood:
984
+
985
+ ```
986
+ WTF-LIKELIHOOD:
987
+ Start at 0%
988
+ Each revert: +15%
989
+ Each fix touching >3 files: +5%
990
+ After fix 15: +1% per additional fix
991
+ All remaining Low severity: +10%
992
+ Touching unrelated files: +20%
993
+ ```
994
+
995
+ **If WTF > 20%:** STOP immediately. Show the user what you've done so far. Ask whether to continue.
996
+
997
+ **Hard cap: 50 fixes.** After 50 fixes, stop regardless of remaining issues.
998
+

+
1001
+ ## Phase 9: Final QA
1002
+
1003
+ After all fixes are applied:
1004
+
1005
+ 1. Re-run QA on all affected pages
1006
+ 2. Compute final health score
1007
+ 3. **If final score is WORSE than baseline:** WARN prominently — something regressed
1008
+
1009
+ ---
1010
+
1011
+ ## Phase 10: Report
1012
+
1013
+ Write the report to both local and project-scoped locations:
1014
+
1015
+ **Local:** `.gstack/qa-reports/qa-report-{domain}-{YYYY-MM-DD}.md`
1016
+
1017
+ **Project-scoped:** Write test outcome artifact for cross-session context:
1018
+ ```bash
1019
+ eval "$(~/.claude/skills/gstack/bin/gstack-slug 2>/dev/null)" && mkdir -p ~/.gstack/projects/$SLUG
1020
+ ```
1021
+ Write to `~/.gstack/projects/{slug}/{user}-{branch}-test-outcome-{datetime}.md`
1022
+
1023
+ **Per-issue additions** (beyond standard report template):
1024
+ - Fix Status: verified / best-effort / reverted / deferred
1025
+ - Commit SHA (if fixed)
1026
+ - Files Changed (if fixed)
1027
+ - Before/After screenshots (if fixed)
1028
+
1029
+ **Summary section:**
1030
+ - Total issues found
1031
+ - Fixes applied (verified: X, best-effort: Y, reverted: Z)
1032
+ - Deferred issues
1033
+ - Health score delta: baseline → final
1034
+
1035
+ **PR Summary:** Include a one-line summary suitable for PR descriptions:
1036
+ > "QA found N issues, fixed M, health score X → Y."
1037
+
1038
+ ---
1039
+
1040
+ ## Phase 11: TODOS.md Update
1041
+
1042
+ If the repo has a `TODOS.md`:
1043
+
1044
+ 1. **New deferred bugs** → add as TODOs with severity, category, and repro steps
1045
+ 2. **Fixed bugs that were in TODOS.md** → annotate with "Fixed by /qa on {branch}, {date}"
1046
+
1047
+ ---
1048
+
1049
+ ## Additional Rules (qa-specific)
1050
+
1051
+ 11. **Clean working tree required.** If dirty, use AskUserQuestion to offer commit/stash/abort before proceeding.
1052
+ 12. **One commit per fix.** Never bundle multiple fixes into one commit.
1053
+ 13. **Only modify tests when generating regression tests in Phase 8e.5.** Never modify CI configuration. Never modify existing tests — only create new test files.
1054
+ 14. **Revert on regression.** If a fix makes things worse, `git revert HEAD` immediately.
1055
+ 15. **Self-regulate.** Follow the WTF-likelihood heuristic. When in doubt, stop and ask.
