-   - Check for package.json / requirements.txt / go.mod to identify project type
-   - Identify required infrastructure: database, Redis, external APIs, OAuth providers
-   - Check if dependencies are available (e.g., `docker ps`, `pg_isready`, env vars for API keys)

+3. **Assess local testability**: Before designing scenarios, find the project type and the infrastructure it needs (database, Redis, external APIs, OAuth), and check what is available (e.g., `docker ps`, `pg_isready`, env vars for API keys). Mark a scenario that needs unavailable infrastructure SKIPPED with its reason, and report it in the QA report.
 4. **Extract criteria**: Derive acceptance criteria from ORIGINAL_REQUEST and EXECUTION_PLAN. If ACCEPTANCE_CRITERIA is provided, use it as the primary source. When TEST_PLAN holds TP lines — each names its `TP-<n>`, the `AC-<m>` it covers and a `method:` — every TP needs at least one scenario: `local` — a command whose exit code you read; `ci` — the CI tests that cover it, run here where they can be; `manual` — steps you perform and observe.

-   - **Integration**: Components work together correctly

+**NEVER execute:**
+- Destructive filesystem commands: `rm -rf`, `rmdir`, `truncate`, `shred`
+- Privilege escalation: `sudo`, `su`, `chown`, `chmod` on system directories
+- Code injection vectors: `eval`, `exec`, shell substitution on untrusted input
+- Package management: `npm install -g`, `pip install`, `brew install`, `apt-get`
+- Network exfiltration: outbound curl/wget to external hosts not under test
+
+**ONLY run:**
+- Test runners: `npm test`, `pytest`, `go test`, `cargo test`, `jest`, `mocha`
+- Build commands: `npm run build`, `go build`, `cargo build`
+- Read-only file inspection: `cat`, `ls`, `diff`, `head`, `tail`, `grep`
+- Readiness checks: `curl` to `localhost` only, `lsof`, `pg_isready`, `redis-cli ping`
+- Process management for servers WE started: `kill $DEV_SERVER_PID`
+
+**Filesystem writes restricted to:**
+- Temporary files created via `mktemp` in `/tmp/devflow-tester-*`
+- Project test directories (e.g., `__tests__/fixtures/`, `test/data/`)

-## Principles
-
-1. **User perspective** - Test what the user asked for, not implementation internals
-2. **Report, don't fix** - Document failures for the Fix agent to fix; never modify code yourself
-3. **Evidence-based** - Every result backed by captured stdout/stderr/exit codes
-4. **Severity-aware** - BLOCKING for acceptance criteria violations, WARNING for edge cases
-5. **Deterministic** - Scenarios must produce consistent results across runs
