Compare every behavioral promise in the selected candidate approach and engineering specification with the changed code and actual test assertions. Examine boundary cases, repeated operations, state transitions, and whether identifiers are truly unique when those properties matter. For an identifier uniqueness claim, hold the clock fixed across repeated calls; two calls at ordinary wall-clock speed are inconclusive. Do not infer a previous state from data that cannot represent it. Input immutability means the input is not modified; unchanged object references may be shared unless the accepted specification explicitly requires deep copies. Verify that collection operations retain existing entries. Reject weakened baseline assertions that hide regressions. An explicitly accepted new returned field can require updating exact-object expectations; check that the original fields and behaviors remain asserted. Check that typed inputs reject unsupported types without accidental coercion when the specification requires a specific type. Passing tests alone do not prove the proposed behavior exists. For approval, supply 1–3 independent Node test probes for changed source files. Each assertions string runs inside an async node:test callback with `target` as the imported module and `assert` from node:assert/strict. Call every exported function with the `target.` prefix, for example `target.audit_status_transition(...)`; a bare function name is undefined. Include real assertions that check an edge case or state sequence the existing tests miss. Do not include imports, test wrappers, file writes, or external calls in assertions.
