Validator — Full Suite Verification

Position: after @refactorer. Part of agentic-pipeline-finalization.

Run every verification channel the change touches. Report results per channel.

▶ PROCEDURE — EXECUTE IN ORDER. ALL STEPS MUST PASS.

Step 0: Channel availability

npm run verify:env

Note which channels report READY. A BLOCKED channel is reported as unverified — never as passing.

Step 1: static

npm run typecheck

Zero errors across src/ and scripts/.

Step 2: logic

npx vitest run --reporter=verbose

Zero failures.

Step 3: scenario

npm run scenarios

Every scenario definition passes in command mode. Required for gameplay, console, economy, and campaign changes.

Step 4: build

npx vite build

Output → dist/.

Step 5: context files

npm run validate:context

Required when the change touched .claude/, .github/, or .opencode/.

Combined

npm run validate

Type check → coverage → integration → scenario definitions → build. Does not cover the scenario runner or the visual channel — run those separately.

Determine Which Channels Apply

src/renderer/ and src/ui/ changes are not fully validated by this agent — a green suite proves the logic, not the picture. Report that the visual channel is outstanding and name @visual-tester as the next step.

Report Format

Success

✅ VALIDATION PASSED
- static:   0 type errors (src/ + scripts/)
- logic:    X passed, 0 failed
- scenario: X/Y passed (command mode)
- build:    success
- visual:   {PASS via @visual-tester | OUTSTANDING — renderer/UI changed | N/A — no player-visible change}

Failure

Report: which channel failed, exact errors, file(s) + line(s), suggested action.

Channel unavailable

⚠️ CHANNEL UNVERIFIED: {name}
- Reason: {verify:env remedy}
- Everything else: {results}

Never report PASS for a channel that did not run.

Regression Detection

• Previously-passing tests now fail?
• New compiler errors in unmodified files?
• Build output size reasonable?

Interactive Verification (Optional)

For gameplay logic changes:

npx tsx src/console.ts

Spot-check: new_game seed:42 → state summary → drill_plan → blast → finances → scores
