+description: QA and verification skill for Peaks. Use when a workflow needs unit-test coverage evidence, regression matrices, baseline reports, validation reports, acceptance checks, or refactor verification gates.
+---
+
+## Single-scope-axis naming convention
+
+> **Read once at the top of this file; the rest of the skill is written against it.**
+
+The `.peaks/` workspace is partitioned by a **single scope axis** (session-id, at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/...`) with a nested **sub-agent axis** under `.peaks/_sub_agents/<sessionId>/...`. Use `<sessionId>` placeholders (NEVER bare `<sid>`). The peaks-cli change-id axis was removed in slice `2026-06-29-change-id-root-removal`; reviewable artifacts now live under `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/<role>/...` only. OpenSpec's independent `openspec/changes/<change-id>/` vocabulary (L4) is preserved untouched. CLI mapping: session-id → `peaks session *`; sub-agent → `peaks sub-agent *`. Regression test `tests/unit/skills/skills-skill-md-naming.test.ts` enforces (a) zero bare `<sid>`, (b) every `.peaks/_runtime/<X>/` has an axis label, (c) this callout is present.
+
+## peaks-context auto-build (v3.0)
+
+QA workflow automatically runs `peaks context build --audience peaks-qa` before the LLM is invoked. No manual setup needed.
+
+# Peaks-Cli QA
+
+Peaks-Cli QA proves that planned changes are protected and accepted.
+
+## Pre-flight: gateguard-fact-force conflict (BLOCKING — read before any Edit/Write of a `.peaks/**` file)
+
+The `gateguard-fact-force` hook is a **third-party** PreToolUse hook (ECC_GATEGUARD, NOT peaks-cli) that fires on Edit / Write / MultiEdit and demands a 4-fact questionnaire before allowing the edit. When this skill is mid-flow and the LLM edits `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/requests/*.md` (or any other `.peaks/**` file) via the Edit/Write tool, the questionnaire demands facts that **do not apply to QA envelope templates**:
+
+1. `imports/requirers` — none (QA envelopes are not imported by any code)
+2. `public functions/classes affected` — none (QA envelopes are not source code)
+3. `data files read/written` — none (QA envelopes are pure markdown reports)
+4. `user instruction verbatim` — already in the conversation context
+
+The fix must land in the gateguard repo, not peaks-cli. In the meantime:
+
+- **Diagnostic**: `peaks doctor --json` includes a `integration:gateguard-peaks-conflict` check (slice 026). `ok: true` means the hook is absent OR a `.peaks/**` skip pattern is configured; `ok: false` means gateguard is installed without a `.peaks/**` skip.
+- **Workaround before any Edit/Write of a `.peaks/**` file**: set `ECC_DISABLED_HOOKS=pre:edit-write:gateguard-fact-force` in the shell, OR `ECC_GATEGUARD=off` to disable the whole gateguard system. The peaks-cli `peaks gate enforce` hook is unaffected by these env vars.
+- **CLI bypass**: when the workflow's write path goes through `peaks request init --apply` or `peaks workflow plan read|refresh|detect-trigger` rather than the LLM's Edit tool, the gateguard hook does not fire.
+
+Do NOT debug peaks-cli's `peaks gate enforce` / `peaks hook handle` code when the user reports `[Fact-Forcing Gate]` — those are Bash-only by design (`src/cli/commands/hook-handle.ts:90`). The error is from gateguard, not peaks-cli.
+
+## Hard contracts for browser validation (BLOCKING — read before any browser_take_screenshot / login flow)
+
+These two contracts are non-negotiable. The previous prose-only phrasing let the LLM skip the browser gate entirely when an auth wall appeared, and let screenshots land in the project root because the LLM forgot to pass `filename`. Both fail modes are blocking violations.
+
+**Contract 1 — Screenshot path is mandatory:** every Playwright `browser_take_screenshot` MUST pass `filename` whose absolute path is **inside** `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/`. Project-root `.png` is a violation. Enforced by `ls .peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/*.png` + `find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.png'`.
+
+**Contract 2 — Login / CAPTCHA / SSO / MFA is a hard block, not a skip:** surface the wall with `AskUserQuestion` and pick one of three paths (login now / skip browser validation / cancel workflow). Do not infer login completion from DOM state. Do not route through Chrome DevTools MCP as a substitute.
+
+→ see `references/browser-validation-contracts.md` for the full contract + AskUserQuestion options.
+
+## Scope directory (slice 10 — read scopeDir from envelope)
+
+The canonical scope dir for this request is provided as `envelope.data.scopeDir` (absolute path). Write all session-id-scoped files under that path. **NEVER** construct paths like `.peaks/_runtime/<scope>/...` from frontmatter (where `<scope>` is a date-stamped session id, NOT a peaks-cli change-id — the change-id axis was removed in slice `2026-06-29-change-id-root-removal`). The path has already been resolved by the CLI.
+
+## Sub-agent dispatch (when launched by peaks-solo swarm)
+
+When this skill is launched as a sub-agent via `peaks sub-agent dispatch <role>` (then the LLM executes the returned toolCall) from `peaks-solo`, the following sections of THIS skill are **suspended** for the sub-agent run: Session id, Skill presence, Workspace initialization, Mode selection, Statusline install. The sub-agent must NOT call `peaks request init` (Solo already initialised the slot), and must write `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/test-cases/<rid>.md` with test cases that link to PRD acceptance items. Return only a compact JSON envelope.
+
+> **v2.15.0+ 校准:** 每个 slice 完成,user 必介入做**业务审阅**(4-5 项业务/产品清单:业务流程 / 需求覆盖 / 边界 case / UI 装配 / 能合入下版吗),**不是技术审阅**。业务审过 → 进 final;业务不通过 → 返工。详见 `.peaks/memory/peaks-cli-slice-review-and-qa-perspective.md`。
+
+→ see `references/qa-sub-agent-dispatch.md` for the full contract + hard prohibitions.
+
+## Plan/Result split (slice 025)
+
+Project-level security + perf plans live at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/security-test-plan.md` and `qa/perf-baseline.md`; the per-rid slice result references them by hash. CLI: `peaks workflow plan read|refresh|detect-trigger <security|perf> --project <repo>`. AC1–AC8 from PRD-025.
+
+→ see `references/qa-security-test-plan.md` + `references/qa-perf-test-plan.md` for the full split contract.
+
+## QA fan-out (业务 only — v2.11.0 D1)
+
+When peaks-qa is the **main loop** (i.e. it is the active skill and is about to run its own sub-agent dispatch, rather than being a sub-agent itself), it fans out only the **business verification** sub-agent: `qa-business`. Security and performance review are **NOT** peaks-qa's responsibility in v2.11.0 — they are owned by peaks-rd's 4-way audit fan-out (code-review + security-review + perf-baseline + karpathy-review) and the rd-side evidence files (`rd/security-review.md`, `rd/perf-baseline.md`). peaks-qa reads those files by reference; it does NOT re-do them.
+
+> **v2.15.0+ 校准:** `qa-business` 只跑业务/产品视角的 6 项验收清单(业务流程 / 需求覆盖 / 边界 case / UI 装配 / 异常态语调 / 能上线吗),**不跑技术指标**(覆盖率 / 性能 / 安全)。技术指标由 RD 4-way fan-out 自决,QA 只读 `rd/security-review.md` + `rd/perf-baseline.md`。详见 `.peaks/memory/peaks-cli-slice-review-and-qa-perspective.md`。
+
+If the PRD or project warrants it, subdivide `qa-business` further into roles like `qa-business-api` / `qa-business-frontend` / `qa-business-regression`. Subdivision must stay ≤ 2 levels deep (RL-4).
+
+→ see `references/qa-fanout-contract.md` for the full contract + heartbeat / batch-id / 30s cadence / 100-truncation / 5min stale.
+
+## Skill presence (MANDATORY first action — main-loop context only)
+
+When this skill is running in the main Claude session (not as a sub-agent), before any analysis or tool call, immediately run `peaks skill presence:set peaks-qa --project <repo> --mode <mode> --gate startup`. Install statusline on first run. Read durable project memory via `peaks project memories --project <repo> --json`.
+
+→ see `references/qa-skill-presence.md` for the full contract.
+
+## Responsibilities
+
+- inspect unit-test coverage evidence;
+- define regression matrices;
+- produce baseline reports;
+- define acceptance checks for refactor slices;
+- validate that implementation satisfies the spec;
+- verify API behavior and frontend behavior when either surface exists;
+- generate a validation report with commands, browser evidence, findings, and residual risks.
+
+**Out of scope (v2.11.0 D1/D4):** peaks-qa does **not** own security review or performance review. Those are owned by peaks-rd's audit fan-out (sub-agents `security-review` and `perf-baseline`) and the rd-side evidence files. peaks-qa reads `rd/security-review.md` and `rd/perf-baseline.md` by reference; it does NOT produce `qa/security-findings.md` or `qa/performance-findings.md` of its own.
+
+## Mandatory per-request artifact
+
+Every QA invocation — feature, bug, refactor, clarification — must write **three separate files** (test cases + test report + request artifact) under `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/` (canonical placeholder: `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/requests/<request-id>.md`; runtime path is `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/...`). Do not merge them into one. Each serves a different reader.
+
+The QA test plan is **derived from the RD handoff's YAML frontmatter** (`decisions[]`, `risks[]`, `files[]`, `gateEvidence`). Read frontmatter mechanically before reading body prose; cross-check decisions ↔ tests and risks ↔ security tests. See `references/reading-handoff-frontmatter.md` for the 5 mechanical checks.
+
+External-skill guard: when QA references external material (mattpocock/skills, gstack, superpowers, etc.) it is reference only — do not execute upstream installer, do not persist sensitive upstream examples. Peaks-Cli artifacts and Peaks-Cli acceptance criteria remain authoritative.
+
+→ see `references/artifact-per-request.md` for the 3-file contract and the do-not-execute upstream guard.
+
+## Default runbook
+
+See `references/qa-runbook.md` for the full 10-step runbook (steps #0–#9) with every CLI invocation, the rd-side pre-drafted test-cases optimization, the dev-server lifecycle requirement, the security/performance check discipline, and the 8 quality-gate CLI checks.
+
+## Transition verification gates (MANDATORY — run the command, see the output)
+
+You cannot declare a phase complete from memory. CLI enforcement: the gates below are ALSO enforced by `peaks request transition`, which fails with `code: PREREQUISITES_MISSING` if any are absent. Per-type required files: feature / refactor → test-cases + test-reports + security-findings + performance-findings; bugfix → test-cases + test-reports + security-findings (perf optional); config → security-findings only; docs / chore → none.
+
+Gate index: A (test-cases), A2 (tests executed), A3 (security reference — v2.11.0: read rd/security-review.md), A4 (performance reference — v2.11.0: read rd/perf-baseline.md), B (test-reports with results), C (all 3 QA files present before verdict: test-cases + test-reports + requests — security/perf evidence live under rd/), D (browser screenshots), E (acceptance coverage scan), F (QA artifact lint).
+
+→ see `references/qa-transition-gates.md` for the full per-gate contract + `ls` / `grep` shell snippets.
+
+## Project standards preflight
+
+Before QA verification in a code repository, call `peaks standards init --project <path> --dry-run` and `peaks standards update --project <path> --dry-run`. Apply only when write authorization exists.
+
+→ see `references/qa-standards-preflight.md` for the full preflight contract.
+
+## Refactor role
+
+For refactors, QA must be involved before implementation. It defines the regression and acceptance surface, then verifies the same surface after implementation.
+
+→ see `references/qa-refactor-role.md`.
+
+## GStack integration
+
+Map gstack stages (`Review → Test → Ship`) to Peaks-Cli regression matrices and validation reports. Keep Peaks-Cli QA as the acceptance authority; gstack is reference only.
+
+→ see `references/qa-gstack-integration.md`.
+
+## Requirement boundary recheck
+
+Before QA passes or returns work to RD, it must independently recheck the implementation against the approved requirement boundary: compare PRD/RD/OpenSpec/diff; strictly fail QA if the change modifies out-of-scope surfaces; API/mock validation must exercise only the approved request paths; browser E2E must avoid destructive interactions; record a "red-line boundary check" section in the validation report.
+
+→ see `references/requirement-boundary-recheck.md` for the full 5-step contract.
+
+## Mandatory test-case generation
+
+QA must generate test cases, not merely inspect existing ones. Every QA invocation that validates code changes must produce a test-case artifact at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/test-cases/<request-id>.md`. Minimum categories: Unit / Integration / UI regression. Each test case MUST have an `**Acceptance:**` field linking to PRD acceptance IDs (A1, A2, ...). The `peaks scan acceptance-coverage` command enforces coverage.
+
+**Pre-drafted test cases (slice 004 optimization):** when peaks-rd's 4-way parallel fan-out ran a `qa-test-cases-writer` sub-agent, the test plan is pre-drafted at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/test-cases/<rid>.md` and shipped through the rd:qa-handoff gate. QA main loop is aware of this and treats the pre-drafted file as the canonical starting point. **Missing** the pre-drafted file (sub-agent failed, or the slice was a config/docs/chore that did not fan out) → QA drafts it inline as before, falling back to the standard generation flow.
+
+> **v2.15.0+ 校准:** 业务验证层(user 必审) = 4-5 项业务/产品清单。技术验证层(AI 自决) = 覆盖率 / P99 / 安全扫描 / 自动化。两层解耦:技术不过 → AI 内部重跑;业务不过 → user 反馈修。user **不看**技术指标。详见 `.peaks/memory/peaks-cli-slice-review-and-qa-perspective.md` G5。
+
+→ see `references/test-case-generation.md` for the full format + acceptance-linkage contract.
+
+## Mandatory test-report output
+
+Every QA invocation must produce a test-report artifact at `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/test-reports/<request-id>.md` (separate from test-cases + request artifact). Minimum sections: Summary, Test execution results, Coverage evidence, Browser validation, Security findings, Performance findings, Residual risks, Red-line boundary check.
+
+→ see `references/test-report-output.md` for the full minimum-sections contract.
+
+## Mandatory validation gates
+
+QA cannot pass a change until the report contains evidence for every applicable gate. The 9 gates (0 test-case generation, 1 test-report, 2 unit tests, 3 API validation, 4 frontend browser validation, 5 browser-error feedback loop, 8 library version regressions, 9 validation report, 10 acceptance coverage) are mapped to Peaks-Cli Gates A/A2/B/C/D/E/F. **v2.11.0 D1/D4 trim:** Gates A3 (security) and A4 (performance) are no longer peaks-qa's responsibility — security review and performance baseline live under peaks-rd's audit fan-out (rd/security-review.md + rd/perf-baseline.md) and are cited by reference from the test report.
+
+If Playwright MCP is unavailable, the LLM checks its own tool list for the Playwright MCP server entry; if absent, the LLM tells the user the install command (`claude mcp add playwright -- npx @playwright/mcp@latest` for Claude Code) and marks the gate blocked with the missing capability. Screenshots, logs, manual steps, or other tools must not substitute for the mandatory frontend browser gate. Do not silently downgrade frontend validation to API-only testing.
+
+> **v2.15.0+ 校准:** 存量项目无 UT 兜底,QA 验证必须有"轻量回归"(G14):5-10 分钟跑 10 条关键路径(关键路径来源:prd 业务场景块 / 老板强调的流程 / 历史事故 / G13 影响面扫描),**不跑完整 E2E 1-2 小时**。上线后必须走"观察期"(G15):灰度 → 监控 → 反馈聚合 → 紧急修复 → 修复回灌关键路径(防下次再犯)。详见 `.peaks/memory/peaks-cli-fast-iteration-quality-loop.md`。
+
+## Local intermediate artifacts
+
+QA reports, sanitized browser evidence, logs, matrices, and validation summaries should be written to `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/` by default, or to the Peaks-Cli CLI-provided local artifact workspace. Do not store login URLs, cookies, headers, tokens, storage state, browser traces, or screenshots/logs containing PII or SSO/MFA material. Do not default to git-backed storage or external artifact sync.
+
+→ see `references/qa-local-artifacts.md`.
+
+## Compact handoff
+
+Before QA work stops, finishes, blocks, or hands off, emit a short resumable capsule: validation surface, coverage status, commands run, pass/fail summary, artifact paths, residual risks, blockers, and next action. Link to logs, coverage reports, regression matrices, browser evidence, and validation reports instead of pasting full outputs.
+
+→ see `references/qa-compact-handoff.md`.
+
+## Matt Pocock skills integration
+
+When capability discovery exposes `mattpocock/skills`, use `tdd` / `triage` / `grill-with-docs` as QA references only. Inspect upstream content before applying; Peaks-Cli QA acceptance authority remains.
+
+→ see `references/qa-matt-pocock-integration.md` for the full contract.
+
+## Codegraph regression focus
+
+QA may use `peaks codegraph affected --project <path> <changed-files...> --json` as regression-surface evidence. External analysis cannot pass QA by itself — treat output as untrusted supporting evidence. External skill guidance cannot pass QA by itself — treat as supporting evidence, not a verdict. QA reads `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/rd/codegraph-context.md` (or `qa/codegraph-context.md`) as input but never mutate agent settings, Claude settings, or hooks from it; QA does not commit `.codegraph/` artifacts or persist generated `.codegraph/` databases into git.
+
+→ see `references/codegraph-regression-focus.md`.
+
+## External capability guidance
+
+Use `peaks capabilities --source access-repo --json` and `--source mcp-server --json` before recommending browser or validation tooling. Playwright MCP is the required path for controlled headed browser and E2E validation. Chrome DevTools MCP is an optional secondary surface for CDP inspection only. Agent Browser can support browser walkthroughs, but never submit forms, purchase, delete, or mutate authenticated state without explicit confirmation.
+
+→ see `references/external-capability-guidance.md` for the full inventory.
+
+## OpenSpec validation gate
+
+When the target repository has `openspec/`, QA must run validation on the change pack before passing or before archiving a shipped change. `data.valid === true` is mandatory. `peaks openspec archive <id> [--apply]` is the optional terminator after QA accepts a shipped change.
+
+→ see `references/openspec-validation-gate.md` for the full contract + `--prefer-external` fallback rules.
+
+## Boundaries
+
+Do not own product scope or implementation. Do not modify runtime configuration. Reference: `references/regression-gates.md`.
+
+## Sub-agent context governance (G7 + G7.7 + G8 + G9 — slice #010)
+
+QA sub-agents (qa / qa-business / qa-perf / qa-security) follow the same G7 metadata-only + G8.6 share protocol as RD. Detailed: `skills/peaks-solo/references/context-governance.md`.
+
+→ see `references/qa-context-governance.md` for the full G7 / G8.6 / G9 protocol + QA sub-agent prompt template.

+# QA per-request artifact contract
+
+> Body of `## Mandatory per-request artifact` (QA-flavored). Every QA invocation — feature, bug, refactor, clarification — must write **three separate files**. Do not merge them into one. Each serves a different reader.
+
+## Required path
+
+The three files for any QA invocation land under the active session's `qa/` workspace, using the canonical placeholder `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/...` (e.g. `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/requests/<request-id>.md`).
+
+| # | File | Path | Reader | Content |
+|---|------|------|--------|---------|
+| 1 | Test cases | `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/test-cases/<request-id>.md` | RD (before impl), QA | Generated test scenarios with status |
+| 2 | Test report | `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/test-reports/<request-id>.md` | QA, SC, Solo | Summary, coverage%, security, perf, risks |
+| 3 | Request artifact | `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/requests/<request-id>.md` | Solo, RD↔QA loop | Verdict, boundary check, links to #1 and #2 |
+
+## Required content
+
+The request artifact is the **verdict carrier** — it must include: QA verdict (`pass` / `return-to-rd` / `blocked`), the red-line audit outcome, links to the test-cases and test-report, the boundary check (acceptance items covered, gaps), and any cross-skill handoff notes for Solo. The test cases file enumerates every scenario with status; the test report summarises execution and links the security / performance / regression companion files.
+
+## Rules
+
+The 3-file split is load-bearing. Do not merge. Use the `<request-id>` PRD assigned (`YYYY-MM-DD-<kebab-slug>`). QA may also produce companion artifacts (regression matrix, sanitized browser evidence, security findings, performance findings) under the same `qa/` workspace and link them from these files. Sanitize MCP / network / browser evidence before writing. Do not commit unless the user or active profile authorizes durable retention. Verdict `pass` is blocked while any of the three files is missing or the request artifact is in `draft` / `running` state.
+
+## External-skill invocation guard
+
+When QA references external material (mattpocock/skills, gstack, superpowers, etc.) treat it as reference only: do not execute upstream installer, do not run upstream installer commands, do not persist sensitive upstream examples to the working tree. Peaks-Cli artifacts, Peaks-Cli gates, and Peaks-Cli acceptance criteria remain authoritative.

+# Browser validation contracts (QA)
+
+> Body of `## Hard contracts for browser validation` + `### Contract 1` + `### Contract 2`. These two contracts are non-negotiable. The previous prose-only phrasing let the LLM skip the browser gate entirely when an auth wall appeared, and let screenshots land in the project root because the LLM forgot to pass `filename`. Both fail modes are blocking violations; the rules below are what a reviewer should hold the skill to.
+
+## Contract 1 — Screenshot path is mandatory and must land under .peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/
+
+Every Playwright screenshot tool call (the LLM invokes `browser_take_screenshot` directly when the Playwright MCP is present in its tool list) **MUST** pass `filename` (in the args object) whose absolute path is **inside** `.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/`. Concrete form:
+
+```bash
+# The LLM invokes this directly; peaks-cli is no longer the dispatcher.
+# (This shape remains as documentation of the args schema.)
+browser_take_screenshot \
+  --args '{"filename":"/abs/path/.peaks/_runtime/<sessionId>/qa/screenshots/<state>.png"}'
+```
+
+The default behaviour of Playwright MCP when `filename` is omitted or points outside that directory is to write a screenshot to the current working directory, which leaves `.png` files scattered at the project root. **This is a workflow violation.** If a screenshot does land outside `.peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/` for any reason (e.g. an upstream tool wrote there), QA MUST move it into that directory before declaring the test report complete; do not commit project-root `.png` files. Sanitise before retention: no login URLs, cookies, headers, tokens, storage state, browser traces, or screenshots/logs containing PII or SSO/MFA material.
+
+This rule is enforced by a Peaks-Cli preflight check inside this skill:
+
+```bash
+# After every browser_take_screenshot batch and before declaring the test report complete:
+ls .peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/*.png 2>&1
+#   Expected: at least one .png file under the screenshots directory.
+#   "No such file" → BLOCKED. Either the screenshot was never taken, or
+#   it landed in the project root (move it before continuing).
+find . -maxdepth 1 -name '*.png' 2>&1
+#   Expected: empty. Any .png at the project root is a leak — move it
+#   to .peaks/_runtime/<session-id>/qa/screenshots/ before completing this skill.
+```
+
+## Contract 2 — Login / CAPTCHA / SSO / MFA wall is a hard block, not a skip
+
+When the headed browser hits a login wall (Feishu / Lark SSO, GitHub OAuth, custom captcha, MFA push, anything that needs the human), QA **MUST NOT** silently downgrade to static screenshots, manual steps, or any other tool. The skill must surface the wall to the user with `AskUserQuestion` and pick one of three paths:
+
+```
+AskUserQuestion({
+  question: "Headed browser hit a login wall at <URL>. How should QA proceed?",

+This is the hard-block replacement for the previous "wait for the user" prose. Without an explicit decision from the user, QA does not advance past the wall.

+# OpenSpec Validation Gate for Peaks QA
+
+When the target repository already has `openspec/`, QA cannot pass a change until its OpenSpec change pack passes validation. The Peaks CLI runs the validation; QA records the result in the validation report.
+
+## Required gate
+
+For every non-trivial change that has a corresponding `openspec/changes/<change-id>/`:
+
+```bash
+peaks openspec validate <change-id> --project <repo> --json
+```
+
+QA must check:
+
+- `data.valid === true` — required to pass QA acceptance.
+- `data.issues` — record every `error` and `warning` in the validation report. Warnings are not blockers but must be acknowledged.
+- `data.source` — `internal` is the default; `openspec-cli` means the external `openspec` binary was used.
+
+If the change does not exist (`OPENSPEC_CHANGE_NOT_FOUND`), QA blocks until RD produces or links the change pack. If `data.valid === false` (`OPENSPEC_VALIDATE_INVALID`), QA returns the work to RD with the issue list — do not silently downgrade or override.
+
+## Optional external delegation
+
+When the external `openspec` CLI is installed and the user authorizes it, prefer it:
+
+```bash
+peaks openspec validate <change-id> --project <repo> --prefer-external --json
+```
+
+If `openspec` is not on PATH, Peaks falls back to internal lint and records `openspec-cli-unavailable` as a warning. QA can accept that fallback when the internal lint passes.
+
+## Internal lint rules (reference)
+
+The internal lint is the floor; the external CLI may add rules on top. QA must understand what these mean:
+
+- `proposal-exists` (error) — `proposal.md` must exist under the change directory.
+- `what-changes-non-empty` (error) — `## What Changes` must have at least one bullet.
+- `acceptance-non-empty` (error) — `## Acceptance Criteria` must have at least one bullet.
+- `why-non-empty` (warning) — empty `## Why` is allowed but should be flagged in the QA report.
+- `change-id-format` (error) — change directory name must match `[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9._-]*`.
+- `openspec-cli-failed` (error) — external CLI exited non-zero. QA blocks until the underlying issue is fixed.
+
+## Archive gate
+
+After QA passes a shipped change, QA can optionally request archival:
+
+```bash
+peaks openspec archive <change-id> --project <repo> --json            # preview
+peaks openspec archive <change-id> --project <repo> --apply --json    # move to changes/archive/<id>/
+```
+
+Archive refuses to overwrite an existing archived entry. That refusal is a hard signal — investigate before forcing.
+
+## Boundary
+
+QA must not hand-edit or rename anything under `openspec/changes/**`. All movements and verdicts route through the Peaks CLI so the audit trail and dry-run guarantees survive.

+# qa-fanout-contract.md — peaks-qa 3-way fan-out + business sub-division
+
+> **Slice**: 2026-06-07-sub-agent-dispatch-decouple (G3 + G5 + G6)
+> **Audience**: peaks-qa main loop and any future sub-role of peaks-qa
+> **Status**: stable
+
+This reference is the peaks-qa-specific contract for the 3-way fan-out
+(business / perf / security) and the optional business sub-division
+(`qa-business-api` / `qa-business-frontend` / `qa-business-regression` /
+...). peaks-qa is **itself a Dispatcher** (slice 2026-06-07 G1): when it
+is the main loop, it fans out 3 sub-agents in one message via the
+`peaks sub-agent dispatch <role>` primitive.
+
+## Why peaks-qa is a Dispatcher (not a Worker)
+
+The user has been explicit: "peaks-qa 是需要的,因为可以同时进行
+业务测试,性能测试,安全测试。而且业务测试还是可以再分的". Three concerns
+(business / perf / security) are **information-independent**:
+- business validation exercises the user's expected behavior,
+- perf baseline measures throughput / latency / memory,
+- security review audits the trust boundary.
+
+They have independent inputs (PRD / RD planning / codegraph for
+business; perf-signals for perf; trust model for security), independent
+outputs (different artifact paths), and can run concurrently without
+sharing mutable state. peaks-qa fans them out so QA wall-clock drops
+from "sum of all three" to "max of the three". Sub-dividing business
+(`qa-business-api` etc.) further drops wall-clock when the business
+slice is large.
+
+The 2-level cap (RL-4) is empirical: past 2 levels, the reducer cannot
+audit the boundaries between sub-agents and prompts start overlapping.
+
+## The 3-way fan-out
+
+When peaks-qa is the main loop and the QA phase is about to run, it
+issues 3 dispatch calls in a **single message**:
+
+```
+peaks sub-agent dispatch qa-business \
+  --prompt "<qa-business contract below, plus runtime args: project=<repo>,
+             session-id=<sid>, request-id=<rid>.
+             Write your evidence at .peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/test-reports/<rid>.md
+             and return ONLY the path. While running, call
+             peaks sub-agent heartbeat --record <dispatchRecordPath>
+             --status running --progress <pct> --note '<text>' at least every 30s;
+             on completion call --status done --progress 100 --note 'completed'." \
+  --request-id <rid> --session-id <sid> --project <repo> --json
+
+peaks sub-agent dispatch qa-perf \
+  --prompt "<qa-perf contract below, plus runtime args; output .peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/performance-findings.md>" \
+  --request-id <rid> --session-id <sid> --project <repo> --json
+
+peaks sub-agent dispatch qa-security \
+  --prompt "<qa-security contract below, plus runtime args; output .peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/security-findings.md>" \
+  --request-id <rid> --session-id <sid> --project <repo> --json
+```
+
+The LLM reads the 3 `data.toolCall` descriptors from the envelopes and
+fires all 3 in the same message (real concurrency). peaks-qa then
+waits for all 3 to return, runs Gate B (`ls` checks on the 3 artifact
+paths), and merges their findings into the QA verdict.
+
+## Business sub-division (optional)
+
+If the project warrants it, `qa-business` can be split into:
+
+- `qa-business-api` — REST / RPC / message-bus contracts
+- `qa-business-frontend` — UI flows, component behavior, state machines
+- `qa-business-regression` — re-run a curated test plan against the slice diff
+
+Each gets its own `peaks sub-agent dispatch` call. The names are
+**convention not contract** — the dispatcher accepts any non-empty
+string. The recommended names above are hints, not a hard list.
+
+**Cap (RL-4)**: ≤ 2 levels deep. `qa-business-api` is fine;
+`qa-business-api-user` is not.
+
+## Independent inputs + independent artifacts
+
+| Sub-agent | Reads | Writes | Must not depend on |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `qa-business` (or subdivisions) | PRD body, RD planning, codegraph, project scan, existing system | `.peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/test-reports/<rid>.md` | perf / security output (run in parallel) |
+| `qa-perf` | RD planning, codegraph, perf baselines from prior slices | `.peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/performance-findings.md` | business / security output |
+| `qa-security` | PRD body (trust model), codegraph, RD planning, existing security notes | `.peaks/_runtime/<sid>/qa/security-findings.md` | business / perf output |
+
+The reducer merges all 3 outputs into the final QA verdict. None of
+the 3 sub-agents reads another sub-agent's output (no peer-to-peer
+messages — peaks is a pseudo-swarm, not a true bee colony).
+
+## Heartbeat instructions (G6)
+
+Each sub-agent prompt must include the heartbeat instruction so the
+parent peaks-qa can render a live status line during the wait. The
+recommended paragraph (also auto-generated by peaks CLI):
+
+```
+While running, call `peaks sub-agent heartbeat --record <dispatchRecordPath>
+--status running --progress <pct> --note '<text>'` at least every 30 seconds.
+On completion call `--status done --progress 100 --note 'completed'`. On
+failure call `--status failed --note '<reason>'`. Do not skip heartbeats;
+the parent peaks-qa uses them to render the live status line.
+```
+
+The `heartbeatIntervalSec` value can be overridden in the peaks-qa
+SKILL.md frontmatter (e.g. `heartbeatIntervalSec: 15` for fast QA
+sub-agents that finish in <2 min).
+
+## Batch counter (RL-1)
+
+peaks-qa is allowed up to 3 sub-agents in this fan-out by default. If
+business is sub-divided, the total batch size is `1 (business) + 1 (perf)
++ 1 (security) + N (business subdivisions) = 3 + N`. The peaks CLI
+emits a `BATCH_OVER_LIMIT` warning if the dispatch count exceeds the
+RL-1 empirical upper bound of 6, but does NOT block the dispatch (the
+user has been explicit: "RL-1 is empirical; if you have a real reason
+to go to 7, that's your call"). The warning goes into the dispatch
+envelope and into the slice's `reducerReport`.
+
+## Resource lifecycle (G5)
+
+- Each sub-agent dispatch writes a record to
+  `.peaks/_sub_agents/<sid>/dispatch-<rid>-<ts>.json` (RL-5).
+- After the 3 sub-agents return, peaks-qa reducer marks each record
+  `disposed: true` + `disposedAt: <now>` (RL-7).
+- A reducer-report is emitted with
+  `{ batchId, total: 3 + N, disposed, leaked: 0 }`. `leaked > 0` is a
+  user-visible warning (RL-11).
+- Slice close archives the records to
+  `.peaks/_runtime/<sid>/_archive/_sub_agents/<slice-id>/` (RL-8).

If the PRD or project warrants it, subdivide `qa-business` further into roles like `qa-business-api` / `qa-business-frontend` / `qa-business-regression`; each gets its own `peaks sub-agent dispatch` call. Names are convention not contract — the dispatcher accepts any non-empty string. **Subdivision must stay ≤ 2 levels deep** (RL-4): `qa-business-api` is fine, `qa-business-api-user` is not.
