-## Reuse native checks only with positive proof

-The application owns a reviewed JSON configuration, normally `.factory/native-validation.json`:
-
-```json
-{
-  "schema": 1,
-  "input_paths": ["Sources", "Resources", "Tests", "UITests", "project.yml", "App.xcodeproj"],
-  "workflow": ".github/workflows/ios-ci.yml",

-  "context_keys": ["package_version", "package_integrity", "xcode", "sdk", "devices", "backend"],
-  "external_context_keys": ["backend"]
-}
-```
-
-Use `input_paths: ["."]` for unknown project layouts; include every source, test, asset, script,
-lockfile, configuration and resource consumed by a reviewed narrower suite. `.github/`, the
-validated configuration and receipt helper bytes always participate. Symlinks, submodules and
-dirty selected inputs cannot establish reusable proof. Generated temporary configurations are
-supported; their canonical contents participate just like a committed configuration.
-
-Pass `NATIVE_VALIDATION_CONTEXT` as a JSON object whose keys match `context_keys`, with nonempty
-string values read from actual execution state. Include the resolved package version/integrity,
-full selected Xcode build, SDK/runtime, device matrix and consumed variables. A floating runner
-label is not a toolchain identity; describe the actual Mac before lookup when necessary.
-
-Every external key requires a fresh `sha256:<64 hex characters>` witness for the exact backend
-deployment/flow revision or canonical relevant response. An origin URL is not an external-state
-witness. Missing proof means full validation. For suites with inherently changing external data,
-run those integration checks afresh outside the reusable portion. Unknown custom scripts or
-undeclared network dependencies keep full coverage; never guess that they are unchanged.

-```bash
-node "$SCRIPTS/native_validation.cjs" lookup .factory/native-validation.json
-# After every declared test and coverage check succeeded:
-node "$SCRIPTS/native_validation.cjs" record .factory/native-validation.json

-
-`lookup` needs repository `actions:read`, `GITHUB_TOKEN`, and a checkout containing the prior
-producer commit. Its outputs are `reused`, `reuse-reason`, `fingerprint`, `artifact-name` and,
-on a hit, `source-run`/`source-sha`. Missing external context returns a miss without a fingerprint.
-No completed match or unavailable API proof runs full coverage immediately; it never waits for
-another workflow. Missing local producer history is also a safe miss.
-
-`record` runs inside the producing job after tests, writing `receipt-path` and `artifact-name`.
-Retain that single `native-validation.json` with the pinned `actions/upload-artifact`, seven-day
-retention and the existing artifact process scope. For matrix suites, a collector records only
-after verifying every shard; configure every exact required job and successful step. A later
-lookup verifies the completed successful same-repository run, matching workflow, every named
-job/step, immutable artifact digest and an independently recomputed producer source tree. The
-receipt contains hashes and run identity, never context values or credentials.
-
-Keep the existing required `task/**` push check. A cheap admission may reuse prior success only
-under this proof; its required final check must require either that proof or successful fresh
-coverage. Do not replace the required push check with an unrelated PR merge-ref status.
+## Validate locally, verify the source receipt in Actions
+
+Automated tests never run in GitHub Actions, including self-hosted jobs. Run only impacted checks
+in the owned workspace and publish an authenticated receipt for the frozen clean candidate.
+[Local validation](LOCAL_VALIDATION.md) defines the `gowalk-cicd validate` commands and proof.
+Actions verifies that source proof and keeps build, signing, artifact, upload and health checks.
+Existing custom app workflows require explicit migration: the installer does not infer which
+parts of an arbitrary shell script are tests or rewrite mixed build/test execution blindly.
+The older native-validation artifact reuse helpers remain for compatibility; they do not authorize
+new test execution in Actions. Preserve required check names while replacing their execution with
+local proof verification, and describe that behavior honestly in the job steps.

+# Local validation and Actions integrity
+
+Automated tests run in the owned workspace, never in GitHub Actions, including self-hosted
+jobs. Select only the focused checks affected by the change. Do not repeat a full regression
+on every push, on merge, or before publication. Actions still builds, signs, uploads, checks
+artifacts and verifies deployment health; those operations are not automated test suites.
+
+Commit the complete candidate first. Use a durable receipt path outside the checkout:
+
+```bash
+npx --yes gowalk-cicd@1.0.186 validate run --receipt "$TASK_OUTPUT/local-validation.json" -- \
+  node --test test/changed-behavior.test.mjs
+npx --yes gowalk-cicd@1.0.186 validate check --receipt "$TASK_OUTPUT/local-validation.json" --sha "$HEAD_SHA"
+git push origin HEAD
+npx --yes gowalk-cicd@1.0.186 validate publish --receipt "$TASK_OUTPUT/local-validation.json"
+```
+
+`TASK_OUTPUT` is task-owned durable storage; `HEAD_SHA` is the candidate's `git rev-parse HEAD`.
+The local command is executed directly, with the supplied arguments. Use the project's existing
+focused runner when several checks belong together. `run` refuses Actions and a dirty checkout,
+removes an old receipt at that path, and writes a new one only after the command exits successfully
+and HEAD, repository, tree and checkout cleanliness remain unchanged. `check` verifies that result
+without executing commands or contacting GitHub. `publish` checks it again, reads the remote commit
+tree and posts an authenticated `local-validation` commit status. GitHub authentication uses `gh`.
+
+The receipt schema is `gowalk-cicd/local-validation.v1`, with `repository`, `head_sha`, `tree_sha`
+and `command_sha256`. The command digest is SHA-256 of the actual argument vector encoded as JSON.
+The full committed tree includes dependency lockfiles and configuration. This proof does not claim
+to describe untracked installed dependencies or the whole local machine. The status description is
+`v1:<tree SHA-1>:<command SHA-256>`; receipts and statuses contain no command text or child logs.
+
+Actions verifies the explicitly selected head, using the helper vendored by the installer:
+
+```yaml
+permissions:
+  contents: read
+  statuses: read
+steps:
+  - uses: actions/checkout@df4cb1c069e1874edd31b4311f1884172cec0e10
+  - name: Verify local candidate validation
+    env:
+      GH_TOKEN: ${{ github.token }}
+      VALIDATION_HEAD: ${{ github.event.pull_request.head.sha || github.sha }}
+    run: node .github/actions/swift-app/scripts/local_validation.cjs verify --sha "$VALIDATION_HEAD"
+```
+
+`verify` executes no tests. A PR requires same-repository head identity and a successful status
+issued by its author; a push requires its exact event SHA and sender. Manual workflow dispatch verifies
+the selected repository, explicit SHA against `GITHUB_SHA`, and the dispatch sender. The checked-out tree must equal
+that head's tree, including on a PR merge ref. If main advanced and changed the merge tree, update
+the task branch and validate the new candidate locally. Missing, failed, wrong-author or mismatched
+proof refuses. A missing status gets six five-second retries for publication immediately after push.
+
+The CLI also accepts `gowalk-cicd validate verify --sha ...`. The installed script and its sibling
+`local_validation_core.cjs` avoid fetching another package in app jobs. Legacy composite inputs
+`run-tests`, `test-command` and `test-destination` are accepted but ignored; composites execute no tests.
+Custom app workflows and required status names need explicit migration. The installer preserves
+unknown app-authored execution rather than guessing how to split an arbitrary mixed build/test script.
+
+For this package, `pr.yml` verifies local proof, release version and the npm archive. Main publication
+packages and publishes that checked artifact without npm lifecycle hooks or a repeated regression.
