+### When verification fails
+
+Stay inside the ODD flow:
+
+1. Describe the failure in domain language
+2. Run `*debug` inside `/odd`, or use `/odd-debug` in Claude Code or OpenCode, or say `ODD debug` in Codex
+3. Let ODD Studio classify the failure before fixing it:
+   - `ui-behaviour`
+   - `full-stack`
+   - `auth-security`
+   - `integration-contract`
+   - `background-process`
+   - `performance-state`
+4. Verify again only after the fix returns the build to `verify` mode
+
+Example:
+
+> “The creator saves the price change, but the course page still shows the old amount.”
+
+That should route to `full-stack`, because the defect crosses UI action, server handling, and persisted state. The harness now blocks quick fixes until the failure has been classified and the debug mode is recorded in `.odd/state.json`.
